Mrs. Katharine Tingley, head of the Universal Brotherhood, bas brought suft against the Times-Mirror company of Los Angeles. The sensational turn was given in a deposition by Louls Fitch of Hartford, Conn., who sald he was employed as a bookkeeper by the Universal Brotherhood, of which he became a member and had privileges accorded to few others. Mrs. Tingley, he added, was considered a prophet in line of succession dating back to Budda, Christ and Mahomet. She told deponent that marriage relations as known to ‘the world were wholly false and per- verted and that people who lived at Point Loma would finally reach a stage where weddings would not be necessary. The pledge of the order bound members to obey the leaders in all things and the sole leader was Katharine Tingley. Mrs. Tingley had control over everybody and everything. She sald where every member should lodge, what they should eat, when they should eat it, whom they should hava conversation with and even designated those who were not to be looked at. Mrs. Tingley had a dog named “Spot' and told him that “Spot” was a great deal more than & pet. “I belleve I know,” she eald, “that Mr. Judge's spirit entered Into ‘Spot’ at his death. Mr. Judge gave ‘Spot’ to me at the time of his death and at the time I as- sumed leadership of the Universal Bro‘her- hood as his successor Mrs. Tingley even supervised the inter- course of members of the same family. Thue she would not allow a Mr. and M Hanson to speak with thelr own children. Fitch then described some of the cere- monfes performed In connection with the order. The customs prescribed for all meetings and gatherings, except the Sunday morn- ing services, consisted of a cheese-cloth garment without sleeves, belted with a cord about the walst. This was to be worn over under clothing only and no starched clothing was permitted. Mrs. Tingley, he went on to worker, and t leader, ay, was a t although her title was she was frequently addressed as uerple”” by her official cabinet and often- times as “P" and “mother” until she re- quested that the latter be stopped.

He was held for trial under $500 bonds. The complaint against Campbell con- tained two counts for burglary, while there are six more pending, anotber new case having been brought to light against him since his arrest. Campbell did not appear to be much disconcerted when he was brought to face the charges and to the observer he seemed relieved when the court had concluded the hearing. With the arrest of Campbell comes a against the prisoner.

HILL WANTS NQ. MORE LAWS SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 20.—James J. Hill and his party, Including Mr. Harris president of the Burlington, left this after- noon for the east and will arrive in St. Paul for Christmas. After the first of ths year Mr. Hill announces that he will take a trip to Burope for a rest. In diecussing politics he sald the Great Northern was not in politics in this or any other state, and would not be 80 long as he could prevent it. The passage of a railroad commission bill in this state, he said, would retard some of the plans ne had for the develop- ment of trade. The fight now was for Seattle to handle transpacific trade acous- tomed to the Suez canal. He did not an- ticipate a financial depression, but believed that while there was a tight money mar- ket It was prudent business foresight to prepare for any financlal condition that might come in the near future.

Somewhere In the forest region that ex- tends from Cogan House township, Lycom- ing county, to the Black Forest, in the southe: rn part of Potter county, reports the Philadelphia Record, there fs roaming | 'these days a big black bear with a forty- pound steel trap and a ten-foot chain at- tached to his leg. This bear broke away with one of Joseph Hopkins' traps, near Brookside, about a week ago, and the last heard of the shackled beast was up in the Slate run region, over thirty miles from Brookside. For two days | & party of four hunters chased the fugutive | bear and once one of the men saw bruin shambling along and out of rifle rang ‘Though handicapped by the weight of the trap and the long dangling chain, the bear ‘was evidently able to travel faster than | ‘were the men, for the fact that he wi seen in the upper S| days after his e yet able to get over territory lively. The bear 18 sald to be as large as a year- ling heifer. It had been preying on Farmer | Hopkins' sheep and pigs for a month before it allowed itself to be inveigled into the trap, and it was probal'y his desire for a change of diet that resulted in his downfall. | Hopkins hung a calf's head elght feet above | the ground, beneath which the largest of his | Jaw-tooth traps was hidden, Next morning the calf's head was there, but the trap was gone. The captive bear | must have set himself free, for the chain | had been unfastened from Its circle around & log.

Old hunters are eagerly discussing the probable fate of the shackled bear. Most of them think that he will keep on going and golng, toting his heavy load with him until | he worrles and starves himself to death, unless somebody chances to shoot him, and even then the meat would be inferior, for a bear soon lo: his plumpness and the flesh becomes dry and tasteless in captivity. Other backwoodsmen who know something of the habits of bears say that this bear will return to his quarters that he occu- pled last winter and will there awalt the natural process of mortification of the im- prisoned foot to be freed from the trap: that the leg will then heal up and a thres footed bear will be seen next season. Crip- pled In that manner the bear could get around lively enough and over a small terri- tory, but he could never agalin join the hik- ing forays of his companions, When seen in the Blate run region the bear was shambling along an old log road, going In the direction of the heart of the Black forest—that Bden of black bears and catamounts. Two unarmed woodsmen saw him. They were first attracted fo him by the rattling of the chain as it dropped along over the rocks, and, hiding in the thicket along the roadside, they were within ten yards of the bear when it passed and they had a good chance to see him. The men say that he had a most forlorn look on his face, as though worried, weary and dis- heartened. He half jerked, half dragged the heavy trap along, but when one of the men yelled at the top of his voice the poor beast broke Into a dogged run, as though yet determined to escape any further tor- ment at the hands of man. Like some derelict on the ocean this shackled bear will probably wander alm- lessly and sadly among the ravines of the Black forest, to be seen mow and them by hunters, serving to add zest to-the fireside | stories In camps or affording material for yarns at the village store.
