Duncan Mcintosh, who in early days
was a resident of Walsh county, and
once lived on the Honey farm adjoin-
ing Park river, according to a Prince
Rupert, B. c., dispatch dated Oct. s,
had the struggle of his life with a
grizzly bear. 1t appears that he was
prospecting at Hunters Basin, near
Telkina. The bear forced itself into
the cabin where Mcintosh was sleep
ing. Mcintosh awoke and fired at the
intruder, but not before he was badly
bitten n clawed. Exhausted and
bleeding he walked seventeen miles
to Telkina. The body Of the grizzly
was found near the cabin.

STONE CUT WITH SHOT.
Sand and Emery Being Superseded
by New Method.

1t is popularly supposed that the
saving of stone into slabs or blocks IS
done by sand and water beneath some
suitable tool. But sand and emery
have been abandoned in favor or
chiiled-steel shot. Steel shot is made
so hard that it cannot be bruised or
crushed under the heaviest pressure,
whereas sand or emery is soon reduc-
ed to an ineffective powder. A piece
of work can be done thrice as fast
with shot. so that the saving OF
time, says Harper's Weekly, makes
its use cheaper than to use sand. The
wear on the tool is far less also, and
there is greater accuracy in the cut.
A particle of sand is effective in saw
ing only when it embeds itself in the
blade. to stand there as small, sharp
tooth, which removes from the stone
below it one grain at time and no
more. A shot rolls over and over

as the point of contact is very small,
the pressure there concentrated
crushes the hardest stone to splin-
ters of appreciable size. Shot OF Clf-
ferent sizes should be worked togeth-
er, as the largest tend to escape from
under the blade first, then the next in
size. and so on, leaving some Gaocr

The durability of the shot is amaz-
ing. Under a ring drill, steel shot IS
employed in borings of all sorts IN

dations for the Hudson Terminal IN
New York, cores six to eight inches
in diameter were thus taken out more
economically than was feasible by any
other method. This hard shot is also

year-old girl, who is being held in
the woman's ward at the county
prison, charged with polygamy. Ac-
cording to the girls statement, she
was originally married at Newport,
Tenn, to man who she alleges
forced her to marry him. Soon leav-
ing him, she married again in about
a year. Husband No. 2 mistreated
her, she claims. She accordingly
left him without the formality of a
divorce. Several months ago she
came to Greenville to live with her

March 3, last Scott soon learned OF
his two predecessors in his wife's

the matter to the sheriff, who arrest

THE GREEN BAG INQUIRY.
How a British Investigation Got Its
Name.

NdIllc.
The Green Bag Inquiry began Feb
ruary 3, 1917, SO years ago. The in
quiry took it's name from the fact
that it's chief promoter, the Tory
Lord Sidmouth, carried the papers
upon which it was based into par
lament in a green bag.
The British people, having put
down Napoleon, began thinking that
it might be just as we'll to put down
the clique of little Napoleons at
home, writes the Rev. Thomas B.
Gregory in the New York American,
who were strutting around in their
imaginary greatness and doing much
harm to the rank and file of the
kingdom. Having settled the affairs
of the continent, they very wisely
concluded that it was about time to
begin settling their own affairs.
In a word, the people began hold
ing meetings to discuss the ways
and means Of relieving the political
and economic situation in which they
found themselves, a situation that
was as full of distress as it was of
humiliation.
Now, my Lord Sidmouth, voicing
the sentiment of the greater part Of
the British aristocracy, declared that
these public meetings were as dan
gerous as they were presumptious.
A member of the house of lords
thus unbosomed himself: These
meetings are not meetings of the
people of England but of vagabonds.
They sap the spirit of loyalty, of
morality, of religion, and serve to
subvert our laws and our liberties.
Still another said: Reform is in
novation; innovation is revolution;
revolution means the guillotine and
the dagger. Down with reform y
To this balderdash the reply of the
people was: THE question now is
as to the paramount and imprescript-
able right of the people of England
to meet and express their opinion
upon the political state of the coun-
try. We hold that to be right not
only of Englishmen, but one inherent
in man-one antecedent to all po-
litical institutions of which no politi-
cal institution can deprive mankind. "
With his green bag Sidmouth went
to the parliament and came out with
the famous -Four Acts" the two
most important of them being the
"seditious meetings act," prohibiting
the assembling of the people for pub
lie discussion, and the 'bill for the
suspension of habeas corpus which,
violating the most sacred provision
of Magma Charta, gave powers to
ministers to arrest practically any one
they wished. thus establishing upon
the soil of England as verltable
despotism as was ever set up by an
Oriental sultan or Russian czar.
Such was the result of the, first
attempt in modern times of the peo-
pie of England to secure the freedom
of speech upon which all govern
mental justice and all personal self
respect necessarily depends. 1t was
a forlorn beginning. But fortunately
it was only a beginning. The fight
was kept up, and today there is no
freer people on the footstool than
those who were so summarily down.
