STEWART, A Doctor’s Bill of $06,000, Georgo G. Sickles, the father of Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, and of the bride in a recent marriage which caused talk, was sued in the court of common pleas yes- terday for a doctor's bill of §6,000, The suit was brought by Dr. James H. Spann who testified that he had been in almost constant attendance on the defendant for two months; that he had performed a dangerous operation and that he consid- ered his services worth the amount claimed by him, This was corroborated to some extent by Dr. Carnochan and two other physicians, On tho part of the defence Prof Keyes testified to having been consult- ing surgeon in the case. His bill, he said, was §700, which, he said was paid promptly. Mr, Slckles then testified, Being somewhat deaf his counsel had to shout the questions loudly, and Mr, Sickles shouted quite as loudly in res- ponse. Mr, Sickle said that Dz, Spann attended him simply as a nurse; the doctor woled sometimes come into his room in the morning and ask how he was; would sometimes assist in carrying him on & bed from one room to another and sometimes at night would come in with a key, look at him and say nothing. “‘Have you ever had much experience with doctora?’ he was asked. “No,” he replied, with an air of dis- gust, ‘“‘except within the past three years. I avoided them as much as pos- sible.” “You are a lawyer?"’ asked the counsel, cautiously. “'Yes, and a docter, too,” replied Mr. Sickles, with another explosion of wrath, “When thirty doctors gave “I object,” sald the opposing counsel, and Mr. Sickles’ interesting reminiscence was cut short, ‘Do you believe this bill to be just and reasonable?” “I believed it to be neither reasonable nor just,” putting enough emvuhasis on his words to make up for the previous disappointment. “‘Did you swear when a bill for £3,000 was presented to you in this case?!” asked the lawyer, mildly, “‘Iam not much {n the habit of swear- ing," retorted Mr. Sickles in a low voice. “Do you ever swear!” continued the lawyer, thinking it a good lead. netimes very hard,” roared Mr, Sickles with startling suddenness. The audience lsughed. Then the sage of Naseau street hobbled from the witness chair to the side of his wife, and, throw- ing his arm around her, med eatisfied his performance. 2 jury gave a verdict in favor of the phaintiff’ for &: IAD YOUN A 7 CoMPANY Tye Vorrao Be Michigan, offe TRIC VOLTAIC PLIANCES on trial for thirty days, TREED BY A GRIZZLY, Hunting for Big Game in Wyoming, Atriving at Rawlina at 4 o'clock on a frosty morning in September, writes a correspondent trom Wyoming Terrltory in the Cincinnatti Commercial-Gazetto, wo proceceded to the Grand Palace hotel for rest and refreshment before centinu- ing our journey. Unfortunately for us, not expecting the arrival of guests at this time of day or night, we reached the building just after the bar-keeper had expelled the last of his fragrant custom- ers and closed for the night. Not being up in the vernacular of the country, we did not succeed in gaining admittance at once, While looking around in despalr, I caught sight of a whiskey barrel surmounted by what seomed to my sleopy eyes a half filled meal-sack. *‘Casting my anchor to the windwaed” of this, thinking to find there a resting place for my weary bones, I was suddenly confronted, to my dismay, by the cold, glistening muzzle of a Colt revolver, accompanied by a voice in nasal tones: ‘‘Wal, stranger, when you scar up a grizaly, take my advice and gie 'im & wide berth, and when yer fall foul of a Wyo- ming cow-rancher you'd better count sudden. I've got the drop on yer.” I answered: *“*You bet your sweet life, stranger, T'muno kid,” which reply in his own lingo, so far mollified him that he ofiered me a seat beside and a chaw from his **Jeemes River.” Iresponded to these clvilities witha flask of mountaln dew, which so warmed the cockles of his heart that we soon fell into amicable conversation- “Whar d'yer come from? When d’ye git in? Come to settle?"