CATCHES BEAR WITH LAsso.
California Man chokes Big Cinnamon
to Death.

Stockton, Cal.-While looking after
his fathers stock near Bear mountain,
close to the snow line in Calaveras
county, Edwin Steel came upon large
cinnamon bear. Having killed several
before, he rode up toward the animal
and fired two shots, which severely
wounded It, but did not stop it from
making an effort to get away. Afraid
he would lose his game, Steel dashed
up near the wounded bear, and.
throwing a Iariat over its head, des-
perate battle ensued. Ii required some
clever work to keep the animal, which
by this time was in a rage, from kill
ing the hunter. After hard tussle he
managed to wear Il down, and eventu
ally choked it to death.
Steel had another, experience with
a bear two years ago on the range.
A companion had shot u big bear and
IL turned on the hunter. Steel rushed
to the assistance of his friend, and,
with only large bowie knife, man
aged to dispatch The animal An artery
in his wrist was severed, and he came
near bleeding to death before medical
aid could be secured. He was also
badly scratched.

members of the council a very beau
tiful silver dinner service. Mr.. Cam
eron paid a glowing tribute to Mr..
Spiess as a presiding officer and as a
legislator. Mr.. Spiess responded in a
very pleasing speech in which he not
only thanked the members for their
gift, but reviewed the work of the as
sembly, expressing the belief that the
record of this assembly would excel
that of any assembly in the past,

having been concluded the council

measures.

Certain disgruntled politicians came

governmental system of New Mexico.
1t was proposed by this small ring
to take away from the governor all
the power of his office. to embarrass
him and cripple his administration in
