Encounter With a Bear,
(From Saturday's Dally.)
Word has reached this city to the
offect that Robert Shluglo, a moun
taineer of tho Applegate .country,
was most seriously Injured by an
encounter with a bear on the head
waters of Steamboat creek. In Jo
sephine couuty, near the Jackson
county line. The injured man was
saved by a companion, W. R. Green,
who was hunting with him and who,
attracted by the cries of Shingle,
reached the scene In time to shoot
bruin and save Shingle's life.
For seven miles Green carried
Shingle upon his back to where. their
camp was made, and then fixing him
upon a litter, carried the man ten
more miles, where he was able to get
a carriage and take him to Grants
Pass, where medical assistance was
rendered. Green returned to this
city from Grants Pass yesterday
morning on train No. 15.
Shingle had four ribs broken In
the encounter and both forearms.
The side of his faco was laid open
by a Btroke of the bear's paw. Ac
cording to the story told by Green,
Shingle will soou gut all right, If
complications do not set In. As Shin
gle's constitution is rugged from his
long sojourn In the mountains it Is
not thought that he will die, although
any person with a constitution less
rugged would certainly have died be
fore assistance could have been ren
dered. Green will leave today for the
place where the accident occurred In
order to save the bear's skin, If pos
sible. He is well known In this city.
as is Shingle, both men frequently
visiting Mud ford and Jacksonville
fur supplies for their many trips In
the mountains prospecting.
The encounter with the bear took
place about 3:30 o'clock on Wednes
day afternoon. Th two men left
camp soon after luncn in order to do
some hunting. They were on the j
trail of tho bear when they separated
in order to let Green go over a dl-
vide to see if he could bead off the
bear or pick up his trail in advance,
thus saving time. He bad not been
absent more than five minutes when
he heard a shot and then a short
time after loud cries for help. He
rushed down the hillside toward the
bottom of the creek and came upon
the scene of action. Shingle was In
the grasp of the bear, which was
standing upright. Upon noting
Green, the bear dropped Shingle
and stared at Green. Green shot and
placed a bullet fairly in the bear's i
head. Green then rushed to the j
side of Shingle and after a few mo
ments succeeded In bringing the man
to by pouring water from the creek I
into his face. Green then started on
his long seven-mile tramp to camp, I
carrying the Injured man upon his
back.
As soon as camp was reached
Green placed Shingle upon the back
of a pack burro and started for a
ranch-house ten miles away. This
place was reached after nightfall and
the injured man was placed in a car
riage and started for Grants Pass,
which was reached In dud time. The
strength of the injured man was
kept up with brandy.
The man was made comfortable
in the Pass and an examination was
made. It was found that he bad had
both forearms broken and four ribs.
Internal complications were feared.
but none developed.
Green Is a magnlficlne specimen of
manhood. He Btands over six feet
In height and is broad-shouldered,
looking equal to the task of carry
ing a heavy man for seven miles over
a rough country.
'Several times I thought that I
would never make the trip," said Mr.
Green to a representative of The
Morning Mail, "as the way I had to
travel was so rough. But there was
no way out of I; and X realized that
I would have to get Shingle to where
he could have proper care. 'Bob' and
I have hunted together for the past
ten years, and this Is the first time
anything hps ever gone wrong. I
couldn't lea 3 him, could I?
'As mud. as I have been ablo to
gather from his rather incoherent
talks about the matter, his first shot
only wounded the bar enough to
make her angry. She then turned
upon him and rushed before he could
get out of her road. It was fortu
nate that I was not a greater distance
from him than I was or he would
certainly have been killed.
"I am going back to the place and
get the hide of tho bear and see
where his shot took effect. He has
killed 53 bears In his time. The bear
was brown and was of an unusually
large size for this Bectton of the
country.
"The last report I had from the
doctor was that Shingle would re
cover and that there was nothing to
fear If complications did not set In,
and he does not expect this. Shin
gle has a wife and two children In
Grants Pass. He has considerable
money which he made a short time
ago from the sale or some property
on Williams creek "
Thinks It Saved His Life.
Lester M. Nelson, of Naples, Me.,
says in a recent letter: "I have used
Dr. King's New Discovery many
years, for coughs and colds, and I
think it saved my life. I have found
it a reliable remedy for throat and
lung complaints and would no more
be without a bottle than f would be
without food. For nearly forty
years New Discovery has stood at
the head of throat and lung rem
edies. As a preventive of pneumo
nia and henler of weak lungs It has
no equal. Sold under guarantee at

(From Sunday's Daily.)
The Commercial club rooms were
filled with a large audience of In
terested fruitgrowers yesterday af
ternoon, the occasion being the
monthly meeting of the Rogue River
Horticultural society.
The meeting was called to order
by President J. E. Watt and the min
utes of. the previous meeting were
read and approved.
County Inspector Taylor was
called upon and made a few remarks
dpon pear bMght. His advice was
that strict watch should be kept up
in the trees and the infected part
Immediately removed. The orch
ardists wore as a general rule loyally
bucking him In bis efforts.
A general discussion followed up
on the characteristics of the disease
which was participated in by quite
a number of the members. Messrs.
Merrick and Harris admitted their
conversion to the theory of Mr. My
ser of Colorado, that the blight germ
was the result of the disease, not
the cause, and that the disease was
not produced by Inoculation, but by
climatic and soil conditions. That
the principal cause was a superabun
dance of sap and that the disease ap
peared generally on the most thrifty
growing trees. Experiences of other
growers seemed to bear out this the
ory.
The remedy advocated was preven
tion, study of the soil and climatic
conditions and the taking of meas
ures to prevent favorable conditions
for the production of the disease.
Ah a rule the climatic conditions are
not favorable to the disease In this
country, but nevertheless all the
members were Instructed to keep a
close watch for Its first appearance
and to cut out the Infected limb or
twig and seek to remove the cause.
While no specific remedy for blight
has been found, the members of the
society are experimenting in differ
ent ways and feel confident that
they will be able to keep the disease
from getting a foothold here. The i
most prominent growers are the!
most sanguine and declare this coun
try has nothing to fear.
A letter was read from Secretary i
Wilson in regard to the matter of
a Joint demonstration by Professor
Wait of the agricultural department
and J. F. Myser of Rifle, Colo. The
secretary was unable to see that any
good would come of such an experi
ment and didn't think it advisable
to spend the government funds for
such a purpose, consequently de
clined to detail Professor Wait This
was a great disappointment as the
orchardists were keenly Interested.
It Is probable that another arrange
ment will be made with Mr. Miser.

There have been Bome very rotten 1

of the national house of representa

preferred Governor Chamberlain for

There Is no doubt whatever what
this means. It means that the people

As the people of Oregon feel, bo

doubt whatever that nine-tenths of
the Republicans would prefer free
trade with the assurance of personal

nine-tenths of the Democrats would
prefer high protection with honest

The people will demand personal
