DEATH THREE WAYS.
THE THRILLING EXPERIENCE OF A
PROSPECTOR.
He Was Attacked by a Ceotiped, at Grizilj
Bear anil a Crow Indian An Escapt
That Was Little Short of the Miraculous
lie but tr.e Bear's Hide.
"I had some pretty close calls In the old
days fighting Indians and bears singlt
Landed," says Colonel Burrows of Mon
tana, "but once I was cornered by griz
Ely, acentiped and a Crow Indian, andfet
ting out cf that corner I had the closest
shave of my life, I guess. I was prospect
lng along the foot of the Rockies one sum
mer. 'One morning I started to follow p a
small ravine that I had discovered the day
before, along the banks of which were somt
very teant outcropping? of silver. I got
so interested in examining epecimens ol
rock that I pushed on, quite forgetful ol
time and distance, until a feeling of ernpti
Eesi warnid me that it was noon.
"It was a hot day, and when I had fin
lshed my dinner I was sleepy. I lay down
in the 6hade of a tree to take a short nap,
knowing that I would wake up in less
than aft hour, which would give me plenty
cf time to get buck to camp before dark.
I took off my coat and put It under my
head, rolled up the sleeves of my Cdnnel
shift and made myself as comfortable as
possible. I had been asleep possibly 15
minutes whun a peculiar tickling sensa
tion en my rig-ht arm caused me to wake
Buddenly. I'ortunately for me I did not
epring tip with a start.
"Opening my eyes, I looked first at my
arm where I had felc the tickling. As I
did so buy heart stopped beating lor a min
ute, it seefned to me, and I felt a cold
sweat starting out of every pore. Hall
way up my arm was a full grown centi
ped crawling around on the bare Cesh.
4'I could see the venomous insect with
out even turning my eyeballs, and I lay
perfectly still. How I did it I don't know.
It seemed to me that there was a ton ol
weight on my chest holding me down,
and although it was a scorching hot day I
was seen as cold as if I had been lying in
an icebox. The ceutiped would crawl to
where my shirt sleeve was rolled up, then
crawl all around the arm, back to the
wrist and then back again. He mu.st have
made the circuit 20 times, and the strain
on my nerves was telling on mo fast.
"Suddenly a new- danger appeared be
fore my starinst eyes. I heard a rustling cl
leaves, and a moment later a huge brown
bear, gaunt and hungry looking, walked
out of tho bushes and came straight to
ward me.
"Then I gave myself up for good, and
hnlf closing my eyes I tried to think of a
prayer to say. Tho bear walked straight
up to me, end beginning at my foot began
to smell and push me with his nose. The
centiped saw the bear coming and crawl
ed around on tho under side of my arm
and stopped. Every instant I expected tJ
feel tho sharp sting of the inect, and I
was trying to nerve myself up tc let tht
tear liniih me in short order rather than
buffer the torture cf the slower death.
"But the bear looked lua over, pushed
my arms and legs about and lickea my
face. Scill the centiped did not move.
The bear stood there for several mlaut?3,
it seemed to me, but at last appeared to
make up Its mind that I was dead, tmd ha
would leave me to the coyotos. Then he
turned and lumbord o2 in the same di
rection from which he had come.
'But the deadly centiped was still on
my arm. and by this time I was so weak
as to ba in danger of rolling over In utter
collapse. Then a sudden warning of a new
daE'er gave my nerves another shock.
''The bear had gone lass than 50 feet
away when I hecrd the sharp crack cf a
rille on the other side of me, heard tha
his of a bullet as it flew over me and saw
a bunch of fur tiy frem the side cf the
bear. The animal had been hit just bck
of the left shoulder, but the bullet did not
even knock him down. With a growl of
rage, tha big shaggy monstur turned and
came toward me with a rush.
' I was certrtin that tha shot had beea
fired, by an Indian, and if there was any
faint hope of escape lingaring in my breast
before it rapidly vanished. The centiped
Ji-d been startled by the shot and was now
running down my bare arm.
' I quickly made up my mind that if
my time had come I had rather bo shot by
an Indian or torn to pieces by the bear than
to be stung to death by the centiped.
Wiih a bound I sprang to my feet, and
to uy intenaa relief tho centiped dropped
from my arm to the ground without sting
ing me. But I forgot to grab my gun as
I rose, and when I got to my feet the bear
was so close I did not have time to stoop
and get it. In fact it was only by a quick
leap to on cj side that I escaped the clutch
of the grizzly as ha rose to his hind feet
and made a lunge at me with paws out
strcehtd and mouth wide open.
'As 1 leaped aside and faced about I
caught sight of a murderous looking Crow
Indian, who stood, rifle in hand, not less
than c!J yards away. Tha Indian was evi
dently not aware of my pre.-ence until I
jumped up from the ground, and had hi3
ride raided for a second shot at the bear.
He was so startled by my sudden appear
ance that ho lowered his rifle, and instead
of taking a shot at me ran away as fast as
he could go.
"But 1 was not yet out of danger by
any means. Tho pain of his wound made
the bear frantic. Growling furiously, he
turned and made another rush at mo. He
was now between me and my rifle, and
my only weapon was a long hunting
knife, which I carried in my blet. Glanc
ing back over my shoulder for a second, I
discovered another and serious danger. I
was within 0 feet cf the bank of the
ravine, which was directly behind me. A
stumble or slip of the foot would carry
me over the brink, which meant a fall of
100 feet, to strike on the rocks below.
"As I dodged about to avoid the savage
rushes cf the animal I kept getting nearer
the brick cf the ravine. Finally I stood
on the very edge of it, with the bear facing
me 20 feet away. Again he rose on his
hind feet and came to me, with a vicious
growl. I stood until I could almost feel
his hot breath in my face. Then, duck
ing to avoid his outstretched fore legs, I
sprang quickly to one side.
"My plan of escape was a success. Tha
momentum of the big brute was such
that he could not stop iu time, and he
purged headlong over the bank and tum
bled to the bottom of the ravine. I heard
him strike the rocks 100 feet below with a
thud, and then as I realized that I was
safo I dropped to the ground as limp as a
wet rag. I was as weak as a baby from
the eiiec-ts of the strain on my nerve, and
it was nearly an hour before I was strong
enough to pick up my riSe and start back
to camp.
'With my two companions to help me
I went up the ravine the next day and se
cured the hide of the bear." St. Louis
Glebe-Democrat.

