Hunters Kill Big Grizzly.

The monster grizzly bear that for years has been making many sieepless nights for the farmers, miners and residents of the northwestern Trinity region has at last been slain.
 This monarch of the forest and slayer of small domestic animals was killed by Thomas Mcdonald, a wealthy mining man who has been camping along the Salmon range in Trinity
 Single-handed Mcdonald, who is a mouutaineer of marked ability killed the bear after q lively tussle
 The bear weighed 1000 pounds, and is the finest and biggest specimen ever seen in the Trinity mountain re- gions. The animal had for years de fled all efforts to capture or kill him. -Naryville Correspondence San Fran cisco Cal

1 had retired-as 1 thought, perman- ently-but the old yearning for gain and adventure had swept me from my moorings, and l was once more on the road making little professional tour and meeting with the usual nocturnal adventures and varying degrees of success, when, one gloomy night, l inadvertently committed the fatal mistake which brought to a sudden termination
 But will not anticipate.
 It will be better to relate the hap penings of that ill-starred night in their proper sequence.
 Standing well back from the high way, on a slightly eminence, in the
 kirts of a thriving village, l had
 8 large mansion, with we'll
 awns, extensive grounds, and other external evidences (as viewed from distance), of being the abode of wealth and luxury,
 I naturally supposed it to be the country residence Of some million aire, and although the owner doubt less was not expecting a call from ne. resolved to extend to myself the freedom of his luxurious abode at the earliest opportunity and carry off, if lrck permitted, few specimens of plate and other souvenirs of the oc- casion.
 So the first dark night. armed with the necessary tools and my trusty re volver I strolled out to the neighbor- hood of the imposing mansion along about midnight, and greatly to my sur mise found no trouble whatever in making my way into the grounds. There was a large iron gate at the entrance but it was not locked, nor was thsre any watch dog on guard.
 When I reached the house l saw | what had not before noticed, that lhere were heavy bars to all the win | aows. This struck me as strange, .slt some wealthy householders have peculiar notions. and l chuckled to | myself at the idea which the owner of this place evidently entertained that the window bars furnished an added security to his valuabtes' Just as though d genuine housebreakei minded such trifle as halflnch wrought iron bar.

slan.es .Nhlskx for Deaths.

A physician who has practiced his century believes that most of the deaths in this country attributed to snake bite are really due to alcoholic poisoning. "I have never attended a case" he says, without finding the patent drunk. Whisky is given iD such large quantities that 1t is worse than the snake bite. The modern method is to give no alcohol. Instead a series of bandages are tied above the wound, and these are removed ono at time at intervals. The virus thus gets into circulation gradually. Local treatment to the bite is given to oxi dize the poison"
