INDIAN WOMAN GOT THE BEAR
Prodded Him Out with Her Scissors,
Then Tomahawked Him.

AS for that grit of mountaineering
Indian women-which has been cele-
DRAFTED in a well-known book, there is
a story in Fur News which is good
evidence of their physical courage
A dealer in skins tells of a squaw
who was walking along on her snow
shoes one day when her small boy
saw a bear curled up under the snow
in his winter sleep. She could not kill
him where she was, so she dashed a
pair OF scissors to a sapling, prodded
him out and smashed his head in with
her tomahawk as he emerged.
Il gave her ten dollars for the skim"
writes the dealer, so it was not bad
mornings work. Another ingenious
piece of hunting that l remember was
accomplished by an Indian who found
two moose in a yard-that is, the
snow clearing which the animals
make when the frosts are breaking
up and the snow is too sharp and brit
tie for their comfort.
He crept up and got the female
with his tomahawk. The male was
driven to fury and it was unsafe to ap-
proach him. The stroke Of a hoof
would put the Indian out OF business
In close order.
Having no gun, he improvised a
bow and arrow from the trees, stuck a
sharp file into the point Of the arrow,
made bowstring with the laces of his
moccasins and shot the beast through
the heart"

Justice Was a Diplomat,

When "Jim" Watson of Indiana was
practicing law in Winchester he had a
case before a local judge involving the
ownership Of a pig Testimony was
submitted and the Justice reserved

The Justice was candidate for
mayor Of the town, and Watson and
the opposing counsel thought they
saw an opportunity for little fun.
See here, Judge" said Watson,
meeting the justice on the street one
day, unless I get judgment in my
favor in that pig case I'm going to op-
pose your election as mayor" Oppos-
ing counsel met the Justice and talked

gether to the justices office. He was
out. but his docket lay open. Opposite

Scene Of Deadly Struqqres.

1t is doubtful if there is any portion
of the earth upon which there are 30
many deadly struggles as upon the
earth around the trunk Of tree. Up
on this small arena there are struggles
fierce and wild; here nature is red
in tooth and claw" When a tree is
small and tender, countless insects
come to feed upon it, Birds come to
it TO devour these insects. Around
the tree daily are almost merciless
struggles for existence. These death
struggles occur not only in the day.
time. but in the night Mice, rats and
rabbits destroy millions of young
trees. While at their deadly feast,
many time have they been surprised
by hawks, and then they are at a
banquet where they themselves are

Waterman of trees, often swoops down
at night, and as a result some little

BOundIeSs Resources OF
Great State OF Nevada

Great State OF Nevada
An old time resident of the state has
written the following regarding the
variety of resources of Nevada.
Nevada is IL world in range of lati-
tudc, climate and natural resources.
In latitude she stretches from the
Colorado river to the south boundary
of Oregon.
Her climate varies from semi-tr0pi
cal ut the Colorado river to temperate
mountains is frigid.
Her products vary from cotton. coffee,
tobacco, figs, grapes, peaches. lemons
and oranges OH the south to ice in her
northern mountains.
In the worlds exposition ut Chicago,
she was awarded the first premium for
cotton and rs that was ~ worlds fair,
that award is one sort of evidence that
Nevada produces thr finest cotton in
the world If she did not take first
premium on rice, sugar, tobacco,
peaches, oranges, lemons, barley. corn.
oats, rye and wheat and Ill useful
vegetables and forage plants it is be
cause she did not try
Utah lies east of Nevada. and in like
latitude, elevation and climate
challenge the state of California to
present an exhibit of cereals, fruits,

we surprised the world by discovering
the ComStocll lode and opening and
developing the richest Silvcr-golI belt
that has ever been discovered ON this
