SHE HAD MONEY TO SPEND. Visions of Iliches Appcnr to Chester County I'nrmers. Oxford, Pa August 19. Land own ers In the Big Elk Valley, Chester county, have bright visions of fortune as the result of a visit paid them a few days ago by a fine-looking woman, who introduced herself as Mrs. Huld Inah Moore, of Frederick, Md and gave them to understand that she, was fabulously rich. She said she wanted to start up a biff stock farm In the valley, such as she already had In California, Florida, Maryland and Virginia. After casting1 around she offered to pay $100 an acre for the farms of Ferdinand Wood, Joshua Mackey, II. A. Herbot and Dr. Qulnby, and said she would soon bo around with the money. Later she appeared at S, P. Gilllng ham's farm, near Coatsvllle, and asked permission to stay a couple of days, which was granted. There she again dilated on her plans and talked nbout stock-raising like a veteran. When she took her departure she told Mr. Gllllngham she would Bend him n cou ple of gallons of the best whiskey and his son Joseph a blooded Holstein bull for the entertainment. All with whom she negotiated are now waiting1 ex pectantly. , QATHERING OF HARLAN CLAN. Three Dnys' Iteunion of a Great Family nt Host Chcstor. West Chester. Pa., August 19.

GOT HIS PRIZE MONEY AT LAST A Two l)nys Tussle with n Ilonr nt One End nnd Old Pcto nt tho Other End of n itnwhldo Itopc--Ncllhcr Able to Get Iioose-'llruiu Tnmcd nt Lnsl. A Pltts'burg correspondent of tho Globe-Democrat writes: In one of the wildest parts of Potter county, Uvea "Old Pete" Miller, n great hunter nnd nn early settler of that part of tho state. Pete has killed scores of lear, deer and other largo came animals In his time, nnd helped to exterminate the la it herd of oik that roamed the Pennsylvania forests. He loves to tell of the days of long ago, when from the summit of any hill the herds of deer could bo seen grazing along the narrow vnlleys. One of "Old Pete's" best stor ies Is of his ludicrous adventuic with a big black bear which ho undertook to capture alive. It was In the nutumn of '73, some time In September, when he wnsfforccd to go Into partnership with Bruin and remain In the company of a shaggy enemy for two days. "It happened In this way," said Pete. "You see, I formed an acquaintance with Jim Davis, of York state, who had promised me $25 if I would capture for him alive a large black bear. I didn't ptomlse to get the boost for him; but said I would think nbout the mat ter, and let him hear from me later on. Well, 1 thought a good deal about the ofer, because times were hard and I wnnted to get a new repenting rllle, and needed the $25 real badly. FOUND BEAR TRACKS. "One day while I was out hunting for some good places to set some traps I camo across some monster bear tracks and followed the trail to a rocky glen, where two rapid streams met among ragged masses of sandstone at the foot of an Immense cliff. I found the tracks led Into a den, and the last two or three Impressions left on the soft clay convinced mo that tho fellow In tho hole was Just such a chap as Jim Dav is wanted. I said nothing, but wrote to Jim and asked him If he still had the $25 and wanted the benr. Jim wrote back right away, and told me that he wanted the bear real bad, and would give me $33 If I could manage to get him a good big one, and wound up by promising to come down in a few days and get the brute and take him up to 'York' state. "The Information made me feel as If I had that new gun right in my hands. I got a lot of strong raw hides, and begun to cut straps, and after I had about 35 feet of good rope I tied the pieces together carefully, and then tested the lariat by pulling on It as hard as I could. "The next day I took the rope and went down to the glen and began to set a snare for the bear. I made a slip knot nnd spread It over the entrance to the den, keeping It apart by means of small limbs and so arranging the supports that the loop would not tight en up on the big brute till he had his head and shoulders through It. Then I took the other end of the strap and fastened It to a tree trunk close to the hole. Next morning I came down to see what the results were, but was disap pointed to find that the bear had been caught In the noose' while going In and had gone beyond sight and sound with my rope. The end of the lariat was still attached to the tree, and when I gave It a hard yank I heard some In fernal savage growling Inside. I be gan to wonder what I was to do with the bear when he came out, and hav ing never captured such a large bruti alive before, I confess that I began to realize that there was a hard Job o'l my hands. But I needed $25 to buy a gun, nnd had to get the old brute ready for the market somehow, and I was not discouraged and begun to lay my plans. BRUIN APPEARS. "Having no Idea that the bear would come out very soon, it struck me that If I could get the end of the rope higher up the tree nnd securely fastened It would be Impossible for the beast to get away till he was reduced to a sub missive state through a long fast. By tugging a little on the line I managed to set about 11 feet of slack, and, tak ing a good hitch around my body so as not to Impede my nrms nnd hands, I began to