The rider continued on until the circle was completed and not having seen any more signs of the bear was sure he was In the hole. So we talked bear most of the evening and the desire to capture him was quite across the country arriving in Cas- per broke. They came to the As- sociated Charities and applied for help. Miss Ellis told them she could not give them money for food or a room but she persuaded them to take an odd job for the day. More work Was secured for them the next day and then-she secured steady work for them’on a ranch, “Apparently the boys had become addicts to the wanderlust habit and they were in falr way of becoming professional hoboes,” the secretary taid.

WOOD The publicity given the Teapot Dome in the past year | brings to my mind an incident that occurred in that same cattle ranch on Powder river of the twenty men who mad¢ evident and the temptation to go after him was too strong to be re- sisted, here was a chance for some real sport. Dick Ray told of heip- ing to rope and tie a buffalo cow, Nate Champion had roped and sub: dued a bull elk, Joe Daze had helped to capture a mountain Hon and most of the boys were anxious to take part in taking Mr. Bear. We all Knew that the experience would be accompanied by danger as most horses are deathly afraid of bear and even the smel] of bear makes some of them almost crazy. So to set a horse near enough to a fight- ing bear to rope it generally requires a lot of good management and horse- manship. There were four or five who did not seem overly anxious to take the risk, s0 they were to herd the cattle and horees. The next morning by sun up there were fifteen cowpunchers mounted on their war horses, with saddiles tightly cinched, with six shooters bu don and ropes ready, riding across the flat toward where the bear was supposed to be. A gentle breeze was blowing from the north; so we were in, no danger of being scented by the bear. Al Smith, the fellow who had located the bear, was slightly in the lead with Daze and Champion on either side; the rest were to stay back a little and {f the three in advance succeeded in coaxing Mr. Bear out, then we were to butt in as opportunity pre- sented itself. If we had not known a bear was in the country we could have told something unusual was near, by the way the horses acted, especially the three in advance. They were hard to control. They acted lke they wanted to obey their masters one instant, and the next their only thought was to get away; but they were gradually worked to the edge of the little bank and the riders could look over. The bear was at home to callers, quite likely the Prancing horses on the ground over him had awakened him; but if he had not been thus awakened, he could not have remained long un- disturbed for A) Smith's horse either sot sight of the bear, or the hole in the bank or both, for he gave a terrific snort and wheeled and jumped about twenty feet. At about the same time the bear stuck his head out of the hole to see whether it was a cyclone or a herd of buffalo making all the noise, and while he was investigating and making his your barns or right sort.

Che Casper Sunday Cribune ‘BEAR’ STORIES ON TEAPOT NOT ALL FOUND IN COURT--COWBOY HERE TELLS REAL ONE plans of procedure, Daze swung his rope for the first throw which land- ed neatly around Mr. Bea: neck, His horse for the instant became un- manageable and wheeled and sprung away, So sudden and quick was the spring that the slack of the rope was taken up, just about the time he made his bis lunge with one end of the rope fastened to an 900 pound grizzly bear and the other end to a heavy saddle on a 1,109 pound mustang. It was too much and the rope parted in the loop, at the bear's end. The bear seemed Inclined to show us that he did not need any help to get up the bank, he went over the top and looked and acted like he meant business. He seemed to want to get in touch with Daze again and started after him; but as he made the start Champion swung in his rope over the bear's head, just as the bear was in the air on a yomp and he got his front. feet through the noose. When the rope tightened it was a tremendous strain but the rope held. The bear was jerked almost double and the horse almost off his feet. Al Smith's horse had got his breath by this time and Smith tried to get his rope on the bears hind legs but failed. But just as the bear had straightened up and decided to follow up his lead toward Champton, Ron threw his rope over the bear's head and between the two they stretched him out between them, Then by this time Smith had gotten back and his next throw netted better results. The bear was a Uttle steadier in consequence of being almost raised off the ground by two ropes attached to him, and too, two frightened horses in op- posite directions, so Smith neatly pieked up both his hind feet with his rope and they had him helpless. All three of the horses holding the bear were pulling back anxious to keep as far from the bear as pos- sible, and the bear seemed by this time to be perfectly quiet. When the ropes were relaxed the bear lay limp on the ground, apparently dead. Someone took the rope from arougd the bear’s neck which had shut his wind off. We all supposed he was dead, the otfier two ropes were slackened a little and everybody was smiling his satisfaction with the out- come of the show, when without a second’s warning the bear was on his feet and rushed onto the nearest horse. As the bear jumped to his feet the noose which had been hold- ing hia hind feet was loosened and dropped off, the one around his head had been taken off so the only one holding was that of Champion around his body. The bear, when he started, ran quartering with Champion's horse and the horse only got turned partly around when the rope tightened. The bear's rush wag sudden and furious, and catch: ing Champion's horse sideways Jerked him off his feet. Up to this time round number two was the bear's, He had gotten rid of two out of three ropes and jerked the other horse off his feet, cut a couple of button holes in the hide of one horse and gave another one quite a gash on the ham, for not getting back quick enough. This only took about two seconds. Everybody had his rope ready and three ropes settled over the bear’s head and were drawn tight, another one picked up a hind foot and Mr. Bear was firmly held. As no one was wanting to see anything more serious than had al- ready happened, Davis, later known as “Hard Winter Davis,” shot him in the ear and the show was over, all but skinning him and bringing in the beautiful robe and a portion of the meat.
