KODIAK EXPLORER SAYS
 THAT BROWN BEAR lS
 USUALLY -NATURED

Although Fred A. Henton, kodlak Island guide and explorer, never shoots any of the world famous brown bears of his homeland, he sometimes wishes the bears were always in the same frame of mind about this conflict business!
 "You know that the Kodiak brown bear is the largest member of the bruin family" Henton said recently to the Seattle Times. And while most of these bears are good natured enough to run away, occa- sionally you encounter bad-tem- pered one. I recall a recent incl dent in which it was fortunate TOT me that the bear belonged to the more sociable group. I was riding up deep ravine, when my horse suddenly snorted md strained backwards.

CALHOUN CASE
M|STR|AL PLEA
To Be DENIED
2 Lawyers Withdraw From
Mrs. HiIIenbrand's Defense;
Mrs. Noble Sobs in Court

Important developments to-
day, marked by the withdrawal
of two attorneys, a motion for a

Defense Attorney Richard L. Mer-

defendant, and announced that

have conducted the defense of
Mrs. Anna M. Hillenbrand, arose
and asked the court for permis-

refusal of Mrs. Hillenbrand to

The movement for a Demo

state where the primary is not
now held, received added ini'
petus today as the full effect OF
President Hoover's order permit
ting Federal employees to partici

litical offices became generally
known.
The order, which was issued by
the President after a study OF
the matter had been made by
the Civil Service Commission,
was the result Of a long cam
paign on the part Of the Airing
on County Civic Federation.
To Run For Office
The result will be that a mum
ber of Federal employees who
have had their eyes set upon
certain local offices for some
time will now be able to an
nounced their candidacy.
The local offices. however
must not interfere with the EN-
ploye's work for the Federal
Government, nor must the en
ploye engage in state or national
political activities.
This will mean that the ma.
jority Of candidates for local
office who also are Federal EN-.
ployeS will run for the office
of county commissioner, of which
there will be five under the new
form of government to go into
effect in January, 1882.
The order, however, does not
prevent Federal employees from
announcing their candidacy for
full-time offices, such as Sher.
iff or Commemorative attorney
and in the event of their election,
giving up their Federal job.
Clements for Sheriff
This phase. of the matter may
bring another candidate into the
sheriff's race, for it is generally

former sheriff, is considering en-.
