INCIDENTS OF A
GREAT BEAR HUNT
A1. M. Hill, Frank Stanton and U.
A. Newman, who will be recognized
an prominent East Side orchard wen,
with a Mr. Fike Of Black Hawk coun
ty. Iowa, whom the; took along to
catch mountain trout, and accompa
nied by Frank's dog, Dick, to track
the bear, started prepared for a bunt.
The sun had not yet risen last
Thursday morning when theae four
men climbed into a mountain back
behind Frank' powerful bay team,
mid with Dick following behind,
started up the mountain. After a few
hours' drive they reached LonU
Hurkhard'a ranch at the foot of the
Lava lteda. Here they left the team
and engaged the service of the old
hunter as guide. The provisions and
blanket! were equally divided and
strapped upon their shoulders, and
with brave hearts they started into
the forest.
Up, up they went, through deep ra
vines and over high, rocky bluffs,
through the dark forests where the
crack of the huntsman's rifle Is ej
dom heard. The shades of evening
were faat closing when tired and
thirstv thev found themselves on a
high mountain with the cool water ol
the mountain brook far below them.
Thev must reach this before dark.
Hastily they began the descent. The
packs grew heavier upon their shoul
ders, but the inventive mind of M.
M. Hill devised a scheme to descend
with groater ease. Unfastening hit
pack he started it rolling down tht
steep bank. It gathered momeutun
as it went and bounded and roller
Into the middle of the swift stream
Long before the hunters reached tb
bottom it was lost in the darkness.
It contained all the blankets. .
The evening meal was soon prepared
and they settled arouul the oamp tin
to pass the night as best they could
without blankets. And a long night 11
wus. U. A. Newman burrowed a holt
in the soft ground beside the Are.
Kike, the tenderfoot from Iowa, tool
the bark olf a tree and ooverlng him
self completely with it, took his plact
beside Newman. M. M. Hill, dlspon
sing with all preliminary arrange
merits, lay down beside the fire
Frank Stanton and L;niis ISurkharo
took turns at keeping the fire going.
The night passed with but one nils
hup. M. M. Hill was aroused in the
midst of his dream by his bat catching
(ire and it was partly burned before
be awoke. In the early morning un
der the direction of Burkhard, they
separated in search of game. Fike
could not Hsh ; the foxy trout would
not bite. The great forests were new
to him and he gazed continually at
the lofty fir and cedar and did not
wander far from their rendezvous.
Hill walked until he no longer knew
In which direction he was going.
Even the sun was moving in the wrong
direction, lie made bis way over
deep ravines and across mountain tor
rents and as a last resort in the mid
dle of the afternoon, climbed to the
top of a high mountain and found
himself at the very spot where he
started bis blankets rolling the night
before.
Frank Stanton and his dog Dick
farud not so well. Dick led him high
up the mountain far from camp, lie
begun to return, but too late he wan
lost In the forest. He knew of but
one thing to do And a mountain
stream and follow it to its mouth. He
immediately started down the moun
tain gorge, The mountain trout lay
quietly in the brook, but he did not
stop to llsh. He started two deer
from their feediug ground, but he was
too frightened to snoot straight. At
just Bundown be came In sight of the
cabin of a rancher. The most wel
come sight he ever saw. He sat down
to collect his thoughts. His hands
were cut and bruised. His trousers
were badly torn ; one leg was entirely
gone helow the knee. With great In
genulty be took his shoe strings, and
with bis pocket knife for a needle,
sewed together the lemnauts of blr
trousers. Thus making himself more
presentable he proceeded to the cub
in, whore he was hospitably received
ami hit wants supplied.
The hunters that night gathered ai
the cabin of the old tranner OiHeld.
and were greatly concerned about the
non-appearance or Frank Ktanton.
The trapper gladly shared with them
his bed, and they slept that night five
In a row, huddled together like sheep
under two small lilaukets. Jibe next
morning thoy started for home in
search of Frank Stanton. They found
him sittiug lu the door of Burkhard'
on one leg crossed over the other.
his arms folded and calmly smoking
his pipe. It took them one whole day
to recuperate under Louis Burkhard '
hoHiiltalile care, and then M. M. Hill.
Frank Stanton and U. A. Newman re
turned home, where they will verify

