SLAIN BY GRIZZLY
Trapper Lost Out in Stand-Up
Fight With Forest King.
From Evidence It Seemed That An.
lmaI Had Been Taken In Trap,
but Had Broken Away.

Joseph Duret, pioneer hunter and
trapper, a man who knew all the tricks
Of the game, was killed near Livings.
ton. Mont., recently by a grizzly bear.
Duret owned a nice ranch In the south
ern part of Park county, Montana. near
the boundary Of the Yellowstone Ma.
tional park, and he knew all the tricks
of the hunting game, was we'll aware
Of the danger Of encountering a vic.
ious bear and yet he appears to have
flirted with death in trying to kill alone
huge grizzly, and to have lost.
Duret caught the animal In one OF
his game traps-a huge steel device
that fastened itself with n clamp about
the paw. He hastily returned home
for his large-bore rifle and told his
wife Of his catch. Mrs. Duret never
saw him again. His failure to return
prompted her to search the hills with
dogs In vain. Then she appealed to
the Yellowstone park rangers. -
They spread out over the country
and after long search w. Hutchings,
assistant at the park buffalo corrals,
and Ranger William T'ehnoff found
Duret's mangled body nearly two miles
from where he had engaged In a life
and-death struggle with the beast. It
was wild, desOlate place not ten
miles from where Duret In 1910, was
introduced to and warmly greeted by
President Roosevelt.
Pieces Of hair and torn flesh, rem.
nants Of the broken trap and a clawed
and chewed rife told the story Of the
fight Duret made. Superintendent
Horace M. Albright Of Yellowstone
park, who Investigated the old hunt
er's death, said the grizzly was a
veteran brute of the park for which
hunters had covered many q mile 1t
apparently had succeeded in breaking
away from the trap after Duret fred
q shot. It is believed the bear broke
q chain which attached the trap to a
tree. then attacked the hunter, whose
rifle had apparently jammed.
1t was apparent that Duret had
tried to defend himself by using his
rife az a club, but his fight was use.
less. One arm and a leg were torn off
and the body was mangled. 1t Is be-
iieved he became unconscious, then
revived after the bear had wearied
Of his prey and dragged away the
chain attached to the trap. Signs in.
dicated that Duret managed to crawl
about two miles toward his home. The
rangers say he must have retained full
possession Of his faculties, AZ he was
making straight line to his ranch
when death overlook him.

WHAT TIVE EDITOR SAYS

now
Texas politics not yet clear"
What politics are clear? An
swer that.
The news reports said: "Tol
bert takes oath of office" What
is the oath of some men and
things worth?
Coley Blease is known as the
governor who turned the crimi-
nails out. Wilson G. Harvey as
the governor who did not.
Tuesday November seventh is
election day. 1t is the duty of
all Democrats to vote just as if
the party candidates had oppo-
sition.
That old Stillman case bobs up
every now and then. To the
eyes and noses of real decency
this case is so repulsive and Of
fensive that it should be buried
from sight. But then some other
sepulchral case would take it's
place. Great is America.
The Blue Nose" is the name
of the Canadian fishing vessel
that Won the trophy cup over the
American vessel named Henry
Ford" !" Now if If it it iadd had been Red
Nose" Henry would have come
out first possibly. But the red
nose is not so prominent as in
days gone by.
Old Booze is writhing in it's
death struggle. 1t is doomed.
N" one not even those financially
or bellyancially interested in The
popskull stuff really believe pro-
hibition is failure. The very
tact that prohibition is fought 50
hard is evidence of it's true worth
and it's success. People do not
fight dead lions but real live ones.
Governor Harry revoked the
parole granted by Governor
Cooper to convict. Judge
Prince ruled that the governor
had no power to revoke the pa.
role and turns the criminal loose.
Possibly the Judge reasoned that
the convicts had little chance
of getting free by pardons or
paroles of our Law-and Order
governor and that he would help
the poor misguided creatures a
little. Well Judge, the criminal
class think more highly of you
now. No matter what we law.
and.order folks think.
Some farmers and planters are
SO prejudiced against what they

COUNTY CLERKS OFFICE REALLY
IS A BIG BUSINESS INSTITUTION

One of the really big business
concerns of Pueblo county is the office
of the county clerk and recorder
one item of the business is the filing
and recording of Instruments taken to
that office; of these there have been
$4,000 during 1921
Pueblo county was established 55
Years ago, and during that period
there have been filed in the office of
the recorder and clerk 295. 900 instru-
ments: all of these have gone thru the
reception books; some for filing and
some for recording. The filed instru-
ments are kept on file in cases pre-
pared for the service. Tine recorded
Instruments go into books made e--
pecially for each class or form of in
strument These books are 10 by is
inches in size, each containing 500
pages. and 525 of such books have been
filled and shelved. while 30 are now
In process of filling. In addition there
are so volumes OF indexes, half of them
being arranged alphabetically under
the names Of the grantors. and the
other half under the names OF the
grantees, so that n person knowing the
name of either the grantor or the
grantee. can easily find the record.
In some states the county clerk and
the registrar or recorder of deeds are
distinct officials, but In Colorado one

In the matter of automobile licenses
the clerk in 1922 will issue about three

Farmers Harvesting
Bumper Hay Crop

Good reports come from all
parts of Vermont about the pres
ent seasons hay crop. Farmers
who did not start haying until last
week have been harvesting one of
the best hay crops in years under
ideal conditions. Until a week ago
the weather was wet and unfavor-
able, but there was great body to
the volume Of the grass and some
farmers have THERE barns brim-
ming full already, with acres of
the best grass still standing.
One farmer reports his haying
little over half done, but twice as
much hay in his barn as from his
entire cut last season. But he, like
nearly everyone else, will need it,
as his barns were empty this
spring even before the stock went
out to pasture.
All other crops in this vicinity
have been growing with a jump
the past few days, corn especially
growing inches almost as one looks
at it overnight. The wet weather
had kent it back.

ANOTHER ARREST
MADE IN THE
DANVILLE
Napoleon Paradis Pleads
Guilty to Misconduct
With Sylvia WOOdard

Sheriff Worthen and States At
torney Campbell went to Harvey'5
Hollow Friday forenoon and ar
rested Napoleon Paradis of Dan
vile on the charge of a statutory
offense against Sylvia Woodland of
Danville.
The arrest is a result of the
developments in the three cases
that have been heard during the
last few days in Caledonia county
court, in which the juries return
ed verdicts of guilty against a trio
of Danville men, who are now in
the county Jail awaiting sentence
In each of these cases Sylvia
Woodard, the 14-year old daugh-
ter of Charles Woodard of Har-
vey's Hollow, was the principal
witness, although there was sutfi-
cient corroborating evidence evid-
emily to warrant the jury in re
turning the verdicts they did.
Paradis was brought to st.
Johnsbury Friday forenoon and
plead guilty to the charge.
The quartet, Charles Gray,
Richard Hatfield, Henry Larue
and Napoleon Paradis, were
brought into court Friday after
noon for sentence.
Friday forenoon the court heard
the divorce case of Harold H.
Amick of Hardwick against Mabel
B. Amick. Mrs. Amick's maiden
name was Mandigo. The marriage
tcok place in Hardwick July 2,
1908. A petition was asked on the
ground Of wilful desertion. The
petitioner was represented by At
torney Shepard of Hardwick.
There was no appearance of the
partitionee, and there was no con-
test.
Several other divorce cases are
to be heard next week.
