included among the sportsmen. The
Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe have
opened Floors Castle to large party
and will entertain lavishly during the
shooting season, as will many other
mobiles who are so fortunate as to own
estates in the grouse districts.
King George will go to Scotland
soon for the shooting, of which he
IS very fond, and for the first time
will abandon the role of paying guest
As Prince of Wales his highness had
not the free use of the royal pre-
serves. but paid the sum Of $4,000 a
year for his shooting privileges.

MISS GRACE BEAN
BAGS BLACK BEAR
BRUIN FALLS BEFORE
RIFLE OF YOUNG LADY
Roy Connell Trees Animal But Unable
to Capture 1t With Lariat-Auto
Load of Women Arrives at Scene and
Miss Bean Brings Bear To Ground
With % Rifle.

Displaying exceptional bravery.
Miss Grace Bean, the 19-year-old
daughter of Judge and Mrs. II. J..
Bean of this city, killed a black bear
with .22 rifle. near Lehman springs
yesterday. News of the killing was
brought to Pendleton this morning by
w. r. Withee, who drives the Frank
lin automobile stage between Pendle-
ton and Lehman and who was pres
ent when the bear met his death.
According to Withee he was taking
an auto load of women from Lehman
to Hidaway springs. Those in the
party were Mrs. II. j. Bean. Miss
Grace Bean, girl friend, Mrs. w. r.
Graham and Miss Winifred Graham
The chauffeur was the only man in
the party Just at the tcp of the
mountain and about two miles from
the junction of the Uklah and Leh-
man springs road, they found Roy
Connell standing at the foot of a
pine tree in the branches of which
could plainly be seen the form of
black bear.
Bear Treed by Cowboy.
1t seems that while riding his horse
along the road Connell had come
across his bearship and promptly
gave chase. After a short run he was
pursuing bruin so closely that the
animal scooted up a tree out of the
reach of his pursuer.
Mcconnell dismounted and with his
lariat attempted to capture the bear
alive. Not being able to lasso the bear
from the ground he climbed the tree
but whenever he would get within
throwing distance the bear would dis
play such war-like proclivities that he
was forced to beat retreat Not
having a gun he sat down to await de-
Yelopments. and was therefore glad to
see the approach of the auto, even
though it was loaded with women. He
was somewhat chagrned however, to
find the the only person armed was
Miss Grace Bean and that her only
weapon was the little squirrel gun.
Not Withee's Bear.
Connell sought to induce Withee to
climb the tree with him and assist in
roping Mr.. Bruin, but Withee could
not see it that way. The man who
can take an auto to pieces and put 1t
together again and who would not
hesitate to drive a car from ocean to
ocean. politely informed the cowboy
that he had not lost any bear. 1t
was then that Miss Beams request to
be given the first shot, was granted
The first proved to be enough for the
well aimed bullet struck the animal
in the head, just above the eye,
bringing him to the ground with hard
ly struggle.
The bear which proved to be about
half grown, with an exceptionally
good coat for summer, was loaded into
the auto and taken on to the Bean
camp at Hidaway. The skin was re-
moved and brought to Pendleton to-
be dressed, while bear steak is being
served in generous quantities in the
Hidaway camps.
