miles from camp they heard the bay
ing OF hounds hot on the trail of game
They waited and soon the entire hunt
ing party rode up. It was time TO Quit
for the day and Secretary Loeb and
Chapman Joined the president and his
companions and rode into camp with
them. The hunting party had been in
the saddle ten hours without stopping
for lunch, so dinner was served soon

the best of health and enjoying them
selves
Story of the Bear.
During the dinner. and afterward the
president and Mr.. Loeb had a long
visit Naturally the secretary wanted
TO know all about the bear killed. It
was an interesting story i'm which all
members of the party shared in the
telling The dogs had several times
caught up with bear and had annoyed
him until he was in a vicious mood
Finally when he was at bay two or
three members of the party, including
the president, came UP with the dogs.
One dog had been killed and several
others badly wounded and the grizzly
was playing havoc with the others that
were tantahzing him. To save the
dogs the president had 10 shoot hur-
Tiedly.
Every sweep of the bears paw bowl
ed over a. hound and rather than see
any more Of the pack killed, the preSi-
dent took the chance Of shooting be
tween the dogs at the bear He fired
once and hit the animal in the shout
der. Firing again. he killed his game.
He takes great pride in the first trophy
of the hunt
Appointments Signed.

the president and his secretary was in
relation 10 appointments that have
been made. The president signed the
appointment Of George Watkinson of
West Virginia. to be judge of the court
