Carries a Bullet for Half a Century.
C. S. Howard, better known as
"Bear" Howard, from his well-earned
title of bear-killer, having killed more
bears than any man who ever lived in
Arizona, is in town this week. Mr.
Howard has lived tor u quarter of u
century on a ranch near West Oak
creek. He Is now In his eighty fourth
year and has gone through many ex
citing events and endured many hard
ships during his life. In 1845 ho was
in Texas when that state was having
un exciting time between tho Mexicans
nnd the early American settlers. It
was his misfortune to be with a party
of Americans who got mixed t'p in a
fight with a superior number of Mexi
cans. In the shooting whicli followed
Mr. Howard was shot. The bullet en
tered his body on the leftside, between
a couple of floating ribs, and lodged in
his back.
It was three months before he recov
ered frotn the wound, and the bullet be
curried in his body until yesterday, u
period of fifty-six years. During this
time the bullet occasionally made its
presence known, but during the past
two years Mr. Howard has suffered a
great deal of puin from its presence.
Yesterday he consulted Dr. Robin
son und concluded to have the bullet
cut out. Mr. Howard stood the opera
tion without flinching. The bullet is
a leaden one, about 32 cal., und re
tained its original shape, not being in
the least battered or flattened. Dr.
Robinson lias the leaden missile on ex
hibition in his olllce. Mr. Howard is
improving and expects to recover bis
health.

pervisor of training school. Already
a number of pupils from adjoining
counties have arrived, to be present at
tlie opening hour of the school.
During the past two years the school,
although laboring under some difficul
ties in the lack of labratory and dormi
tory, has been successful beyond the
expectation of its friends.
The success of the school is largely
due to the work of A. N. Taylor, prin
cipal, who has made the profession of
leaching his life study, because he
loves the work. Profesor Taylor has
tlie confidence of the trustees and of
the public who are fully satisfied with
his successful conduct of tlie school.
KING OF ITALY'S DISCOVERY.
Catic of Victor Eumiiistl'i Uayopa-
larlty with Hla CItII
Serranta.
There is an. element of the unex
pected about King Victor Emmanuel
which is beginning to render him
noioso (a bore) to certain classes of
his subjects. I suppose all the world
over civil-service clerks ure more as
siduous than any others in their ef
forts to render their positions sine
cures.but in Italy they reach the acme
of perfection in this respect. The
other morning Sig. Prinetti, minister
of foreign affairs, went, as usual, to
the Quirinal for the royal signature
to various documents, which the king
signed without comment until he ar
rived at one for the augmentation of
the staff of the foreign office. "This,"
he said, to the surprise of the minis
ter, "you may leave; I desire to look
into it," and there the matter ended
for the moment, says the Kome cor
respondent of the Pall Mall Gazette.
Tlie next morning his majesty went
out alone and on footn'rriving at the
foreign office about nine o'clock, and

began a tour of discovery, we may
call it, in search of some one to
speak to. At last in a small room
toward the roof he came upon a lone
man busily engaged in rolling a
cigarette. "Ah!" said the king, "you
are already at your work; pray what
are the regulation morning hours in
this office?" "From eight to twelve,"
stammered the unhappy man, wish
ing his bad luck had not led him so
early out of bed. "And what hour,
may I ask, can I hope to see your
catalogues?" "About 11," the em
barrassed clerk replied, too confused
not to tell the truth. "Oh, well, go
on with your smoke, and tell your
chief of my visit when he conies,"
which, of course, was done, causing-
dismay to reign supreme in the
breasts of the 300-odd clerks thus
caught napping. Meanwhile the min
ister was called nnd dryly told that
instead of increasing the staff of the
office it might be just as well to see
that those already there did their
duty.
