worst gravel beds about 500 yards across, and in
crossing this we had to assist the chuck wagon
over
Up bright and early next morning and away in
rush as the mountains were goal During
this day In the forenoon nothing of any importance
happened, but long about shutdown business be-
gan to pick up. We had just arrived at the
Baballos (Horse Creek and watered our horses
and intended going beyond about three miles
where grass was good Just after we crossed
this creek left the wagon and rode out along
side at distance Of about one-haf mile. In
doing this was in hopes of finding deer
the range was fine and prospects good To my
surprise found something better than a deer,
big black bear. l was about 500 yards from the
wagon and upon arriving at the top of a nice
smooth knoll noticed Mr. Bruin anL he spied me
about the same time. The country was rolling
and was riding an excellent horse you
imagine my feelings as confident of hav-
ing genuine sport. l frightened up my sad
die and looked for my rope but had left 1t in the
wagon Without moments hesitation l reached
for my rifle. Then the race began This bear
was not very fat, and of course could put up
fast race. He made for the side of a nearby hill
and it was my intention to head him of to keep
him from entering cave Giving my horse full
rein and extra hard spur thrust was able to
turn Mr.. Bear and by doing this got him started
across somewhat level place Riding along
side at distance of about $50 feet took my
hind leg, but this seemed only to make Bruin
run the faster Seeing would have to do better
than this l tried to get closer, but could not
make it. Taking three more shots still missed
as was running my horse at full speed and could
not hit the mark as readily as If | standing.
At the next shot was within about 20 feet OF
the bear and this shot took effect Just the
bullet hit the bear he wheeled and made direct
towards my horse catching him by the tail. Now,
good reader, this may not seem scary, but try it
one time and see how your blood circuates Mine
nearly pushed my hair off my head. If l had not
been riding a good horse 1t would have been
seric sure enough. My horse realized the posi-
ton lie was in and had to ride to keep my seat
as there was some high jumping and quick work
done which all happened in few minutes After
the bear tore loose from the horses tail he STUN

THE TEA PENALTY.
a Strong Mans Experience.

Writing from busy railroad town
me wife of an employe of one OF the
great roads says:
my husband Is railroad man who
has been so much benefited by the use
Of Postum that he wishes me to ex-
press his thanks to you for the good
It has done him. His waking hours
are taken up with his work, and he
has no time to write himself.
HE has been great tea drfnker
ali his life and has always liked It
strong.
"Tea has, of late years, acted on
him like morphine does upon most
people. At first it soothed him, but
only for an hour or so, then it began
to affect his nerves to such an extent
that he could not sleep at night, and
he would go to his work in the morn
Ing wretched and miserable from the
loss of rest. This condition grew con-
stantly worse, until his friends per-
suaded him, some four months ago, to
quit tea and use Postum.
"At first he used Postum only for
breakfast, but as he liked the taste of
1t, and it somehow seemed to do him
good, he added it to his evening meal.
Then. as he grew better, he began to
drink 1t for his noon meal, and now
he will drink nothing else at table.
Ellis condition is so wonderfully i'm
proved that he could not be hired to
give up Postum and go back to tea.
His nerves have become steady and
reliable once more, and his sleep Is
easy, natural and refreshing.
He owes all this to Postum, for he
has taken no medicine and made no
other change in his diet.
Ellis brother who was very nervous
from coffee-drinlzing, was persuaded
By us to give up the coffee and use
Postum and he also has recovered his
health and strength" Name given by

located him first sitting on
a rock upon the side Of a
big bluff, so, taking no
chances as to his getting
away, l let go at him,
striking him in the stom-
ach. This sshot knocked
him off the rock but did
not kill him. He rolled
down among the dogs and
business was good for a
few minutes, but Mr.. Pan
Their was getting weak and
could not hold out any
longer, so turned in his
checks. We measured him
to be 8 feet 2 inches from
tip to tip. Good size, don't
you think?
Next morning Bob killed
two fine bucks and l kill
ed one. Louis and myself
started up to top of the
mountain, which only
looked to be about a mile
distant, but we were four
hours going to the top.
Here we had some great
sport shooting black-tail
deer. as they were plenti-
full and one could get such
good long range shots,
which were the kind we
wanted as they afforded
the greater sport. Killing
deer in this way was too
easy, as they were plentf-
full and could be had most
any time.
On the top and sides Of
these mountains one finds
Juniper trees covered with
berries, white and red
oak, two kinds of cedar
and scrub oak or "shin-
ery," besides numerous
other trees. Wild pears
seem to thrive there also.
All the deer killed on
these mountains were fat
and as fine favored meat
as one could wish.
After wandering around
over these mountains till
about 3 p. m. we decided
to return to camp. We
reached camp about Z that
evening.

Special 10 Independent.

Littel Rock, Aug. 1O.-Man5 complaints of cotton shedding have reached the Department of Agriculture within the past few days. Some of the reports state the cotton is shedding so rapidly that if the present hot and hu- mid condition continues for the next week fully half the crop will be lost.
 c. R. Roebuck of Haynes has written to the Department com blaming of a cotton worm or cotton caterpillar which is work ing great damage upon the cot ton in the lowlands. He asks where arsenate of lead can be secured to fight the weevil, and the desired information has been sent, together with the ad- vice to use the lead by all means, instead of paris green which some advocate, as the lead will not kill off the leaves of the plant like paris green has al- ways been known to do.

Benedicts Defeat Bachelors.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent
 Diaz, Aug. 8.-The base ball game which was played here Tuesday afternoon between the Bachelors and Benedicts proved to be one of the most interest ing games that was ever played on this diamond. The score ran up to a large figure and when the smoke of the battle had d1s- appeared it was found that the Benedicts had defeated the Bachelors by a score of IS to F.
 The lineup for the Bachelors was: Penn Davis, pitcher; Geo. Young, catcher; L. H. Daven- port, 1st base; N. Conkin, 2nd base; E. Mcmurray, 3rd base; R. o. Rawlings, short stop; c. Vaulner, right field; L. Young, center field; w. Black, left field.
 The lineup for the Benedicts was: c. Defries, pitcher; w. Clark, catcher; T. Bacon, 1st base; R. Stevens, 2nd base; c. West, 3rd base; o. l.. Roberts, short stop; M. Gawf, right field; R. Lawson, left field;
 Umpires: Benedicts-Floyd; Bachelors-Moyer.
 The features of the game were the brilliant work of c. West on 3rd base, who caught more than one 'bach" mapping on his sack, but was too slow with the Zap pie" to do any harm. Penn Da- wis, who occupied the mound for the "bachs" had a nice as- sortment of unsolvables on the start, but the eX-champion squirrel killer" soon got weak and was hit hard but with good CD field support he managed to hold the men down. Raw lings, the expert short stop for the "bachs" while trying to catch a fly landed terra firma with a sickening thud and while trying to recover himself let in two runs. >-
 Davenport for the Bachelors while trying to field a nice fly became entangled in dog fennel and while trying to extract him. self let the Benedicts in the lead. Roberts and c. Young were credited with home runs and several three base hits were made by each team. The close decisions of Floyd and Mover were often disputed and a volley of hot air was thrown them by the rooters for the married men. The young ladies turned out en masse and they tried to cheer the single men, to victory but fate was against them.
 Every bachelor in the team vowed to assist Dan Cupid with the exceptions of the "bache- Tor umpire" who stated that ev- erything was satisfactory to him, and while the bachelors bow their heads'in defeat we ex- pect to soon hear the wedding bells ring.
