credible that domestic animals Of any
kind could possibly survive the long.
cold winter at that altitude. We found
the place and soon satisfied ourselves
that the young woman's statements
were true in every particular. There
was indubitable evidence that stock
had wintered there but there was no
solution Of the problem of how they
had been able to do SO. The only way
we could explain it was on the theory
that the horses, of which there were
seven or eight, kept the snow tramped
down for radius of fifteen or twenty
feet around the rendezvous in their eff
forts to find something to eat and that
the cattle had nosed about in their
tracks and had managed to pick up
enough moss and grass to sustain life
during the long and tiresome winter.
Spruce and other varieties of trees
growing near the summit OF the flat
tops" in the western part of the state
are very bushy and thick on their
windward side and present a sort of
hedge to the storms which come from
that quarter. So it was with the
clump of trees under which these
horses and cattle had taken refuge
and to that fact is due their preserya-
ton from the cold. which was unus-
ually severe there last winter, That
they were able to Withstand the snow
and zero weather for SO long a period
without anything to eat or drink al
they do is unquestioned by those who
have investigated the matter
The stock was seen moving about
near under the trees by the aid of a
field glass early in the winter, but they
we're so far off as to render their char
acter indistinguishable and they were
at first supposed to be elk which came
down from the ridges with the first
fall of snow on the southern slopes of
the fiat tops" They remained there
so long as to preclude the idea that
they were elk, but that they were do
mestic animals was not suspected un-
til the snow went off about the first
of July.
1t is the first to my knowledge that
cattle and horses have been able to
withstand the winter of such severity
at so great an altitude in Colorado,
and the fact is worthy of the attention
of students of natural history and
zoology throughout the country"

HORSES AND CATTLE THRIVE
ALL WINTER WITHOUT FOOD

Dali DeWeese, who returned home the
the mountains of Garfield county,
dozen or 80 miles from Glenwood
Springs, relates the following instance
Of the hardihood and vitality of some
range horses and cattle which, in some
almost miraculous way, managed to
live through the winter without pro-
lection or food of any kind save
little moss they were able to dig out
Of the frozen ground at an elevation
of 10,50O feet above sea level, despite
the storms and snow that beat upon
them almost necessarily for more than
four months. Mr. DeWeese said in
substance:
While riding over the range with
the manager of my Glenwood ranch a
few days ago looking up some cattle
which we desired to ship to the Denver
market, we were surprised to meet at
q remote and almost inaccessible place
In the hills a handsome youth about
twenty years of age, who supplied us
with the data upon which this narra-
i've Is founded.
AT first glance our informant would
have been taken for young man just
out from the East on a summer vaca-
ton. but on closer inspection the fine
1y chiseled featured, Jaunty figure and
small hands and feet would have
raised q doubt as to the truth of such
Q conclusion; at least it did with us,
and the discovery of braided hair,
neatly tucked under a sombrero of
regulation style convinced us that the

sex of the stranger was feminine rath-
than sc,liDa

sex of the stranger was feminine rath-
er than masculine.
1--WE subsequently learned that she
was the daughter of a rancher resid-
ing on the other side of the mountains,
eight or ten miles to the westward, and
was, like ourselves, looking after some
cattle which it was believed were graz
ing in that section of the country. She
told us that her sister was with her,
statement that was confirmed a few
minutes later by seeing her ride
through cluster of aspens a short
distance ahead of us. Both young
ladies' were dressed in masculine at
tire and rode their horses in cowboy
fashion, one of them without a saddle,
and how she succeeded in sticking on
the back of her pony going up and
down hill is a mystery to me.
"It was nearly noon when we came
upon the young ladies and we asked
them to take lunch with us, an invita-
ton they accepted, and we were not
long in arranging a spread which we

versation which followed, the young
lady whom we had first met modestly
told us that she was familiar with
every foot of the surrounding country
and that she had killed a big grizzly
bear near the spot where we were
seated few months ago with the Win
chester rifle she always carried with
her during her trips into the hills.
"The recital of her adventure with
bruin disippated the formality which
had existed up to that time and she
told us many little incidents of the
hills, which we found very interesting,
as she was a master of the intricacies
of woodcraft and of the skill of the
mountaineer. We were SO much
pleased with the frankness and SINGER
| ity of the story that we induced her
to pose for her picture, a thing she
was very reluctant to do. After con-
siderable urging she put on my hunt
ing coat and | took "snap-shot' at
her with my kodak.
AS soon as an opportunity occurs
expect to write a story for one of the
popular magazines of the country, re
counting the killing of the bear by
the young lady, and will use the pic
| ture of the heroine as one of the IL
lustrations with which | hope to en-
| bellish it.
What was even more wonderful to
me than the Staying of the bear was
her account of a bunch of horses and
cattle that succeeded in weathering
the storms of the past winter under
small grove of spruce trees at the edge
of timber line, some 10,500 feet above
sea level She pointed out the local
ity where this marvellous exhibition
of animal hardihood and vitality had
taken place and the manager and my
self rode over and Investigated the

CHARMING zAzA COMES TONIGHT
Great Audience Will Welcome Miss
Montgomery.

The presentation of Tara tonight
with Miss Mabel Montgomery il the
title role will be easily the theatrical
event of the season in Americas and
witnessed by the largest and most
fashionable audience assembled here
in years.
Iaza is an adaptation involvin origin
ality, and nice discrimination between
the tastes of the French and American
audiences.
However, with all the changes that
have been made, the theme prOvOkes
assault by those who hold vice should
never be illustrated in play. But the
majority of the more discriminate sup
porters of the theatre are not of that
way of thinking.
The woman who Miss Montgomery is
to portray is singer and dancer in a
low concert hall,
She makes no pretence of purity
in her mode of life. She fascinates
middle-aged man, whose gentleman
illness of manner in turn wins her
heart, and she quits the stage to live
with him.
After while she learns that he is a
husband, whereupou SIZE goes revenge
fully to expose him to his wife, but
she is turned back from vengeance by
her paramour's little child, and so goes
away to lead virtuous life,
Much is expected of Miss Mont,
gomery and the company.
