The King OF Good Wogons.

Mr.. A. A. Cooper and son, A. A. Jr., ar.
rived home yesterday from trip visiting
customers and friends through Colorado,
Wyoming and Utah. He reports trade
good in a general way all through the
mountain regions and especially in the
Cooper wagon, bringing home large orders
and one in particular that will amount to
over co car loads
The following clipped from the Denver
Times of the 9th speaks for itself:
Mr.. A. A. Cooper and son, A. A. Jr., are
registered at the Windsor, Mr.. Cooper is
the wagon king who manufacturers the
celebrated Cooper wagon, which has been
handled for the last sixteen years by Hon.
Henry Lee, proprietor of the largest
implement house west Of Chicago, aud who
has placed this world-renowned wagon all
over the state, and is to-day in the front
rank of every other wagon made on this
continent, from the fact in these years that
none OF the vehicles ever had a tire TO reset
or any other part to yield from good service.
Mr.. Lee will doubtless renew another
contract for a, least 500 to 1000 more of
this justly celebrated line Of goods, for in
them he has wagon that he can put into
any Kind OF use, whether it be farming,
trucking, freigh,!ng or ore hauling, with the
greatest safety and satisfaction of any wagon
that ever came to the Rock mountains, which
over 10 600 of his customers can certify to
who have put them to use.
Crotscr and Stewart have just received
three carloads Of the above famous wagons,
and are offering them to the people Of this
section at a price that counot be bca, by any
town west Of Denver. lfy you want wagon
and good one call on this firm and they
will give you satisfaction every time.

HOtchkiss.

From Robert Head, successful hunter
and trapper of the North Fork, l am indebted
for the following, he claiming to be an eye
witness of the same.
1t will put to shame some of the young
men who have spent long hours roosting in a
tree, while an able bodied bear stood guard
beneath, or have torn up the earth in a mad
stampede to get away from the same.
Near the upper end of the North Fork val
ley resides young lady, Miss Edith Ham
mond. Miss Hammond had young lady
lady visitor the past summer, a Miss Shaw.
The girls were daring riders, and like many
others reared on the frontier, were expert
with the lasso and rifle.
They heard so many stories of bear hunt
ing, they concluded to try their hands at it.
but their great ambition seemed to be to
catch their bear alive. They started out
days ago without making known their pur-
pose to any one, armed with rifle and lariat
apiece. They rode over the hills for several
hours and were passing little open park,
when, sure enough, they ran upon the object
of their search, full grown bear cub. He
was near the middle and in fine place to be
caught,
Bruin made break for the timber and the
girls dashed after him. Their ponies were
| thoroughly broke and when headed towards
a wild steer. pony or calf, knew nothing, ex-
cept to get alongside as quickly as possible.
And, although snorting with fear, they soon
ranged alongside, when the girls by dex-
ferrous throw succeeded in getting both
lariets over the bears head. True to their
training. as soon as the ropes tghtened the
horses surged apart and drew the ropes taunt.
Bruin growled and snarled aud chewed the
tightened ropes TO no avail. Finally he
gave up and laid down completely conquered
The girls then started TO lead their captive
home, one going ahead and the other follow
ing. They proceeded in this mpnner for Il
mile or more, when, in crossing little gully
the ropes became slackened aud bruin, who
had evidently been watching his chance, by
quick movement Of his handy fore paw
threw of the enc;rcling lariats and darted
into the bushes and escaped. Although the
young ladies did not get quite home with
their bear they have all the credit.
As an act Of sheer daring this is hard TO
beat.
