Giant of Far West Carries Cow Easily
Over Mountain, Without
RESTING.

It is related that grizzly bear that
had one of its forepaws so shot as to
render it useless employed the other
to drag its weight of 1000 pounds up
an incline almost precipitous, a seem
ingly impossible feat. the Fur News
states
A Californian asserts that while in
the mountains he observed a big griz-
ely in the act of carrying a dead COW
home to her cubs. From his position
on the mountainsde the Californian
could follow every movement Of the
bear in the sparsely timbered valley
below. He contends that the big beast
carried the COW in her forepaws for a
distance of three miles. across jagged
rocks several feet in height, over
fallen logs around the rocky noun
tainside, where even mule could not
get a footLo d, to a narrow trail up
the stee.D mountain
This bear, it appears, stopped not
a moment for rest, but proceeded
straight on. The observer followed
her and about half a mile from her
lair shot her. The COW, it is reported,
weighed at least 1900 pounds. while
the weight of the grizzly was about

Doctor Heath was convinced. but he

the secret demand made upon him by
Sweetwater, who was bundling up his
papers with much clatter.
Looking up with smile which had
elements in it he was hardly conscious
OF perhaps himself. he asked in an off

infrequently fastened her door in this
manner, in order TO safeguard her
child who was abnormally active and
had a way of rafting the door open
when it was not thus secured. But
she had never refused to open before.
and the child's cries were pitiful
This was no longer a matter of
wonder, when, the door having been
wrenched from its hinges, they all
rushed in. Across a tub of steaming
clothes lifted upon a bench in the
open window, they saw the body OF
this good woman, lying inert and
seemingly dead; the frightened child
tugging at her skirts. She was of a
robust make, fieshy and fair. and had
always been considered a model OF
health and energy, but at the sight
of her helpless figure, thus stricken
while at work, the one cry was A
stroke! till she had been lifted off
and laid upon the floor Then some
discoloration in the water at the bot.
tom of the tub led to a closer examin-
alton of her body, and the discovery
of bullet-hole in her breast directly
over the heart.
LAS she had been standing with
face towards the window, all crowded
that way to see where the shot had
come from. AS they we're on the
fourth story it could not have come
from the court upon which the room
looked. 1t could only have come from
the front tenement, towering up be-
fore them some twenty feet away A
single window of the innumerable ones
confronting them stood open, and this
was the one directly opposite.
Nobody was to be seen there or
in the room beyond, but during the ex-
element. one man ran off to call the
police and another to hunt up the JAM.
tor and ask who occupied this room.
His reply threw them all into con-
fusion. The tenant of that room was
the best, the quietest and most re-
spectacle man in either building.
Then he must be simply careless
and the shot an accidental one A
rush was made for the stairs and
soon the whole building was in an up
roar. But when this especial room was
reached, it was found locked and on
the door paper pinned up, on which
these words were written: Gone to
New York. Will be back at $50.
Words that recalled circumstance to
the janitor. He had seen the gentle
man go out an hour before. This ter
