PARTY SECURED THREE
Lanky Bob Killed Two Large
CinnamOns Easily.
Shot One at Arms Length on
Edge of Precipice.

San Francisco. June 1S.-Bob Fitzsim-
mons is undoubtedly man of extraor-
binary ability This fact is youched for
by residents Of Skaggs Springs, who
saw his triumphant return last evening
from a three days bear hunt. spent on
Geyser Peak, and heard the story of his
success related by a member of his
party.
OF the three bears brought home by
the party two fell to the unerring aim
of the ex-ehampion. One of those shot
by Fitz. a large cinnamon, weighing 600
pounds was killed a close range with a
pistol After two days without q
glimpse Of game the huntsmen visited
the Mulgrew ranch yesterday morning
and shortly afterwards the fun began.
The first bear jumped up was killed by
FitzsimmOns, who shot at long range.
The dogs next started q large cinnamon
on the edge of a preeipice, and there
the startling incident of the hunt oc-
cur-ea
Observed by the entire party from a
distance, but unseen by Fitz. bruin
made direct for him. Unable to under
stand the warning shouts of his com
pantOns, the Cofnishman becamee aware
of the animals presence only when they
faced each other with little more than
arms length between them. So rapid
had been the bears approach that F'itz
was unable to use his rife. but like a
flash he brought his automatic pistol
into play, and by it's use dropped the big
brute at his feet.

Los Angeles. Cal, June 18-Pitcher
Rube Waddell has not jumped his con-
tract with the Los Angeles team. He
left with the club for San Francisco,
where he pitches today. Last Friday
Waddell became dissatisfied and, with
out saying a word to any one, he slip
ped aboard the east bound Santa Fe
train with a ticket purchased to Phila-
delphia. Manager Morley was informed
of this. and entered the car and per-
.suaded Waddeu to continue his connec-
ton with the Los Angeles team. Wad-
dell does not say what the inducement
to remain was. but 1t is generally ac-
cepted that his salary has been raised.
When seen Waddell would not say
whether he will remain on the coast or
whether he would return to Chicago,
where the league has a call on his ser
vices.
