BILLY.

Following are extracts from let
ter written to his mother dated June
23:
Everything is going fine here and
I'm still seeing France and enjoying
myself immensely without going thru
many hardships of war that some
outfits are. The Americans that are up
on the front are certainly giving
good account of themselves and are
showing the Boche a few of the fine
points of the game. and they have
demonstrated that as soon as we get
few more miles of the line in the
American hands that things will be
whole lot different, and that it isn't
going to take so long to finish the job
as some people thought few weeks
ago. Every day reports come in how
they have either frustrated German
attack or carried out successful one
of their own. but never a one where
they have lost an inch or failed to
gain when they once started. 1t all
looks good and the boys are all in
fine spirits and eager to do their bit.

A great variety of accounts Of Sara
toga's recent bear hunt have appeared
in the papers from all parts of the
state, the only similarity in the ac
counts being that all, without excep-
ton, had the details of the story en-
tirely wrong in every way. Some say
the bear came down the river on a raft,
no doubt heading for the Pathfinder
dam on a fishing expedition, other re-
port his discovery while riding around
the race track on a bicycle, while one
otherwise fairly reputable journal re-
lates a considerable story Of how Ray
mond Ault discovered the tracks of the
animal on the cement sidewalk, stalked
him Indian-fashion by means of his
footprints up and down telephone poles,
across tin roofs of buildings occupied
by flOcks of schoolma'ams, across the
Platte river in high water stage and fl
nally discovered the animal out In the
wilds, where he was roped, hog-tied and
brought to town by a bunch of wild
and woolly cowpunchers. 1t is now
about time for "Wyoming's greatest

sensational special telegram" the
story being now about two weeks old.
