LASSO BIG
BLACK BEAR AT LUND

Joe Delmue was at the Hotel AL
exander the first of the week, hav-
ing just returned from Lund, where
he superintended the loading of
about 1900 head of cattle. The live
stock was brought in mostly from
Kane county. Utah.
While in Lund on the morning of
the 10 inst. genuine black bear
strolled into town and caused con-
siderable excitement.
How Mr. Bruin should so lose his
bearings as to stroll into a neigh
borhood where a bunch of cowboys
were working seems inexplica BILE; !;
but nevertheless he got there Be-
fore Bruin knew where he was at he
was rounded up and roped secure
ly by the COW men. The captive was
placed in hastily made cage and a
rope placed around his neck to pre-
vent him from raising too much COM
motion. The confinement was not to
Mr. Brin's liking though, so he pro-
ceeded to settle matters right then
and there by choking himself to
death. When the captors went to
see how the captive was getting on
they found that Bruin had decided
that death was preferable to being
friend of the cowboys The ami
NAL, Mr.. Delmue says, weighed about
$50 pounds.
