IN UNEQUAL FIGHT
Himalayan Bears Foolish Conn.,
bat With Stone.
Like Too Many Members Of the HU
man Race, the Animal Is a Vie
tim OF His Uneonqusrabie
obstinaey.

Most wild animals, IL appears. are
stupid as we'll as greedy and ebsti-
nate. But Tor sheer brainless OBJ
stlnacy in the face of opposition there
is, the best authorities contend, no
animal like the Hlmalayan bear. II
he finds thing in his way he win al
ways push It aside If he can. even
though 1t would be easier to go around
the obstacle.
The willy natives OF India have OBJ
served that trait In his character and
from II have contrlved trap to
catch him. They select a tree with
suitable horizontal bOugh. At point
on the bough about ten or twelve feet
from the fork they fasten a bait like
ly to attract the bear-honey, for ex-
ample, or goats flesh. Then from an
other bOugh above that one they sus-
pend a heavy block of stone. The
rope is so fastened to the upper
bOugh that the stone hangs between
the bait and the fork OF the trees.
The bear scents the bait from a dis
lance, comes to the tree, sees the food
on the bough and climbs up the tree.
Reaching the bough, he walks along 1t
to get at the bait. But suddenly he
notices the obstacle in his way and
pushes it aside with his paw. The
stone swings out of the way for a sec
Ond; then 1t swings back and hits the
bear on the paw. With growl of
irritation the bear pushes 1t aside
more violently. The stone swings
away again; then it returns with
greater force and hits the bear on the
chest.
With a snarl of rage the bear gives
the stone a tremendous thrust and
sends It up into the air in wide
curve. Then down comes the stone In
a similar curve and hits the bear
humping whack on the ribs.
Most animals would desist after
that third blow; not so the bear. He
is now in a perfectly mad rage, and a
bear is a good boxer He hits out
Hith his paws, right and left and
sends the stone hurting forward In
still wider curve. Then, after a few
seconds, the stone comes back and hits
the bear terrific "uppercut" on the
Jaw
But alas the bear never went to
school and learned the law of gravity.
Every blow he hits the stone is re-
turned tenfold. And as the stone has
no brains to be knocked out, 1t Is the
bear that gets knocked out.
Then the willy natives hiding below
rush In with a net and throw ii quick
ly over him. And that Is how any
200" or menagerie gets Its Hama
layan bear.

diately after the rioting started. 10.
seph P. owen, a negro policeman, and
an unidentified negro were fatally
wounded. Owen was shot four times
in the body when he undertook to stop
the trouble.
Whites head was split across the
brow, leading police to believe at
first that he had been struck with an
axe. Later, however, investigation
showed that his skull had been split
by dunn dun bullet.
The Abyssinian Club, negro radi-
cal organization, staged a parade,

groes came a man with the Stars and
Stripes. He was hauled to an auto
mobile. Four negroes seized the flag,
held it over the side of the car and
struck a match to 1t. With the flag
in flames the sailors renewed their
protests and were joined by other
white men.
Several negroes who witnessed the
flag burning ran to poolroom at
Both Street and Indiana Avenue and
asked aid of persons in the place in
preventing the act. Those in the pool
room and a number of negroes pro-
ceeded towards the gathering of the
blacks. They were joined by the ne
gro policeman, Owen. He attempted
to arrest one of the flag-burning ne
groes.
Owen started to search the man for
a weapon when other negroes in the
crowd were reported to have drawn
pistols.
Immediately there was fusillade
Of bullets. Owen went down. Rose,
one Of the sailors, was stabbed and
shot, He was dead when carried from

FEAR CIVIL WAR IN IRELAND
Serious Clashes In Londonderry May
Bring Forth Reprisal in Other
Sections of Country.

Dublin.-Seven were killed in the
fighting at Londonerry June 81. Pools
of blood were found in many places in
the streets. Portions of the skull OF
q man who had been beaten to death
were found. Civil war prevailed.
The Unionists were well provided
with rifles CT the latest types and
With ammunition despite the assur-
ance of the Carsonites that all arms
had been withdrawn.
1t is feared that all Of Ireland soon
will be ablaze with civil war, al
though Republican leaders discounte-
nance threatened reprisals In the

co.oneratIve Law Library.

An interesting experiment In library
cooperation is being worked out In
the Long Beach public library, Long
Beach, Cal. Forty or 30 attorneys Of
the city Of Long Beach have sent law
books from their private Libraries to
the public library for the purpose OF
forming cooperative law library.
Those contributing books in this way
are entitled to take books from the CO
operative library. keeping them for a
period OF five days, and the general
public is allowed TO consult the books
at the library. The books are marked,
LOANED to the Long Beach Public IL
brary." Some of the attorneys join
ing In the plan have each contributed
as many as 200 books to the co-opera-
tive law library. 1t would seem that
this idea might be worked out success
fully In other lines of endeavor, thus
making the resources found in books
available TO the largest possible nuHl-
Der Of people.