Kills Neighbor In Self-Decence.
Dufur Springs was the scene of a
tragedy last iuesday morning, when
Charles Underwood shot and killed
JJlcK Darnell or Dennett as be was
conimouly known. Underwood sur
rendered at once to the authorities,
and was taken to The Dalles last Wed
nesday by Shorltf Sexton.
llio Inquest conducted by Coroner
imrget revealed the following facts:
Bennett had leased a farm to Un
derwood, reserving the right to so
much garden truck, lu which apples
were not meutloued. The meu had
frequently quarreled over the division
and Monday when Mrs. Bennett went
over to get some apples they were re
fused her. Her husband was workinu
with a threshing crew and when he
returned that night was informed of
the treatment given. Bennett, who
was a hot-beaded fellow, tired up at
once and, compelling his hired man,
Simmons, to accompany him, started
out for Underwood's. Kuteriug the
house, armed with his usual weapon,
a Winchester, he informed Under
wood and his brother-in-law, Wood
ward, who with Mr. and Mrs. McCabe
were in the house, that they must go
at ouce and apologize to Mrs. Benuett
or he would settle with them. There
was no bing left to do under the cir
cumstances but go, and that without
shoes, as Bennett would brook no de
lay. On the wsy Woodward, who is
hut a boy, started to run. Benuett
llred a shot at him, but he g t away.
Underwood climtied the hill in his
bare feet and apologized to the lady.
As he left the house Bennett said to
him : "If you're not out of the coun
try tomorrow I'll kill you."
No sooner was Underwood home
than with Woodward he went and bor
rowed a neighbor's gun, and goiug up
the road laid la wait until Bennett
passed going to his work in the morn
ing. Theu, hid behind some tree,
he tired. A number of shots were
tired, but although there was a shot
out of Bennett's gun, it was not de
termined whether or not he fired it at
that time. One of Underwood's bul
lets killed Bennett's horse also.
The sympathy of the neighborhood
seems to be with Underwood, who is a
young mau of 2i years aud has always
No woman can look beautiful without
Sood health. A woman's good health
epends on those organs peculiarly femi
nine, and which so often become disor

pain. Nature's laws are perfect, health
endures If you obey them, but disease
follows dlsoU-dleiice. The distressing
complaints of women are often brought
about by catching cold at a critical
period, breathing foul Indoors' air and
long hours of work ami nervous tension.

The jurisdiction of Rinaldo M.
Hall, advertising agent of the O. It.
k N. Co., baa been extended to In
elude the Southern Pacific lines in
Oregon. This will be pleasing news
to the people of the Willamette valley
and southern Oregon, as this some
what neglected portiou of the state
will be sure to receive attention from
now on.
Mr. Hall is a brilliant and forceful
witer, aud his descriptions of the
oouutry reached by the O. K. & N.
lines have been an Invaluable factor
in attracting Immigration to Eastern
Oregon aud the Columbia river val
ley. In addition to his work of pro
paring folders, pamphlets iifid other
publications for bis company, he has
been a steady contributor to the lead
ing advertising ningazlnos end peri
odicals, and his articles descriptive
of the Pacillo Northwest have attract
ed much favorable attention aud com
ment. An important feature of Mr.
Hall's work is his regaid for truth and
aoouracy of detnll. Care Is taken to
avoid exHgeratou and cureless state
ments, and homeseekers huve learned
that they can depend upon any infor
mation contained in a publication
sent out from bis department. Wet-tern
Oregon has long needed some mail
like Mr. Hall to tell the world of its
wonderful resources and advantages,
and now that Mr. Craig hus pluceil
bim at the bead of the new depait
ment, all may rest assured that the
work will be performed thoroughly
and well.
