TALL TALES TO THRILL SPORTSMEN

A correspondent at Bait Lai City sands
the Philadelphia Record a bunch of big
Camo storlra well calculated to give a thrill
or two to rich, rd sporting blood. Listen
to hla tal:
Western Wyoming, eastern and northern
Idaho are overrun with antrlope, elk and
deer, and probably the coming year will
be the grratcat gama eason In the hlatory
of the went. Over In Jnckson Hole and the
Teton IlaBln the elk have become so bold
that ranchers are obliged to guard their
bay rlcka from the nocturnal raida of the
big game.
Jamee Walsh, a well known rancher liv
ing well up In Jackson Hole, aenda out
thla thrilling story: The heavy snows In
Jacknon Hole have driven the big game
down by the thousands. I believe there are
today more elk, denp and antelope In Jack
son Hole than there were ten ytars ngo.
They have suddenly appeared In great num
bera. It la hard to tell where they came
from, but I auppoee they must have been
grilling high up in the mountains. Ranch
ers have been forced to build stockades
around their hay. Last week & hay rick
containing probably ton tons of timothy
was destroyed In one night by a herd of
elk. There must have been 8,000 In the herd.
Soon after that I built a wire stockade
around my other rick. This did pretty well
for three nights, but on the third night the
elk became ravenously hungry. They
dashed down on that rick and the next
morning pouts, wire and all were gone.
Three crippled elk that had been Injured
In the attack on the stockade were left be
hind to tell the tale. Hundreds of elk and
antelope are to be seen with every big
bunch of cattle. It Is Impossible to separ
ate the game from the cattle and the re
sult Is thru pretty netr every rancher Is
feeding one elk tp every three cattle he
owns."
The only outrage against the big g-inie
that has been reported this season was
perpetrated In the Teton Basin. It seems
that after the big blizzard a herd of 100
elk came down nut of the mountains and
took refuge In a small basin, Teeth hunt
ers soon sighted them and killed every
elk in the herd. The carcasses of the elk
minus the tusks were piled up In tin basin.
These tusks sell for ICO a pair.
Rangers who have been making the
rounds of the big preserves estimate from
the size of the horda In the flats that In
the Wind river country, Jackson Hole and
Teton He sin alone there are 90,W0 elk. They
pluco the numher of antelope at tuO.000 and
the deer at l.Vo.ftKi. It Is somewhat surpris
ing, but the old hunters, who are coming In
from the gume country, state that the deer
are in more danger of becoming extinct
than are the velk. This Is accounted for
by the explanation that the deer graze
closer to the flats and In more accessible
country than do the bigger gume. Until
this winter It was a rare sight to see a
herd of more than MO elk In Jackson Hole,
but since the snow It takes a herd of at
least a thousand to make the average
rancher turn his head.
As Rancher Walsh expressed It: "We Are
grnzlng and haying herds of elk this winter
Insteud of cattle."
Grlssllea Balding; Herds.
Not only are the ranchers fighting the
oik pest, but they are having tome lively
Units with grizzly bears. Every herd of
cattle la suffering from the raids nf the
liver tips. Theso big bears have become
so fierce that they are passing by the
yearlings and 2-year-olds and are killing
-year-old steers. Rarely a night passes
but a herd loses a big steer. Osoor Parker
end Jaok Alexander, ranchers at the head
waters of the Oreen river In the Wind
mountains, had a thrilling fight with two
big silver tipped grizzlies Just before the
blizzurd , two weeks ago. The two men
were riding near Green River lake
rounding up some cattle when they came
upon two grizzlies, which were busily en
gaged In killing a big steer. The story of
the encounter Is best told In the words of
Pnrker:
"We had Just ridden out of the thick
timber close by the lake and were entering
a gorge when we saw the- two big silver
tips cuffing away at the steer. One of them
was standing on his hind legs cuffing sav
agely at the head of the steer, while the
other bear had seized It near the hind hock
Every time tlx bear that was In front
struck the steer In the face and neck blood
flew. The steer was wild with fear and
gored and kicked and plunged. It was a
savage fight against odds. Alexander and I
rode up close and determined to kill on
bear and lasso the other. I dropped from
my horse and put three holes through the
shoulder of the hind bear, bringing him to
the ground. Then Alexander rode In C:5tia
and cast his rope. The noose went over
the bear's head as true as a die and dropped
below one front eg. Then he jerked
his cayus back and the tug of war began.
