parts together as nice As I could with
my hands. . This gave us . lesson
on the character Of the grizzly bear
which We did not forget
Six members of the Lewis and Clark
party were foolish enough to pick on
a grizzly near the mouth of the Vel
lowStone- They saw the bear, lying
down about 800 yards from the Mis-
souri, river and knowing that one or
two shots would probably only serve
to infuriate the animal, they hit upon
plan of attack they believed would
prove effective. Gaining the protection
of small knoll, they crept up to
within 10 yards of the bear and four
men fired at him simultaneously.
Two of the bullets tore through his
lungs but instead Of falling dead as
intended. the roaring beast tore after
his aSsailants. The two remaining
hunters fired. one shot breaking the
bears shoulder. But this delayed him
for only a second. The six had no
time to reload. They took to their
heels. Two Of the men jumped into a
canoe. The other four ran in different
directions, reloading as they had OPP
portunity and firing again at the beast
The bear pursued two of them into
the river and had almost overtaken
one when a shot from the bank killed
him. The hunters dragged their prey
to shore and discovered eight holes
at diverse angles through his body.
The Lewis and Clark expedition in
dulged in no further grizzly hunting
They liked adventure. but not that
well.

Trun,peter Swans
Facing Extinction

Conservationists, alarmed at the slow
rate of increase of the trumpeter swan,
rarest American waterfowl. are seek
ing from sportsmen the same type of
vigilant cooperation given in 1884
when its chances of surviving the
hunting season were precarious.
Sportsmen in Idaho, Montana, Wyo-
ming and Utah, where the swans oc-
cur during hunting seasons, are urged
to take special precautions to prevent
the shooting of this rare bird, accord
ing to the United States department
of the interior.

some days, in which he subsisted on
wild cherries and buffalo berries, he
crawled south clear to the Cheyenne
river and floated downstream to Fort
kiowa, where he recovered.
Jed Smith, a notable man in the
fur trade and one of the discoveries
of South pass, who later met death
at the hands of Indians on the banks
of the Cimarron, also had notable
brush with a grizzly.
Smith became a partner of William
Sublette and Thomas Fitzpatrick and
together with James Clyman and sew
eral others they set out on a trapping
trip over the Black Hills to the south
west
Near the South Cheyenne river they
came upon bear. The account is told
by Clyman in his notes. The party was
passing through a brushy bottom
walking in single file leading pack
horses when the bear struck the CEN
ter Of the line. Smith ran to the open
ground and as he emerged from the
thicket he and the bear met face to
face.
Bear and man sprawled on the
ground in a terrific battle but the
grizzly was killed by Smiths comrades
before it could administer the coup de
grace.
Home Talent Surgery
To Clyman fell the job of sewing
Smith back together. Regarding this
his notes say:
Il asked the captain Smith what
was the best and he said one or two
go for water and if you have a needle
and thread get it out and sew up my
wounds around my head which were
bleeding SO freely. I got a pair of
scissors and cut off his hair and then
began my first job of dressing wounds
Upon examination I found the bear
had taken nearly all his head into his
capacious mouth close to his left eye
On one side and close to his right ear
on the other and laid his skull bare
to near the crown of the head leaving
a white streak where his teeth passed.
One of his ears was torn from his
head out to the outer rim After
stitching all the other wounds in the
best way I was capable and according
to the captains directions. the ear be-
ing the last, told him I could do
nothing for his ear. Oh, you must try
to stitch it up some way or other,
said he. Then I put in my needle,
stitching it through and through and
over and over laying the lacerated

HIGH COURT DENIES
REHEARING ON RELIEF

The Montana supreme court denied
the state welfare board a rehearing
on the lawsuit filed against it by
Lewis and Clark county. The case in
volved the ALLEGATION Of the $3.50 900
relief appropriation for 194l-1942.
Earlier the court had sustained the
county's contention that the relief ap-
preparation should be allocated to the
counties in inverse ratio to their per
capita taxable valuations. The welfare
board had commended that the appro-
priation should be allocated strictly
on a basis Of need.

The Washington Civic Theater
will hold try-outs Saturday night
at the theater headquarters, 2O2O

two plays. One is the show the
group plans to take out of town

staged at the Wardman Park Thea

The production group of the Civic
Theater will meet Sunday evening
to discuss plans for the remainder
of the season, to hear reports on
the last play, The Gentle People, ~
and to receive reports of the direc-
tor, the theater school and the
various committees.
Meanwhile a major portion of
Civic's energy is being directed
toward rehearsals Of George Ber-

be presented at the Wardman Park

After q Years

Just % years ago, Harry Sher-
man, then not nearly so we'll known
or so we'll supported financially as
he is now, bought Edmund Days
famous play, The Roundup" Sher-
man planned to find a heavyweight
in Hollywood to star in the film
version of the classic, but found
that he'd spent so much for the
play he had little left to make a
picture with.
Now an independent producer who
releases through Paramount, Sher-
man has the film in production with
Richard Dix, Preston Foster and
Patricia Morrison in the starring
roles.
I'm taking more interest in this
picture than in any I've ever made, "
the producer says. because I've
been waiting for % years for the
chance to do it."
