HUNTING THE GRIZZLY.
An Interesting Sketch of Some
what Dangerous Adventure.
The Grizzly Bear In His Native Hins and
Haunts-HIs Nature aud Habits
How He Is Tracked and
Killed.

MIR. Theodore Roosevelt, a gentleman
well known to the social and political
life OF New York, contributes to the
Century highly interesting sketch o. a
trip to the Big Horn Mountains on
hunt for grizzly bears. He says:
A grizzly win only fight If wounded
or oornered, or, at least, if he thinks
himself cornered. II a man by acci.
dent stumbles on to one close up, he is
almost certain to be attacked, really
more from fear than from any other
motive exactly the same reason that
makes rattlesnake strike at passer-
by. l have personally known OF but
pne Instance of a grizzly turning
on hunter before being wounded.
This happened TO a friend of mine, a
California ranchman, who, with two or
three Of his men, were following a bear
that had carried OF one Of his sheep.
They got the bear into a cleft in the
mountain from which there was no es-
cape, and he suddenly charged back
through the line Of his pursuers, struck
down one Of the horsemen, seized the
arm Of the man in his jaws and broke 1t
as II Il had been a pipe-stem. and was
only killed after a most lively fight. in
which, by repeated charges, he az one
time drove every one Of his assailants
of the field
But two instances have come 20 my
personal knowledge where man has
been killed by a grizzly. One was that
of a hunter at the foot Of the Big Horn
Mountains who had chased large bear
and finally wounded him. The animal
turned at once and came straight at the
man, whose second shot missed. The
bear then closed and passed on, after
striking only a single blow;. yet that
one blow, given with all the power Of
its thick. immensely muscular forearm.
armed with nails as strong as so many
hooked steel spikes, tore out the mans
collalsbone and snapped through three
or four ribs He never recovered from
the shock, and died that night.
The other instance occurred, two or
three years ago, TO a neighbor of mine,
who had small rapch on the Little
Missouri. He was out on a mining
trip, and was prospecting with two
other men near the headwaters of the
Litiie Missouri, in the Black Hills
country. They were walking down
along the river and came to q point of
land thrust out into II which was dense
" covered with brush and fallen timber.
Two Of the party walked round by the
edge OF the stream, but tho third, a
German. and very powerful follow,
followed a woll-beaten game-trail lead
ing through the bushY point When
thoy were somo forty yards apart the
two men heard an agonized shout from
the German, aud at the same time the
loud coughing growl or roar Of bear.
They turned lust IN time 70 SEQ their
companion struck a terrible blow on the
head BY q grizzly, which must have
beon reused from its Lain BY bis almost
stepping on Il; 80 close was Il that he

Pork.

There are two kinds Of pork one Is
meat and the othor is lard. and In
choosing the breed OF hogs or pigs and
the method OF feeding for his purpose
the farmer must make proper choice
Pork Is in demand for foSd, and for
food a man wants lean meat with only
a right proportion Of fat intimately in
terspersed among IL II Is also in
demand for lard. and the lard manufac-
turer wants a pig with no more muscle
than will serve TO carry around the
load OF fat. For bacon and hams The
pigs are fed upon grass or clover in
large part. and upon Matchmaking
materials. Tney must also have age
and size for lard the pigs are crowded
with corn and slaughtered At the eDd

Since the arrival of the colored troops Thomas Is Tn the possession of as fine a string band as can be found in Arizona.
 Mir. and Mrs. Glasby, of Stafford, and Mir. and Mrs. BolaD, of Solo knoxville, visited Thomas during the past week. MT. Glasby is in very poor health.
 Mir. Sims, our efficient telegraph operator, was one of the first on duty at the late outbreak. On finding the line open between here and Apache, he suspected the cause, and immediately, with a detail, proceeded to repair dam ages. He returned in safety.
 In a quarrel over gambling debt, Wiley Box and B. Manoil exchanged several shots, without serious results. Manoil, who, il is said, was the aggressor, imme- diately fled, and has not since been seen. A young man in the employ of H. R. Barry was ar rested and placed under bond for lending the pistol with which Manoil did the shooting.
 On the night of the 18th ult. the Indians stole from Frank Storey's ranch, near Black Rock, five horses and very valuable stallion. They also killed horse belonging to Mir. Hastings and stole several, number yet un- known. The Indians were also seen at Shot-Gun Smiths ranch, near Cedar Springs. but did no damage. Messrs. John and Perry McMurren have returned from their ranch on Eagle creek. They report seeing several trails, ap- parently leading from San Carlos.

From SolomonviIle.

