 The next day they set out to find him. followed the tracks up the mountain and at last located him in his den where he had cVrled up for the winter. They woke him mp and when he came out the mountain looked comparatively small, with him on it. Badly scared as they were they plugged him full of lead and Lt. Orchard has the skin to show for it They were we'll repaid for their trip.
 Captain Bavison and a number of others from the fort were hunting at the same time in the same neigh hood secured five deer. They also came back with the Peterson.
