GERMANS FIGHT
FATAL DUELLO
NEW YORK, Juno 30.? Although
duelling is nominally illcs.il in Ger
many, details of a most remarkable
encounter, in which the preliminaries
were arranged by th state, are given
iu a cable from Berlin, which states
that Lieutenant Granier shot and
killed Lieutenant Zwitzers, near
Blankenburg. Zwitzers, although a
married man. with a family, tried to
kiss Cramer's financee, and a mili
tary court of houor sanctioned the
duel and arranged the fight. Two
companies of infantry kept guard at
the grounds. A locomotive and an
ambulance car were provided by the
state railway to carry the ? expected
victim to the nearest hospital. Ora
nier's first shot pierced his oppon
ent's lungs, and the wounded man
died in the hospital soon after the J
train got him there. Lieutenant Gra
nier will probably now undergo aj
few months' comfortable detention in
a fortress, the message declares.

recorder of Conrad district, with two

SIEEREi RIP BEAR
INTO MINCEMEAT
Hoar mincemeat, hide, hair and I
streaks and spots of blood mark the
place near Wortman where a care
less bear rolled down a hillside into
the midst of a bunch of transient
steers bound for slaughter in the
Tanana. Nobody knows whether the
bear intended to start something, but
he did, and he lasted quick.
Those thirty-five long and short
horned steers fell upon hapless ursus
like two and twenty football players
upon the ball. The air cracked and
split with wild bellows and dust rose
from tiie shock of hoofs, hides and
horns until in less than a minute the
cow-punchers couldn't see what was
going on except that there was
trouble.
Then the scent of butchered bear
turned wrong side out assailed the
breeze and those thirty-five hysteri
cal steers stampeded in all open ways
at once, bawling like phonographs,
and it took the punchers half a day
to get the herd together. The bear
never will get together again in this
world. lie is supposed to be dead.
The place where the big fight took
place was on the trail where it
scrapes the foot of a steep bluff. It
is not certain what made the bear
come down as he lifid no chance to
explain. He either lost his footing
while rubbering the beef herd, or else
took a running jump to stampede tlio
bunch in hope of biting off a porter
house steak. Anyhow he made a
mistake. The merchant who fell
among thieves in Palestine landed |
upon flowery beds of ease compared
to the experience of the Alaska bear
that fell among peaceful steers. The
swine that ran down a steep place
into the sea perished not more sud
denly.
This is the story that Scotty Dal
ton brings to town. He helped drive
the steers over the summit and saw
the whole show. The steers belong
ed to Harry Warren of Fairbanks and
were a fine, fat bunch, but they lost
weight for a spell after they met the
bear. ? Valdez Prospector.
