Tract.

Washington, Nov. 3.-The depart
ment OF justice has made an agree
ment with the American Smelling
and Refining company whereby title
to several thousand acres of coal

been illegally obtained years ago
through dummies. will be restored to
the government
The lands, part OF a 2,213-acre tract
near Aguilar and part OF 1880 acres
at Cokedale. are estimated to be worth
millions Of dollars.
In addition to its restoration of the
land the smelling company will pay
to the United States cents a ton

The extent of the blow to the trade
may, it is said, be roughly approx
mated by the fact that the business
done at the stock yards Is In the
neighborhood of $35,000,o00 a day.

Co., will require only two days. After

that some cattle which had been In

fattened had developed the foot ant

TWO BEARS FIGHT TO DEATH
Huge Grizzly and a Black Member of
Bruin Family Battle TO Finish
In Denver Park.

Denver.-A huge male grizzly" and
a black bear cub fought finish fight
at City Park zoo. The black bear,
one Of a den of five, is dead. Curios-
ity and the stimulus of crisp spring
morning are responsible.
The bear went in quest of advep-
ture. He shifted the air, SHOOK MINI
self and placed paw upon the first
crosspiece of the iron grating which
separated his pen from the one adj
joining, In which the grizzly, the larg.
est in the zoo. was confined.
The visiting Bruin looked induisi-
lively toward the top and then com
menced to mount, stopping at every
round to regard inquiringly the four
black bears which be had left below.
From the other side of the grating
the grizzly regarded the approach with
disapprovaI-
The bear reached the top and
paused to take account of his exploit
with conscious satisfaction. Then he
lost his balance and a moment later
fell to the cement floor of the griz-
zly's preserve.
When the keepers arrived later the
black bear was dead.

ONE DAYS CATCH

tie a rope Is or 20 feet long around a
small barrel that has been well
plugged up and made water-tight. To
the end of the barrel is fastened a
large steel hook, baited with dried
fish. Several of these barrels, with
rope and hook attached, are put on
board a yacht and start Is made for
the noted shark grounds just outside
the harbor. On their arrival at the
shark ground the casks and lines are
thrown overheard about 100 yards
apart, and the yacht cruises round,
awaiting developments.
Presently one of the barrels com
mences to rock up and down and
dance at a great rate, sometimes dis
appearing under the water and re-
appearing at distance. Then a boat
is lowered and it's occupants row as
rapidly as possible toward the float
ing barrel Backward and forward, In
circles and winding lines, the elusive
cask is pursued, and only after q
long period of hard rowing, sometimes
for hours, is 1t captured and towed to
the yact, the hooked fish dragging
after 1t as a matter OF course.
The tactics pursued at night are diff
ferent. A line of great strength, 300
feet long, is employed with the usual
hook and chain attached and baited as
described above. One end of the rope
is tied to the wharf and the we'll
baited hook is thrown few yards
away into shallow pool In the mid
die 'ofsa patch Of moonlit sand. Very
soon dark object is seen gliding
like a shadow from the deep water
across the sand toward the pool and
hating few feet from the bait, the
fishermen, OF course, all sitting as still
as statues a little distance away.
When the fish has made a meal IL
starts off back to the deep water
again, and the rasping Of the rope
signifies that the hook is in it's mouth.
Then-and not until then-the men
jump for the rope and run with it in
the opposite direction. The shallow
water is now cut into foam as the
taut line is pulled through 1t. and the
shark splashes with great ferceness
and fights strongly for its life, The
Juggling men sway rapidly to and fro
until their efforts are at last trfum-
plant, and the shark is hauled UP on
the sand.

Having Been Separated for
Score OF Years.

Towanda. Pa.-"George, will stand

when your prison days are ended come

Thus spoke Eugene Bowers, thirty
two years old, as he tearfully babe his
brother George good-by at the Towan-
da jail. Eugene had found and claimed
his brother George after separation
of 20 years. George faces at least fif-
teen years In the Eastern penitentiary
for assault and robbery.
Through newspaper clippings, Eu-
gene established the identity Of the
prisoner as his brother.
When Eugene and George met they
embraced and sobbed like children.
Then Eugene unfolded a story which
brought tears to the eyes Of those who
heard 1t. His mother, he said, eloped
in 1893, taking George, then q child OF
three years, with her. Since that time
they have been lost to the deserted
husband and all blood relatives.
George grew to manhood, fell into
evil ways and his downfall ended in
the assault which win send him to

In Corning, N. z. They supposed the
