GETS BEAR AND BOB CAT

wood Springs With official Papers
Secretary Loeb Goes Into the
Mountains on Important Business.

Glenwood Springs, April 19-Secre-
tary Loeb left here early today for
New Castle, whence he will go on
horseback to the Presidents camp.
Mr.. Loeb has taken with him num-
ber of documents which require the
Presidents signature.
Will Move Camp.
Charlie Penny's ranch, where the
hunting party is now encamped, is on
the east divide. The party will move
to the west divide Saturday or Mon

Kills Bear and Bobcat.
President Roosevelt has killed a
bear and bobcat He Is satisfied
with his hunt for the biggest game the
Rockies affords If he gets one more
bear or several he will be better
pleased, but to quote his own words:
Il got what was after. 1t was bully
sport and hope this keeps up"
The story was brought last night to
Secretary Loeb by Elmer Chapman, a
courier with closed mouth, who was
chosen to bear messages between the
President and temporary seat of the
government at the hotel Colorado in
this city.
While he came through Newcastle,
where are camped numerous cores
pondents Of newspapers, he brought
his story intact. There was no leak
age and all information obtained at
that place came from view of closely
rolled fresh bear skin which Chapman
transferred from his saddle to the car
at the railroad station
Is that all you've got" he was
asked.
!, Isn't that enough z, he replied. This
was about the substance of the conver
sation in which Chapman participated
at Newcastle.
President Good Hunter.
But if the courier was reticent at
Newcastle he was different when his
journey was at an end. Secretary
Loeb had removed the injunction OF
secrecy. His eyes kndled with a fire
that told his admiration for the Presi
dent. One impression which the hardy
mountaineer injected into his story
was: "Say, fellows, he's beaut ant
no mistake! The way he scents game
would make you think he was born ir
the mountains and had never left
them. Say, now, being President dom
make any difference with man that's
got the real stuff in him. Golf said he
was the real thing and did not neeG
showing, but did not believe it,
1t was late when Chapman finished
his talk with Secretary Loeb, SO the
story is necessarily curtailed.
/ According to Courier Chapman, the
President is taking the true sports
mans delight in the rough life of the
camp. He is one Of the first to be
stirring in the morning and always the
first to sit down to breakfast The fare
seems to suit him, although he has
said several times that he would bt