climb the rough trunk of the hemlock. It was hard work dragging myself up hand over hand, but finally 1 reached the first branches and then had to stop, ns the line became tight. I cave It a hard pull or two, and was climbing again, when I was startled by a loud snorting, followed by a 'woof!1 'woof!' nnd out came Bruin, mad as a tiger, and ready to fight, anything In sight. I made all haste to get up high er, and was trying to get the ropo fast, when the cussed bear made a plunxe down over the rocks, and, as the Inrlat was still tied about my shoulders and chest, you can Imagine what happened. I wns Jerked off my perch and wont crashing down through the branches, breaking off big limbs, and the racket I made seared the bear so that he ran as If ho was Mire his end had come. He mado-sjralcht for the headwaters of;the Allegheny, with his hair land ing on end. and as I had no time to disengage mvself from tho rope and branch.es. jiii a a small log had income fnstefiea" Iu . coll of-the lariat, he had a hard tlme'dragglng the miscellaneous nssoitment of things at tho other end of his hbUetvand -soon-stopped to In vestigate matters a little and gel his breath. He sat up and began to look at me savagely out of tho corners of his wicked llttlo eyes, and then, seeing that he meant fight, I made up my mind that the $35 would have to be'earned hurd. I reached for my huntlng-knlfe, which was the only weapon I had, but to my utter consternation found that the belt containing the knife was gone, and, to make matters worse.my breech es, having no support, were dangling about my knees. The durned old lariat was twisted nil around me, so that my right arm wns useless. Hero was a predicament sure, and I felt os if that bear was going to ge me instead of mo getting the bear. The big old fellow was coming at me mad as a July hor net, but, fortunately, ho came on tho wrong Bldo of a sapling, which caught tho rope and held him back. I grabbed up my breeches with my left hand and began a war dance that would hiave as tonished a Sioux Indian. The rope wns strong and slippery, and the treo form ed a sort of snubbing block, and every time Bruin came near me I dodged around another tree and managed to get tho rope drawn up tight, so that the crazy hruto could not reach inc. THE FIGHT BEGINS. "Maybe he didn't get mad. Ho was frothing with rage and stood up on his hind legs nnd ripped the nlr with his paws like a, prize-lighter, nnd woofed nnd snorted till the woodpeckers nnd blue Jays flew awny In terror. I would have been glad to lly away, too, as fast as my legs could carry me, hut tied up as I was In that Infernal rope among a lot of rubbish with a big benr tug ging away at the other end of the line, running wns out of the question. "I felt then as If I really had no uso for the new gun nnd tho $35, hut It wns not the proper occasion to becomo sad-hearted, ns there was something there to face that was enough to make any man brave who had any desire to save his life. "I struggled to get the rope loose from my right mm, but the mnd old brute nt the other end kept tugging nt It like a sailor, and once when he hit the stretched lino with his paw the blow sent me spinning nround llko n top nnd made mo dizzy. "Flnnlly In his raving nnd ranting about the old fellow got partly freed from the trees and camo nt me like nn uvnlanche, but the log that had got twisted up In the rope swung around with grent force and hit him a thump over the head that made him groan with pain. He then tackled the log and knocked It silly In three rounds, nnd while the log was trying to take my part I ran around another tree with my end of the rope. We were only abut ten feet apart and brought face to face, and the way old bruin began to look mo over with such a comlcully curious grin on his face made me laugh In spite of my sense of extreme danger. lie lacked only the wards to tell me that I was a mean, cowardly, but highly original 'cuss,' but afraid to let go of tho ropo ond fight fair. He wanted to know what in the deuce I meant by getting both of us tangled up In an infernal ropo nmong a lot of branches, trees nnd logs. He began to spar at me and evidently wnnted me to come up and knock the chip oft hlsshoulder. Heopened his great mouth to show his wlcked-looklng teeth, and then I shook my left fist at him and shouted, "D you, keep off, or I'll smash your ugly old nose." It was easy for both of us to Issue challenges when we pould not reach each other, being kept apart by circumstances beyond our control. After swearing at each other In all kinds of languuge (for I want to tell you that If ever a bear uttered real 'cuss' words that one did), we both began new tactics. THE BEAR FOILED. "To tell tho truth, I had already real ized the seriousness of my situation and wnnted to get clear of the predicament In which I had been accidentally plac ed. I tried again to get the ropo loose nnd failing in that, owing1 to the con stant nnd malicious tugging kept up by bruin, I next attempted to cut thu lino between two stones, but the con founded rascally old fool of a bruts thought I wns going to hit him with tho stone I picked up, and he gave. mo a yank that knocked me sprawling1 against a tree, nnd then he came at mr with