The great question of the day is the Indian war, but we do not get news enough, and what we do get is sad in the extreme, such as the Indians killed so many here and so many there; but we don't hear what the troops have done, only "they are in hot pursuit, two hours behind" They don't catch them, however, for the Indian will travel 130 miles in two days, as per report of Gen. Crook, whereas the troops will march fifteen miles day, if they are "going to the war" Three years ago the troops from Fort Wingate to Camp Apache made from twelve to-tifteen miles a day, but when the war was over," they made St. Johns, a distance of seventy miles, ln two days, and were on the march next morning before sun rise.
 I approve of the tone of the CLARION on the Indian question. The people should have a voice in the settlement of this vexed matter.
 Mir. Milford A. Alfred met with heavy loss yesterday evening. While he was absent his house took fire and burned, with all his effects. His wife was in bed with young babe when it occurred, but with the help of two women who were with her she got out all right.

A Noble Record.

The Clifton Guards, under com mand of Capt. Ford, with seven teen men, struck an Indian trail at Horse Shoe canon, and made a splendid march after them to the mouth of Cave Creek canon, in the Chiricahuas mountains, and sent a courier to Capt. Thompson, Fourth cavalry, that we had them sure-a band of about twenty or twenty-five-and offered our serv- ices to the government troops to fight them in the canon and locate the exact position of them, and Capt Thompson said his orders from Gen. Crook were not to fight them in the, mountains. Capt. Ford made a noble record as an officer and a gentleman of the Clifton militia, and all the men who were under his command are thankful to him for his kindness and courtesy. I. CAMPBELL.

Last Sunday morning Ed Sheridan, who was in the employ of Ward & Courtney, near Dun- can, was found dead in a garden, evidently having been murdered The citizens first believed that he met his death at the hands of In dian scouts who were camped near there, but after investigation con cluded that some other party or parties committed the dastarly deed. Much feeling has been man. ifested by the people of that law abiding community. One Hughes, a partner of the deceased, Is under arrest, suspicion seeming to point toward him.

| Dy Our Specl6t OOrleSpOu0out- The trail leading up Chase
 creek from the Metcalf deposit to
 Garfield Camp has been worked
 on considerably lately by the
 Guthrie company.
 A survey is to be made from the Metcalf to the Alaska to de- termine distance, grade, etc, be- tween the two places, with the view of building a road.
 Messrs. McCrellis and Johnson. who contracted to get out ore on the "7.30" a short while back, were compelled to give it up on account of the flow of water running in.
 The Copper King, which is in the Metcalf group, is worked by contract by Messrs. Murphy and Mike Shea. They are getting out about eighteen tons of copper ore daily, and have SIX men in their employ.
 The machinery at the head of the Longfellow incline has been undergoing repairs. The incline tunnel is in 80 feet. It is going to be drove down to the 500-foot level, and a skip is to be run in it when completed.
 Parker and Whalen's outfit are at the Garfield. Prospectors have left the mountains, and develop ments of claims have stopped since the outbreak. Thus things will remain until a sense of se- curity is felt, or, at least, a more settled state of affairs.
 Work on the Alaska, Fl Paso, Tip-Top, Vanderbilt, Commercial, Morning Star and Ady Blum has been suspended, the boys deem ing it not prudent to undertake to work and watch at the same time for Indians. This step was taken on receipt of copy of Gen. Crooks cautionary telegram.
 The Metcalf mine is now in charge of Capt. Mike Kelly, re gently of the Detroit mine. The at the Detroit regret his departure, but those at the Met calf are rejoiced correspondingly. Under his courteous and undem onstrative regime, smooth sailing will be done at the Metcalf as long as he remains.
 The machine shop of the Ari zona 6 New Mexico Railroad, To- cated at Clifton, is in running order. Master Mechanic Boylan has all of the 20-lnch gauge rail way, jointly with the above road, under his charge. Planers, lathes and other machinery that go to make up a frst-class shop are in place, and quite force of me chanics are employed. The black smith shop attached thereto is a model of its kind, being equipped with all modern labor-saving ma chinery. Mir. Jerry Quinlan han dles the tongs.

EXECUTIVE DEPT. OF ARIZONA, !
 OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR.

 l Whereas, it has been reported to me, on what I deem relia, fe authority, that on or about Eli day, the 22d day of May, A. D. 1885, five persons in the peaceful occupancy of their homes, on Blue river, in Graham county, Arizona, were foully murdered, their bodies mutilated and their homes plum dered, the perpetrators of the deed being, as is alleged, a band of Indians with whom the United States has amicable treaty rela- tions; and,
 Whereas, I deem Indians as amenable to the laws, as are white criminals.
 Now, therefore, I, H. M. Van Arman, Acting Governor of the Territory of Arizona, by the power in me invested, do hereby offer a reward of S200 each for the arrest and conviction of the persons who committed these depredations and murders.
 And should fatal consequences to the murderers attend their ar rest, identification and proof that they were the guilty parties will be sufficient to obtain payment of the above reward.
 This reward, however, will not be paid to persons in the military service of the United States; nor IS it intended to give permission to go upon any Indian reservation, nor to in any wise interfere with the military authorities of the United States in the discharge of their duties. but is only intended to take such steps as are usually taken by the Executive Authority of the Territory concerning crim- inals.
 In testimony whereof
 l have hereunto affixed SEAL. my name and caused
 the Great Seal of the
 Territory to be hereto
 affixed.
