TWO BEARS KILLED.

On last Saturday Firmin 3. Hamor,
up at Lake Hamor, saw three big
brown bears roaming around and he
didn't do a thing but go and get a
rifle and all the cartridges he had in
the house, which were four in num-
Der, and go out and kill two of the
three and wounded the third, but in
spite Of the fact that with only one
shell left he followed the wounded
bear for several miles he was unable
ot effect her capture.
The two killed were each killed by
a single shot and the skin and meat
Of one was brought down to Durango
and sold out, the other was kept up
al the camp for home consumption.
The one brought down to town was a
fine fat yearling and we expect to
take our first taste of bear meat at

Governor Shafroth attempted to
again play grandstand politics at the
close of the trial of Robert Harris
for the murder of the two officers at
La Junta. On the morning that the
jury returned verdict, local Demo-
cratic paper published a scare-head
story to the effect that, if Harris was
not found guilty and sentenced to
death, he would be lynched. The gov
ernor Immediately called the sheriff
of that county and gave him a talk
about protection against mob violence.
The talk was entirely unnecessary as
there was no danger of mob violence
at any time and the sheriff so in
