s45 Pound Bear Killed After Maziy
Y Pigs are Lost = 3

Charleston Post TX
A tremendous black 6ear. prohAbly'
the largest ever Killed In these parts,
certainly within the memory o4stif1|
present generation, was sliilet soo1<
10 days ago by q party, sof i bphssss
in Hell. Hole swamp. IA R4rkeley
county. s y As,ffsf. =.
The bear weighed Ts45s poundA
which is about three times the eefsht
of a fair-sized black bear Of this
region.
A number of pigs had been ta zen
from the farms about He'll Hole
swamp and the losses were attributed
to bear, whose tracks were seen
around the country. A party of
hunters was organized to get the
bear, and their dogs sool struck the
trail and traced the animal to the
swamp. The hunters came upon the
bear, and, though they judged from
tracks that he was pretty big fellow
they were astonished and startled at
his size when they saw him. The
bear put up no fight, but endeavored
to get away into the woods. The
hunters were armed with pump guns
and they filled the great beast with
buckshot and brought off his huge
carcass. 1t tipped the scale at GAS
pounds.
Mr.. Brinsen, of that section, who
was in the city today, stated that he
was going to bring the hide and paws
Of the bear to Charleston to put them
on exhibition. 1t has been suggested
that they might be given to the Char
lesion Museum for mounting
The black bear is not uncommon in
this part of the country, though it is
becoming more rare as the lands are
cleared, and is found only in the re-
mote parts of the country, chiefly in
the swamps. 1t does not, as a rule,
attain a great size, and a bear of two
or three hundred pounds weight is
considered a pretty large specimen
The black bear is a rather timorous
beast and does not, as a rule, attack
man, but it can put up a pretty good
fight If hard pressed.

TRUCE NOT SIGNED.
FORMAL OPENING ON BALKAN
ATsMISTICE POSTPONED.
signature OF Protocol Deferred to Give
Them Opportunity to Put Their
Names to Agreement.

Constantinople, Dec. 1.--(Midnight)
The signing of the protocol of the
armistice in the Turkish Balkan war
has been postponed until Tuesday
In order to give an opportunity to the
representatives Of the allies to sign.
The Greek delegate required 4S
hours in which to receive the neces-
sary authority from his government.
1t is said the duration of the armis-
tice has been fixed at eight days, but
it will be prolonged another seven
days if necessary.
Terms of the armistice will not be
known until after. the signatures are
affixed. Nevertheless. it is understood
that they have been considerably re-
duced as compared with the origr
demands of the Balkan league. 4 y
They will provide for the L
tenance Of the position which \the
bellingerents at present occupy and
for revictuaiing the beleaguered
towns.
1t is believed that the latter point
is responsible for the hesitation on
the part Of the Hellenic delegate, be-
cause 1t implies raising the blockade
with regard to foodstuffs. The mat
ter, therefore, has been referred to
Athens for discussion.
The meeting Of the delegates In the
peace negotiations has taken place

Richlard County jail under charge
OF breach Of trust with fraudulent in
tent Three weeks ago Simons left
Columbia to go to Jacksonville, Fla,
where he had some business inter-
ests, and when he did not return with
In few days the officials of the bank,
as matter of business precaution, en-
gagged III. e. Gooding, q public ac-
countant, to check over the books of
the bank.
Some irregularities were found,
among them being. it Is alleged, the
certifying by Simons Of his personal
check for s501, when he had no funds
on deposit to his credit 1t was on
this charge that a warrant was sworn
out before Magistrate James H..
Fowles. -N
Simons was arrested in Hamilton,
o.. by Inspector of Police Dearmand,
Of that place. Sin,ons waived extradi-
tion and consented to come to Column
bia, where he arrived this afternoon in
charge Of Dearmand. He states that
after remaining in Jacksonville a few
days hn went direct to Cincinnati,
where he obtained work as a salesman
for q truss. 1t was while exhibiting
this appliance In Hamilton, about ave
miles from Cincinnati. that he was
Recognised and arrested. SO far as
known. simons has. not secured coun-
sci, and no date for the preliminary
examination has been set.
Mr., Harry Cantey. treasurer of the
Richland Savings Bank and Trust
Company was seen tonight and asked
for a statement in regard to the mat
ter: ,Hef said that 30 tar an tie tsc /.
countant has been able to find the al
legged shortage Of Simons is apparent
ly about $1,000. He is bonded in the
Massachusetts, Bonding and Insurance
Company, Of Boston. This bond, to-
gether with some securities that the
bank has been able to get possession
OF. will cover large part Of the al
legged shortage, so that the loss to the
bank. IL any. will probably be small.
"The integrity Of the bank is not
affc ted and business Is being con-
Quoted as usual" said Mr.. Cantey.
Simons came to Columbia several
years ago from New York and has
been connected with the bank since
Its organization. The Richland Saw

of Columbia's youngest banking insti-
tutions. and d prosperous one. The
