of a ranch near Minnekahta station on
the b & NJ. upon which he has a fine
melon patch. Two Of his boys, aged -
and l6 years, who were charged with
the duty Of looking after the patch, dis
covered upon their visit to the patch on
Wednesday of last week that a goodly
number of their choice melons were
missing, and noticing certain tracks
through the patch, they traced them to
a ditch or washout near by where they
and weeds, the missing melons. The
boys were satisfied that the robber Of
their melon patch was an animal Of
some kind, and in order to determine
what kind of an animal it was, and to
put an end to the further visits, they

and in case Of the animal putting in an
appearance to kill i on the spot. They
kept up their watch, and on Saturday
night the stealthy robber appeared in
the form of a large cinnamon bear and
proceeded at once to the special business
he had planned for the occasion. The
elder boy awaited a favorable opportun-
ity, when he raised his rife and with
