Nautical HuntersYAt
Flathead lake Kill A
Brown Bear; Preacher
Leads I'm The Chase

A bear In the water is worth
two on the land. This Is evidently
the belief of Rev. w. f. Couch.
Stillman Ross and Clarence Fry,
all of Missoula. who recently killed
a large brown bear In Flathead
lake.
MIR. Couch reported the killing of
the bear, which followed an energetic
chase In row boat--the motor pow
err for which was furnished by the
preacher himself. The men, stand
ing in front OF their camping place
near the Heisley cottage at Camp Idle
wild. at the lake. noticed a moving
object in the lake. They thought IL
was q deer. A view through a tele-
scope revealed that It was bear
swimming about. There was a mad
rush for boat-and the chase start
ed.
The bear, which Is estimated TO
weigh about 800 pounds, WAS pretty

The nautical huntsmen headed him
off and started him out into the lake
again. Then another mad rush was

cured and the chase resumed.
Two shots each pierced the bears
head. A rope was tied TO one of
the animals legs and he was towed
to shore.
Mr.. Couch states that regardless OF
his profession, 1t was necessary to
tow the animal behind motor boat
and put him on exhibition before the
other campers would believe the tale
they had told.

B ONES of Bear and
Man Tell A Gruesc me
Silent Story of Early
Day Mountain Battle

A relic OF fight In which a
man and a bear each lost his life
has fallen into the hands of Pat
Paisley OF MIssoula who acquired
the article from Alex Donnelley,
fire patroIman of the East Selway
forest. The relic is an old cap and
ball pistol, covered with rust of
many years, and was found by Mr..
Donnelley on top OF the Selway d.
vide, near the Montana-Idaho state
line.
The gun which has three charged
chambers, was found among the
bones of the man and bear, and the
finder believes that the gun tells the
story of q mighty struggle for life
In which both the contestants lost.
The bones were bleached white, which
leads to the belief that the fight took
place many years ago, and this belief
is strengthened by the apparent age
OF the gun, which is OF d type manu-
featured prior to the Civil war.
Mr.. Paisley has removed part of
the rust from the barrel OF the wea-
pom and with the aid of a glass the
IoHOWlng WORDS are discernanle, 80
calibre---pr---Colonel." He hopes
that further polishing will reveal the
name OF the owner Of the gun. which
might give clue to the identity of
the skeleton.
The bones of the man and the beast
were found about three miles from
the spot where, two years ago, the
skeleton OF man. with both arms
imprisoned in steel bear trap, was
discovered by men patrolling the fire
lines. The identity OF this unfortun-
ate man remains mystery. as prob
ably will that of the skeleton whose
bony hand clasped the weapon, now
but the relic of lost fight.

REV. I. S. WILSON, for several
years pastor of Campbell A. NJ. e.
Church, entered upon his duties as
Presiding Elder of this district the first
part of the week. 1t goes without say
ing that the many friends of Rev. Will
son are more than proud to note his ad-
vance in the ministerial field, and yet
genuine regret is expressed on all sides
that he is to he taken from Campbell,
for no more popular pastor has ever
filled the pulpit Mt his church. There
is consolation in knowing. however
that his duties will necessitate his he
ing in Denver and that he will main
tain his residence here during the
term of service as Presiding Elder.

AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATIONS
MAGAZINE
Praises Legislation Urged BY Denver
Branch, NJ. A. A. C. p.

When a bill was before the Colorado
power to- the various cities of the
state to enact zoning laws, the Off
GERS of the Denver branch of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People called upon
the Senate committee having the bill
in charge to urge that nothing be in
cluded in the proposed Zonlng law
that would in any way imperil the
rights of Negro citizens as property
owners or be in conflict with the pro-
visions of the Civil Rights bill.
The sponsors of the bill readily as
sured the officers that nothing inim-
ical to our rights would be permitted
to pass the committee, but our race
representatives insisted upon posi-
tive declaration of policy that could
not be misunderstood. And so Sena-
tor Henry Wolcott Toll was appealed
to with the following result:
The American Bar Associations S
magazine, The Journal, for March,
1924, contains an article entitled
"Zoning Laws and Ordinances" by
J. z. Chamberlain and Sterling Pier
son, in which appears the sentence:
1.-The Colorado law is notewor-
thy in its provision that il shall
not be construed to confer or en-
large any authority or power TO
establish any restriction based
upon race or color"

My Dear Mr.. Gross:
The President is deeply gratified by
the loyal interest in his administra-
tlon which has prompted the forma-
ton of the Calvin Coolidge Club of

whether you are yourself an officer,
so that unfortunately he has no means
of expressing to its officers his appre-
citation. / am sure, however, that 1t
will be very real help in bringing
about the result which we all desire.
Very truly yours,
