THRILLING CLIMAX ENDS GREATEST BEAR FIGHT
 STAGED IN SOUTHWEST

GLOBE. Ariz.. Jan. Howard Parks. cattleman Of Dripping Springs. was in the city yesterday and told the bear story of the season.
 Jim and Bob Henry. said Parks, run q herd in the range near Alma. close to the line between New Mexico and Arizona. Of late they have lost some calves for which they blamed an old black bear. whose tracks they found on their range. and consequent ly, although neither was armed. when the brothers caught sight of bruin a few weeks ago. they gave chase with their COW ponies.
 The bear ran, said Parks, and the ponies ran and the brothers shouted and pursued until the horses were tired out. Over the rough mountain country the chase led At last the bear was worn down to walk and the COW ponies to shuffle The country grew rougher and rougher and the ponies stopped. The bear was making slow progress toward a narrow canyon The brothers dis. mounted and continued the chase on foot. Then Jim, the older. conceived brilliant idea.
 That old bear is so tired you can head him anywhere" he said Head him up that canyon and I'll cut over the divide and get ahead of him. When he comes up the canyon I'll hide. and when he gets close I'll knock him on tine head with a pole. ''
 It was so ordered. and Jim took his stand !n the narrow canyon. be- hind boulder al the head oi steep cascade. The only pass upward was in the bed of the creek. The bear ap- peared. as per program. fleeing from Bob. and started to climb the acclivi- ty. Jim stepped out to smite him with mighty club which he had ga thered. His foot slipped and he slid down the slippery incline and under the most astonished bear in the southwest.
 The Homeric combat which follow. ed, as told by Parks. deserves place in history beside the tale of St. George and the dragon.
 The bear reached Jim and tore his clothes. from collar 10 boots, into shrsds. He seized Jims arm. but he was an old bear and his teeth were bad. so Jim still has the regulation number of limbs. Five minutes Of rough and tumble. catch-as- catch can rumpus followed. ending with Jim un- derneath and the bear too tired 10 finish him. Jim dared not let go and the bear wouldn't
 At this juncture, said Parks. Bob reached the pair. leaped astride the bears back and cut his throat with his pocketknife. spelling the best bear fight since the Ark grounded on Ararat

NO CASH FOR SOME
 STATE EMPlOVES ON
 JAN. 15TH WARRANTS


 PHoENlN. Jan s.-There will be no money for state employees who are paid out of the general fund when they receive their warrants on Jan. Is. that fund being among those ex- hausted. according 10 the report yes terday by Raymond Earhart. state treasurer. These warrants. therefore. will have to be registered by the re oipients. It is probable that no state money will be forthcoming until June
 The total receipts of the first half of the 1921 taxes collected by Treas, urer Earhart. which amounted to s2,. eS6.000 and was distributed among the different funds. was fast dc- pleted. due to the outstanding war rants. The last half of the 1921 taxes will not be collected until June so those holding claims against exhaust. cd funds will register their warrants with the state which was the earl3 autumn policy
 It is not at all unusual for ,hs state to be in its present financial situation" MT Earhart said last eve ming. The only difference, as he pointed out. is that the banks for. Inerly accepted warrants which bear interest at per cent
 In order 10 make the state war. rants attractive to the banks the last state legislature attempted to pass an ional with the funding commission composed or the governor. treasurer and auditor. Under this act the in. terest could have been raised from to per cent. but by the failure of the legislature to include the enact NAeAcf- AAt at "dS GtCldEtu uU- constitutional null and void Besides the general fund the ex- hausted state funds include the fol. lowing funds; Asylum for insane operations, asylum for insane build ing and improvement; asylum for insane repairs. remodeling and re newals; bureau of mines; date palm orchard; date palm orchard and hor- ticulture; date palm orchard, O.

Except al the lowest elev- ations the ground in the White Noun tain region is covered with nearly a foot of snow. The water situation in the major grazing sections nf the state has been greatly helped and the soil is thoroughly saturated by ;he slow rain that preceded the snow storm.
