A Large Silver Tip Bear
Made An Unprovoked
A.. a el. on Well Known
Mining Man.
About the middle of the a'ternoon ol
Tuesday last Messrs. Ceo. H, Bayne
and.I. A. Kennedy had an experience
that does not often fall to the lot of
man. and one ffora which both men
may i.-onsi< e;- themselves foi-tunate in
having escaped alive, and yet one that
Ml*, Bayne may never recover from.
An Eaqle reporter mot Mr. Kennedy
yesterday and got the following full
particulars:
About a week ago Mr. Ea.yno came
in from Rossland, accompanied by Mr.
Kennedy, and went directly to Hall
creek, camping at the Jewel cabin, 10
miles above Ten-Milo, which is reach-
od by a very rough mountain trail. Mr.
Bayno is interested in several properties on Hall and Haley crocks and he
and Mr. Kennedy intended to spend
about two mouths doing assessments
and examining different properties in
the vicinity. Tuesday tho two walked
to the "Littlo Tommy" across the big
lime dyke and ovor three miles distant. Thoy had finished their examination and were returning to camp,
walking through thick undergrowth,
when they heard an animal growling
and snorting, presumably a bear warning her cubs to seek shelter Irom possible danger. Mi. Kennedy continued
us follows:
"We stepped upon a largo fallen
tree, where there was a little opening
in the undergrowth. We turned,
and looking behind, and saw a large
Silver-Tip bear jump on tho log Borne
10 or 15 foet from us. We both jumped
to escape down thc hill, but Bayne's
foot caught a bough and he fell by the
side of tho log. I got about 40 feet
away whon I knew that the bear had
attacked Hay ne. Wo had no weapons
of uny sort and wo had very little time
to have used them. The bear having
passed on, I returned to Bayne at once.
Ho was quite conscious, but bleeding
profiisoly, and said whon he fell thc
boar jumped upon him and bit his
hand and face and head, and also clawed him, but though perfectly conscious,
he lay without lllnching or attempting
a defence and the bear passed on after
lingering but a few seconds and evidently feeling assured that no harm
could do suffered by the cubs from that
source, and thinking no doubt of fetching the cubs to partako of a meal.
"I roturned to my partner," said
Kennedy, "and found him badly lacerated and I was afraid of him bleeding
lo death. 1 bound up his wounds as
well us I could, and he having expressed a desire for water, we walked
to the oreek, 1,500 feot below. I asked
Bayne to wait hero till I got a horse to
convey him to camp, but he Insistod on
walking with me and we reached camp
about 7 p. m., and wero rejoiced to find
Captain Davey and Jas. Curry had ai-
rlveJ during oui- absonce. We again
li mild up the wounds and at 5 the next
morning wo mounted horses and rode
through to the Ferguson hospital wlth-
o.it, resting, and  nrrivod at 2:30 p. m."
Kortnedy says Bayne's fortitude and
splendid nerve was remarkable, and
though ho must have suffered intense
agony during tho 9i hours ride, he
never murmered except to speak of his
lacerated hand.
CONDITION OF PATIENT.
Mr. Bayne arrived at the Lardeau
Miners' Union hospital at 2:30 p. m.
Wednesday, and under chloroform it
was found that the left sido of forc-
hoad and face are torn away, laying
bare facial musclosand bone; left eyelid
and eyobrow lascerated and torn; left
ear torn to pieces; scalp from forehead
to nock literally torn and chewed to
shreds, ono large latsoration extending
from loft eye to left ear and around
back of head to near right ear. Mr.
Bayno remembers distinctly that this
latter wound was caused by a blow
from the bear's paw. Tho right hand
is badly chewed and bruised. Thero
are no signs of "fracture of base of
skull," although slight symptoms of
intracranial hemorrhage are present. Mr. Bayne is very weak from
shock, loss of blood and his long journey after the accident.
Mr. Bayne is a well known and well
to do mining man. He is one of tho
principal owners in tho Homestake of
Rossland, as well as being president of
the company. His relatives live in
Halifax, N. S., to whom particulars of
tho accident have been wired.
Mr. Kennedy returned to the Jewel
this morning to continue the operations that'wore under way.

