IT'S A BEAR, IT'S A BEAR,
NEW TOURIST ATTRACTION

AS a special attraction to tourists
in search of sport, the county commits
sioners of southwestern Colorado who
are boosting the road which has been
finished from pagosa Springs thru
that section are telling j number Of
bear stories" which have occurred
there recently. One story is of a
youngster aged Is, named Johnny
Chapson who recently killed q bear
in its cave. The story which is
vouched for by the county authorities
is that the boy climbed into cave
where he knew there was bear and
spotting the animal by its white eye
balls, killed it.
Another story is of a cattleman,
Norman Price, who met bear in the
road. His terrified horse threw him
breaking his leg, but Price managed
to kill the bear which fell on top of
him, and while he lay there, according
to the yarn, six other bears coming
to the help of the dead one, were shot
by his trusty rifle.
The latest story is of a man named
George Babcock who was driving
along the road to Williams creek in
machine. The road is very narrow
and when he suddenly rounded point
he found that passage blocked by a
6O0-pound cinnamon bear. He lasoo-
I ed the animal and clubbed it to death

FINANCIAL AID BY

Caranza Fears Offer Of American Money May
Lead to IntefyeniiON 10 Case lie is Unable
to Pay Interest When i Becomes Due

WASHINGTON, July S.-Mexcians
told administration officials financial
assistance will now be rebuffed, not
because Carranza has plenty but be-
cause he feels he cannot fully trust
the United States. The Mexicans fear
a foreign loan will give the creditor
right to intervene to collect the
interest.
President Wilson will not try to
rehabilitate Mexico with Mexican
money until Carranza requests the
war department to consider relaxing
the border embargo on general sup
plies but not munitions.
According TO unconfirmed reports
the state department is keeping alert,
as it believes that Villa is alive, but
che war department doubts that he
is. In the opinion of the war depart
ment If the expedition continues to
stay in Mexico it is unjustificd IN
doing SO from military standpoint.

BULLET In HIS HEART

LONDON, June 26.-(By Mail)--
The proudest wounded Tommy" in
London today is Private Henry Pierce
Some days ago Pierce had sharp
mel bullet in his heart. Today the
bullet is neatly mounted on wood
and occupies place of honor on a
table by Pierco's bed in a London
hospital.
British surgeons who nave marveled
at two similar operations in French
hospitals are studying the London
case at close range. Pierce has more
learned visitors than any hundred
other wounded "Tonimies."
An Australian surgeon, on tempo
rary duty in England, performed the
operation He found the sharpnel
lodged in the pericardium. Making
a tiny incision he picked the metal
out with his fingers.
