feet to a more" convenient level -
Qfliust the Cottonwood under whicCt
we were sitting in front I of Hilly -
uawson s store at ;,San Warcial, iu
southern Nety IMcxico. Jim was ou
bid-timer, havincome toj New Mex
ico with a bull team thirty years
back, and what he didn't know about
fighting Apaches and hunting bears
wasn worth knowing.
' "About, five years ago," lie .said,
'I bad a bunch of ratlin rvor in"Arw
iunj seven ty or eighty
miles north or Silver City. purinK
our first two months there! wc beard
from various ixirtics who had eatjtle
near us hat bears were very plenli- :
f ul, and that one o!4 grizaly had run
three or Tour outfits, all of them
having failed to kill hef,lthougb i
they had shot her several iimcsr The
amount of lead a grizzly will take!
into his anatomy without serious re
. " i m
sults is simply wonder fuU I ' have
seen an old fellow fairly filled with
lead and still bo in fighting trim.
"Well, Although we had heard
considerable about bears, wc had
been there some time before any ol
our outfit got sight of one. At last, j
one day, two of my men and a boy
had gone out to look for some steers
that had strayed away. Their route
led them through a" rough foot-hill
country, and took them farther from
camp than usual. The ; boy, whe
was a little jchap only about twelve
yeara old, was the son of a friend,
and had been brought into the tnounr
tains for his health. He was riding
on a mule and was a little distance
ahead of the men when he suddenly
ran on to a big grizzly among the
scrub oak. The instant the mule
sighted the bear he bolted- down the
slope, to the left, throwing the boy
off, and the animal started for him.
The men had come up by j this time.,
and while one .opened fire on him
with a six-shooter the other rushed
in, and, stooping over, caught the
Lboy up in front of htm; none tool
soon, ptther, for the bear was within
ten feet of the boy. ; It proved to be
an old she grizzly, and the men fired
at her seven or eight times without
effect. '
"yhcn I heard of It that night T
said I would have' that beat if it
took a month, but as we were busy
at that time I did not get started for
nearly a week. However, I got off
at last, one crisp, frosty morning
this was early in November a
time of the year when everything is
looking its best in that country.
Never been, in the mountains in the
fall, oh? Well, you have missed a
whole lot, then. Why, the breath of
the pines and pinions up there just
puts new life into a man, to say
nothing of the beauty of the "scen
ery and the pleasure of the open-air
life.
"There had been several" frosts
and the gentle breeze that crept
down from the! higher land " that
morning rustled through the fiery
scrub oak and yellow quaking asps
in the pleasantpst way imaginable,
vhile underfoot was a soft carpet of
dry pine grass. I traveled through
the foot hills fully twelve miles, en
tirely past the place where the boy
had "fallen off, without seeing the
sign of a bear. As I had gone! along
slowly it was noon by that time,, so
I picketed my horse to graze, ate my
lunch, ami alter an uour
started back for camp.
The attcr-
noon had turned cloudy, with the
air chilly and damp just the time
for bear, as such an f afternoon would
likely bring them dowu to the lower
ridges to feed on acorns, of which,
there was a large crop. The bear-is
very fond of acorns and will wander,
a long way from his sleeping place
to feed on them. The little spurs or
foot-hills that jutted out from the
ranire were covered with: a heavy

tysure that I would find something;

horse, I let drive at one of them, aim

less time than I can-tell it.
"When the bear received my shot,
which was,vufortunatelyr too low,
striking him in the shoulder, he evi

tbefother bear had struck him, for
he hauled off and gave it a most ter
rific blow, knocking it some twenty

Hmnd reasons, for objecting .to hia;
presence. .-
His fall was broken by a peasant
passing under the window at th
tin?i who received on his head tha-
full weight of the prince's body, be-?
ing nearly crushed thereby. Law
suits followed. ...-
One of them was that of the peaaJ
ant, who sued th6 f)ri nee f6r damage)
inflicteir'by falling upon hi'm.V,Tbe
prince, in turn, summoned the mer
chant for having thrown him out of
his window. !
The judges experienced consider
able difficulty in coming to a; ae1'
cision in the cases: It was manifest -j
that the moujik.was entitled, to dam
ages for having been half crushed by
the falling prince. On the other
hand, it was hard to make the latter
responsible for the result of his
journey through the air, which he
had certainly- Undertaken,, ..much
against his, will. , ,
' At the same time it was difficult
to blame the husband for turning
the prince out of his house in the
drastic manner above described.:
After much deliberation, the
courts finally determined to make
the merchant responsible for the
damages, basing their decision on a
ukase of Czar Paul I
bearing 'the
date of 179D:
"Every man has a right to throw
out of the window into the, street ,
anv useless piece of furniturevlhat
may happen, to bb"ih his house, pro
viding that he t&kes the precaution .
to call out three times" beforehand
to tlie passerby: 'Take carclVfailing
which he is . liable ,to a municipal
fine of twenty -five 'roubles, 'and is
financially respohsiblc'"f6r any- acci
dent which his negligence may have
occasioned." , ..:: ,.
The court held that the prince, at
the time of his summary ejectment
was a "useless and .superfluous piece
of furniture" in1 the house of the
merchant, but that the-' latter had
failed before throwing . the. prince
out of the. window to warn, the
pedestrians below, as required by
law.
Accordingly, the court condemned
the merchant to pay the fine off
twenty-five .roubles. .and four. thou:
sand roubles damages to. the peas
ant, besides the costs.

Herr Randhartinger and Modem Muik
The death of BenedictBaudhartin-
ger. the veteran Austrian musician,
is a reminder of how new a thlniv
modern music is. When he was born
in 1802, Josef Haydn, the father oK
the symphony, had still seven years
to live, and when Haydn was born in
1722, Johann Sebastian Bach was in
tbe midsLof hi creative work. These
L three men ioin hands across the
whole history of modern instru
mental music and it is startling to
reflect that this musician who has
just passed away must have talked
with men yi ho could remember Bach.
Herr Randhartinger-.was a school
fellow of Schubert and a teacher of
Liszt, , and one of "the most widely
known musicians- In Austria.

bear, started forme and I opened on

it three times in the throat and once

and she was within forty feet of mo .
