(Ph.), .laui. -29. I.ot tie Men-ill. thti female hunter of this section, !ms just hal another adventure worthy of record and one which came so nar costing inr her life that site will probably in the future never resuitte licr musculine sport. A few days ago, just after the great sieet storm -which swept over the country, Lottie determined to go deer hunt Inrj. Donning her iow sliocs site started to cross Drig swamp, a denf mass of scrup oaks and laural. When tle Imd rcaohod the center of tlc ntarsJi le djs "overed the foot-print of a very larrc bear on the crust. She fol lowed the trail out of die swamp jor about two miles, when .-he dis coered the den which the animal inhabited. Entering the cave she fc und two little cubs on a bed of leaves in one corner. The cubs -were about the size of kittens and were easily captured. Lottie was just emerging from the cave when she was met by an immense she-bear. The bear had heard the cubs yell and was mak ing all possible speed to rescue them. Before Lottie could draw her rifle to her shoulder the ani mal was upon her and grasping her in her paws gave her such a terrible squeeze that she fainted. vhen the bear, thinking her dead released her grip. She lortunately regained consciousness quickly, and while the old bear wjis flay ing with her cubs the plucky hun ter drew her rifle and shot her in the side. The bullet did not strike the animal's heart, and as the brute dashed at her again Lottie drew her hunting knife and with one bold strike nearly served the bear's head from the body. Lottie was just congratulating herself on tier successful escape when the dead bear's mate made hi appearance. Lottie's rifle was! unloaded and sle was totally un prepared for a .second encounter, but determined to "fight it out."' The" struggle was a long one. Fortunately tlie young lady was not encumbered in her motions by petticoats, for in all her hunting! expeditions she wears pantaloons of dueskiu, with a long blouse. "Wlien. li H v. IxKtie thoutrht the - 3 " i bar was dead he stoojed over to! cut hit throat, ami the animal, with one stroke of his monstrous paw, j tore tlie clothing almost complete ly from her lody. During the protracted struggle the heal had reached the edge of a ciifl fuliy a hundred feet hisrh and sloping at a: angle of more thnii forty-five j decrees down to the "Wallinpau pack creek. As the animal grabbed Lottie he commenced sliding on the slippery crust down this al most perpendicular slope. Lottie was carried with him, and even foot of distance traversed added to their velocity. When they reachod the foot of the slope they struck against a tree, completely killing the bear and breaking two of Lot tie's ribs, her left arm and one of her limbs. She managed, how ever, to crawl about a mile to a house, where she received medical treatment: The first bear killed weighed when dressed 40o pounds and the male one 4S4 pounds. Lottie, who is improving slowly, has the cubs in her possession, but she says it will be some time before she will take another expe dition of this kind. Magnus C.

A "Washerwoman "Who Has Made a Fortune of a Million Dollars Mrs. Sarah 1 Jay arrived in Buffa lo the other day, from Leadville, onlier way to New York, whither she lias "one for tin mirtwse of locating her daughter. Cora, in a school, and arranging for the future rare of a little Mexican girl whom she had in charge. Mrs. Kay has. a Mt-tory, which, u pttoiisnea. would read like a romauce. She had dug in mines, fought in wars with Indians side by side with 1mm husband, scoured tlie plains on horseback as a scout, and became an ejert in the business; helped found the city of Leadville, being the first white woman who ever dared venture tliere, map-el out roads, built houses, took in wash ing from the Leadville miners, ami is to-day in possession pf a fortune that pays Iter an income of "X).GO0 a 3ear. A reporter paid ler a call a slie sat in a central palace car waiting for the train to start. He found her occupying a seat facing her daughter Cora, and around her was piled numerous bundles of lug gage. She expressed herself as glad to grant an interview, and pleasingly said: "Sit down there by Cora and I will talk with you.' Cora is a handsome girl of alout seventeen summers, and as she assented to the projwsition the re porter did not deliberate, but readily took a seat by her side. Mrs. Ray commenced by sav ing, with a hearty laugh: "Now Pin not going to tell vou how old I am, for 1 may want to get mar ried again when I get to Xew York Then she went on to say that she came fiom the North of Ire land to Xew York city when she was fifteen, and married a book keeper named Joseph Ordway. Her husband died a year later, and she went to Leavenworth, Kansas, from thence to Denver, and finally in 1S?0, to Leadville. In Denver she married a miner named Frank Hay, but he died soon after. JJShe told how in Leadvilh she braved tlie daugets of storms of winters