A BEAR STORY.
another Hear Assisted the Trapped Brute
In Carrying OF tho Trap.


In Carrying OF tho Trap.
Not long ago COW died in the vicin-
ity Of the Quinn ranch, near the head of
Goose creek, south of Wagon Wheel
gap, says the San Juan Call Prospec-
tor. 1t soon became apparent to Will
liam Quinn, owner of the ranch, that
the carcass Of the cow was being visited
by a bear of very large dimensions, and,
in company with Dell McCleIland, Mr..
Quinn decided to "sit up with the bear
and endcavor to get shot at it by
night. This was done, but owing to
darkness the bear was not killed by
shots fired.
AS the next resort, a large bear trap,
weighing about seventy-five pounds,
was procured 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 at 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 n small
track, evidently made by cub. The
trap, however, was gone, and with it
the eighteen-footp pole, and the disturbed
condition of the ground showed conclu-
s:vely 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 mark of
dragging either trap or pole.
Mr.. Guinp took up the trail, which he
followed eight miles without coming
upon the bears, trap or pole. At the
camp of Tom Carey, seven miles awa~,
that gentleman told how, in the night,
he had been awakened by sound as of
something walking, with an occasional
pause and heavy fall on the ground. as
though something had been dropped.
Having no gun Mr.. Carey sat up in his
tent the balance of the night and en-
deavored to keep warm by poking wood
into a shect-iron stove.
The trail was followed a mile or 30
further and then lost. In one place the
bears had passed through a heav-

moved a swath through the sGplings,
showing that the trap and pole wcr5
being taken along.
The natural inference is that thD
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 IL these parts, and Mr..
Quinn hopes 20 find it yet.
Latcr.--h man just in from the head
OF the San Juan reports that he passed
the benr. on the Pargosa road, beyond
SummitIill Jogging contentedly along,
each carrying one end of the pole,
while the old bear was caught in the
trap by the right front foot.

WASHINGTON, March % The entire
time of the cabinet today was consumed in
consideration of the Boring sea question,
Lord SaliSbury's reply to Assistant
Secretary Wharton's note insisting upon
a renewal # the modus vivendi forming
the basis for discussion. The utmost
reticence was maintained by members
of the cabinet, but it is believed Sails
bury's note was unsatisfactory. His reply
to its main point was not a decisive one.
There is also reason to believe he suggests
as a condition precedent to any modus
vivendi the United States should obliRate
itself to indemnify Canadian vessel own
ers IN the event of the decision of the
arbitrator against the United States. 1t
is said a reply is now being prepared in
which this government will stand by its
former position.

DURANGO, Colo, March pa strange
fatality seems to follow Engineer Whistler
even after death. 1t will be remembered
that Whistler was killed in a wreck Fri
day night near Glencoe. He had just re-
covered from injuries received in q rail-
road wreck. and this was his first run
since his illness. Yesterday his remains
we're started to his home in California.
The train had proceeded to a point called
the Hook" on the Mancos hill. when
suddenly the express car which contained
the remains broke loose from the rest of
the train. jumped the track and turned
completely over. The coffin containing
Whistler's body was badly damaged and a
man named Mack, who was escorting the
remains, had his leg badly bruised. The
coffin and express matter were transferred
to a freight car and the train proceeded
on its way,