Geriuanx Are Afraid to Invest in American
Kailway ailucks Auy More.
AYashixgton, Nov. 16. Frank II. Ma
son, United States consul general at
"rauklort, in a special report to the state
u part meat, states that American rail
Way secarities have fallen into bud odor
iu Germany, and he endeavors to point
out the reasons therefor aud suggests
measures for rehabilitating them iu the
huancial world.
He savs that in Frankfort, which was
the first Kuropean .money markt to ac
cept Uaiied States bonds buring the
dark days of the war and in which Ameri
can investments had been popular, not
only are our new securities retused be
cause of American origin, but these rail
road bouds and stocks had for years been
returned to America and their proceeds
invested in less remunerative Prussian
consols aud other staudtrd securities
backed by government credit and super
Vision. The consul general says: "The cloud
which overshadowed American railway
securities in Germany has beeu raised
mainly by the revelations of the past two
years concerning the management of
several leading railway properties. Ger
man investors were heavy losers and
their loasea served to call the atteutiou
of the people and press more sharply
thau ever before to the usurpat;ons of
power and evasions of responsibility
which, it is claimed, have become so
numerous.
"European bond and shareholders have
been informed that the power of the
president aud directors in in Hay impor
tant railway companies has become prac
tically omnipotent and irresponsible.
They have sent over protests and proxies
to be used at elections for the purpose of
wresting the control of corporate prop
erties from the hands of oiiicers who
were said to be abusing their trusts, and
they have seea these and every other
eilort toward a change easily and hope
lessly defeated.
" Lhat tiie accounts of an entire railway
system may be falsified and its securities
sustained "in the market by iictitious
statements of earnings and concealment
of rebates all of which is believed
here are discoveries of comparatively
recent date."
"The uniform reply of the German
financiers, when asked what is requisite
to restore Europeau confidence iu Amer
ican railway securities, is that such cor
porations should be brought under the
control of a comprehensive federal law.1'
Consul General Mason says that the
German railroad license system is not
;,i!plicable iu its eutirety to America, but
a .is in conclusion:
"It is believed by many whose expe
rience aud interests in both countries en
title their opinions to respect, that it
should be possible to frame and adopt a
statute applicable to at least all railway
companies of the class now subject to
the interstate commerce law, and which
,hall be clear, precise and inexorable
noon the following topics:
"First The regulation of the election
of railway officers, so that such elections
3 tall be free and open, and represent
directly and fairly the wishes and inter
ests of security holders.
"Second Creation of anational bureau
of publicity, inspection and control, pro
riding for the regular publication at
a ated periods of certified reports, show
u fully and accurately the earninzs,
expenses, acts of directors and all busi
iess results which affect the value of
corporate property.
"Third Making each violation of law
ay an act of usurpation or wilful mis
nanagement a crime entailing imprison

cutions for such offenses.

The State of Affairs in the Indiau Territory
iu.pljr Terrible.
Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 16. In the
opiuiou of Major C. B. Moore, a promi
nent attorney of this city who has just
returned from a trip to the Indian ter
ritory where Bandit Bill Cook aud his
reckless and ravenous followers held
sway, the situation iu the territory is in
describable. There is practically uo
such thing as an enforcement of the law
aud the bandits are virtually unmolested
in their appalling depredations. Major
Moore spent neveral days at Muskogee
and Fort Gibson, aud he says the busi
ness men and property owners t ierd are
panic strickuu at the complete commer
cial paralysis resultant from the reign of
la wlc.suess.
Not half of the crimes committed find
space in the newspapers; iu fact the
half has not been told of the terrible
condition of affairs. Organized gang's
go from place to place plundering right
and left aud a.ldiug murder to their
category of crimes when reiistauce is
offered them.
Marshal Crump and his men are spar
ing no efforts to protect properly aud
life, but they seem powerless to check
tue sway of the bandits. Major Moore
says the situation is growing worse all
the time. Crime is congenial to a heavy
per ceutage of territory population,
hence there is, of course, strong opposi
tion from a certain contingent to a
change in the present run of things.
