Killed by a Courage- ous Matron of Mendocino BULLET IN BRUIN'S HEART 'Three Residents of Christine Become Heroines of the Lo- cality After Exploit in Woods s L L Special Dispatch to The Call. SANTA ROSA, Jan. 23—Mrs. E. H. Irish, Miss Willie Moore and Miss Min- nie Bloyd, women of Christine, Mendo- cino County, have suddenly become heroines in the region by the killing | of a large bear. Bears have been making inroads on the flocks near Christine for some time, and a large log trap was baited and set | for the beasts. While out walking yes- terday afternoon, Mrs. Irish carried a rifle. She and her companions strolled in the vicinity of the trap and found | bruin a captive. The animal had eaten through the end of the trap and had | succeeded in getting his head and | | shoulders out. Being afrald the bear | would gain his liberty before masculine aid could be summoned the women de- | termined to slay the beast. Mrs. Irish | fired several shots, but owing to the | small caliber of the rifle failed to kill | the bear. The beast desperately charged side of the trap, but the women did become frightened and faint. They cured a large pole and inserted it { tween the logd to keep the bear in strong end of the trap. Mrs. Irish then | fired four bullets at the beast, none of which found a vital spot, but all served to enrage it. While two of the women | awaited a favorable opportunity and | sent a bullet jnto the animal's heart. The bear weighed 300 pounds dressed. | The skin is being tanned to make a rug for the home of Mrs. Irish. —————— Farewell Bachelor Dinner. J. C. Wilson was host at a farewell .dinner at- the Bohemian Club last night. Mr. Wilson, who is to wed Miss Mabel Cluff on February 10, in- vited a few of his closest friends to spend one more evening with him be- fore he joins the ranks of the bene- dicts. An excellent menu had been arranged and speeches combining wit, philosophy and the usual good advice were delivered. The occasion was a most joyous one, but the gathering broke up early in the evening, as many of those present had previous engage- ments for other social functions. —_——— Lumber Wagon Demolished. A lumber wagon driven by John Remiro was struck by an engine at Eighteenth and Illinois streets yester- | day afternoon and completely demol- |ished. The horses and driver escaped | without injury. The accident was| | caused by the inability of the driver to | check his team on the steep down | grade. ————— | Falls From a Car. Charles Moore, a laundryman re- siding at 940 Harvard street, fell from | a car at Eighth and Harvard streets | | yesterday afternoon and, when ex- amined at the hospital, it was found | that he was suffering from concussion of the brain. He will probably re- | cover. | ————— The Morning Waker. A writer in Scribner’s Magazine has been much surprised by finding a sign in a Dutch town: “L. Y. D. Zwaan, | Morgen Wekker,” which is Dutch for | “morning waker.” But this is an in- | ‘dustry common in the districts where London workingmen live, and six- | pence a week from each client is the | usual “waker's wage.” All over Lon- don, too, policemen make a little extra in waking those whose work calls! them early. Only a few nights—or | rather mornings—ago the present | writer found in South Kensington a | constable climbering suspiciously on toa wall. There he caught the end of | a rope and pulled till an answering | shout was heard. The constable ex- | plained that the other end of the rope | was affixed to the baker's bed clothes. | And as the writer went home to bed | his baker arose to bake the writer’s | breakfast roll.—London Daily Chron- | icle. e Last year’s reports from the .56,000 postoffices in.the German empire show | a decrease of 200,000 in the number of letter cards sold ADVERTISEMENTS.
