ONE-ARhED TRAPPER
KILLS BEAR IN CAVE
Frank Deng Trails Bruin to His Den
and Boldly Follows in
Pursuit.

YAMPA, Col. Jan. s0-Frank Deng.
a one-armed trappeT, just in from his
winter trapping quarters. reports the
performance of a feat worthy OF a
descendant OF Israel Putnam. Like old
put" he crawled into a cave gun In
hand, but instead of killing a wolf he
went the revolutionary veteran one bet
ter and put out of commission a CHINA
mon bear of large proportions.
Deng is known over the greater por-
ton OF northwestern Colorado. Years
ago he lost his left arm in a mining
disaster In Leadville. This winter ne
has string OF traps near the head
of Mad creek. Wild. timbered country
and one OF the few districts in Routt
county where furbearing animals are
still plentiful.
One morniE In looking over his
traps. he discovered that a big bear had
come out of winter quarters, got his
foot In one of his lynx traps and drag
ged 1T away. He followed the trail un-
III night. when he returned TO his
cabin. and picked the trail up the fol-
lowing day. That afternoon he found
where bruin had again sought winter
holdup in a large cave and his dog
plainly told him that the animal was
inside.
Grasping his gun In his one hand
Deng entered the cave The place was
dark. but toward the back OF the cave
he could discern the dim outlines OF
the animal. Before emerging from the
hole he fired three shots. Waiting
some time for the bear to come out in
case he had simply wounded him. he
finally sent his dog into the hole and
then entered himself. to find that the
animal was stone dead.
Despite his one arm Deng is a noted
trapper and hunter and a dead shot
His dog, Sport. his one companion. is
almost human in conveying 10 his mas
ter t,y signs and peculiar noises such
information as is of value to the trap
per. Last winter Deng, Sport, and an
inoffensive 22caliber rife put ont of
business a two-year-old black bear.

NATIONAL.
The Story of Esther Beautifully
Told.

Mizpah
An Anglization of that Semitic term
''mitzvah." the harbinEer of all that is
blessed and all that is 10 be thankful
for.
With this magic word as a nu-
cieus. a play with the beautiful book
OF Esther to draw from for charac-
ter and scenic display, a drama has
been staged.
AS produced at the National Ia st
night the production might well be
termed ''mitzvah" in its way. 1t tells
a story OF so much value In ethical
jurisprudence. yet so little understood
by the people OF the present.
The story in brief recounts the ma
ehinations of Hannah and Queen Wash
IT, against King Ahasuerus and the
Jews, with Queen Esther as arbiter
and Mordecai as the sage. Upon this
ultimate emancipating of the Jews Is
founded the Feast of Purim. and not
a few OF the incidents OF the play are
drawn from the ancient Magilieh, which
is Invariably recited on the eve or this
celebration in Jewish homes and
places of worship.
In scenic effect the production is
worthy OF more than ordinary praise
while the fnuSlcai interpretations Il
they might so be called, are well IN
keeping with the theories of the play
wrights. There is an Orientalism in
them throughout brought well into
play by cello and soft string promi-
nence that blends musical, histrtOnlC,
and scenic effects to a nicely.
And then again. there Is not sin
gle member of the east who does not
measure ny To the necessary require
ment. HdrCOurt. as Hannah. GilmOur.
as the King, and Harburg as MoTde-
cal. easily divide hOnOrs.
The Esther or the play. Adele Block
added laurels to those she has already
won on the stage. Coy, yet dignitied /;
aggressive, yet sedate, she won her
king and her audience at the same
time. And particular feature was
her delineatiOn OF love as told by the
lips and as echoed by the orchestra
in Schubertesque rhythm.
Another impressive feature is the
minstTelSy, so programmed. OF John
McCoskey. With a lyric tenor, almost
rhymes. almost traditional In melody,
which bound King and Queen in closer
harmony.
The play OF "MiZpah' has its par
ables in theory and lesson, drawn TO
modern understanding and staged TO
make effective all that the authors
would have understood.
The play Is by Ella Wheeler WILCOX
and I.uscOmbe Searelle. the latter being
also author OF the music.
