some time thereafter tho gold route"

Trail across tho plains, but In 1856 a
railroad was built across the isthmus
and the old route was finally abandon

kindred dangers from tho all-land

Some iimes the California and her

Francisco, and took n whole month in
the passage. 1t was necessary at times
TO pack the passenEers' in rather close

were no serious accidents reported.

VICIOUS BEARS WRECKS
 GLACIER PARK HUT

HELENA, Mont, Dec. 11.-How a giant silver-tipped bear wrecked the interior of the Many Glaciers Hotel in Glacier National Park recently is told in stories brought out by belatad tourists who remained after tie reg ular season had colsed and all places had been shut down.
 Tnis bear had apparently tffedkot a herbaceous diet and started out for change. Finding the hotel closed and no obsequious porter on hand to take his baggage, he tore off a heavy storm door and threw his weight against the inner door, breaking it from it's hinges.
 Then he started to give the place the once over. In doing so he pulled down shelves on which provisions had been stored. Glass jars were broken and their contents scattered around Cups, saucers, plates and other dishes' all suffered the same way. Flour, bac- on and other articles of food were dumped at random.
 In the pantry Bruin found some jars of honey. From these he evidently ate his full, without being able to con sume it all, and he left the rest for another visit. That subsequent visit was his undoing. Curill McGill, watch man of the place discovered the wreck when he came back from a trip to an other part of the park. So he stuck around.
 Lured by the taste of the honey, the bear came back for more. ,McGill was waiting for him and finished him with one well-directed shot

PREACHER SHOWS UP
 PHONY SPIRITUALIST

MARION. Ind, Dec. 11.-A flash light in the hands of Rev. D. L. Wood ward, pastor of the First Baptist Church, disillusioned 30 citizens who were listening to the conversation of alleged Spirits" in North Marion home recently.
 The audience was cautioned at the beginning of the seance not to pro- duce light of any kind, because it would disturb the spirits.
 After the spirits" had talked for some time the Rev Mir. Woodward who was somewhat skeptical, took large flashlight from his pocket, flooded the room with the light, and proved to the audience assembled that the 'spir- it'' was the medium herself, talking through the trumpet. The disap- pointed audience then departed and the medium feigned a swoon, which was soon dispelled.
