A New Uear Story j
Jim Underhill, of Boyd, paid a friendly
visit to the Chbonicle sanctum yester
day and in the course of pleasant con
versation something was said about a
bear when Jim asked the Ciiuoxicle
mn if he had ever heard of the adven
tme he had with a bear one time. The
scribe modestly replied that he had not
had that pleasure when Jim related the
following which we give in, as nearly as
possible, his own words.
"It was in the early sixties and I was
down at Santa Cruz, California, where 1
had a job helping to build a saw mill.
A large force of men was employed and,
as was the custom in those da3-s,'we
kept one man employed all the time
hunting game for the camp. The name
by which this particular hunter was
known was that of Redheaded Charley.
I never knew his real name. He was as
fine a marksman as ever pulled a trigger
and as all kinds of game was plentifnl in
those days Redheaded Charley had little
trouble keeping the camp well supplied.
.Just at this particular time the woods
were full of grizzlies and Charley and I
had made it Hp to have a hunt one Sun
day when I had knocked off work. We
started early in the morning and made
for a point called Chase's Landing,
about five miles distant from camp,
Charley carrying a dinner bucket and
warer flask We had reached a flat where
there was n nrettv dense covering of
hazel brush and thicket when we spied,
on a hillside about seventy-five yards
from us, a big female gnzzley. It was
the first time I had been so wear a live
bear in its native jungle and you bet I
began to get mighty weak about the
knees. Presently Charly said 'I'm go
ing to' shoot, and if I should happen to
miss her you must look out for yourself.'
It was no sooner said than he let fly and
the shot evidently took effect but not
seriously and the next instant the bear
came lumbering down the hill towards
us as fast as her heels could carry her.
We lost no time, you may be sure, seek
ing the safety of two friendly fir trees
which we hastily climbed, taking the
precaution of bringing our guns with us.
The two trees were at convenient speak
ing distance and the bear had taken to
the tree that Charley had climbed, but
the brush was so thick around the root
of Charley's tree that I could not get
sight of the bear. Still I was as much
afraid to get down from the tree
Charley was and there that bear kept
the two of us from about !) o'clock in the
morning, all that day and all the next
night till nearly 10 o'clock the following
morning."
W!:v did not Chariev shoot, her?"
asked the scribe.
That's what I'm going to tell you,"
answered Jim. "Yon see it was betore
the davs of breech-loaders and Charley
had unfortunately dropped his ramrod
and could not, therefore, load his gun
I had got terribly hungry at the last and
I bethought me. of a plan to do away
with that bear that worked like a charm.
I told Charley to pouf a good charge of
powder into his gun, which he did
Then he took a bullet and placed it inside
the muzzle of his rifle, pressing it in a
little with his finger. The a he took his
knife and whittled the round part that
projected out of the muzzle till it was
bright and clear as a new silver quarter
The he pointed the gun fairly at me and
I took careful aim at the bullet and fired.'
My ball struck the one in Charley's gun
square in the center and drove it home
to the breach. A moment more and
the beat lay dead at the foot of Charley's
tree with the two bullets in its heart."

' In the case 'of the man Fonger who
was struck by a passing locomotive Vc
this plate last Monday, the jury last
night ordered a post-jnorteni examina
tion which was made by Drs. Hollister
and Southerland when a large piece of
meat was found lodged in the man's
windpipe about two inches from the top,
which completely filled the cavity and
made breathing impossible.- The meat
had lodged there while the man was
vomiting under the influence of the
anesthetic and was undoubtedly the
immediate cause of his death. The jury
returned a verdict accordingly: "We