before tliere were build ings to inhabit: now Lor had to be kept wrapped up in heavy blankets to keep her from freezing. while she pursued her task of building a hut: ho, when the place became settled she saw the land site had take up tutu into a fortune, etc. She o buildings in Leadville that lent for S2.000 a month. Her career has been a peculiarly ertitful ami exciting one. ad one that would lear a more- extended notice than can well be given in a single issue of a daily paper. She grew eloquent as she related her adventures, ami her eye sparkled as she said: 1 saw my 4d man once sit on a horse and shoot seven Indians without stopjig. And I've dne something like it mvseif. Young man.1 site added with a quite twinkle of her eye. "Fv shot more Indians than you've got fingers and toes. You wouldn't think, to look at me. would you, that I've gone out on tne mountain side, up to my waist in snow, and staked out the streets of Leadville? But it's gospel truth.' She said she didn't know how long she would stay in Xew York. Her property in Leadville was at tended to by agents, and she felt perfectly content to stay away just as Jong as she telt disposed. She is now about fifty years old, weighs about one hundred and forty pounds, and is rugged and chipper. As she bade the reporter gooa i lay she remarked that she was happy, and was going to try and make others so during her re maining years. A NEW DODGE. How a Bogus Minor Manufactured Some Rich Quartz. A middle-aged man, w1k de clares that his name is Benjamin Franklin, was arrested bv ( )fiicer Horan on O'Farrell street, San Francisco, upon a charge of hav ing obtained money by means of false pretences from Julius C Gruudel. Tlie accused went into fa store kept or urttwiei. repre sented that lie had been a miner: was dead broke, and was anxious to raise one dollar on a quantity of gold quartx specimens, which he produced. These were con tained in a -mall vial, which was filled with water; the object of this, lie said, was to keep the specimens bright. Grundel, who is not an exjert in mineral quartz, was so pleased with tin bit.-, of white quart, which sliowcd a quantity of gold that he gave Ben Franklin a standard dollar. After that individual had taken his de parture I'rundel's curiosity was aroused to that degree that he un- corcked tin vial ami took out several pieces of tlie quartz, which he scraped, when, to his astonish ment, the gold came off. Being satisfied that he had been swindled, he called the officer, and found the seif-styled miner in a store, en deavoring to dispose of some other vials of specimens. Franklin was taken to the Central station, where, on being searched, twenty-one vials of glittering specimens were found on his person. The contents of one of these was thrown into a dipper of boiling water, and the result w.is that the gold left the quart, and fell to tlie bottom. On examination, it was discovered that a quantity of flint quartz had been broken into fragments, and that on each of these a small amount of dentists leaf gold had been stuck with varnish. The accused claimed that he was the victim of a fraud, the vials and contents having been sold to him for pure gold quartz bv a miner from Arizona.

A. .1. Payne, of alt creek township. 1mm a bright and pretty little daughter of seven years, who attended the Hi&trict scIkmiI in the neighborhood of her father farm. On a pleasant morning about four years aro. while on her way to sehool, the girl was mot by a vicious nighbor boy, three or four years older than herself, and who had a dead black snake, which he carried on a stick. He thrust the dead snake into the girl's face, ami she was so terrified she rould not run away. Then he took the snake and wrappd it around her neck ami shoulders and than ran off, leaving her thus en vironed. She took the reptile off and hastened to school. The child was greatly airitated during the entire forenoon, and wheu she re turned home tier parents, greatly j alaiined, urged her to tell them! what had occurred, for iter conduct was wild and strange. She gave them the story iu a disjointed tuaniier. shrieking1 out frequently, i "Take the snake awav." Bv nisrht I her leason was a wreck, ami has si remained ever since. For four weeks she hus reoogmzed no one, but daily sat with her l.ittle slate on her lap marking out the same Lfigures she had been given as a 1 --1 1 -t e .l 1 .. lesson ai scikhm oh me fatal uay on which the vicious boy placed the dead snake about her, and this iiumotony was only broken at times when sbe would ory out," "Taken the snake away.'' Hoping that medical science might jossi bly do something for tlie relief of his daughter, Mr. Payne took her to the state insane asylum, at In diunajiolis, a few weeks ago. Tlie physicians of the institution last week wrote him tliere was only a faint hojie for his beautiful child, and she will probably end her days an occupant of the asylum for tlie incurable insane.