The bear's leg being Inside the noose pre
vented Alexander from choking the big
brute down. It came after the lassoer like
a flash and "Alexander started down the
gorge with the bear In hot pursuit. It
was a rough country and Alexander had
trouble In keeping his jumper going fast
enough to keen the rope taut. While all
of this was going on I had left my pony
and had gone up to the wounded silver tip
to But an end to him. I was within ten
feet of him, ready to go In and put a
knife through his throat, when the bear
' suddenly reared and came at me snarling
and blowing bloody foam from his nortrlls
and mouth. I had three shells In my rifle
and had only time to give him one. It went
through the neck close to the head, but It
did not stop him. I dodged as he came at
me, but he cuffed me with his left paw,
almost dislocating my shoulder. Before ha
could recover and turn I ran back to my
rifle, which I had dropped, and as he again
charged me I put the barrel In bis mouth
and sent a 44 through his brain. As he
fell he struck at me. knocking me uncon
scious. That was all that I remember."
Tied Bear to a Tree.
Alexander continued the story, as fol
lows: "I dashed on down the gorge, care
fully guiding my jumper out of holes and
between boulders, and by the hardest kind
of work keeping the rope tight. We had
just come to a steep hill, and there was
fallen timber all along the trail. Tou must
know that I had dropped my gun and had
no weapon except a bunting knife. J
realised that things were getting close.
Finally the trail got so bad and my prog
ress was so alow that the bear got within
ten feet of me. The pony was snorting
and trembling with fright. Of a sudden
he bolted over the side of the trail and
commenced to slide over the hard snow
down an Incline, the bear rolling and
growling close behind us. I kept the pony
on his feet until we struck a fallen tree
1 which was bidden In the a now. Then he
stumbled and fell. I quickly got hint in
hla feet, and as w were now on level
ground I took up the race gain. All
UiU tbne tha bear was not farther away
than twelve feet. He was In a wild state
of rage. I saw thst there was but one
chance for me, and that was to tie him
to a tree. I was determined to take him
live If possible. So I kept my eye out
for the first tree that was on level, clesr
ground. The rope was a forty-foot one.
As we reached this tree I turned the pony
around suddenly and enolrcled the tree
three times, forcing the pony to Jumfj
tha taut rope each time. The third time
I cut tha rope and quickly mada a slip
knot, then drove the spurs and dashed
away. I had him securely tied.
"Then I went In search of my partner.
My race with the bear had bean a flve
mlle on. Up the trail I cam across the
other grizzly lying stretched out, but no
where was Tarker In sight. I rod up to
the bear, dismounted, and what did I sea
but Parker stretched out, unconscious,
with the big grissly lying across him. I
quickly revived him and found that he
was unhurt except for some few scratches
and a dislocated shoulder. The dead bear,
I should judge, weighed 190 pounds. We
got our guns and rode back to where my
captive was, but he had chewed the rope
and disappeared."
Old bear hunter say that It Is remark
able that either of these two ranchers
escaped with their live. As for the steer,
he was so badly torn up that he wa shot
to end his suffering.
Do W Cateh rishf
"Do w cateh fish at BlklnT" said W, O.
English, who lives on the Green River.
Wall, X will ten you something about fish
ing In tha Oreen River. My neighbor! and
I went fishing In th Oreen River two
weeks ago, and we have not had to gn
a-flshlng since, and won't need to until next
summer. Did we catch 'emT Well, soma
few and then some, What kind? White
salmon, from six and seven pounds In
weight up to seventy-five pounds. My
little girl, not 10 years old, captured th
latter, which was the largest of th lot.
Th average was fifteen and eighteen
pound. No, w do not use files nor live
bait nor harpoons nor selnca nor nets.
