AND THAT WAS THE
 END OF THE BEAR

Ed. Kerr, who has a home
 stead up the Unuk river is
 down from that region with a
 sad story of the end of a big
 grizzly. It appears from the
 story Kerr brings down, and he has 8 reputation for veracity, the bear broke the window in his cabin, and Crawled in. He ate everything in sight includ- ing the table legs and stove lids and finished up on a two pound can of baking powder. Ap- parently the baking powder be gan to get busy and rise as soon as the bear had gotten it into his stomach and he had tried to get out of the window but was such a swell affair by that time that the window wasn't big enough for him. The powder kept at work lln- til the animal blew up, and Ed brought back the fragments of the skin found in the ruins of the cabin as proof of his story. The only trouble is that Kerr doesn't remember the brand of powder so that he could write the manufacturers and in form them of the wonderful ris ing qualities of their product.

DIED WITHIN HEARING
 OF YREADWEI.L

ing of Leslie Oliver's body at i5 o'clock yesterday rsorn~ l ing by Conrad, Brown, Collins and Miller, of Douglas. came the news late yesterday aftcr- lnoon that the bodlcs ur John Shattuck and Adelbert Linscott had been found only three hundred yards from where the Youngest member tr the Ill., lated party had lain down to die. Two prospeclcr:. Peter Snyder and F. Bailey, were the ones who stumbled across the lnC0ies of Shattuch and Lln' scott, lying close together on the east ridge of the mountain OH which are located the Gould Curry claims and cabin. The two bodies were lying at the oyerhanging of a 700 .ft cuff. The boys had evidently crawled to their death place and i'll their famished condition, worn out with the one-sided struggle. had given up their lives. Four shotgun shells, eaten down to the very brass, bear mute evil Idence to the efforts of the dy- ing boys to secure something with which their gnawing hun ger might be appeased. The grass within a few snort feet of where the bodies lay had been torn up. The boys had srasped at anything in their search for the absent some thing which their systems Icraved. Beside them were their Ishotguns, ''brokenn for the eX- traction of the shells. Both Shattuck and Linscott were ly- ing on their backs. Shattuck's head was pillowed on his dead lchum's thigh. Suffering was written deep on their features.
 How long these three unfor- tunate boys lay on the mountain will never be known. Leslie IOliver's shotgun barrel, which pointed up the mountain, was half filled with water. On this evidence, and from state ments made last night by Doc tors L. o. Sloane and L. O. Egginton. it is reasoned that Iihe three died from exposure either Saturday or Sunday night
 Snyder and Bailey, who
 found Shattuch and Linscott, told the following story to the Dispatch representative.
 We first went on the search for the missing boys Thursday morning, which was yesterday. We went up Sheep creek basin on the Gould-Curry trail and started our search from the spot where young Oliver was
 found. Here we met Collins watching Divers body. He told us that Conrad and Brown were searching further, on this side of the divide, and directed us to ge across the ridge. This was 10 o'clock in the morning. It was about 1o minutes before 12 when we found the bodies of Shattuck and Linscott. We immediately fixed six signal shots, to call in the other searchers. Henry Shattuck and his party were the first to reach us."
 q think" said Bailey, "that the younger boy. Leslie Oliver, had become exhausted and after placing his gun, barrel upward, against q rock, had pillowed his head on a rock and gone to sleep. He probably never awak ened, but died within short time. The other two boys being somewhat stronger, had pushed on for aid and had suc- cess fully crossed the ridge.
