One hot afternoon last week when
the town was dull and the heat, op
pressive, the Herald man, in search
for "copy," dropped into Judge
Campbell's office and found the
Judge and Sheriff McDuffee trying
to keep each other co;r with stories
of tlyi mountains. Just at the time
the scrib dropped in the subject of
bear was under discussion and tho
judge, looking at a calendar picture
of a mother bear and her two cubs
hanging on tho wall, said: "That
is a clumsy looking animal and it
seems to me that an active man
ought to be able to run away from
her,"
"Don't you ever think it," replied
the sheriff. "I know because I have
tried it and if my good, old sheep
dog had not fallen a hand in the
race I would not be telling you the
story this afternoon I'd be dead."
"It happened a good many years
ago," continued the sheriff, when I
was a youngster and I was a pretty
good sprinter in thosi days, too. I
was herding sheep for Thomson
Bros, on upper Willow creek ne
the foot of Arbuckle mountain and
Charlie Thomson was tending camp.
Ho came to my camp one afternoon
and after resting a while, took v:
gun and went out to look for a deer.
Towards evening I went out to look
after tho sheep and as I started down
a sleep hill into a canyon I saw
where a big tree had been blown
over and torn a big bole out of the
hillside that looked like a sinal1
cave. With lh( natural curiosity of
a boy, wanted to Investigate that
cave and started to crawl in. Thirty
seconds la'er my curiosity had all
oozed away and I was oozing down
that hill as fast as my nimble sprin
ters legs could carry me. Just as I
started to crawl in that hole a big
bear started to walk out. and we met
at the threshhold. The bear stopped
long enough to say 'whuff but I
didn't slop to say anything; I just
started on my journey and tho few
feet start I had looked good to me
but I soon found that when it come
to running through thick brush I
was outclassed. Just when the bear
was within one jump of getting me
my old dog appeared on the scene
and with true canine Intelligence,
started a flank movement against
the enemy by nailing tho bear by the
(ail and hanging on. Bear, like some
people, are able to think of but one
tiling at a time and in this case the
bear immediately forgot me and
turned to see what, the trouble was
in the rear. I can't remember of
any lime in my life when 1 enjoyed
running more than I did on that, oc
casion and when 1 llnaiiy slowed
down and started back to camp I
knew that my future profession
slioul he footracing. You may think,
judge, that a mail can on (run a lieai
but 1 am here lo iell you that he
can only do it after the bear stops
running.
"On.' thing I remember is that I
never loaned Charlie Thomson m
gun again."

FORMER HEPPJfEB PASTOK
K.VEW PRESIDENT LINCOLN
In the latest issue of the Union
Pacific Magazine is a picture of Rev.
Stephen Phelps with a short sketch
of his life.
Rev. Phelps is the father of A. M.
Phelps, of this city, and was for a
time pastor of the Federated church
here. He is now residing at Van
couver, Washington.
Concerning the pastor, the maga
zine articlje says:
"Reverend Stephen Phelps, one of
the founders, and first president of
Coe College, Cedar Rapids, and now
a Presbyterian minister, remembers
well the Lincoln-Douglas debate. His
father and Abraham Lincoln had
been young men together and a fast
friendship had sprung up between
them. Lincoln was a frequent visi
tor at the Phelps home and young
Stephen often blacked the boots of
their distinguished guest. He says
of Lincoln, 'I love to remember that,
just before he delivered his speech
in the senatorial debate with Judge
Stephen A. Douglas, lie took my
hand in his and looked down into
my very soul with his wonderful
eyes, and said, 'God bless you, my
boy.' "
Rev. Phelps was an intimate friend
of many of the prominent Union Pa
cific officials at Council Bluffs, and
A. M. tells the story of how, when
his father and mother were about
to leave Council Bluffs for Hepp
ner a few years ago, Mr. Phelps call
ed at the office of one of the high
officials to say goodby. "So you are
going to Heppner," said the railway
man. "What train are you taking?"
Mr. Phelps told him the number of
of the train, explaining that he could
not take the faster train because it
did not stop at Heppner Junction.
"Never mind that," replied the rail
roader, "you take the fast train and
I'll see to it that it stops at Hepp
ner Junction." Mr. Phelps took the
fast train and before reaching Pen
dleton the conductor told him that
he would have to stop over at that
town and catch the local, as his train
would not stop at the Junction. "No,"
replied the preacher, "I will not get
off at ePndleton but I will get off
at the Junction." "Well, you will
not get off at the Junction," replied
the conductor, rather huffy, "because
I cannot stop this train there." "Oh,
yes you can," replied the preacher,
smilingly.
Just after tho train passed Her
mlston the conductor came along and
said: "Who are you, anyway? I
just got orders to let you offat the
Junction."