Are Developing Our
District's Resources.
G. B. Manross and Gus Peterson returned Tuesday from doing assessment
work on their property near tlio head
of Macdonald creek. Tho showing is
even better than last year, and they
left quito a lot of oro on the dumps

There aro four claims in tlio group,
through which run two strong leads,
and work has boen done on both leads.
The oro is high grade, averaging ovor
$100 to the ton.
Mr, Peterson spent the summer of
1807 in the Lardeau, when ho and Mr.
Manross staked tho above property.
Sinco then ho has superintended a
mine In tho boundary for live years,
but last year ho prospected in California. Ho says Lardeau has developed into the best camp that ho knows,
and ho expects to stay. Ho will take
a run down to Poplar creek and see
what is there. Mr. Manross hopes to
got his family moved to Forguson very

ltclatlveRTHkea Ltl.t Glnnco,
In Rome, July 21, thero was a scono
at tho Vatican when tho nephews of
the pope with their families entered
the death chamber to take a last faro-
well of their uncle, for whom they had
an intense reverence. The elders woro
dressed in black and the children in
white. As .they entered the young
children, awo-struck and frightened,
began to cry at this, their first acquaintance with death, but the beauty
of tho scene soon quieted them. Tho
littlo party advanced on tip-toe and,
circling around the bed, fell on their
knees and joined in thc prayers of the
penitentiaries. The whiteness of the
children's gowns added a pleasing note
to tho rather highly colored scene,
Presently the visitors aroso and
slowly filed past the bed, kneeling to
kiss the dead hand as they passed.
Count Camlllo, one of the nephews who
knew him best, accompanying him al*
ways when he went into tho gardens of
the Vatican, was quito overcome, moro
so, in fact, than at any time since his
uncle's death occurred.

Women Il.toi-luratlng.
Halifax society women aro in a Hut-
tor over tho sensational charges mado
by the Rev. W. J. Ancient,who proach-
od at St. Luko's cathedral, the fashionable church of Halifax, on Sunday
night. Mr. Ancient said that ho was
informed that women���ho was going to
say ladies���who came to church and
approached tho Holy Communion with
an appearance of sincerity and humiliation, went on tho golf-links next day
and swore liko troopers.
"What arc wo to expect of men now,"
said tlio preacher, "when women look
upon profanity as tho correct thing'-''
The Halifax Golf club is ono of the
most exclusive institutions, and numbers among its members only thoso
prominent in the smart sot of tho city,
as well as army and naval circles. Several members belong to St. Luke's,
and tho preacher's charges havo made
a great sensation. Lady golfers are
highly indignant, and a delegation from
them waited upon Mr. Ancient and demanded a retraction. This Mr. Ancient
declined to make, and reiterated what
he had stated in his sermon.
In an interview later, he further
stated that Mr. Van Dean lind told htm
that ladies uot only swore but smoked
at the golf links.
Miss Mill, r Wedded.
Reports from Atlin toll of tho marriage on tho 7th inst. of Miss Miller,
daughter of Munroo Miller, to Mr. O.
K. Bourne, formerly of Now Westminster. Miss Miller has been teaching
school in Atlin, and Mr. Bourne has a
prosperous tlrug business there. The
trustees tlie Atlin school aro seriously
contemplating securing a gentleman to
toach the youth of tho camp, as they
are unable to hold any young lady who
has boon brought in. They quito approve of their citizens settling down
and securing the comforts of a homo in
the charming surroundings of Atlin,
but they do uot favor the idea of running a matrimonial promotion bureau,
as tho results of their efforts to keep a
school open so far have turned out. Mr.
ami Mrs. Bourne tiro vory popular in
Atlin.     	
A Hard Diet.
Dr. Monnier of Paris, has just reported to tlio Academy of Medicine the
case of a young mar. with an extraordinary stomach. Ho entered St. Joseph's hospital on May 10th, suffering
from severe pains. A hard body was
felt in his stomach and lie was operated
upon on Juno 25th, when the doctor
extracted eight teaspoons, a three-
pronged fork, a sharp pointed four-inch
knife blade, a key, a long tootli comb,
and other articles, altogether 25 in
number and weighing half a pound.
The young man is now recovering.
Ho states that he tried suicide this way.
Death Mank Taken,
A death mask of Leo X1I1 was takon
on the 21st by Coratnondatore Galli,
director of the Vatican Museum. Tho
delicate work was successfully executed, and the re.ult is considered highly
satisfactory.
The viscera of Pope Leo, which was
today placed iu an earthen urn nud
provisionally deposited in tho crypt of
St. Peter's was removed at midnight to
a magnificent urn, whieh, carried by
Mgrs. Maiv.olina and Augeli.was taken
in a Vatican carriage to thc Church of
St. Vincent Anastasius. The carriage
was met at the door of the church by
priests carrying torches.
The viscera of all the Popes, excopt
Pius IX, havo been deposited iu this

