MEN KILL BEAR
 WITH CLUBS

It is not an unusual thing for fishermen to return from a trip with an unexpected catch, particular Iy around Cordoya, but the catch of Jake Logan and Jack Wash last Thursday was, to say the leasG un- usual, consisting, in addition to a fine string of trout, of a yoarltug black bear.
 The two fishermen went to the North Arm of Eyak lake and were successful in landing a fine sriug Of trout, which they took ashore and left while they tried their luck again. shortly after a bear sro-.od out of the timber and calmly pro ceeded to make a meal of the trout despite the shouts of tho fishermen, who reached the shore too late to rescue even one Of the fish, while bruin made his escape.
 Shortly after the fishermen dis covered another bear on the shore and thirsting for revenge they pro ceeded to the land, and armtag themselves with clubs stole up og the bear and proceeded to admiuis- ter a severe drubbing. In fact i- was so 5overe that lIr. Bear gave up the ghost, and was brought to town as trophy of the prowess Of the fishermen. As the animal was young and tender Logan and Wash and some of their friends have been enjoying bear steaks for the past few days.-Cordova Alaska Times

NOME SENATOR
 ABSENT MINDED

Considerable excitement was stirred up in Skagway on the morn- ing of June 4th over the reported loss by senator Elwood Bruner of Nome, who had arrived on the Al ameda from Seattle the evening be- fore, of his purse containing $40O in currency and drafts for over $500. senator Bruner was a guest at the Pullen House at the time his loss become public. A deligent search cf places where the senator was known to have been the night before was made up to the time of his departure on the train for White horse, but without result.
 The matter of the recovery of the money was left in the hands of Senator J. M. Tanner by his con .rrere and a reward of $50 was offer cd by that gentleman for informa- lion that would lead to the recov- cry Of the amount claimed to have been lost, but there was nothing doing until the arrival in port last night of the Alameda from the Westward, the purser of which boat immediately made known that he had the money on deposit in his safe, it having been placed in his hands for safe-keeping by Senator Bruuer shortly after the vessel left Seattle. The money was turned over 10 lIr. Tanner to forward to it's owner.
 The only way to account for Sena- tor Burners forgetfulness of what he had done with his money is that upon his arrival here he was quite indisposed-in~ fact, the long CT he staid and the more frequently ho left his room at the Pullen House and went down town the more noticeable was his indisposi- ton. It was not thought at the time tha. his memory was affected, but rather that it was a weakness of Eis legs, which at times appeared 10 carry his feet promiscuously over the sidewalk on which he travelled. Appearances are, however, sometimes deceptive, which is fully proven by the experience of the senator from Nome. ...
