Question: question: The University of Virginia (U.Va. or UVA), frequently referred to simply as Virginia, is a public research university and the flagship for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Founded in 1819 by Declaration of Independence author Thomas Jefferson, UVA is known for its historic foundations, student-run honor code, and secret societies. 

UNESCO designated UVA as America's first and only collegiate World Heritage Site in 1987, an honor shared with nearby Monticello. The university was established in 1819, and its original governing Board of Visitors included Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe. Monroe was the sitting President of the United States at the time of its foundation. Former Presidents Jefferson and Madison were UVA's first two rectors and Jefferson conceived and designed the original courses of study and Academical Village. 

UVA was the first elected member of the Association of American Universities from the South, in 1904, and remains the only member institution in Virginia. UVA is classified as a "Research University with Very High Research" by the Carnegie Foundation, and is considered Virginia's flagship university by the College Board. In 2015 the journal "Science" honored UVA faculty for discovering two of its top 10 annual scientific breakthroughs; from the fields of Medicine and Psychology.

question: CHAPTER XXIII. 

THE BLACK BEAR. 

"Somebody is coming!" ejaculated Sam. "I hope it is Dick, with Mr. Barrow!" 

"So do I," returned Tom. 

Without saying a word more, Jasper Grinder ran from the inner cave and joined Baxter and the guide. His face was pale, and he was evidently much disturbed. 

Soon Baxter and his party were outside, and the Rover boys heard them moving up and down the gully. Several minutes passed, and then came a gunshot, followed by another. 

"I hope they are not firing on Dick or Mr. Barrow," said Sam, with something of a shudder. 

"I guess not," returned his brother. "If they were, we'd probably hear shots in return." 

An hour went by, and then Dan Baxter and the others came back, the guide carrying several rabbits and a large fox. The rabbits were skinned and kept for eating, and the fox was skinned and the carcass thrown away. 

Tom and Sam had expected Jasper Grinder to return to them, but if the former teacher desired to do this, he was prevented by Dan Baxter, who kept his companions close by him, around the fire. 

Slowly the time went by until darkness was upon them. The fire was kept up, but Baxter screened it as much as possible, so that the glare might not penetrate to the forest beyond the gully and prove a beacon to guide Dick and John Barrow to the spot. 

The boys were tired out, and soon Sam sank to sleep, with his hands still tied to the tree roots. Tom tried to keep awake, but half an hour later he, too, was in dreamland.

question: CHAPTER XXI 

OFF FOR THE MINING DISTRICT 

While Jack Wumble was off attending to his private business the three Rover boys took a stroll through Denver. 

The city was different from any they had visited, and their walk was full of interest. 

Coming to a store in the window of which were exhibited a number of Indian curiosities, the boys halted to examine the objects, when Tom uttered a sudden cry. 

"Look, Dick! There is Bradner inside!" 

"Yes, and Dan Baxter is with him!" returned the elder brother quickly. "Here's luck, surely!" 

"Will you have them locked up?" asked Sam. 

"To be sure--if we can." 

The boys looked around for a policeman, but none happened to be in sight. 

"Run and see if you can find one," said Dick to Sam. "Tom and I can watch the pair." 

At once Sam made off. But policemen were not numerous, and it took quite some time to locate one and explain what was wanted. 

In the meantime Dan Baxter had caught sight of Tom and told Bradner of his discovery. 

Boy and man came out of the store in a great hurry. They were about to run off when Dick caught Bradner by the arm, while his brother halted the former bully of Putnam Hall. 

"Let go of me!" hissed Bradner, and as Dick paid no attention he aimed a blow for the youth's head. But Dick "had been there before," and dodged, and the force of his effort nearly took the rascal off his feet. Before he could recover Dick had him down on his back and was sitting on his chest.
