Z Ed. SPIRIT: Asthere are good many
persons in the neiehborhood of Rock

short time since about Mr.. Archer kill
ing his wife is untrue, and nothing .!
the kind was spoken OF here until it was
seen in The SPIRIT, copied from the No
Bile Co. Republican Mrs. Archer is at
home, enjoying good health.
There has been some emigration to
this community the past winter, but no,
so much as formerly. Land has advanc.
ed considerably in price in the past four
years, but the price is not unreasonable
yet. This is great tobacco producing
section, and is equally good for grain

TeAssJack has returned from a hunt
in the Sweetwater country with patty
of EnglishInen, and has had talk
about 1t with writer for the Spirit OF
the Times. There were seven in the
company. The game consisted chiefly
of elk, black-tailcd deer, antelope and
mountain sheep. No hostile Indians
were encountered The only dangef.
Gus brute in the West to hunt, Jack
says, is the bear. He is cunning, swift
and always ready for fight. He thinks
that the best place to hunt bears is where
there are not many to be found, and Of
the grizzly he says. "He will stand in
the middle of the road, growing and
getting his mad up. when there isn't q
live creature within forty miles of him.
If you meet one, and turn out for him;
he will probably leave you alone, but II
you say word look out for him. Many
time I have made some such remark
to a bear as Where are you going,
Tommy z when, in an instant, his arms
would be up and ready to tear me, to
pieces. -......s..
"No, sir, we don't go bear hunting
very much. ], You see, they can run as
fast as horse, and you have to put
bullet into just place to kill them, and
until they are dead they are dangerous.',
Jack, in conclusion, tells this story: az
was out once with o party in Texas, and
We came across big cinnamon bear
A fellow proposed to capture him with
his lasso. He made good throw, and
got the loop around the bears neck
When old cinnamon felt il get tight,
what do you think he didP He just set
up on his lunches, felt of the rope with
one paw, and then began pulling It in
hand over hand, There was q horse
and man fast to the other end of the
rope, but they had to come, both of
them. As for the hunter, be jumped
off and got away, but the bear drew the
pony right up to him and killed him.n {.
