five BEARS ARE KILLED
BY PRESIDENT AND HIS PARTY
Big Record for Two Days Shooting
Party Camped in Best Bear
Country in Colorado

Denver, April pa Republican spe-
cial from Glenwood Springs last night
says: President Roosevelt's hunting
trip has been crowned with success far
beyond his expectations, or those of
the most sanguine of his guides. Three
bears were killed by the party to-day,
and two yesterday, one by the Presi-
dent, and one by DR.. Alexander Lam
bert.
p. B. Stewart of Colorado Springs,
one of the Presidents hunting compan-
ions, arrived here tonight, accompan-
led by Courier Chapman. They
brought the story of the hunt. The
killing of the three bears was tele-
phoned to them and they understood
that Mr.. Roosevelt brought down two
of them, but the details are lacking.
The party is almost snowbound in
its present location and no attempt
will be made to cross the divide. Fif-
teen feet of snow is on the ground on
the other side and any effort to reach
.Redstone would be futile. The hunt
ers are satisfied however, for they
have reached the center of what the
guides say is the best bear country in
Colorado.
being hunted, so plentiful, in fact, that
many are allowed to escape without a
shot being fired in their direction. Sew
eral fine skins have been taken, how
ever.
The bear killed by the President yes
terday was of the brown variety, not
so heavy, but furnishing a much finer
pelt than the first animal killed. One
of the bears killed to-day is said to
have been a grizzly, but this cannot be
verified.
Mr.. Stewart reached the Hotel Colo
rado at 8 o'clock tonight. He was still
dressed in his hunting clothes. He
looked brown and rugged and reported
that every man in the party is in the
best of health.
1t was within an area of seven miles
that all five of the bears were killed.
This spot is about sixteen or eighteen
miles from camp and every animal
gave the dogs and hunters a long
chase. All of them freed, which en-
abled the hunters to kill them without
further accident to the dogs. Thus far
only one has been killed. 1t was killed
by the first bear shot.
President Roosevelt is living in a
cabin on the abandoned Bum home
stead on the West Divide creek, quar-
ters that are remarkably comfortable
considering the character of the coun-
try. 1t is likely that the party will
stay there for the entire hunt.
News of the outside world is scarce
in the Presidents camp. Once in ev-
cry four or five days papers are sent
in, but these are twelve hours or more
old when they reach New Castle.
"The absence of information of cur
rent events is greatly felt by all, par
ticularly by the President" said Mr..
Stewart tonight. "But then he went
into the wilds to hunt and he has TO
make the best of it. We have been
living well. Supplies are holding out
well and now bear steaks will be on
the bill of fare regularly. No ice box
is needed up there to keep the meat
fresh. The camp is situated at an al
ttude of about 5000 feet and there is
deep snow on every side"
