the passengers, ak in number. including a
lady. The mail sacks were delivered to
him, when he carried them two hundred
yards out on the prairie and leisurely np-
propriated what he wanted.
While this scene was being enacted the
stage from Abilene for San Angelo came up
with seven male passengers Weapons
were called for, and man, who said be
was ranger en- route to Runnell's, loaded
his pistol, buckled on his belt, and held
himself in readiness to repel any attack that

Pine Creek Mountains has started the bears
down to tho lower levels. The miners will
have bear steaks and bearskin caps or over
coats, or the bears will have lodgings furn
ished for the winter in the tunnels and
prospect holes. Bears have increased great
ly in numbers in this State since the great
windstorm of january, 1880, which threw
down SO much timber and rendered the
woOas almost impossible in some parts of
lhe State, and preventing the hunting Of
bears with dogs. In some parts of southern
Oregon 1.-THE woods are full of EN-" A

County says there are more bears than hogs
In that county. He saw "neck of woods
out there called Packard's Home Market.
II appears that settler named Packard had
a lot of hogs running in the woods which
get fat on mast. He was asked what lie
.wae going to do with them, and said he had
"home market y for them, meaning a
gang of Cinnamon working near by. just
at this juncture the bears found the fat
hogs and killed and ate them all, and since
that time the place, which is Uttered with
ham bones and short ribs, has been called

costing him nickel. The reason is OBJ

around that stream. The owner of forty
acres upon which exists a spring thus has
free range, or pasturage, of several square
miles, and the State is out of pocket by the
operation. In illustration of this evil we
can cite one case out of thousand In q
certain township there are about twenty
five thousand acres of lind, but only two
springs. At $1.25 an acre this township
ought to realize for the State the sum of
S3l,25 But the land pirate knows that by
land Immediately surrounding the spring
practically becomes the owner OF twen-
ty-ive thousand. He therefore buys the
smallest subdivision which the law permits,
that is, forty acres around each spring.
For these two small tracts he pays 300,
and after giving 800 on account he is al
lowed twenty years in which to pay the
balance. That for which he ought to pa,
$3l, $50 hegets for 800. In other words,
the State hos been selling these water
