NEVADA, Oct. 18.—Tim Dolan of Sierra | County, in' company with Charles York, a well-known San Francisco man who is vieiting Sierra County, went out on the hills to round up his cattle. Arriving at the summit of a ridge just west of the city of 8ix, Tim left his horse and made ! the steep descent into a ravine on foot, hoping to discover some lost cattle. The ccuntry there is covered with a denss (growth of underbrush and close scrutiny ! 1s necessary to avold overlooking animals. Hearing a noise in the brush not far dietant, Tim worked his way through the bushes in that direction and suddenly came upon an immense grizzly bear. Tim frequently encountéred animals of this specles and was not at all discon. | verted. He threw up his hands and yelled @t the bear, expecting as usual that he would take fright and decamp. Bruin gave an ugly growl and made for Fim, and Tim made for the nearest tree, | which, fortunately, was only a short dis- tance away, but even then, had it not been for Tim's dog, who distracted the bear's attention for a moment by attack- | ing him in the rear, Tim would never have reached the tree. Tim was barely out of the bear's reach when the animal stood on his hind legs and reached up with paws toward him. The bear made no ef- fort to climb, being kept occupied most of the time in defending himself against the attacks of Tim’s plucky canine. Meantime York had remained further up the hill, awaiting Tim's return. He finally heard Tim call to him, saying, ‘““There is a h— of a big bear down here.” | York, saw the top of the tree swaying above the underbrush and- immediately concluded that Tim had the bear treed, so | he loft his horse and rushed down the hill. | Arriving 2t the scene he found himselt, | to his consternation, face to face with the bear, and two seconds. later he was roost- | ing in a neighboring tree, narrowly escap- | ing capture by the fierce animal, which | now transferred its attentions from Do- lan {0 York, the dog continuing its at- | tacks. York was wondering how long his | | S8an Francisco job would wait for him, as he only had six weeks' vacation. | | At length, however, the bear apparently | became disgusted and took to the brush, disappearing over a low ridge nearby. | About this-time the two men conciuded | it was safe to come down and the bea; {came back. These tactics he repeate | several times and it was not until he had | been gone some time that Dolan and York | dared to come off their perches. When | | they did so, after having been in the trees for over an hour, they lost no time | in getting to their horses and thence out | of the neighborhood. | ;MANY PEOPLE ASSIST UNFORTUNATE TROOPER | | Number of Mxlitary Organizations Give Exhibition Drills Before a Large Audience.

Hardly believing what he had read, | he hurried to the Morgue and wept over the body his girl. When he had learned | from Annie’'s cousin, Mrs. E. Redmond, of | 67% Natoma street, the story of Lannon's per‘l-]y, he vowed that he would kill the betrayer of his child. LANNON TREMBLES WITH FEAR. During the proceedings Mr. Kessler sat in a chair facing the Coroner and while, Tout Lannon was on the stand telling ¢f his relations with Annie, the father's frame quivered with emotion. His clenched right hand was sunk in his coat pocket and Policeman Thomas Wren, standing behind his chalr, caught him suddenly by the wrist and searched the pocket for a deadly weapon. Only a handkerchief was found, but Lannon, who saw the proceeding, trembled with fear. Lannon said that he had been keeping company with Annie about four months and that they néver quarreled until last Sunday, when they disagreed about what he termed a trifling matter. At this stage of the inquest Louls Kess- ler rose suddenly to his feet, and pointing his finger at Lannon, shouted, “Yes, you a man of 30, took my daughter to Mount Tamalpais, she a girl of 15. I leave it to the.jury to say what they think of you.” Deputy Coroner McCormick quieted the | irate- father. Lannon in reply to ques- tions by Coroner Leland said that he and | Annie and- another couple had gone to Mount Tamalpals on Saturday, October 11, and passed the night in the hotel on the summit. But he denied that anything im- proper had taken place. He added that on the next day, Sunday, the girl had a quarrel with him. On Tuesday evening he told her that if they couldn’t agree they would better separate. On Thur: day night he took another girl to the Chutes and met Annie Kessler and Lillie ‘Whalen there. Annie called him aside and asked him whether he did not intend to keep company with her any more, and he told her that after what she had said to him on Sunday night the best thing for them to do would be to part. He de- nied that he had ever promised the girl to marry her and asserted that he thought she wanted to get rid of him in favor of “a red-headed fellow In Hayes Valley,” with whom- she had previously kept company. HIS PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. Mrs. E. Redmond of Natoma street, | a cousin of the dead girl, threw a flood of light upon the relatfons of Lannon and Aniile. “Annie, the witness said, told her on. several occasions that she and Lan- non were engaged to be marrfed and showed a silk skirt, a pair of shoes, an imitation diamond ring and other articles that she said Lannon had bought her. ‘Annie told her cousin last Sunday that she had passed the night on Mount Tamalpais with “Tony,” as she called Lannon, and “Bill”” and another girl. “She was tickled to death over the ring and her ‘engagement,” ” sald Mrs. Red- mond. Mrs. Barlow. a lodger at 131§ Fillmore street, testified that for two weeks prior to Annie's death the girl was very de- spondent and said that she could not eat anything. The witness joked with her on the folly of fretting over a love affair, but the girl denied that sne was in Jove. Similar testimony was given by Annie’'s employer, Miss E., Mulford. She testified that the girl was ecrying and would not eat, but would not tell her what'was the matter. The jury returned “the following ver- t: dl?’rhe-aixry finds In this case that this girl was evidently led astray by Joseph Lannon, who is.employed at the race track. As the girl is under 1§ years of age, we recommend that he be prosecuted for the crime.” The Chief of Police gave orders that Lannon..should be arrested and an of« ficer was dispatched to find him. Lannon was arrested last night on East street and locked up in the City Prison. P — -~ Dies Alone and Unattended.
