separated from the rest. He was
hunting for some good snap shots,
and when he had crossed the ridge
where Wild Bill and his old chum,
Calamity Jane, lie buried he suddenly
discovered that he was not alone.
CHANGING around in response to a
muttered growl he saw a huge grizzly
bear. All his artistic sense awoke in
his desire to get a snap shot Of bruin,
but the bear did not like the camera,
and made bee line for the tripod
and the operator, who, without cere-
mony, fled precipitately. The bear
did not follow, but Mr.. Barraclough
in his haste slipped and fell from a
precipice, fracturing a rib and hurt
ing himself otherwise. The bear is
still at large.

SURVEYOR GENERAL BUSY.

Not Likely to Lose Office While Work
Is as Heavy as Now
Talk of abolishing the Office of
encouragement for South Dakota
again has been revived. However, the
volume of the work that yet remains
to be done is great, and so long as
mineral lands require the attention Of
a surveyor-general, the Office is not
likely to be disturbed. The office has
been located here since 1883. and at
no time has there been greater rush
Of work than at the present. The
clerical force now employed in the
office is inadequate and there is yet
much land within the district to be
surveyed, plats made and records
completed At the closest calcula-
ton, this work could not be finished
in less than three years, to say moth
ing of the volume of work now await
ing completion. Frank A. Morris,
the present surveyor general, is push
ing the work as rapidly as possible,
but he finds it impossible to more
than keep pace with current business
even by working the clerical force
overtime.
