Bear Huntino.

Among the sports of India is the
capturing of bears. and to this end
curious means are sometimes de-
vised. For example, four or five sturdy
men arc armed, two with long spears
cross-barred on the handles close to
the sharp twoedged blade. and two or
three with ten-foot bamboos, of which
the ends are smeared with bird-lime.
These hunters sally forth with dogs
before dawn. They pass along the
base of the hills with the fresh morn
Ing wind blowing up the plains below.
Should the hunters be lucky it Is not
long before the dogs wind the bear.
The dogs are slipped and disappear
In the semi-darkness. Soon the roar
Ing and growing indicate that they
have found the game. The hunters
run up to the spot where the bear is
lighting with the dogs The men with
the lined poles poke the bear in the
ribs and adroitly twist the ends in its
long hair, thus holding it fast on each
tank The spearmen complete the
operation by repeated spear thrusts.

charges that patrolmen Ramsey and

What made the proposition worse
was the fact that the dog is deaf and
blind Anybody can 80 out and kill
a deaf and blind dog, especially when
the animal is 20 years old and is so
feeble from the gout and rheumatism
that you can hear his joints squeak
when he walks. Neville was late at
the police station yesterday morning
and thereby started the trouble. Ram
sey and Reese later met him ON the
street and after expressing their re-
spective opinions Of him in language
wholly uncalled for, so wounded Ne
Vile pride that he skunk away into the
