 Something occurred right ther. either cid man Powers dropped his hands to seize his gun or the man be hind the door began shooting, for the battle commenced. The man Tn tho door, with the gun jIst far enough cut to be turned. was firing in the direction where Kemp.n was station ed. and then turned the gun and fired at the place where Sheriff McBride was posted

 Sheriff Mcbride told Deputy Mar shal Haynes to watch the window, and he went in close to the house to do so. when he noticed that the sheriff bad fallen and his feet pro truded past the fence.
 Some twenty-five shots were fired then the shooting stopped and every thing was quiet
 At this time, Haynes said he went up to the window to look in, bHs could rec nothing There was no noise in the house. everything was perfectly quiet He then went to the place northwest of the house. where the horses were tied. got his horse and rode up the trail on the hill west Of the house. stopped for several miL- utes but could see no one near the house. then saw a man east of the house lying on the ground and thought ,st was Wootan. but on second glance saw it was not Wootan and might b. cd man Powers He heard no noise and believed the men in the house were dead.

One deputy residing at the Hilltop mine mentioned that the Powers brothers, CT at least two men that he believed to have been members of the gang. had been seen less than a mile from there Friday night Yet he was not worried.

MAN HUNTING LOSES GIAMOR WITH REALITY.
Py Review Corresuondent.


 Man hunting isn't half as much fun ss many of the younger fellows in the hills seeking the Powers brothers and Tom Sisson imagined it would be and numbers of these no doubt wish now that they had remained home where three square meals daily and an honest to goodness bed at night are assured.
 Those who are enjoying the man hunt most are the Arizonans who arr fond of liquor and who prefer it often CT and at a cheaper cost than when secured from bootleggers-
 RodeO is the mecca of most of the posses and numbers Of these are either making that town their headquarters or else find it necessary to go there often for supplies and information. In fact, is is safe to say that Rodeo is the most popular town of its size in New Eiexico al present
 ContTsry to the general belief of these who rave never visited the New Mexico town all of the buildings there in are not saloons. There is a hotel and a railroad station there. also. The writer feels duty bound to set the pub lie righ. in this respect
 One thing is certain and this is that ArizonaRs who depend cn boot leg brought from Rodeo fer their h. quor supply need hot worry that the town Sill be captured and the wet goods eoRfiscated by the Powers boys and Sisson- ROdeo is amply pro vided with deputies to prevent such ls tragedy.
 Sunday Not Off Day.
 Sunday is not an off day in ROdeo. judging iran the frequent trips made by dusty and weary deputies back 6Ocrwsrd to the rear of the saloons There medicine. which is highly rec ommeaaed for sore thrOats. bad colds and snake bits.- was dispensed at a neat DIesit to the saloon men. At least il is believed that such is the ease, since sore throats and colds dis appeared as if by magic when the travellers returned to the main street, calmly wiping their mouths on their ccat sleeves and grinning

PASSING OF BRUlN

TREADWELL, April 16.-One of the two bears which have been nur tured by L. s. Ferris for the past two years or more, was killed yes terday for the reason that it had. ar rived at the stage where it apprec- iatcd the sentiment embodied in the coupet:-
 stone walls dc not a prison make, Nor Iron bars q cage"
 Tn fact, the bear, having become cognizant of it's own strength, re fused longer to be enyironed, but persisted in escaping and roaming around at pleasure. Hence, it was "henced." In this connection it is said Ferris handed around some bear steaks yesterday evening but up-to- date there is no report of anyone feeling offended because they were overlooked On the other hand, 1t k highly probable that those who were favored" with the choice outlets, wished in the basement stories of their hearts that the bear had eth CT continued it's winter sleep through out the dim vistas of all time to come or had hied himself back to tho virgin and primeval forest before the deadly Ferris assailed it with his unerring rifle And at that, bear steaks are all right-so long as they are not molested but allowed to re main in the bear.