—tilted up the tlask again. **Wal, I reckun yur'd bet ter settle. Yur the right sort; you ain't like them two young tenderfuts from yur parts, wuz here comin’ on three Weoks, . They wuz the ornerest critturs ever 1 see. Why, stranger, one couldn't ride a broncho with a fat on the ground, and "tothor —wal, ho wuz a regular down: right masher—with his Galway slugs and specs on his nose; he wur a sight to see. Wal, nothing would satisfy these here kids but they must hov a grizzly, so they tackled me one morning, ‘if there wuz any grizzlies in these here parts,’a-look- in’ out to westward, as if they sniffed 'un in the air. ‘Wal, I says, says I, I reck'n; I've seed a putty considerabie of the grizzly bar in my time. 1f them thur chaps who writes about all sorts o’ var- mint hed seed as much o’ the grizzly as I hev, they mout a gin & hLul book con- sarnin’ the crittur. If I hed a plug o’ bacea fur every grizzly I'vy rubbed out, it ud keep my jaws waggin' fura good twel-month, "I reck’n. Ye-es, stranger, I hev done some bar killin,’ I hey."” He paused a moment for refreshment, and then, with a ‘‘Wal, stranger, as I wuza sayin’,” he forthwith commenced the following thrilling tale about my two fellow-citizons, in his own peculiar lan- guage, which 1 shall not attempt to ro- tail: After a long day's hunting, during which they had tried their luck success- ively. but unsuccessfully, with a number of the sage-hen, antelope, jackass rabbit, coyote, snipe, and sand-hill crane, in which this great country with its wond- erful growth of sage brush abounds, the three friends came upon a pretty valley nestling among the mountains, and boast- ing of a stream of running water and a drove of quacking asp and cottonwood trees. Here they made their camp and built their fire,, and sitting around trled to forget the pangs of hunger in the beauty of the scene and the consumption of a scant repast of dried apples and hard tack. Drowsiness av last came to their assistance; 8o, selecting the branches of a large, quaking asp for their canopy, they stretched themselves out upon the ground within a few foet of each other in (ry dry camp,” and were soon dreaming of all the suppers they had had, little thinking of the breakfast they were about to furnish, Long John, as they dubbed the tall stranger, was the first one roused. Some- thing cold and clammy touched his fore- head, and pressing upon his hot skin awoke him at once. Was it a snake that had touched him? No! it was a bear and, horror of horrors, a grizzly—its hot breath fanning his cheek, and its villain- ous cyes glaring upon him, His cry of dismay roused the camp at once, and even startled the bear. The old veteran taking in the horrors of the situation, in- stantly, rose to the occasion, and was up the tree in the twinkling of an eye. Long John, with the heroic presence of mind, dropped his gun and made for a lower branch, while Hal, having lost his glassos in the oxcitement, went groping around, exclaiming: “‘Show me a tree, somebody, quick.” Not a moment was to be lost. Long John lowered his legs before the dimmed vision of his companion—they were grasped convulsively and Hal was lifted beyond the reach cf the of the infuriated animal, who, deprived of her meal, took ap her position as sentry under the tree growling furiously as she marched around, and making vicious snaps at the missing glasses which, the guard peing ontanglod with the creature's mighty claws, were being dragged over the grass greatly adding to the anguish of one of the captives. ““Treed, by jingo.” said Long [John, ““What's to be done!” “Stay jwhar yer and wait a bit,” an- swered the veteran, “‘Well, I'll be darned if I stay here long,” answered Ling John, as the bear reared up on its hind legs, and mado a dive at his feet, dangling from the branches, An hour then passed in sad silonce, but brought no relief. The three men were stiil perched on the tree, and the ono bear was waiting patiently belew. Tho sun rose gloriously from behind the distant peaks, dispelling the valloy mists and opening up a beautiful day, It might be their last. This thought over- camo them, Mustering all his strength Long John made a bold leap for freedom his rifle—but his enemy was too quick for him, and he was obliged to scramble nomincusly up the tree without the much needed weapon, I reckon I wouldn't try that again,” remarked the veteran, sententiously. = And then a long depressing silence followed, broken only by the “‘yum-yum” of the bear or the ries of the sage hens in the distance. Tho hours dragged slowly on and hops began to give way to dispair. They were suffering ogonios from their con- strained position, as they sat straddling the boughs. They were perishing with hunger and choking with thirst, but all this was slight compared to their mental torments, as their awful poeition began to dawn upon them and & certain and ' [fearful death stared them in the face.
