Tilamook, Ore.-Mrs. M. J. Cone, who lives with her husband at Nerarts, Ore., and who rents the Maxwell place at Netarts Beach, showed that she was a woman of courage and pluck in an exciting bear hunt. She was returning home from the Maxwell place alone on horseback and suddenly came across a large bear in her way. Mrs. Cone drove her horse at full speed to her home and, obtaining Winchester and a shepherd dog, returned to the place where she had seen the bear. The beast was soon located at the sheep corral, and, getting within close range of the bear, she fired her first shot, which broke the bear’s fore leg. The wounded beast made off on three legs. Mrs. Cone followed it up and fired again at close range, the bullet striking the bear in the nose and coming out at the side of the head. For some time the bear wallowed around, with Mrs. Cone and the dog after, it when it dashed off into the thick brush. This did not daunt Mrs. Cone in the least, for she followed as fast as her clothes would permit, some of which she threw off so as not to impede her progress. Every once in awhile she came up with the bear, and did not miss an opportunity to fire. For over a mile she chased her quarry in the thick brush and succeeded in hitting the animal four times. The dog, nipping at the bear’s heels, forced him to take to a log, where a desperate fight occurred between the two animals. The bear kept fanning the dog off with its paw. Mrs. Cone Fired at Close Range. Mrs. Cone came up and, at about 15 feet distance, took aim and shot the bear in the breast. The bear fell off the log and the dog jumped on it, when another savage fight commenced. Attacking the dog, the bear caught it by the mouth and broke its under jaw. Mrs. Cone saw that something had to be done immediately, with the dog under the bear and likely to be killed, so she approached with her gun while the fight was going on and placed the muzzle at the back of the bear and fired. This shot ended the battle. Mrs. Cone retraced her steps out of the brush and told her husband and others what had occurred. Out of nine shots fired seven had taken effect. The bear was a large one and when dressed it weighed 337 pounds.

Jealousy the Cause. A Husband’s Infatuation. Pathetic Recital. Other Kinfolks to the Rescue The jury decides quickly-- the guilty man not at the trial. ONe of the most remarkable cases in the criminal annals of this country has been recently been concluded at Atlanta, Georgia. All of the parties to the unfortunate affair are white people and residents of that state. It is evident that lawlessness begets lawlessness. As they have sowed now they are reaping. The Atlanta, Georgia Constitution in its issue of the 28th ult. Tells of the trial of Mrs. Willie Standifer, who was the self-confessed murderer of her own sister “We the jury, find the defendant not guilty.” That was the verdict reached in less than ten minutes in the case of Mrs. Willie Sandifer, who was tried in the criminal branch of the superior court yesterday for the killing of her sister, Miss Chappell Widenany on March 9, last. The verdict given at 4:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon was received in silence that was oppressive. The stillness was so intense that the breathing of people in the packed courtroom was audible. There would probably have been an outburst of applause if Judge Roan has not commanded that there should be no demonstration, no matter the verdict. He called to the sheriff to stop the jury, as it was about to file into the courtroom, and said. “There must be no demonstration whatever the verdict in this case may be. This is a courtroom, and I instruct deputies to arrest the first person who makes a demonstration.” That was why the verdict was received in such deep silence. The woman who sat near the prisoner, her sisters and her friends, dropped their faces in their hands and wept. Mrs. Standifer looked about her like a frightened child, and clasped and unclasped her fingers nervously. Last Chapter in a Pathetic Tragedy. The last chapter in one of the most pathetic tragedies that ever occurred in Atlanta had ended. A poor frail woman upon whom death is about to set its seal in “consumption’s ghastly form,” had been arraigned at the bar of justice for slaying her own sister. Her plea was that she was so goaded to desperation by her heartless husband, who had found in her young sister a victim for his faithfulness, that she became so madly insane that she slew her sister to save her from dishonor, and to protect herself and little child from the social ruin that must follow… Location Upper Left Quadrant Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Item Type Article Image No URL https://virginiachronicle.com/cgi-bin/virginia?a=d&d=RP19010209.1.5&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Topic Women Times Repeated Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Certainly the most sensational part plated by a woman in the civil war was that of Mme. Velasquez, a pretty young southern woman of Spanish descent, who disguised herself as a man and for many months served as lieutenant in the confederate army under the name of Lieut. Harry Buford, says the Chicago Tribune. In this capacity she took part in several battles leading her men with great fearlessness and skill and winning the compliments of her superior officers for gallantry on the field of battle. In the latter part of the war she was made an agent of the confederate secret service, and in various disguises spent months in the north, traveling repeatedly from New York to Chicago, Philadelphia and other cities. At one time she even succeeded in getting employment under the head of the United States secret service in New York city, and in that position was able to secure information of great value to the confederacy. At the battle of Ball’s Bluff she was in command of a regiment, and the men under her charge captured more than 100 federal prisoners. It was the scene of bloodshed of which she was forced to be a witness here that finally led her to give up active service in the army and go into the secret service, which, while quite as dangerous, did not lead her constantly into the presence of wounded and dying men. During the whole of her service she was never wounded though it is said that she often took greater chances than were necessary.
