Williams. Constable Timothy Jones, Bpeclul Officer nrooks Uasa, and I.lv eryman James Wymbs are In a peck of trouble and "out" about $1 each. It was all the result of nilfpluced confi dence In the value of horse HeHh. About one week nco two horses were picked up on the streets by the police. The animals were g-lven to Mr. Wymbs for safe keeping until the owners would claim their own. Two days passed but the horses still fed upon the fat of the Wymbs brand of fodder. They were curious specimens of their kind. Ac cording to custom advertisements were placed In the city papers, begRinif that the owners would come with a halter. The ads cost $2.65. Wednesday one f the owners put In an appearance. He wanted his horse, a pretty animal with an Innocent whitty face. Mr. Wymbs figured up the expenses: For fodder, J2; for advertisements. $2.6.': total. $4.63. The bill was presented. Then there was a scene. The owner of the pussy-faced horse would not pay the bill. The horse was not worth It he sntd. "Well, what's the value?" nsked , Mr. Wymbs. "Two dollnrs." said the horseman, and the money, was paid. Hut the other horse remained and it was whispered that the money lost would be charged to the other account. The other owner came. "How much?" he asked. With a smile of sattafnctlon Mr. Wymbs made a little preliminary speech before announcing the amount. He told how well the horse had been kept, how fat he had grown, and how tenderly he had been cared for since he had been a boarder at the Wymbs barn. Furthermore, newspaper advertising was very expensive, especially before the holldnys. Then he presented the bill of $7.6S. "Why. Great Scott!" he said, "I paid only $5 for the horse when I llrst bought It." The horse still feeds unon the WvmbB old at auction. Officers of St. iirendon Council.

Scranton Sportsman, with lloer, lias an Experience on tho I'oeono. While hunting on the Tocono moun tain near Gouldsboro Saturday, Clem Marsh, of this city, killed a bear. Marsh was accompanied by Fred Hoey, the pigeon shot, of Hollywood. N. J. The men were separated by ubout thirty rods and were leisurely beating through the forest for partridges. Their two dogs, pointers, were working along ahead when one suddenly halted. He stood growling and with hair bristling and tall lowered, an attitude never as sumed In tho woods by n bird dog un less In the presence of big game or a dead body. Marsh was nearer than Hoey to the dog and tried to call him, but the pointer wouldn't budge. An ticipating the sight of something un usual. Marsh hurried toward the dog and as he ran heard a loud crashing of bushes and snapping of twigs. When he reached the dog, which was now greatly excited and barking furiously, three bears were seen by the hunter clambering out of a small hollow and up the mountain. He Substituted Buckshot. Marsh's gun was loaded with No 8 shot, a small charge even for b'lrd'i anl which would make about as much Im pression nn tho hide of a bear as would raindrops on the" surface of the ocean. He realized that If any of the game was to be killed, It must be done quickly; so he threw open the breach of Ii In piece, cast tho No. 8 shells hurriedly aside and slipping two shells of buck shot Into the barrels. This only occu pied a few seconds but the three bears were eight or nine rods away and scam pering at a lively clip. Marsh got a bead on one of the two smaller ones and let drive. Ills aim was good nnd brought bruin to the ground, where he lay writhing in agony. The chnrge had entered the back of tho neck near the bqse of the head. Un willing to take any chances of having only stunned the bear, Marsh fired the load In the remaining barrel Into almost the identical spot that received the first charge. The bear was then dead. Hear Rronsht to This City. The animal was brought to Scranton and nil of Sunday and yesterday the exploit was the oldef topic of conversa tion In gunning circles. Hooy was ns tickled as n boy with a red wagon. He left for New York and Hollywood last night nnd will be pardoned If he tells his friends how he and Marsh killed the beur. A Good News Item.

A merry Christmas attraction nt the Academy of Muelc will be Oliver-Byron 8U ported by Kate Byron and their ex cellent company In "The Upa and Downs of Life." The success of the piece, which was assured from the commencement, was partly due to the splendid effects. Tho farcical comedy part of the play consists of a very amus ing parties believing that they had cap tlsement in a newspaper, the contract ing parties believing that hey had cap tured respectively a lord and lady, whereas one Is a clerk and the other a servant girl. The fun over the situation is immense and contributes consider ably to the success of the play.