Conservatives Sweep the
Province���Roblin Government Returned by
a Large Majority.
The result of the Manitoba elections
held on tho 20th inst., so far as tlie;.
are known to date, show that the government of Hon. R. P. Roblin has
made almost a clean sweep of the pro-. ���
ince.
Thc figures are: Conservatives .'10,
Liberals 4, doubtfuls 4, deferred elections (Swan River and Gimili) 2. Total, 40.
Thero has been a cyclone among the
Liberal candidates, and especially
among those who attempted to humbug tho electors by masquerading a:
Independents. Every conspicuous Liberal, with the exception of Crconway
himself, has been turned down, including J. D. Cameron, at one time attorney general in Greenway's cabinet,
who lost oy a sweeping majority tu
,1. S. Gut-don; A. C. Fraser, at Bra'*.*
don, who has been boomed as Green-
way's successor; E. Brown, mayor of
Portage La Prairie; J. D. Hunt, In
Norfolk, and Dr. J. A. Macarthui- In
Centre Winnipeg.
A contrast is shown by the present
ministers, all of whom havo boen returned, in most cases by record majorities. Premier Koblin and the Hon
Mr. Rogers head the list by majorities
which are phenominal.
Tho returns aro necessarily incomplete, but even if the four seats, Carol-
ion, Gilbert Plains, St. Andrew and
Kildonan and Virden, whero the result
is at present doubtful, should go liberal, together with Gimili and Swan
River, the government's standing now
would be 30 to 10.

DISTRICT WORKS.
The Eagle is in receipt of a communication from H. McPhcrson,
the district superintendent of roads,
stating lhat the trail from Ferguson up the Great. Northern mountain has been repaired, and also
that the Eight-Mile wagon road is
receiving the best attention that can
be given it with the men that are
available.
We are glad of this assurance
from the superintendent of works
lor this road and trail in particular
are the ones to which the Eagle
saw fit to direct attention a fortnight since.
We have visited the trail and
road in question and find things in
pretty good condition, the road to
Five-Mile especially and the bridge
across the Lardeau below Ferguson
having both been given good attention in the past two weeks.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Tlie magnificent. victory of the
Roblin government in the province
of .Manitoba at the polls oh the
Joth inst., is significant of the trend
-if public opinion in the west,
About 189*) iho electors all over
Canada showed a falling off from
the ranks of the Conservative party
and in the general Dominion election of 1S96 the country was found
lo'have gone overwhelmingly Lib-
oral. For a lew years everything
went smoothly, but for the past two
years one cannot but have noticed
lhe change in public sentiment; a
condition very nearly akin to that
which existed immediately preceding the election of 1896. Now
province alter province is getting
more conservative and the signs
point to another great turnover at
lhe general elections that will in all
probability take place at the close
of the present year.
Within the past 12 months the
l.nuiier government have lost two
of Iheir cabinet ministers in Hon.
J. I. Tarte and Hon. A. G.Blair.
This means something, and if one
will but stop aud read between the
lines it will be seen that something
is very wrong, lor these two strong
men who did so much to enable Ihe party to gain power, to
have dropped out. It looks as if
the party is falling to pieces. Therefore it cannot be expected that the
rank and Hie would do otherwise
than lose confidence and return to
Iheir old friends, the Conservatives.
that were carried out at first, have
since.heard them corroborated by
the most reliable persons and have
come to place confidence in the extent and richness of the new field.
That camp will make a name and a
record before long. v
The unfortunate accident that occurred Tuesday on Hall creek,
shows how unsafe it is for men to
go about in the mountains at this
season of the year without carrying
firearms. One is liable to find
themselves between a bear and her
cubs at any time and in almost any
place, and when such a thing occurs the bear is sure to prove aggressive.

much advantage to trade and commerce.
:l. That to encourage the mining industry,
