Chains, formerly Of Wilmington, Mary

/ Of October, while on hunting and trap

miles west of St. Cloud. .~Mr, -Lamoute
was his partner, and they had camped tenn
por.riiiy With s!r. J. N Dodgaoa on the
edge o. !. small lake west Of Reno On
the morning Of the 7th, I,amonte anu
Chef6as started aro,nd thu lakesin search
of game, while bod son went round in the
opposite direction, thus becoming separa-
ted. After hunting for some time, Mr..
Dodgson was approaching sthe<<phce where
all had agreed to meet, called, ard heard
a response, and saw one man waking on
the further side of the lake. i; He walked
on, and PRESENTLY observed an object NOV
ing gently in the tall grass about one hun
dred yards in advance. Surprising f ON
the col.r and motion that It was a badger,
he crept up softly until within fifty PAGES,
and still he was more and more convinced
that it was badger hooking towards him.
| He says no circumstances in the world
:; could have convinced him at this moment
that the object he saw was not badger
! sitting at Its hole, other than the sad re-
suit. Having approached near enough, he
took unerrine aim and fred, and immedi-
ately Mr. Chefins' dog jumped up and ran
off from the spot. This alarmed Mr.. Dodg:
son and hurryins up was horror stricken
to behold his best friend breathing his
last It seems that Mr.: Lamonte had for
gotten his hatches 1t some point, and went
back for it, while Chcffins laid down in the
tall, dead grass, with his head resting on
his hand and elbow, and having on a gray
:! WOODEN hat, thus met an instant death
] from the hand Of one who has been his
partner in business, and warm friend fol-
=, several years. Mr.. Dodsson is in great
+, distress Of mind from the terrible result
: Of tn II expedition. The tody was in.
tered near the source: of the North Fork
Of Grow River. ...."5>.< 7:3't."j !. u
