PRESIDENTS SALUTE FIRED.
Nearly the entire population of the
Springs turned out to greet the Pres
ident. AS soon as he gotzoff his horse
the firing of a Presidents salute of
twenty-one guns was started. He
passed into the hotel at once and the
people melted away, as it was given
out that all would have an opportun-
ity to see and hear the President to-
night.
The pack train was the cause Of a
serious accident about mile from the
hotel. DIR. McAlester of New York,
who has been living at the Springs for
the benefit of his health, was driving
a fractions horse, which became un-
manageable when it saw the train
and dogs. The doctors vehicle was
overturned and he suffered a COM
pound fracture of the left leg above
the knee. Word was sent TO the hotel
and DR.. Lambert responded. He
treated the injured man as best he
could and ordered him brought to the
hotel, where a local physician took
charge of the case.
No other occasion has arisen during
the hunt for DR.. Lambert to use his

IN THE BEST OF HEALTH.
The President and all of his party
have enjoyed the best of health. Mr..
Roosevelt got the rest he needed and
says he never felt better in his life, and
he is looking as well as he says he
feels. He wears a thick covering of
tan, which is not particularly becom-
ing, but shows ruggedness.
The hunt has been remarkably sue
cessful, considering the fact that the
party had less than one week of good
weather. During the balance of the
time the hunters were huddled around
campfres, trying to get away from
the severe storms that made life in the
wilds anything but pleasant. From
Monday until Friday night ot this
week rain or snow. and sometimes
both, fell continually in the West
Divide Creek country. The moisture
froze on the trails and made them inn
passable most of the time. Regardless
of conditions. the hunters went out
yesterday and several bobcats were
trailed. All of them got away except
one that refused to tree and was
killed by the dogs. Not a shot was
fired by the hunters this week..
TEN BEARS ARE BAGGED.
Ten bears and four bobcats were
taken by the party during the fort
nights hunt. OF the bears killed the
President got four and DIR. Lambert
the others. Most of the doctors were
small and the half-dozen were referred
to by the President as Lambert's
dolly set. The skins secured by the
President are large and handsome Dr.
Lambert also got one fine skin. in spite
of the party derived from the yearlings
he killed.
