LAssOED A BIG BEAR.
Remarkable Feat of Cow Puncher in
the Power River Country.

Deadwood, S. d, Dec. 27--Three cow
boys brought to this city today large
black bear, which they had captured
alive across the line in Wyoming. The
animal is a splendid specimen. Jim Mil
Ter, Jim Mccoy and Mont" Griffin were
the three cowmen who had the encoun-
ter with the beast. They were riding
from one ranch to another in the
breaks of the Powder river country,
when they CHANGED to cross the fresh
trail of a bear. They turned into the
track, and, after going mile or more,
they came up with bruin. AS soon as
the bear saw the hOrSemen he turned
around and made a run of three miles,
when he turned suddenly around and
showed fight Griffin got close enough
to throw a rope over the bears head,
but the animal snapped 1t in two in one
bite, and made off for another run. Nc
Coy's horse was frightened at the sight
of the animal, but, after blindfolding
him, Mccoy was able to ride up close
to the fleeing beast. Watching for a
chance. he threw his rope and landed it
around the neck and between the fore
legs.
Bruin came to a sudden halt and
snorted in range, which scared McCoy's
blindfOlded horse. The animal tore
down the draw at a lightning pace, but
came up short when he tried to drag
along the bear. Mccoy was nearly cut
in two while the horse and bear were
having tug. Griffin soon came up,and,
with a neat throw of his rope, he caught
both of bruins hind legs. The men then
went at the matter the same as they
would in tying up an unruIy calf. The
hind feet were tied over and back of
the head, and the bear was then rolled
and dragged wherever the cowmen
wanted him. They got a wagon from
Dutch jake on Cabin creek, and took
the beast to Sundance. Negotiations
We're made there with a Deadwood
meat market man, with the result that
the animal is now exhibition in the
front window of the shop in this city
He is a savage brute, and he intimates
clearly by his actions what he would do
to the spectators if he were on the out
side of his bars. There are a good many
bears in the cattle range northwest of
DeadwoOd, and cattlenfen are doing all
they can to get them wiped out.

FLASK GRANT USED,

COUNTESS IS TIRED.
American Woman Who Went to
Study Buddhism.

San Francisco. Dec. 27.-The Chron-
icle says;
Countess Canavarro, a convert to
Buddhism, has either found her new
faith unsatisfactory or at least her ar
dor to devote herself to an ascetic life
in the Orient has cooled. The mid-No-
vember papers of Ceylon, where the
neophyte went to study the mysteries
of Buddhism, tell Of her leaving the
Sangamitta convent, conducted by the
Buddhists. The Standard Of that place
adds:
THE countess finds herself in dis
tressed circumstances and has applied
to her friends in San Francisco for as
sistance."
The countess is the daughter of the
late Major McElroy, who died in Mer-
ceda about II years ago. Her mother
was Spanish and she was born in
Texas. She received her title through
her husband, who is the representative
of Portugal in the Hawaiian islands
Count A. De Canavarro is said to be
related to the royal family of Portugal.

not been that the army and navy ap-
preparation bills came after the river
and harvor bill, and that time had to
be given to pass them in order to avoid
sn extra session, the senators from the
west would have forced the committee
from the house to yield. There Is no

Senator Warren, of Wyoming, took
the burden of the contest and spoke Tor
over four hours. He showed by en-
gineers' reports and surveys the i'm
portance of the measure and how far-
reaching its benefits would be by re-
moving the cause of floods, through the
construction of reservoirs, and bring
ing the waters back into the streams
when needed for navigation, saving
millions of dollars which must other
wise be expended for levees and va
rious devices for controlling the flood
waters if they are always to be allowed
to come down without let or hindrance.

We the undersigned member of COM
pany, @ of the 1st regiment U. S. vol
unteers take pleasure in expressing
ourselves in favor of John O'Keeffe
who has received the nomination of the
republicans for mayor of our city. We
have this to say:
John O'Keeffe was first lieutenant OF
our company, and we served under him
for five months as commanding officer.
During this time we had every oppor-
tunity to discover any defects in his
character. We always found him to
be q gentleman in every respect and he
was Certainly one of the most efficient
officers in the regiment and was so re-
cognized by all the enlisted men and
commissioned officers.
If elected at the coming election, as
we have no doubt he will be, the peO-
pie of Ell Paso will never have reason
to regret their election. We as body
and individually will give Mr.. O'Keeffe
our hearty support for we believe he
deserves it. Some of US differ from
him in our political beliefs but in his
support we are united. Yours sincerely.

in the Senate. The House has, how
ever, learned its lesson this session,
and that the Senate is going to fight
for this appropriation in the future. Ii
the friends of Irrigation for the west

become as popular to advocate the de-

[laughter] and another for Old Man 8
Creek. No one pretends that any

preparations as those"
Senator Stewart and Senator Wilson
each made strong plea for justice for
the West, showing its vast talent re-
sources and the advantages that will
accrue to the whole nation from its de
velOpment. A humorous sally OF
Senator Wilson's created much laugh
ter when he said that the attitude Of
congress on this question reminded him
of the old lines:
1.-THE old goose thinketh, thinketh, thinketh;
The young goose blinketh. blinketh,
blinketh,
But the young goose never knows
What the old goose thinketh."
He said in closing: 1.-THE west is a
great country, Mr.. President. 1t has
a great future. There is Pacific as
we'll as an Atlantic seacoast. We are
commerce and trade that Is before US. :"
The vigorous contest made by the
senators from the west forced recon-
initial of the bill to the conference COM
mittee at about O'Clock of the morn
ing of adjournment, but the house COM
mittee refused to recede from its atti-
tude of hostility to the amendment and
the advocates of the measure deemed
it best to submit in this session to the
unjust demands of Mr.. Burton and his
confreres on the committee from the
house, rather than force an extra ses-
sion.
