it without provocation.
Columbia State: A matter has been
brought to the attention of the state au

on the 17th inst. It occurred in Colleton

iners made the book contracts last year,
the publishers of Webster’s Unabridged
Dictionary agreed to sell that book at
$8.50 for the ordinary volume, and at
$9.25 with the patent index. It has been
reported to the authorities that an agent
of the company has been selling them all
over Colleton county at $18.50. Rumor has
it that the county school commissioner
has been aiding the agent in disposing of
the books at this price, taking the agent
around to the several schools with him.

fixed the 19th inst. to visit the county and
make a full investigation. The controller

is found that rumors connecting him with
the matter are true.

911 ED HI COYOTES. ,
A California Ilrraler Protected by
Them From a Hungry tirlssly Bear.
From the Philadelphia Times.
"Now that you've toid alt your stories
about the meanness and cussedness of the
coyote.” said Johnson Bieeker, the sheep
herder In the San Bernardino mountains.
In a company of ran- limen at the store
over at Warner's Springs the other even
ing. "I have a little on that subject to say
myself. 1 owe my life to a pack ofcoyotes
up In Kern county, and from all that 1 can
learn they are the same as all others of
the coyote famiiv. In >73 I was teaching
a district school in San Diego county, and
t*- ame all run down in health and spirits.
When the long summer vacation came on
I had an invitation from my brother Ned
to come and spend the summer at his
ranch in the mountains in Kern county.
I accepted and went there on mule-back,
because there were no railroads in South
ern California then.
“The second day I was at my brother’s
ranch we went out for a week of hunt
ing in the mountains. We were armed with
the best rifles, and our horses carried a big
lot of ammunition and camp stores. Ned
soon tired of hunting and after we had
tumbled over two wildcats and several an
telope he wanted to get back to his horses,
sheep and vineyards. He told me that the
upper mountain canyons were full of big
game, and that he knew from the loss of
several calves and pigs that summer that
there were bear In the heavy timber. That
was enough to excite my best endeavors
with the rifle, and 1 stayed in the moun
tains while my brother Ned got down to
his ranch. For a week more I got nothing
more than a deer, several antelope, and
for the sake of getting rid of what you
call ‘varmints,’ I shot a dozen or so co
yotes.
"I spent one night in a camp of a few
miners, who were washing gold In a
canyon, and next morning when I rode
away one of them advised me to keep,
near to their camp, for they had seen the
day before grlxzly bear tracks in the mud
about the spring two miles away. 1
laughingly assured the miners that I took
priuejn my marksmanship and. was natu
rally cautious and cool, so I thought no
harm could come to me. Along about
noon of that day I shot a buck some 2UO
yards from me, and as the wounded
animal bounded away In the heavy chap
arral I drove my spurs In my mustang
and gave chase. It was easy to follow
the buck because It left a trail of blood
stains on the ground and in the brush
as It bounded along. The deer ran down
the side of the mountain slope for per
haps three-quarters of a mile and tnen
suddenly struck down the mountain. And
so, following it, I came at last to the edge
of the canyon, with Its large timber and
heavy undergrowth. Just as I entered
this canyon 1 came upon the overturned
trunk of an enormous tree, which had
apparently fallen several months before,
turning out a huge mound of clay with
Its roots. The trail of blood showed that
the deer had leaped over the trunk, but
my horse was no Jumper, and I began has
tily circling around the tree. As I turned
the angle of the clay mound at its roots,
with a vicious snort an enormous gliz
zly sprung up erect out of the shadows
and faced me with Jaws open. This ap
parition and the sudden squatting of my
! horse occupied one second. Before the
next second was over my horse had
Jumped about fifteen feet, I should think.
I had gone over his back in a curve, turn
ing somersaults before I had struck the
ground. My gun had gone clear over
the grizzly's head and lay on the other
sld* of him, and there I was with my
leg broken above the knee. The ends of
the broken bones protruded through the
flesh and blood ran down the legs of my
trousers.
“Isn't it queer what funny things you
will think of in some awful moment of
sorrow or suspense? I lay there trying
to Imagine whether Ned would Mind enough
of my bones to accord me decent burial
when he came to search for me. I was
absolutely feeling in my pocket a little
dizzily for a pencil and paper so that I
could write a few words, when the grixzly
came, smelled me over two or three times,
and at last took hold of my left shoul
der and began to drag me. Then the
pain in my broken leg and tortured shoul
der overcame me. and I went off Into
blissful unconsciousness. When I began
to lind myself again the loud howling,
deep growling gcreams of rage startled
me back Into the world. I found the
grizzly standing over me, while all around
not more than twenty yards away, were
great, gaunt, hungry coyotes. They had
gathered In great numbers, and I saw
in a moment what had saved my life that
far. They were afraid to venture upon
the bear while he held his prey, and he
could not begin devouring his captive
while they stood around, strong In num
ber and emboldened by famine. When
ever the grizzly put his head down to
take hold of me the coyotes began to
crowd nearer, whereupon he raised his
head with a growl, and they fled to a
safer distance. This occurred not once
or twice, but a dozen times. The very
fact that I am here to-day, gentlemen,
Is due to a gang of coyotes that would
have torn me into a good many frag
ments if they could have had their way.
"But the brief respite came to an end.
The bear, tired of being defrauded of his
meal, deckled to drag it to some secure
place, and there feast at his leisure. He
made one last charge upon the coyotes,
and then ruHhlng hack seized my shoul
der again and started oft in a trot. A few
moments of agony were followed by an
other fainting spell, and once more, hap
pily, I was unconscious. When I recovered
the same howling, raging pandemonium
was going on around me. Added numbers
had made the coyotes more courageous,
and they were pressing close upon the
grizzly. He had not yet begun to devour
me. He would stand over me and growl
for a moment, and then make onslaughts
upon the enemy, scattering them like
chaff. As I turned to watch him in one of
these violent attacks I was startled to
find that I was lying just before the door
of one of my brother Ned's bear pens or
traps in the lower mountains. It was a
little house built and roofed with logs se
curely clamped to the lever that con
nected with the trigger Inside. I had help
ed build a dozen just like the one near at
hand. At first my only thought was cf
the grim joke It would be upon Ned's
bear trap to have his brother devoured by
a bear right in front of it. Then something
else occurred to me. The bear came back
and stood over me. His mouth was abso
lutely open to shut down upon my neck
and finish this story for me. I could feel
his hot breath on my face, when the co
yotes made a rush and one of them nb-
A Sufferer Cured
“Every season, from the time I
was two years old, I suffered dread
fully from erysipelas, which kept
growing worse until my hands were
almost useless. The bones softened
bo that they would bend, and several
of my fingers are now crooked from
J££jc this cause. On my
USMv hanrt I carry large
jg scars, which, but for
AYER’S