a ruh. I thought then that it was all up with ine, and my fate would certainly have been sealed, but the old fool got on the w rong side of a tree ngaln, and was checked bv thr rope while I was Jerked arcund like a rubber ball at the end of a string In March weather. In spite of my exertions to prevent tho additional calamity and disgrace I lost my trousers entirely. Just Imagine yourself In tho w lid wood3 tied to a big bear, with most of your clothes missing, and you can form some Idea of my feelings nt that moment. When bruin Eaw that I hod partly changed color, owing to the loss of my nether garments, he besan to examine me in a moit quizzical manner. "If beats believe In evil spirits that fellow must have thought I was the nrch-dovil of be.irdom sure. He cer tainly concluded that he wns hopeless ly hitched up with the worst of all hobgoblins. Hut his superstition, If ho entertained any, did not appease his wrath. I was getting madder and madder too, and while standing there half naked and shivering, I cursed my luck and hurled anathemas first at the bear and next at Jim Davis and his $3?, and wished them all In hades SIGNS OF DISCOURAGEMENT. "After n while the bear began to show signs of discouragement, and 'when he got a little slack would try to get as far away from me as possible. Then it struck me that about as wise a thing as I could do would be to follow him carefully In the hope of meeting an opportunity to escape. I had to go around a number of trees In order to unwind the ropo, nnd as I was ell tho time swearing at my beastly luck, the bear watched and listened and evident ly wondered what kind of an enchanter I was. AVhen I finally gave him more rope he begnn to leave slowly, but per ceiving me followlnc him, he got mad ngaln, stopped, sat up on his haunches and began to scold. "I kept my distance, always walking close to trees that I could us as inub lilnsr blocks In cus of emergency. Af ter we had stumbled along for se.ral hundred yards dragging tho pile of brush, and I took good care to let the bear do all the dragging, the old fellow stopped again and looking nt me close ly from head to foot, I Imagined I heard him say; 'Well, if you" ain't tho biggest fool ever I got tied to, I'll be d .' "We soon started again, and kept go ing until night came, when we got tangled up cgaln In tho trees nnd brush and by mutual agreement established a truce and lay down to rest. Neither one of us slept, and while 1 watched the bear tho old brute watched me, and all through tho night I heaid him growling and chewing, and I hoped and prayed that he would bo able to- chew tho rope In two and go about his busi ness. I tried to find some stones to use In hnmmeiing the Inrlat In two, but un fortunately not a stone could bo found. Then I followed the example of tho bear nnd began to rhew the line, but while I had it fast In my teeth the sur ly old brute gave It a whack with his pnw that loosened my Jaws in their sockets and broke some of my masti cators and caused me to substitute swearing for chewing mighty quick, GETTING A DRINK. "There was a stream of running wa ter within sight, and by gradually un winding the ropo I managed to reach It, and was quenching my thirst, when I'll be durned If tho old cuss didn't come down to get a drink, too, and be gan to wallow In the water; nnd ho managed to get the rope nround tiiotlt er tree, so that I was dragged uway from the brook before my thirst wns half quenched. While he was drlnk'm; I found a stone with a sharp edge, with which I could have severed the rope, but the suspicious old rascal enmo at me savagely when he saw mo plrk up tho stone. I backed out cf his nwcli and, taking advantage of the numer ous stones at the edge of the run, I he-i gun to pelt him with all my might. Being cold and hungry, I found tho ex ercise congenial to my uaturo at that particular time, and never did n pro fessional base-ball pitcher practice throwing with ns much zeal and energy as 1 manifested nt that time. The big brute became terribly enraged when any of the rocks hit him, and he snort- Connolly ! REMOVAL SALE. X CONNOLLY & 209 (HI TT CEM pm viMiy REMEMBER Tribune "Want Ads" are payable in advance.

I made up my mind that In case he got nt me he, would not have many teeth for masticating my body, and kept drlvln'g away at him fist ond furious. Finally ho got on to all my curves and managed to ward off oirery rock that came near him.

I led him to tho edge of a clear ing, to nn old path and followed the trail to a place just back of iny cabin, when I had placed some vegetables nnd corn bread, togather with a small keg of brandy, In n cave for safekeep Ing. The bear allowed me to enter the cave, but I was fearful lest he might fullow me In and end tho flcht. so I took care to make n hitch at his ond of the string so that he could not coma so near. Then I wont In, and the first thing I did was to take a big swallow of brandy. That drink of liquor did me more good than all the strong drink I had ever taken before or any that I have taken blnce. Then I found some potatoes, cabbage and turnips and be gan to carry them out. nruln scented the provender, and when I tossed hint a head of cabbage he devoured It raven ously and looked pleased.
