Voters Leave Meeting as
Burrows Raps Insurgents

HILLSDALE, Mich. Sept. 2.-Hills-
dale, strongly insurgent, il more so
today than it was ever before. Sen
ator Julius Caesar Burrows delivered
an address here yesterday at the
courthouse square.
An audience of 400 voters welcom-
ed the senator when he started to
speak. Before he had half finished
his address, 800 had left and the re-
naming listeners were rapidly drift
ing away.
Burrows lost many votes in the city,
Ii is said, by his bitter attack against
the Insurgents whom he repeatedly
referred to as revolutionists, threat
ening to destroy the Republican party
and endangering the welfare OF the
nation.
His speech was a defense of his
action during the Hast session Of con-
gress and he said he had merely fol-
lowed the lead laid down by every
Republican president. He mentioned
all of the nations executives until he
came to Roosevelt, then stopped and
took up another topic.
b 1t Is the consensus OF opinion here
that he has turned Hillsdale county
into Townsend stronghold.

BEAT HER TO DEATH

Savage Animal Attacked Ne wBruns-

After Desperate Fight.

CHATHAM, N. b., Sept. with a
pair of fence rails as their only weap-
on, Ambrose vickers and B. Harris
beat to death a savage bear near
Blackville few days ago.
The men were talking in the high
way when a she-bear with cubs came
out on the road. The animal was
in a Quarrelsome mood, and a stone
thrown in her direction instead OF
causing her TO run away, made her
turn savagely ON the men. The one
who was mounted got off his horse
and the two defended themselves with
stones, well-directed stone partially
stunned the animal, and before 1t
could recover. Harris and Vickers
killed her with fence rails. The cubs
made their escape, however, and were
not seen again.
The bears are very plentiful and
causing much trouble this year. Ow-
ing TO the failure of the berry crop
this year the bears are robbing the
camps of the lumbermen and guides
