thousand feet of hair rope, guns ana

New Mexico bronchoes. en- route from
=Carrizozo, Lincoln county, to Gotham.
These bronchoes were picked by Love-
less, who is an expert in mustangs, and
are as tough and wiry a lot as can be
found in the southwest. The trip into
the regions now being devastated by
Roosevelt is under the management of
what is officially called the Buffalo"

his bearship, and just as the cage reach

opened and out jumped Mr.. Bear with
hair on end and mouth wide open.
All hands present except Mr.. Quinn
and Mr.. Parker sought safety in flight
and Mr.. Bear promptly directed his full
and undivided attention to Mr.. Quinn,
probably due to the fact that the lat

taken the precaution to slip revolt

form the acquaintance of the bear, and
to this fact he is probably indebted Tor

The bear was coming for him at top
speed and was within six feet of Mr.
Quinn before the latter could draw his
weapon. A we'll directed shot finished
the bear promptly, and then Mr. Quinn

to the effect that any bears purchased

fuE change in conditions has been
wrought in the southeast section of

Instead of nothing but a windswept
prairie, which was all that could be
