through  the  head,  frac- 
turing the  skull  through  which  the  brains  oozed. 
It  occurs  to  us  that  there  is  something  radi- 
cally wrong  with  the  law,  or  its  administration, 
where  an  apparent  killer  is  allowed  to  go  free, 
and  two  innocent  witnesses  are  confined  in  a 
felon’s  cell.

Bob  Evans,  accompanied  by  Messrs.  Fairon 
and  Shoemaker,  two  young  gentlemen  from 
Illinois,  went  to  the  D Bar  ranch  on  a hunting 
trip  last  week.  They  ran  across  an  enormous 
black  bear  which  they  shot  at,  all  three  shots 
taking  effect.  The  bear  made  a break  at  the 
boys  and  they  made  a break  for  tall  timber. 
Bob  climbing  the  only  available  tree  in  sight. 
The  other  gentlemen  ran  with  bruin  at  their

heels  till  he  fell  from  loss  of  blood.  Bob  think- 
ing the  bear  powerless,  proceeded  to  cut  his 
throat  when  Bruin  raised  and  struck  him, 
knocking  him  clear  over  the  ropes,  but  was 
unable  to  follow  Bob  to  his  corner  and  finish 
the  fight.  Bob  brought  in  the  hide  which  is 
as  large  and  fine  as  any  ever  taken  in  the  west. 
It  is  for  sale  at  five  thousand  dollars,  not  a 
cent  less.
