From what can be learned It ap­

and three for acquittal.
Sentence will be Imposed by Judge
Burnett on Monday morning.

one to fifteen years and by fine of
double the amount of the defalca­

The case will, of course, be ap­

the case will be tried practically
anew, for the defense objected to
nearly all the evidence, saved excep­

the trial court on all points o f law
that go to the foundation of the case.
Attorney McCamant declined to

Grant G. Chase, hunter and prpapee
tor, who for eleven years has spent
most of his time In the Alaekan wllda,
crossed bis kneee In reminiscent fash­
ion at tTe Sherman House and told a
few beat stories on the ere of returning
to bis favorite haunts.
Then for corroboration there la the
testimony of Mrs. Chase, who for sev­
eral years has shared her husband's
life, and who hna kept a diary where­
in la faithfully recorded the number of
bear, caribou, sea otter and other fur-
bearers brought down daily, and care­
ful measurement of the biggest skins.
“ I suppose I bare killed 500 or U00
hears altogether,” continued Mr. Chase.
“O f course, a good deal of my time has
been given to some copper properties I
am interested In or the number might
have been much larger. At one time
and another I have bunted bear pretty
much all through the Rockies, but
there isn't another place to equal the
Alaskan peninsula.
“ Big? Well, 111 tell you. Those
bears up there are the largest In the
world. A full grown male weighs from
2,000 to 2.500 pounds The skin of the
largest fellow I ever killed measured
13 feet 4 inches long and 13 feet 3
Inches spread from toenail to toenail.
I can lift aa much as the average man,
but I ’m telling It .straight when I say
that with Mrs. Chase to help me I
couldn’t turn that fellow over on his
back to skin him.
"Twenty feet Is the nearest a beat

old female whose cub I had brought
down, came for me one day and she
was mad. She was sixty or seventy

In earnest. I worked my gun pretty
rapidly and the shots took effect. She

dropped.
“ M rs Chase and I got a scare once,
though. In rather a ludicrous way. I
had three camps In a lonely region,
where for three years Mrs. Chase never
saw a white woman. I bad to put up
‘bavaralas.’ or bouses of drift wood,
the only kind available. We were go­

brought down a bear.

“ I have a good story on one of Wash­

prominent clubman, addressing some
friends in the billiard room of the Met­

I went to see the doctor about them.
“ After a thorough examination he

he gave me an appointment for that

were in their normal condition.
‘Well, I mislaid that blessed pre­
scription, and os I was particularly
busy that week, I had no time to get
another copy. So in some trepidation
I kept my second appointment.
‘As the doctor examined my eyes 1
hesitated a moment about telling him
I hod not used the drops, when he took
the words out of my mouth and the
breath out of my body by remarking
with pleased emphasis:
‘ ‘Your eyes are very much Im­

yon Is certainly wonderful. It always
has such prompt and satisfactory re­
sults.'
“It wag all I could do to keep cl­