Just elubs. That's a little way we have
In our neck of the woods. Tou see, the
Oreen River rose up kinder and got be
yond Its bank almost. This kicked up a
lot of mud and the mud kicked up all
kinds of ructions with the poor salmon
who hav not yet learned to breathe mud.
Mud Is not a good diet for white salmon;
It fills their gill and Impedes breathing, so
much that the poor fellows have to come
to the top and ticks their noses out to got
air. ,
"Well, the river was simply black with
salmon noses looked Ilka a flock of sheep,
so close together were they. Everybody
got a club and went down.
"A soft tap on the head sufficed to end
the misery of the poor fellows so tapped,
and they turned up their little fins and quit
business.
"It required only a moment to throw
him out on the bank, when the dose was
administered to the next sufferer. And
so on for half an hour, when everybody
who wanted fish had enough to last him
and his family all spring.
'We have had all the fish we wanted
ever since, for these fish are most excel
lent when dried. All you have to do Is
to soak them In water, when they taste
just as well aa thought caught the same
day.
'Thousands of these fish died of suf
focation as a result of that flood."
Th story told by Mr. English is vouched
for by some of the most reliable men In
Utah. The Green River Is always alive
with salmon and big trout. More than
4,000,000 S-month-old trout have been planted
In the streams of Wyoming and Utah with
in the last six months.

Bennington. Hollyrood consists of a quar
ter section. It wa Improved eight years
ago by E. 8. Rood with a large country
residence and other buildings, all costing
upwards of $88,000. Mr. Rood sold tha
farm to C. W. Hamilton of th United

On of A. L. Roed'a new, modern, $1,000
residence in the West Harney district
that at $518 Harney streut, has been sold
to Mrs. James Crelghton. She owned a
half block on th north aid of Daven
port treet, between Thirteenth and Four
teenth, and she recently sold to th North
western Railroad company for $47,000.
She had lived for more ,than twenty-five
years on this property.
Mrs. Eliza Callahan, another of th plo
neer of th same section, bought a new
home at Eighteenth and Burt atreets from
the Provident Loan and Trust company,
paying $1,000. It Is a seven-room dwell
ing, which was th first Omaha residence
of the late Dr. Neville.
Difficulty la still being experienced In
finding homes for the tenant who hav
been driven from their home by the pur
chases of the Northwestern. Most of
these people have become attached to the
lower part of the city through long real
dence there, and refuse to look for homes
away from the business district. Conse
quently, It is very hard for them to find
houses. The railroad Is puehlng the
Wholes company, which handled the deal,
to get the tenants out as quickly as poj-
Bible, so that a track may be built the
length of the purchase and exoavatlon be
started for the new freight houses.
The. real estate deal by which the North
western rallrtad get possession of four
blocks and a part of a ifth for terminal
purposes wss practically completed last
week and deeds for all the property, with
the exception of those lots which have
been condemned and one other small piece
are now In the hands of the railroad
Three pieces hare been condemned by the
county court and the owner hav not
mad appeal. Tha cost of the entire pur
chase was approximately $310,000. It con.
stats of four solid blocks between Thir
teenth and Fourteenth streets and from
Davenport to Webster and three lots In
the block next north of this tract.
There ha been considerable talk that
a passenger station will be built on thla
site. Ben T. White, general attorney for
the oomptny. says no. He says the new
freight houses will occupy the two blocks
between Davenport and Cas atreets. The
plans for the buildings have not been
made, but the company's architect from

ORGOTTEN MONEY IN BANKS
"Dead" or Unclaimed Accounts Maay
In Number and Millions In
the Aggregate,
It has been variously estimated that lit
banks and trust companies of New York
City there Is from $JO0,oro to aa many mil
lion dollars worth of "dead" or unclaimed
accounts. In most cases theso sums orig
inate from small balance left by dapos''
tors who hav withdrawn their aocounts
and have neglected to come around for
th odd sums which remain aftr their
main account has been taken out. Very
often deposits are made by persons who
having lodged their nest egg In safety,
never return again to the nest, and, In
case there Is no will, their heirs never
know of tho existence of the money so
deposited.
