Choked Bear to Death.

John Bozarth, the well known cattle
man from the Camp Wood country,
had rather lively experience with
bear near Loco creek about ten days
ago. While on ride he sighted
Bruin and gave chase.
After running him considerable
distance the bear showed fight and
cut cash in the flank of his horse
about four inches in length. He
threw his lariat, which landed around
the neck of the bear. and had him
choked to death in short order. He
states that bear is just as easily
choked with rope as a steer, especi-
ally when the bear is fat. ..i
1t weighed 500 pounds and was of
the silver tip variety. This Is the
largest bear seen in that locality for
a number Of years. Mr.. Bozarth was
unarmed and had to depend on his
rope and horse entirely in the strug-

ODD FELLOWS MAKE MERRY

The Odd Fellows had a strenuous
time this week. On Wednesday they
and their friends to the number OF
500 0took an excursion to Lagoon. 1t
was the most enjoyable affair of the
kind ever given by the Odd Fellows
or any other organization. On Thurs
day evening the city lodges had a
jaunt
joint installation of officers for the en-
suing term. 'rhe installation was per-
formed by the grand officers and they
and the other lodges were the guests
of Utah lodge No. 1. After the cere-
monies which were impressively car
ried out, Utah No. / entertained its
visitors to supper which was served
in the dining hall in the I. o. o. F.

casion.

IN MEMORY OF "TEDDY."

Our Ted-only a dog!
Yes, only a dog, you say;
With a large, warm heart,
And a bright, brown eye,
With an earnest bark
And warm caress.
For the Schillers and
The friends he loved best.
Oh, how Herbert and
Carolyn do miss him,
His noisy welcome and
Rough good-by!
POOR Ted, by accident died
But some day, | trust,
We shall meet again;
Oh, yes, we must!
And the joy of that meeting
| dare not say.
Ay, mock, We skeptics,
And laugh to scorn
The faith | hold
OF all life that's born;
1t cannot be wasted,
Nor can it be lost.
And oh, for the faith,
And the Indians trust,
That Ted and his friends
Will meet some day
Just over the river
Not far away!

ADDITIONAL TRUTHS.

Chief Justice Bartchs mission east,
he says, had no political significance.
That is true. 1t did not amount to
anything. He went to Washington
primarily to secure the appointment
of United States District Attorney for
himself, after asking the then Dis
trict Attorney, Joseph Lippman, if he
(Mr. Lippman) had any objection to
his making application for the place.
On receiving assurance from Mr..
Lippman that he didn't care 'ther
he (Bartch) applied for the p, ce or
not, Bartch went to the nationai cap
ital, cock-a-hoop, and probably armed
with a free railroad ticket, con-
fident of preventing the confirmation
of Booth and securing the place for
himself. Bartch it may be incidental
ly stated, was supplied with letters

ties where after all the people is the
source Of all power 1t is a laudable
ambition for tile supreme court judges
to win the respect and confidence of the
people. They are men of such high re-
gard for the constitution that they
would not go contrary to all OF its
principles but it will be largely ques-
ton of construction and it is safe to
predict that the supreme court is apt
to lean with public sentiment.
The recent attacks upon the courts
in the senate and in the country will not
be without effect upon the supreme
court. There has been so much said
upon this subject that there is a popular
distrust of the courts. The advocates
of railway rate legislation who have
contended for a narrow court review
did it because they wished
to keep the cases against railways out
of court. On this account it would not
be surprising if the supreme court would
be led to take an advanced position
when the questions growing out of the
of the Hepburn bill is sub
mitted to it. This would do much to
establish confidence in the supreme court
and it would not be surprising if even
the highest court in the land would be
influenced by this consideration.
