Columbia State: A matter has been brought to the attention of the state au thorities, which is to be fully investigated on the 17th inst. It occurred in Colleton county. When the state board of exam 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. Superintendent of Education Mayfield has fixed the 19th inst. to visit the county and make a full investigation. The controller general has, pending this investigation, ordered the county treasurer to refuse payment of all claims for these illegal sales. In the meantime Mr. Mayfield de sires the public to suspend judgment on the school commissioner's course until it is found that rumors connecting him with the matter are true. Hanning tor the Senate.

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.

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.