jyk be sores, provided I
was alive and able

™ Eight bottles of
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla cured me, so
that I have had no return of the

spot and a persistent use of it lias
perfected the cure.”— O. C. Davis,

solutely seized my foot. The grizzly rush
ed after them furiously. Now was my op
portunity. With superhuman exertion,
born of a highly desperate condition of
affairs. I rose upon my uninjured knee,
and half scrambled half rolled into the
pen. Before I was well in I could hear
the huge brute coming on a run. I crawl
ed another foot further—too late—no. I
reached the trigger with the tip of my fin
ger and down shot the ponderous door,
scraping the grizzly’s nose as it fell. I
was shut up in the bear pen.
"Wlmt a moment that was in my life.
If I lived a thousand years I shall never
forget it. How the brutes did rage out
side. A hundred times they walked around
and around the pen, the bear officiating
as chief mourner and the coyotes skulk
ing after him and howling dismally. As
for me, I lay stretched on the ground
and laughed and cried and cried and
laughed, for my nerves were gone all
to pieces and I had a spell of what
would have been hysterics if I had been
a woman. Sometimes I varied the per
formance by fainting comfortably away,
with such a blessed sense of security; and
when I waked again I cried and laughed
some more. I stayed there in that bear
pen I don't know how many hours.
“After awhile a fusillade of shots arous
ed me and 1 saw the grizzly rise upon ins
haunches. Then some more shots sound
ed and he fell, with faint, struggling mo
tion* of his arms. Tht coyote# rushed
at him first, but a few more shots Moat
tered them The next I knew there stood
my brothrr Edward looking down upon
me in the bear trap, or den. i was suffer
lug too much to observe tlie expression
of big face, but b was astonished to

r-'i X.°. u K l e v U ha fiPened this way: My
ened horse tore like mad through
the timber and passed the miners in
the canyon. They knew at once that
some accident had befallen me. Thev
started at once to hunt me up, when thev
came across my brother Ned, who had
come up for another day’s hunt with me
They saw where I had passed through
the chaparral and where I had been
thrown from my horse. The prints of
the bears feet had given them reason
to believe I was done for and the blood
on the ground assured them of the fright
ful death I* had met.
t 11 ,a was f ? lir or flve mo nthz before
I could get about again without crutches
and it was several weeks that I lay crit
ically 111 at my brother's ranch with my
shattered limb. The doctors say it is
marvelous that I lived through the first
month. I still feel pain where the break
occurred whenever the weather is damp
and I don’t suppose I shall ever get
over the horrible sensations of that
July day when I had my life saved by
the coyotes. Do you wonder, gentlemen,
