Fiend Tantaiizes fiend.
Shield took a fendish delight In teasing
Bear, whom he regarded as a heartless
wretch who had wantonly killed two men,
while he, Shield. had killed only a squaw.
The night before Shield was hanged he
talked with Bear and worked him into a
fine frenzy by painting the horrors OF
death by the rope.
After Walking Shield was hanged Bear
asked Judge Garland to set an early date
for the hanging, as he feared the sus-
pense would weaken his determination to
die game. Then he became religious. He
was an Episcopalian and several times a
clergyman OF that faith visited him. The
Salvation army often held meetings at
the jail and Bear Joined with ferver In
the services. He apparently became re-
pentant and when he made his VIII he
gave q half section of land to his wife
and requested that In the event of her
death the property revert to John Shaw,
jr., the son Of the man whom he had muir
dered.
1t is said Bear had the greatest respect
for the wife of Shaw and she in turn
evidently regarded him quite highly, al
though he had wantonly killed her hus-
band 1t Is related that a day or two
after the trial at Sioux Falls, where she
had appeared as a witness against him,
the woman came to the jail and gave
Bear $40.
A Lovely Present.
Take this money and buy yourself a
nice suit to be hanged in; goodby," she
said In farewell.
Bear appeared much affected by this in
oi1ant and ~ ia IfkaIU this had gnmpthtDR
to do with his willing his property to the
son of Shaw.
George Bear was 81 years of age, about
8 feet tall, well formed and an Indian OF
good appearance. Old pioneers say the
murdered bore a striking resemblance both
In personal appearance and in character

desperate who was hanged at ankto
during the territorial days.
