A FA.TAL HUNT FOR GOLD
The Sad Fate of two Prospectors
In the Rocky Mountains.
A leter from Denver, Col., says:
"Bill Farley, an old frontiersman,
has just returned to this city after
an absence of lour months in the
Medicine Bow country, whither he
departed on a prospecting tour in
company with James Wilson and
Jake Schurz, whose terrible fate
in an encounter with a grizzly he
relates in detail. It has been a
common belief for years that rich
placer deposits lay along the
Little Pass Creek, just south of
Elk Mountain, and last fall the
trio started out in search of the
hidden gold. After having lo
cated themselves, and and erected
a permanent tent, they discovered
that they had a huge grizzly bear
as a near-by neighbor. Bruno
contented himself for a night with
prowling about the camp, but as
time wore on the frequency of his
nocturnal visits suggested the ad
visability of getting rid of him in
some way, and various plans were
put forward. A hunt was pro
posed, but Schurz protested
against it, promising that the bear
would depart for "fresh fields and
pastures new," if let alone. Two
traps were set for him, however,
but in both cases he extracted the
bait without being caught, and
Schurz's prediction not being ful
filled, the prospectors grew
alarmed.
One night as the men were
lazily reclining on their blankets,
plotting to ambush the bear and
kill him, a sound of some heavy
body moving through the under
brush was heard, and looking in
the direction whence the noise
came they saw old bruin slowly
making his way toward them.
The men had thrown their rifles
aside, and unfortunately if they
moved the bear would be upon
them before they could reach their
weapons. Farley and Schurz had
a pistol each however, while "Wil
son was only armed with a bowie
knife. To attack the grizzly with
these weapons, however, was
perilous, but to remain there
hoping to be passed by unnoticed
was more so. After a hurried
conversation it was decided that
Farley and Schurz should crawl
out beneath the rear flap of the
tent, make a detour of the camp
to where the guns were, and then
open fire on their unwelcome
visitor, while Wilson remained
concealed in the tent.
They had hardly gone a half
dozen yards, however, when Far
ley accidentally stepped upon a
twig, which broke with a loud re
port. The grizzly fell back on his
hind quarters, uttered a furious
growl, and made for the tent on a
run, and almost before the two
men could realize it he had broken
throngh the canvas and was on the
inside. They saw immediately
that they could be of no use to their
unfortunate companion in his strug
gle with the bear, and they
therefore took shelter in the
branches of a tree near by. In
the dim light of the camp-fire
they saw the tent heaving with the
conflict for life raging within, and
while praying that Wilson would
come off victoriorious a wild death
cry told them that the struggle
was at an end. The commotion
within ceased with the fading
away of the horrible echo, and the
grizzly shambled out into the
light. He staggered around the
fire, surveyed the pool of syrup
on the ground, but seemed to
have no further appetite for it,
and then departed as abruptly as
be came.
When the men re-entered their
tent they found poor Wilson lit
erally torn to pieces. One side of
his head had been laid bare by a
blow from the grizzly's paw, and
the left side of the body, including
the heart, had been almost torn
away. The yet warm life blood
covered everything around, and in
the pool lay the knife with which
Wilson had vainly tried to defend
himself.
At early daybreak the two men
resolved to hunt the bear down,
and followed his trail until they
came to a thick underbrush, under
which the animal had disappeared.
Shultz, believing that the bear,
having been wounded by Wilson,
would not risk an encounter, en
tered the brush to scare him out,
Farley standing off so as to shoot
him the moment he appeared.
Shultz had hardly been gone five
minutes on his hazardous expedi
tion, when his companion was
startled by a yell that fairly froze
the blood in his veins. Following
immediately after it came the de
spairing cry, "Farlcyl My God!
I'm killed!" A deathly silence,
that was only broken by the
splashing of a beaver's tail in one
of the open dams, ensued, and
Farley knew that he had lost his
second partner.
It was with the feeling that he
was walking into the jaws of cer
tain death that he entered the
chaparral to seek Shultz. There
was no danger, however; the bear
had again fled. In a dark spot in
undergrowth, to which the rays of
the sun were unable to pene
trate. Farley, while crawling on
all fours fell over the body of
Shultz. When he had recovered
from the horror of the discover'
he dragged the remains out into
light. It was apparent from the
wounds that Shultz had stumbled
on the bear and received his death
wound before he could make an
effort to defend himself. His gun
was in his right hand as if trailing
it. The bear, surprised, hacl
struck him on the left shoulder,
tearing away clothes and flesh,
and then bit him through the heart
as he had Wilson, the two wounds
being almost identical. Farley
gave up the hunt. He carried the
remains of Shultz back to camp.
After having buried the two bod
ies and marked the double grave,
he left the country that afternoon
and retraced his steps to Denver.

Hotel keeping andpension keep
ing are the most importont indus
tries in the principal cities and
towns of Switzerland. Therefore,
Switzerland is one of the best
places in which to study human
nature, if we may believe Sten-
dahl, who says: "I have a pas
sionate desire to know human na
ture, and have a great mind to
livo in a boarding house, where
people cannot conceal their real
characters."
SYMPTOMS OF A DISEASED LIYEH.
Pain In the right f-lde, under edge of
rlb increasing on pressure; sometimes
the pain Is on the leftsido; the patient U
rarely ablo to lie on tho left side; some
times the pain is felt under the shoulder
nnd is sometimes taken for Rheumatism
in the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss of appetite and sickness ; the bowels
in general arc costive, sometimes alter
nating with laxity; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with adnll.hcavy
sensation in tho back part. There is gener
ally u considerable loss of metnoryt accom
panied with a painful sensation of having
left umlono something which ought to
have been done. A slight, dry cough is
sometimes attendant. The patient com
plains of weariness and debility; he is
easily startled ; his feet arc cold or burn
ing, nnd ho complains of a prickly sensa
tion of the skin; his spirits are low, and,
although ho is satisfied that exercise would
bo beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try It.
If you have any of the abovo symptoms,
vou can certainly be cured by the use of
