Bears Kill Hogs
~Near Pineville
(Special Correspondent)
Ten large bears wandered orer to
C. M. Jackson's plaoe near Pinerllle
last week and played havoc with a
number of hogs belonging to Mr
Jsckeon, of that Tillage. They
chewed, olawed and scratched the
animals to such an extent that they
inflicted permanent injuries upor
them. They vsOuld probably hare
killed all of them tf Altxst Woolard,
C. M. Jackson and others had not
appearsd on the scene and frighten
ed away the disturbers with several
rounds of No. 4 shot. Before run
sing away, howswe, the bears made
S charge on the men and for a mo
ment there was considerable scurry
Hi find climbing of trees. Finally
tbS bears dlsappesrsd in the woods
One of the hogs has died end It is
feared that some of the others may
slso- keel over.
Tf the stock law would only fence
ths bears out, ws wondsr if It would
be appreciated or not. Which is the
worst, tiels, bears or politics?

SOLVES "MYSTERY"
Fteda PMkase on Train, (her a
HxmijuukI MOe> From Here, Bear
ing Label of Local Merchant.
-v, Th? adventures of Wash i as ton
tourist? to the Panama exposition
should make Interesting reading?
tf letters received from J. 0. Bragaw
Jr., are a fair example of the many
4 nt erect tog Incidents that local resi
dents are meeting with on their long
trip.
Mr. Bragaw left here several
reeks wBgo and his letters to rela
tive? and friends here are replete
with diverting end amusing accounts
of his "adventures."
8 o mew h ere weet of Chicago, Mr.
Bragaw happened to be walking
through the cars of the train on
which he was on, when he suddenly
came across an empty seat, on
which reposed a good-sized package.
His eye? happened to catch the print
ing on the package. It read "Try
J. K. Hoyt first: Washington's
Greatest Store." For a mlnnte
two Mr. Bragaw Imagined that he
had gotten on the wrong train and
wm bound for Kome a^aln. He
naturally was dealrons of knowing
bow this package, evidently coming
from a Washington merchant, had
found its Way on a train many hun
dreds of mile? from home. Ho
waited for a moment or two and
,then a lady rame through the ca*
and took the seat on which the
package lay. "far. Bragaw fhought
she looked rather familiar, but was
unablo to place her name In hie
mind. Finally he introduced him
self to her in the hopes oT exp>aln-v
f Tnf am mywtearr of the package. The
lady was Mrs. C. N. Sheep, of this
city, who was on her way to North
j T akota to visit relatives.
! Another letter, received by Wil
liam Bragaw recently, stated that
Mr. Bragaw had arrived safely dn
Fan Francisco. In describing the
hotel In which be was staying, Mr
Bragaw went into minute details as
jlo the solendor of the building,
part of his letter read as follows
"Everybody dresses for the din
ner. The men all wear dress suits
-??rd the ladles,?well, tke ladlp
don't wear much of anything."
Mr. Bragaw stat^j that he Is en
loying the trip Immensely and that
I ?h? wonders of the exposition be
I little any description he might
I make of them.