his death by suffocation from the lodg

A Trio of Slick Counterfeiter
On Tuesday evening last three men
called at the house of J. H. Mosier of
Mosier and asked to be kept over night.
They had walked the track from The
Dalles claiming that they had missed
the boat that morning and they were on
their way so they said to Portland.
They had supper, bed, and breakfast
next morning for which they succeeded
in passing off on Mr. Mosier a counter
feit twenty dollar piece, and receiving
seventeen dollars and a half in chance.
The men breakfasted and left before
daylight taking the track going west and
Mr. Mosier put the bogus twenty dollar
piece in a purse ana inougnt no more
about it till next day when be discovered
that he had been duped. Mr. Mosier
has notified the authorities and it is to
be hoped the scoundrels may be caught.
The three men are described as about
the age of thirty years i'acli. One of
them is low set with black mustache and
bald head, having only a little hair back
of his ears. Another is of medium size,
of very slight build and wore no beard.
The third wore dark side whiskers with
his chin clean shaved. He was dressed
in long yellow or light brown colored
overcoat and carried a bundle done up
in a piece of oilcloth. They evidently
went west as men answering to their
description were seen at Hood River.
Editor Chronicle:
We now look back to the days of op
pression from high freights and fares,
and upon the tiring efforts of persons
and people to release themselves from
the avaricious grasp of a very rich cor
poration which had squeezed every dollar
of their wealth from the people of Ore
gon and Washington, and when we made
an effort for release, as the putting on of
the steamers Little Teaser, Gold Dust
and many other similar efforts which are
yet in the memory of old settlers, how
very soon did they ponnce upon us like
a hawk on a chicken, and crushed soul,
life and intent out of it, until we were
almost disgusted with our ovn efforts.
But it is a fact that oppression has its
day and truth and righteousness will
prevail. If so all tha people will say
"amen."
How fondly did we hope that congress
would relieve us ! How sorely were we
disappointed! When the building of
the locks was turned over to the war de
partment we had a meeting at The
Dalles and discussed the matter at some
length. We remember that the writer
proposed that we petition congress to let
the building of the locks by contract but
a number of our influential citizens
thought the plan useless and impracti
cable, tome of whom still live to see the
folly of the present plan of building the
locks.
We have always claimed that this rail
road corporation has done nothing that
any other company or individual would
not have done under the same condi
tions. They had held this migbty pass
through the Cascade mountains from
the Inland Empire to the northwestern
metropolis Portland until they viewed
it as rightfully belonging to them. They
bought us, paid their money for us and
owned us cas they thought) until now.
Portland has far less excuse for the
course she has pursued than the railroad
company for they have made themselves
rich through their course, but Portland
has lost much of the trade of the Inland
Empire that even now an open river
will not entirely bring back. She had
nearly lost the title of being the largest
city in the northwest and only by dint
of hard labor and raking and scraping a
few of her suburban cities inside her
corporation has she maintained her
supremacy and wealth. Until recently
she has always thrown her influence in
favor of the railroad company and
against this country. Her board of
trade and leading journal has spoken
an acted againsi an open river, the latter
at one time by saying that the govern
ment might as well throw money into
the Columbia river as to appropriate
for the locks. Had she stood in with us
as her interests demanded, her popula
tion today would have been 10,000 more
and her commerce one-third greater.
Was she afraid of Astoria.' Had sue a
contract with the railroad company that
their terminus should always remain at
Portland? Are they heartily in earnest
for au open river today? Does their
commercial board in indorsing the Paul
Mohr portage road system around the
dalles of the Columbia indicate their in
terest in the matter? Are they so inno
cent and devoid of suspicion that they'
cannot see that to build on the Wash
ington side, takes no trade but Klicki
tat and we have that by an open river
just as surely as to build on that aide.
Besides by building on that side we
throw it more or less out of the hands of
its friends and under the influence of the
North Pacific company and a large ma
jority of the legislature of the state and
all large cities of Washington. They are
very innocent in this matter that we
fear it is mixed a little with guile.
If they think the Union Pacific is go
ing to give this entire river pass up with
out a further struggle they are more
verdant than I can credit them for. Do
they think to commence at this late day
and sail through the obstructions of this
Columbia pass on flowery beds of ease,
while we have struggled for fifteen or
twenty years to open the river from here
to Portland. Besides to build on this
side, the portage will be entirely under
the control of its friends and will directly
tap Sherman county at its upper termi
nus and also secure all the trade tribu
tary to the Columbia river. The people
of the Inland Empire are not alone in
thinking that Portland and the U. P.
company are still working together to
prevent an open upper river. While we
do not accuse the editor of the Oregonian
of being an aspirant for congressional
honors, yet, though he usually main
tains his editorial perch with unusual
steadiness on most occasions, when the
editor of the Astoria Daily Talk, by a
well directed shot recently given him
upon this subject by saying: "To ac
complish its canal and defeat an Astoria
railroad it will help the Union Pacific to
defeat an open river," etc., he fluttered
in good style. (See editorial November
27, 1891.)
But now half the battle is won and all
concerned have done bravely. But the
Oregon legislature in passing the Wat
kins bill solved the problem, and while
we can't blame the Union Pacific com
pany financially for bucking, yet we can
say to them so far as the river from here
to Portland is concerned, you have let
your golden opportunity like a financial
sunbeam pass you by. So long as the
portage road is managed by the friends
of an open river they may as well tie up
the Baker, unless it is being run to dis
courage the building of the upper por
tage. Finally, if Portland is willing to
let the time past fully suffice to have
worked with the U. P. company to de"
feat an open river, and will' show fruits
to inspire our confidence, let them say it
strongly and then we will try to repeat
it and all the Inland Empire will say
Amen." Hobace Rice.

wheat we are not in it; money is our
main crop here. The Mt. Hood Literary
society is gliding along very smoothly.
The society publishes a paper also but
the name of the paper is hardly fit for
the society though it would be first-class
for the district. You will learn the
name of the paper by the following
clipping of poetry taken from tho same :

This Is the n'pht for me uon which to mate a

You must excuse my contents, it isn't very rich,
But please do remember that this is my baby

