Sensational Legal Contest Between Two Prominent Members of Upper Tendom in the Oream City— Is She Insane? The Carter Divorce Case. Cinreaco, Dec. 1.—(Special Telogram to the Bee.)—There was a big array of bright legal lights waiting for Judge Jamieson to open court this morning. They reprosented both sides of the already famous Carter divorce case. The defendant, Leslic Carter, was not presont in court, but his end ot the fight was upheld by Attorneys Melville E. Fuller, Walker and Locsch, while the complainant was represented by ex-Judges Sidney Smith and Doolittle, Mr. Wirt Dexter and Mr. El- bridge Hanecy. The case came up this morn- ing on & motion to dissolve the injunction re- straining the defendant from interfering with the custody of the child, at present vested in the mother, on the ground of the latter's insanity. Owing to the sensa- tional and extraordinary charges preferred by the wife in the bill of eomplaint and the high social position of theCarters in Chicago, the court was well filled. Judge Smith arose when court opened and promptly filed a cross motion, asking a postponement of the hearing of the defendant's motion, and in support of that application Wirt Dexter read three afidavits, The first was that of the complainant, Louise Carter. She avers that she resided in the family of Dr. Oscar A. King, at Lake Geneva, @ mber of months berore ler bill of complaint was filed and that on November 4 she came to Chicago, filod her bill, and returned {o the family of Dr. King, who was still at Lake Geneva, and remained in_company wi mother and_child until November 1 she went on a t New York and Phil- adelphia on business. When at Philadelphia to sce a friend she was taken into custody by Pinkerton detectives on wcharge of abduc- tion and was kept a, prisoncr until her coun- sel from New York arrived and obtained her release. She was _subjected, she claims, to indignities by the friends of her husband, and was forced to ve her business and return to -ago to unswer the rule of the courts, She ¢ cstored to health and strength of mind, und says that she sleops without the uid of narcotics and_intends to prove this. She further asserts that her hus- nd removed her child for weeks from the ¢ to prevent, her from sceing him. She he wanted to keep the child because she hud learned that her husband intended to keep them apart. She hoped that the argu- ments to dissolve the injunction would be postponed and_said that she would offer ample proof of her ability and sanity. Attorney Wirt Dexter read the affidavit of Mra, Carter's mother, which stated that the hild had always been under the personal care of herself and duughter, She says that while Mrs. Carter was in_Burope for her health in 1886 the child fell ill and the father, who was in Chicago, never came to see him in New York. The sister und ount of Mr. rter, she says, never took good care of the child. Durimg the course of the procecdings as Judge Smith said: “If, your legations in the bill of complaint in the case are true, und we expect to_prove theiv truth, then this man is not a proper party to have the custody of the child or ‘any other human_ being, and 1 assert that, notwithstanding the impudent stare of his brother [here Judge Smith faced about to Ernest Carter, who sat among the defendant’s counscl, and who wore a_ very red face just then, while the flery old luwyer pointed his index finge him], an imé: stare, your lonor, tiat is seemingly fc purpose of intimidation, but it won't da us it may be, the frightful offenses, the crimes with which the defendant stands charged are becoming alarmingly~common, and it will not do for this man to arise and suy: ‘I move in high Your honor, whited sepulchers avery early period—white on the outsides within, filled with dead men’s bones and all uncleantiness.™ After considerable farther discussion the decided that the first question he should hear was that of the sanity of Mrs. Carter, and he fixed next Saturday to hear that phase of the case. The whole affair creatos the greatest sensation in Chicago and sympathy is entirely with Mr. Carter, who has lived here since boyhood and has always been highly re- spectod. DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.

A Geneva, New York of the New York Sun s Orge W. Patterson and Andrew P, Catlin, young farmers in the town of Junius, returned yesterday from a ten days’ hunt ten or twelve miles fram the village of Gizzan, Clearfield county, in northern Pennsyl vania, Mr. Catlin carries his left bro= ken arm in & sling, and his face, sealp, arms and hands are covered with seratches and deep cuts made by the claws of a she bear. His right ear was nearly torn away, and has been sewed to his head. Mr. Pattorsen also boars seratehes and lncerations upon his arms and hand from the same cause. Both men suffer severely from their injuries, Patterson and Catlin had nearly fin- ished their hunting and_ trappin senson in the woods, and Inh'n‘]l‘fi quitting their home in the woods lust Suturday _afternoon. On_ Saturday morning Patterson started off with his gun on his shoulder to take up the fox traps about the forest in which the, were ecamping. Catlin was loft alone at the eamp, and a little later went out for a stroll about the woods, carrying his riflo with him. The morning was pleasant, and finding a recent letter from his wife in his pocket he sat down on a stump to read it again. He had been reading but a fow minutes when he heardjthe sound of snapping twigs upon the ground and rustling of dead leaves, as if some one were clumsily ap- prouching. He carelessly looked up from his letter, and was paralysed to soo ‘I‘ large female bear within 100 feet of him. “I shall never forget how big that bear looked to me at that moment,” soid Farmer Catlin, T never saw a bear outof captivity before. T had read all about their quict ways and how they would avoid a tussle with a man. Now, thought L. here's a chance to astonish Patterson when he comes hack from din- ner. T'll kill that bear in about five seconds, and with that T up and took 1at T thought was the most deliberate aim at old Bruin's head. The aim was poor, for instead of the beast dropping dead she gave a resounding grant and leaped & foot or two in tho air. The Jbullet had taken effect in the b Bl nose and was very painful.

The sensa- tion was dreadful. Perspiration started from every pove. I hadno time to think, but everything flashed through my mind. I had nothing about me buta long and very sharp two-edged dirk knife with wilich to defend myself, and there was that infuriated and hungry, powerful bear almost upon me. 1 reached for my knife and it drew from its sheath, and at the same moment run- ning forward a few feet to strike as pow- erful blow as possible with my weapon. The beast struck against my leg. nearly fell to the ground. [ turn in my haste I gave the animal a cut across the back. At that the be: turned upon me more fiercely than ever. T had got upon my feet, and the bear struck me u powerful blow upon the breast. If I had not been prepared for I would have fallen bencath the I was then more than cver It scemed asif that was my last day on carth. The next move I made was to attempt_ to put my long knife into bruin’s hreast. My body, however, was so close 1o that of the bear that the knife blade struck too closely to the beast’s shoulder to do any injury. Old Bruin was more enraged than ever, and dealt me a blow with one of her great paws that scemed like a sledge hammer, on my broust. I fell backward upon the ground. I thought then I was surely a goner. In an ingtant the animal was upon me again with her fore paws, and I reach- ing up gave her a great slash across the breast, from which great quantities of hot blood pgured down upon me. Then we had a elose eml , during which my face and hands, us you see, were so t bly scratched and torn. I fought like a demon and managed to keep the bear's awful jaws from closing upon me. 1 did not fear any severe hugs from the animal. I don’t’ know how-1 did it, but I managed to hold on to my knife, with which [ had given the old bear three \p digs and at the same time to grhsp her about the ist. Then we rolled over twice, during which my heavy clothing vly torn off and my le; were terri ited by the bear's hind paws, and I still warded off those fatal jaws and hugs, My strength was beginninng to fail, and [ realized that 1 could not contirue at this rate mueh longer.
