One OF the most exciting hurts had

Pacheco and his riders took q station

the return OF the huge grizzly that

He came back about A. o'clock. and
when he was fairly upon the top OF
the elf the four lassos whirled and
the bear was caught They. were
never more successful Ia a first effort.
The four lassos were thrown as II
directed by one hand. Each paw was
caught but the bear was greasy from
his seal-fceding. and one lasso after
another slipped OF. on course In such
hunting each rider has two or three
lariats In reserve. As the lariats
slipped of the bear charged. TO pro-
tect themselves 1t was necessary To
throw new ropes and upon the instant.
This fight kept up for nearly an hour,
when the bear and his hunters both
gave up the contest. lie was too
slippery TO be held, but the persist
ence OF the hunters had 80 dauntcd
his spirit that he was very glad TO
run off at the last when the hunters
became convinced that 1t was
hopeless ease. Nh. Pachoco has
killed many grizzlies. In one instance
he had u very narrow escape. This
was when he was riding along upon
the dry bed OF stream. The grizzly
he was after was thirty feet below
him. As proof OF the wonderful
agility OF this animal. Mr.. Pacheco
says that this particulars bear. without
the slightest warning OF attack,
bounded from the bed OF the stream
clear and clean 10 the flank of his
horse. II was the sudden bolt OF the
animal which saved the rider. Tho

bordering upon these woods are small
farms. Ii Is these farmers
who tell the story OF the

few days ago. 1t Is probably
as near New York, with one excep-
ton. as panther has been killed In
the last fifty years. For two months
past Ii has been killing and devouring
sheep aud cattle. and even attacking
horses and cows which were left out
In the fields, growing so bold as to
enter barn yards at night. This Is the
second panther which has been killed
In the neighborhood. Ii was during
the latter part OF October that the
panther first made his appearance. A
farmer over on the New York State
side missed calf from his barn yard
one night. and the tracks OF the wild
visitor were plainly traced. The fol-
lowing night anotqer calf was missed

pcared, and he could hear IL crushing
through the brush. One of Farmer
Williams best cows was dying in the

animal were followed up into the

panther's depredations became so ex-
tensive that the farmers banded to-

week bands OF hunters were out
nightly. Their hunt was brought to
"a successful termination last week by
the death OF the animal. II was shot
while making It's way TO It's lair on

SEVERELY
A Section Boss Slsshed In the Left Arm
by n Squaw.

ny n SYuaW.
J, Bcckman, a section foreman on the
Montana Central railway. was stabbed
by a squaw at Sun River bridge Monday
eve. From the meager particulars that
could be learned of the affair it seems
that::the attack was without the slightest
provocation and that the squaw wa
mistaken in her man. At all events
Beckman received a severe cut in the
muscular part Of the left arm between
the shoulder and elbow. Immediately
upon receiving the wound Bcckman
struck out at a lively gait for Great
Falls to seek medical aid. He reached
DR.. Gordon's office in a fainting condi
ton and where, with the assistance of
DIR. Wcitman, his wounds were properly
attended to. The cash is an ugly one.
which severed the arteries of the arm
and is about s!v inches in length. The
physicians do not apprehcn1 any serious
results from the stab if Bcckman takes
any care OF himself. Sheriff Hamilton
and Marshal Treat left about midnight
for Sun River bridge and arrested the
squaw who did the cutting. She will
probably have a hearing today.
