SPgRTSMEN
 OBTAIN FIVE BEARS
 WEST TWARD DISTRICT

Bringing the Kodiak bear hunt ing season to climatic close, Frank Edson and Roger Edson of Greenwich, Conn, with J. M. Mackie of New York City ar rived in this port yesterday after 19 days in the wilds, bringing five bearskin trophies, two of them almost in the record break ing class, being 10 feet in length. Highly elated the wealthy sports men departed for Seattle on the Admiral Evans.
 The party left nearly three weeks ago under the charge of Charles Madsen, field manager of the Kodiak Guides, Inc, with J. w. Walker as assistant guide. There were two other members of the expedition acting as pack CTS and cooks.
 They first went to Afognak but aside from general sport with seals and ducks and fish they found no good bear shooting and after a week proceeded to Karluk lake country on the west side ot Kodiak where the five bear were finally bagged. They encountered plenty of bad weather but the
 
 young men were all-around sportmen and expressed them selves as having had the time of their lives with the variety ot shooting and the catching ot the finest trout they had ever seen. Their two biggest 'pelts are fine skins and will richly ad- orn their trophy rooms they said as they began making tentative plans for the return trip next season.

ment that drew them to her home.
This social success. however, was

way At the home Of the Chlopowskis
In Bodina. where a small theatrical
and literary coteris gathered about
the delightful host and hostess. and
continued when an engagement at
the Imperial Theatre in Warsaw
enabled them to set UP a home in
that city.
Modjeska's success here was i'm
mediate. and might have continued
indefinitely. But after a period of
seven years. she became dissatisfied
with the iealousies and constant dis.
ssnsion at the Imperial. She longed
for the freedom and peace Of a new
country. and accordingly she and

set sail for America where. Journey.

brought her TO New York, where
success was metoric. Her forte was

she went to live in California. where
she died In 1909.
