IN DESPERATE BATTLE.
SKELETONS TELL THE STORY
Ghast'y D scovery is Made In a De
serted Cave By a New Mexics
Sheriff While Searching for a
Horse Tr ef.
Albuquerque, N. M—It was a brave
Battle that these three men and this
old bear fought. and every one of
.hem died a ».ero. No admiring multi
iued cheered them on and urged their
dogging energies. Each fought till :h;
breath left him. and the rugged old
master of the castle tell across the
corpses of the invaders
It is a story without words that was
told Cicero Stewart, sheriff of Eddy
county. New Mexico, and his tw Jeje
uties. Carl Gordon and Henry Boyd,
when they stumbled upon the four
skeletons a few days ago in a cave in
the lastnesses of the Guadeloupe
mountains w hlle hunting for a horse
thief.
The sheriff and his men had infor
mation that the horse thief, who is
known as “Calico" Ryan, was in hid
ing in the mountains, and they sad
dled their horses at Carlsbad and rode
fifty miles to the locality that was said
to conceal the man for whom they
were searching At length they came
upon the bat guano cave that was dis
covered a short time ago by Jesse
Plowman, a I2-year-old boy. Stewart
and his companions thought they
would explore the cave. They made
their way some distance Into the In
terior. and at length came to a wide
rock chamber. The light poured ir.
through a hole in the roof, and show
cd clearly "he surroundings.
In the center of the chamber were
four skeletons A closer inspection
showed that three of them were those
of human beings and that the fourth
was that of a big bear. Among the
bones were two rusty knives, a pistol
and some metal buttons. The clothing
had rotted away, and it was evident
that the tragedy had been enacted
many years before. But the surround
tags told the story, and it reeded not
the recital of words to tell the sheriff
and his men what had happened. They
saw it as if they had been on the spot
when it was enacted.
Old Bruin sat at the door of the
cave, which was his castle, back in the
days when no white man had previous
ly disturbed the wild stillness. Down
from the valley of the Pecos came
three prospectors -after the gold that
the Indians told the Spaniards was
there. When near the entrance to the
cave they saw the fierce old bear, but
they were brave fellows and they
thought it would be an easy matter to
kill him, feast upon hts earcas. and
take up their abode for the night in

j
his rarest. With deep growls the !
b“ar warned them off. but they press
ed onward. The bear retreated into
the cave and the men followed. Two
of them were armed with heavy
knives and the third had a huge pep- j
per-box pistol. At length they cor- J
nered the bear in the big chamber and
he resolved to make his last stand.
The intruders, although armed only
with the knives, thought they were a
match for one bear, and they eagerly
closed wi h him. plunging their knives
again and again into bis shaggy body j
At ev*>ry stroke of bis paws Bruin |
tor*’ the fiesh of his adversaries. Pin I
ally r.ne of the men fell dead or dying |
by the side of the one with the pistol, j
Then the other sank exhausted beside
his two comrades. Bruin had con- j

THREE-LEGGED CAT SCRAPPER
Dorchester Tabby. Whose Foot Was
Amputated. Proved Good Match
for Other Felines.
Boston. Mass.—“Pretty," the hand
some Angora cat belonging to Mr. and
Mrs. Somers. SIS Hancock street. Dor
chester. has only three legs. And the
story of how he lost his fourth leg Is
interesting.
He was born with the usual number
of paws and was especially nimble
and expert with them. One night, how
ever. “Pretty." was run over by a
street car ana his left forepaw was
crushed.
Mr. Somers found the kitten lying
in the street helpless and brought him
into the house. It was a cold night,
and it was first thought that the cat's
paw was frozen. He was placed be
side a radiator to thaw out
When the seriousness of the injury
was learned, however. Mr. Somers
carried "Pretty" to the cat hospital,
where the little leg was amputated.
In a week or so “Pretty'' came back
home in good shape, and has since
been able to get around pretty lively
for a cat with only three legs.
He is now 2 years old. Is very af
fectionate. and especially fond of the
youthful son of Mr and Mrs. Somers.
"Pretty" keeps jealous guard over
young William Somers, and will allow
no other cats or dogs to approach him.
“Pretty" is also a great scrapper,
and. even with his missing paw. is
more than a match for other felines
with the usual number.
