EXCITING RIDE
On BLACK BEAR

e. g. Sweet of Raedsburg, who has
been at work on his land near Scion
Springs, had novel experience with
bear one day last week.
A superior paper tells the story as
follows:
While walking through the woods
near Scion Springs yesterday afternoon
E. Q. Sweet stepped across fallen
tree and found himself astraddle of a
large black bear.
Bruin, who had been enjoying nap,
was as much startled as Mr.. Sweet and
promptly commenced running off into
the woods. The unwilling rider, I'M
able to get off the animals back, chung
fast as best he could.
Finally the bear freed itself and its
anger having been aroused, turned and
fercely attacked Mr.. Sweet. In the
meantime the latter had managed to
draw a knife with which he slashed
and stabbed at the beast which made
an effort to grapple with him. After
a long and fierce struggle the blade
was driven to the heart of the beast.
Mr.. Sweet brought the bear to
Superior. When weighed al the office
of the American Express company
il was found to weigh 221 pounds
dressed. Mr.. Sweet will have the hide
made into rug as a memento of his
exciting adventure.

AN INDIAN FUNERAL
IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Miss Jennette McGilvra Tells of Strange Service
on the Prairie.

Mr.. and Mrs. George B. McGilvra
have received letter from their
daughter, Miss Jenette McGilvra,
Wood, South Dakota, and she tells of
Life among the indians as follows:
The IndiansEhave been camping here
all week. A few went home when
they heard that payment had
been postponed. 1t is quite sight to
see so many tents and at night thew
are all lighted up. Yesterday some of
them got to quarreling and in the scuf-
f1e one old squaw hit young one over
the head and nearly killed her. The
wound bled terribly and had to be
sewed up. Today the men folks of the
families got their guns out and did
some shooting, but no one was Injured.
There has been considerable unrest
among the Indians and they have been
saying that if they could get all of
their money at once instead of in
monthly checks, they could 60 into
business like the white folks. There
is way by which they can get their
money if they are proven capable, but
they are an irresponsible set. Some
of them have eight or ten quarters of
fine land, but they do nothing at all
with it except possibly to break a
garden patch of two or three acres.
They have no chickens and know of
just two Indians who milk COWS.
An Indian Baby's Funeral.
Thursday the field matron, Mrs.
Bonga, came to the store and |

WILL APPEAL TO CONGRESS
Association Must Show Why II Re-
pudiated Old Trails for the
Sn0w-BlOCked Passes

Deming delegates who attended the
New Mexico Good Roads Associa-
ton meeting yesterday and returned
today report an Interesting exchange
of views on the subject of good roads
and their Importance to the agricul-
tural, business and other interests of
the State. The action of the Old
Trails Association in cutting off the
Borderland was not "A topic which ex-
cited discussion, as the whole matter
was considered a joke by those who
know the road west of Albuquerque
through Gallup and by way of
Springerville.
II is evident, however, that Ell
Paso, Demlng, Douglas, Bisbee, Tue
son and Phoenix are not going to
permit the National Old Trails AS
soclatlon to repudiatc the purpose
for which it was organized and
named in favor Of scenery" Those
acquainted with the motor ear roads
OF the State assert that the north
ern road will be open only four or
five months in the year and is
through the widest desert country Of
the Southwest. J. |. Kirker must
have collected several thousand dol
lars along the Bordcrland on the
promise of the officers of the asso-
citation to route this way. Maps were
submitted showing the route by way
of the Borderland and to make the
change only a few weeks after col
lecting the money makes the matter
savor strongly Of graft. Certain it
is that if the Old Trails Association
expects to obtain Federal aid it will
have to show why it did not follow
the old trails The press Of FL Paso,
southern New Mexico and Arizona

dred japanese residents of Sonora
State have offered their services in
arms to L. |, Pesquiera, the insur.
gent Governor, according to a code
telegram received by the constitu-
tionalist committee here today. The
offer was refused, the Governor ex.
planning that the fight to oust the
Huerta soldiers from the border
State was a struggle in which Mexi-
cans only should participate.
Fifteen japanese formed the com.
mittee which called on the Governor
yesterday at Hermosillo, the State
capital.
They declared the four hundred
japanese were already armed. They
composed, they said, all residents of
the State, mostly farmers and me-
chanics. They offered to furnish
their own ammunition for a time.
The Governor thanked the committee
for its interet in the welfare Of Mex
leo, he said, but declined the offer on
the grounds Of alienship of the prof
fered troops.
The fifteen hundre uncivilized va
qui Indians who recently took the
field for the revolutionists yesterday

RECOMMENDATIONS

After hearing the report of the
committee the meeting instructed it
to make further inquiry as to the
classification of land. There is some
question as to how land in the MINI
bres Valley should be classified, as it
is evident that to classify desert as
land capable Of irrigation is taking
advantage of the owners who may or
may not in some cases be within the
shallow water belt of the valley pro-
per. The committee will investigate
this matter and will submit recon.
mendations to the Board of County
Commissioners for its guidance in
fixing the values.
