Next morning we again went out, and

we were in snow, and il was extraordinary

turn came we had gOOd trdli.
After good deal of beating to and fro,
we found where an old she-bear with two
vearlngs had crossed a hill during the night
and put the hounds on their tracks, Johnny
and lake, with one or two of the cowboys,
followed the hounds over the exceedingly
difficult hillside where the trail led; or rath-
er. they tried to follow them, for the hounds
speedily got clear away, as there were many
places where they could run on the crust OF
the snow, in which the horses wallowed al
most helpless. The rest of us went down
to the valley, where the snow was light and
the going much easier. The bear had trav-
eed hither and thither through the woods
on the sidehill, and the dogs became scat

Three Bears at Once.
Finally, however, the rest OF the pack put
up the three bears We had an interesting
glimpse Of the chase as the bears quartered
up across an open spot on the hillside. The
hounds were but short distance behind
them, horse after horse getting down in the
snow, and speadily heard the redoubled
clamor which told us that something had
been freed. 1t was half an hour before we
could make our way TO the tree a spruce, in
which the two yearlings had taken refuge,
While around the bottom the entire pack
was gathered, crazy with excitement
We could not take the yearlings alive,
both because we lacked the means OF carry
ing them and because we were anxious to
get after the old bear. We could not leave
them where they were because it would
have been we'll nigh impossible to get the
dogs away, and because even # we had sue
ceeded i'll getting them away, they would
not have run any other trail as long as they
knew the warnings were in the tree. 1t was
therefore out OF the question to leave them
unframed as we should have been glad "a

and the ranchmen with their wives and chill
dren some on horseback, some in wagons,
had gathered from 30 miles round to attend

the exercises had to take place in the open
air, and it was pleasant to look at the strong
frames and rugged, weather-beaten faces OF
the men; while as for the women, one re-
Spected them even more than the men.
On the last day we rode down TO where
Glenwood Springs lies, hemmed i'll by lofty
mountain chains, which are riven iii sunder
by sheer-sided, cliff-walled canyons. As we
left ever farther behind US the wintry desc

and struck out on the hillside opposite.
A Chase for Bobcat.
Suddenly we saw the bobcat running
ahead Of them and doubling and crcling.
few minutes afterward the hounds followed
the trail to the creek bottom and then began
to bark freed. But on reaching the point we
found there was no cat in the tree, although
the dogs seemed certain that there was; and
Johnny and Jake speedily had them again
running on the trail After making its way
for some distance through the bottom, the
cat had again taken to the sidehll, and the
hounds went after it hard. Again they Went
nearly to the top, again they streamed down
to the bottom and crossed the creek
Soon afterward we saw the cat ahead Of
them For the moment it threw them off
the track by making circle and galloping
around close to the rearmost hounds. It
then made for the creek bottom, where it
climbed to the top of tall aspen. The
hounds soon picked up the trail again and
followed it full cry; but unfortunately just
before they reached where it had freed
they ran on to porcupine When we
reached the foot Of the aspen, in the top Of
which the bobcat crouched, with most Of the
pack baying beneath, we found the porcu-
pine dead and half a dozen dogs with their
muzzles and throats filled full OF quilts. Be-
fore doing anything with the cat it was nee

The Arkansaw Travellers, few in number. but with their big brass band, and all the enthusiasm characteristic of their class, arrived here yester- day for their annual convention. The day was to have been marked with some ceremonial features and a big dress parade but these conventional ities were waived because of the late arrival of many of the delegates, and the program for today. will have crowded into it all that was lacking yesterday.
 At 9 o'clock this morning the Trav- elers are urged to meet at the Audi torium theater, where an address of welcome will he made by Mayor w. w. Waters, and response by Pres ident Spivey of the Travellers, fur ther hospitality from Secretary Mems League, and formal opening of the regular annual session.
 President H. S. Spiyey felt assured yesterday that this annual convention would have the usual attendance, re- gardless of the fact that the arrival of the delegates was slow. The Tray elers had one big time at their ev- ening social fixture, the Arlington | ball, where a large crowd of loca and visiting society folks gathered and rendered their Hospitality to the visiting Travellers and their wives and sweethearts.
 Today is to be one hummer ac. cofding to the predictions and proh- ecies of all That big brass band will be brought out today to head a big Mardi Gras parade, which is one of the characteristic features of each annual Travellers convention. The parade will start at 10 o'clock from the Majestic hotel, and no doubt the streets will be lined with people to witness its grotesqueness.
 The baseball game in the afternoon is also a big feature, for the Travel CTS have two well balanced teams in the "Bloomers' and the Cabbage Heads" which will cross bats this afternoon at Wilmington park. The ball game will start at 2:30, but by a special arrangement through Man ager Doc Owens of Wilmington park, an additional feature will be taken up after six innings of play, when the Cowboys and their big company now here. will put on some riding contests and exhibitions, which in- clude the riding of four wild steers, four bucking bronchos, and one very uncomfortable mule. All of this cer- tainly will furnish some fun for the Travellers at the matinee seanee.
