trip down into the territory. They had
good luck, and bagged lots of game.

came up. and catching dim glimpse
of the first man, mistook him for a
Cinnamon bear and l,nded load of
buckshot in his back. The man lived

ion to ship his body to Iowa and bury
it beside that of his wife, forg ave his

The person who furnishes items for
a newspaper is always valuable
friend to the editor. Many persons
hesitate about sending items to a
newspaper regarding the movements

them anxious to see their name in

kind, but on the contrary he is glad to
get such items. Many seeming unim-
portant notes, when printed are news
