THERE are people who live under

cured and set near the dead "critter,"
and the trappers went TO bed laughing
at the trick they had played on the
bear. The trap was chained to pole
eighteen feet long and eight inches
through the large end.
In the morning an examination Of the
premises about the dead cow showed
plainly that the bear and cub had
been there during the night. There
was large track, eighteen inches
long and six or seven inches wide, and
a small track. evidently made by cub
The trap, however, was gone, and with
it the eighteen-foot pole, and the dis
turbed condition of the --ound showed
conclusively that the bear had been
caught in the trap. The trail, however,
away from the scene, was only the
trail of two bears--there was not q
mark of dragging either trap or pole.
Mr.. Quinn took up the trail, which
he followed eight miles without COM
ing upon the bears, trap or pole. At
the camp of Mr. Tom Carey, sever
miles away, that gentleman told how

occasional pause and heavy fall on the

dropped.
Having no gun Mr.. Carey sat mp in
his tent the balance of the night, and
endcavored to keep warm by polxing
wood into sheet iron stove. The trail
was followed mile or so further and
then lost. In one place the bears had
passed through heavy quaking aspen
thiclset and had literally moved &
swath through the saplings, showing
that the trap and pole were being
taken along. The natural inference is
that the bear was caught in the trap
and had picked UP the same, with the
pole, and started for the hills. The
bear is an old offender in these parts
and Mr.. Quinn hopes to find It yet

under the leSdership of Crow-King,

bloody work was finished before ami

and. }his Victorious warriors hurried
forward to the hot encounter then go
ingon and the frightful massacre was
Completed.
Smiths men had disappeared from
the ridge, but not without leaving
enough dead bodies to mark their line.
About twenty-eight bodies of men be-
longing to this troop and other organi-
cations were found in one ravine near
the river. Many corpses were found
lscattered over the field between Gus
ter's line of defense, tho river, and in
the direction of Reno's Hill. These,
doubtless, were of men who had at
tempted to escape; some Of them may
have been sent as couriers by Custer.
One Of the first bodies l recognized
and enc of the nearest TO the ford was
that Of Sergeant Butler, of Tom
Clusters troop. Sergeant Butler war
soldier of many years experience sad
of known courage. The indications
were that he had sold his life dearly,
for near and under him were foU nd
many empty cartridge shells.
All the Indian accounts that leIsow
of agree that there was no organized
close-quarters fighting except on che
two tanks; that with the humiliation
at Clusters Hill the battle was virtually
over. 1t does not appear that the Ipdi-
ans made any advance TO the attack
from the direction OF the river. They
did have defensive force along the
river and in the ravines which de-
stroyed those who left Clusters line.

AS soonas Chief Gall had personally
confirmed Iron Cedar's report he sent
word to the warriors battling against
Reno and to flfe people in the village.
The greater CONSERVATION prevailed
among the families, and orders were
given for them to leave at once. Be
fore they could do so the great body of
warriors had left Reno and FASTENED to
attack Custer. This explains why Reno
was not pushed when so much con-
susion at the river crossing gave the
Indians every opportunity Of annihilat-
ing his command.
Not long after the Indians began to
show a strong force in Clusters front,
Custer turned his column to the left and
advanced in the direction of the village
70 near n place now marked as a spring,
halted at the functions of the rsvines
Just below it and dismounted two
troops, Keogh's and Calhoun's, TO fght
on foet. These two troops advanced Mt
double-time TO knoll now marked by
Crittenden's monument. The other
three troops, mounted, followed them
n short distance in their rear. The led
horses remained where the troops dis
mounted.
When Keogh and Calhoun got to the
knoll the other troops marched rapidly
to the right; Smiths troops deployed
rs slxirInishers, mounted and took posi-
ton on a ridge, which, on Smiths left,
ended in Keogh's position (now marked
by Crittenden's monument), and, on
Smiths right, ended at the hill on
which Custer took position with Yates
and Tom Clusters troops, now known
as Clusters Hill. and marked by the
monument erected to the command.
Smiths skirmishers, holding their
gray horses, remained in groups of
fours.
The line occupied by Clusters battal-
ion was the first considerable ridge
back from the river, the nearest point
being about half mile from il. His
trent was extended about three fourths
Of mile The whole village was in
full view. A few hundred yards from
his line was another but lower ridge,
the farther slope of which was not COM
manded by his line. 1t was here that
the Indians, under Crazy Horse, from
the lower part OF the village, among
whom were the Cheyennes, formed for
the charge on Clusters hill.
All Indians had now left Reno. Gall
collected his warriors and moved up a
ravine south of Keogh and Calhoun.
AS they were turning this fan< they
discovered the led horses without any
other guard than the horseholders.
They opened FIRE on the horse-holders
and used the usual devices TO stampede
the horses-that is yelling, waving

A NEW YORK paper tells of test
to which three men. suspected OF
knowing something OF the murder Of
a woman and her child in that city,
were recently subjected. The men
were Russians, and a friend OF tn o
murdered woman suggested to some
officers who were making an investi-
cation that there was q superstition
among the Russian peasantry that the
wounds inflicted by murderer would
flow afresh in case he subsequently
touched the body OF his victim. Act
ing upon this suggestion. the suspected
men in turn were compelled TO take
the dead woman's hand and to SOL
EMMY assert their innocence. The
paper tells how they each trembled
and turned pale and how each passed
the ordeal without being confronted
with the evidence OF guilt The SUI
perstition in question Is not confined
TO Russia; but it seems little out OF
place. in an enlightened country and
at this stage OF the worlds progress,

II would be interesting to know what
authority the officers had to compel
men to submit TO such test They
clearly took advantage OF the igno-
rance OF the men with whom they
were dealing. and If one OF them had
been guilty and a confession had been
thus wrung from him. it could not
have been used against him. The
whole proceeding was worthy of the
days when people were burned for be-

THE gift originated with those who
understood the biblical lesson that it
Is more blessed to give than to receive
and the real value OF the gift to the re-
cipient was not measured in any de-
gree by its cost to tho giver. The
gift to the bride was token OF af-
lection from tho friend who desired to
throw sunshine upon her life, and
git of Christmas was the gift of
cheer not only TO tho little ones
but to those who inspired the wish
to crown the holiday with happiness.
Business calculations did not enter
into gifts of any kind in the olden
time when gifts were sacred. The
rich could give much or little with
out being misunderstood or criticised,
and the poor could offer the humblest
tribute of affection or cheer and be
assured OF as generous a welcome as
the most opulent could command;
but gradually we have been degener-
citing from the sacred sentiment that
created gifts and have continued to
degenerate from ago to age until the
gifts OF to-day come largely from
heartless givers to heartless re-
cipients- Many Of them indeed are
unwelcome because, in the business
way in which gifts are now given.

value when an opportunity shall offer.

HAS not the time come when the
rising moral sense of the community
should grow so indignant at the con-
tradiction in terms of the idea that a
''vlrtue" can possibly have a fault "
as to scourge the mischievous lie out
Of the porch OF the temple. The mo-
ment supposed virtue runs over into
a fault that moment 1t changes its
nature and is no more a virtue. The
man who. plunning himself on his
strength OF will becomes tyrant in
his family, tramping down the individ-
uality of wife AMI child, is no longer
a character to be admired for strength
of will but vulgar tyrant to be de-
tested. Aud yet what quality OF hui
man nature, however praiseworthy in
itself is not perpetually exposed
through excess to the danger OF de-
generating into some such positive
vice. Sympathy runs over into weak
ness knowledge into pedantry. self
respect into pride, spontaneity into
