CATTLE INSPECTOR KILLS BIG BEAR
 WITH A CLUB

J. H. T. Cosper, of Blue, a resident of that section for forty years pas. and known all over the county as Uncle Toles,'' was here this week shipping cattle, and brought to town a bear story that's worth repeating.
 Whenever there is a bear killing on the Blue Toles Cosper usually plays the leading part as is evidenced by the beautiful selection of bear hides of all kinds and descriptions that adorn the walls Of his home. But this time, inStead of playing the lead, that part was taken by tenderfoot in the person of J. O Harrel, of Deming, N. M., who had been on the Cosper ranch for several days count ing and inspecting cattle for the War Finance Corporation. The story is vouched for by several of the Cosper cowboys and Harrel blushingly admits it.
 While engaged in rounding up cat tie in the big Cosper pasture, con taining many square miles, the drag net thrown around the herd included MT Bruin As the circling cowboys threw the herd closer and closer to- gether Bruin could s&and the strain no longer and picked what he COZ sidered the easiest way out, choos- ing the spot where Harre1 was stand ing guard. The bear left the herd win everything he had running 1n high gear, but Harrel, accompanied by two COW dogs gave chase and after run of several miles the dogs ran MT Bear up a tree. Harrel was without firearms of any description but conceived the brilliant idea of tying the dogs to the tree while he 1 returned to the COW camp for guns and assis, .ance.
 Returning with Jimmie Cosper. sure enough bruin was still perched in the tree with the dogs on watch. Cosper was only armed with six shooter bU. succeeded in wounding the bear after which there was rip roarin' time all around before bruin was dislodged from the tree and fin 1 ally dispatched with a club for a weapon.
 Harrel shipped the hide.to his home in Deming on Wednesday for sou venier.