As there was no motion made in favor of a name
It didn't make much difTrence to the paper just
the same.
My editor, Hint's livinfr down the hollow of Dry

The thanksgiving season lias passed
without any material change in the bus
iness of the week. The late rain has
stimulated trade considerably. In ad
dition to the already large stocks on
hand, our merchants have filled up
heavily in anticipation of a brisk busi
ness for the winter and the holidays.
General lines of merchandise maintain
their usual prices without changes, save
in sugar, which has been marked down
owing to the large stocks on hand of the
China importation, which has been
brought in, in competition with the
Spreckles and American refineries. The
staple so far, has given excellent satis
faction to our dealers as well as to the
consumers. Coffee has taken an advance
and a still higher price is looked for.
Also beans are a. shade higher aud will
go up still more in the near future.
Rice is held firm on former quotations,
although large shipments have been
received recently from Japan and the
islands. Dried fruits arc in good supply

Miss Emily Husbands went to The

return to her home at Mosier in a few
davs.
I must say that the most fearless set of
engineers run on the Union Pacific be
tween The Dalles and Portland of any
other road in the world. I presume
that if they knew the rotten condition of
all the old trestles on which the." pass
over every day they would not be quite
so much so, for they really do carry their
lives over on a mere piece of cobweb,
when they go over such trestles.

Circuit Court Proceeding)!.
The case of French & Co. vs. D. L.
Cates, after occupying the court for two
days was given to the jury on Wednes
day night when a verdict was returned
in favor of the defendant for $5,50G.GG.
Chas. E. Schmidt, indicted as Chas.
E.' Stone, who pleaded guilty to three
charges of forgery, was sentenced this
morning to three years for each offence
nine years in all.
William Moreton was granted per
mission to alter his plea of not guilty of
assault with a deadly weapon to guilty
of a common assault. He had notbeen
sentenced up to time of going to press.
The case of the state vs. M. J. Atwell
is now occupying the court and bids fair
to occupy it all day tomorrow.
The case of the State vs. Mrs. M. J.
Atwell is still on trial. The jury went
down to the Cascade Locks Saturday
morning to inspect the tract of land in
controversy, and returned on the noon
passenger.
William Moreton, who pleaded guilty
to simple assault was brought into court
and sentenced to pay a fine of $50 and
costs and to stand committed until the
fine is paid.
French & Co., filed an affidavit and mo
tion for a new trial in the casoof French
& Co. vs. D. L. Cates.
In the circuit court this morning the
case of the state vs. J. T. Deek, of Hood
River, was submitted to the jury which,
after being out about twenty minutes
returned a verdict of not guilty.
As this is probably the last of the jury
trials the jurors were all discharged, ex
cepting Judd Fish and N. B. Whyera,'
who were retained pending a probable
jury trial of a case in which Judge Brad
shaw was retained betore being ap
pointed to the bench and which would
therefore be tried before another judge.
Judge Bradshaw this morning hned a
witness named James Hoag, from Hood
River, in the sum of ten dollars, because
he had not appeared in court at the time
specified in the summons and because
the court was kept waiting for something
like half an hour while he was being
hunted up in town. . ,

Mosier Items
Mosieb, Or., Nov. 25, 1891.
Editor of the Chronicle:
New settlers are still dropping in from
unknown regions, and all seem to stop
in and about Mosier precinct. Mosier
is a small place, and is not much heard
from, but, Mr. Editor, I want to tell you
that it is the place where they turn out
the coin. Mosier precinct is all business
and of course, like unto a business man,
knows its own business.
The young gentlemen of Mosier seem
to think that weddings will be a com
mon occurrence here this fall and if the
young gentlemen think so, there must
be some truth in the assertion.

pondents that a certain man braggs on
having one of the finest stands of wheat
in his neighborhood. I would say that
Struck 15 y A Passing Tender.
Ralph Fonger a wiper , in the employ
of the Union Pacific at this place was
struck Tuesday morning by the tender of
passing; locomotive and received injuries
from which he died a short time after.
Fonger was standing on the bridge east
of the company's round house playing a
horse on the fcifcut that carries off the
ashes and cinders of the locomotives,
when he was struck. He was carried to
the Columbia hotel where he lived long
enough to tell that' he had received no
warning whatever by bell or whistle and
that the noise made by the hose playin
on the sheet iron spout prevented him
hearing the approach of the locomotive
from behind. Fonger was about 26
years of age and unmarried. His par
ents reside in St. Catherines Canada,
from which he. came to this country
about a year ago. He had been in the
employ of P. T. Sharp of Three Mile all
harvest and only left there a few weeks
ago. Fonger's hip was knocked out of
joint by the collision and it is believed
that he must have been injured intern
ally, as it is said blood came out of his
cars after his death. Ether was ad
ministrated while "the joint was being
put in place but the man neyer recov
ered wholly from its effects, although
the doctors assure us it was adminis
trated with great care.