Some time ago the state endeavored to
take these sums from the banks and keep
them as a government trust, but this no
tion was successfully opposed by the
banks In court, their credit being Judged
adequate security for the trust. Now, no
bank continue to pay Interest upon ac
counts unless the owner appears and ha
his deposit vouchers renewed at least onoe
every fifteen years.
In New York City there Is a man fa
miliar to bank officials whose solo busi
ness is looking up heirs for these un
claimed sums. He first ascertains, by
one way or another, what sum are lying
'dead" and hav been lying for a number
of years, and under what circumstance!
they were originally deposited. Then, by
means unknown only to himself, he finds
the lawful heirs, who gladly give a large
commission for the money so unexpectedly
falling to them.
In England there is no legal provision
for unclaimed bank accounts as there Is In
this country and France, where the law
requires that every five years all banking
Institutions publish the names and last
known addresses of owners of dormant or
unclaimed aocounts. It has been esti
mated that in chancery, the BanK of Eng
land and the thousands of private English
banking houses there Is a total sum of
over $11,000,000 unclaimed.
Th thought of so much wealth lying
unused, unowned, unsought for, has driven
many weak-minded persons Into Insanity
and given bank officials many painful mo
ment. An old man, for Instance, kept
calling for many years at a well known
banking establishment, asking to be paid
certain money which he declared had been
left to htm. Of course. It was all a delu
sion, but he would never believe so, and
after each denial would retire, consoling
himself with th Imagination that a the
Interest was compounded hi money wa
every day Increasing,
There are- several well recognised rea
sons why money often fall under th
category of the "great unclaimed," the
commonest one Doing", strange as It may
seem, that tha owner or depositor has
forgotten about It. It would seem that
dollars and cents would be one of tho
last things In th world that a person
would forget, yet In th 5,000 or. 8,000
banks In Great Britain today there are
not a few depositors whose account 11
unclaimed from this cause alone.
Not long ago an old and apparently
penniless woman, who had -become Incap
able by reason of age and infirmity, to
care for herself, was received at a poor-
house. In removing her wretched garments
for new and clean ones it was found that
a crumpled paper was sewn Into the lining.
Investigation revealed a bank deposit re
ceipt for 100, or about $500, In the name
of the new Inmate, which dated twenty-five
years previously. The poor woman declared
she remembered nothing about It, and, In
fact, almost disowned It.
Another great reason that moneys lie
unclaimed Is that the owner dies, the re
ceipt Is lost and the existence of the de
posit Is unknown to the next of kin.
An amusing incident in this connection
was told by a public bank officer, who had
been In the habit of advertising from time
to time for lapsed depositors having con
siderable sums to their credit. One of
these,, an aged spinster, was thought to be
dead, but a few day after th advertise,
ment appeared she walked Into the bank
and presented her receipt. Hardly had
she left the offices after receiving back
her voucher when a young woman ap
peared and declared proudly that she wa
a niece of the advertised spinster whom
she now called to represent, honestly be
lieving her to be dead. "Whiet do you
want to know?" Inquired the official. "Oh,
how much my aunt has left me!" was the
reply. "I can't very well tell you that,"
replied the banker, "but you can find out
by asking your aunt herself at No.
street." The heir, needless to say, retired
In some confusion.
It will hardly be credited, but there are
depOBltors who, having lost their receipts,
really believe they have forfeited all right
to their own money. This class of un
claimed deposits is, of course, small, but
It la nevertheless true, that some, after
losing their deposit voucher, become Indif
ferent after a time and finally grow Into
the firm conviction that their deposit is
forever lost to them.
Some save up for a "rainy day," which
either never comes, or when it does, is not
wet enough to require an Inroad Into the
deposit, which lies untouched until it Is for
gotten. Other move away from the locality
where they have made a deposit and
keep putting off a withdrawal of the sum.
Funeral expenses, or a deposit against pos
sible sickness, I often saved up and placed
In banks to be left untouched and unre
ferred to for the owner's entire lifetime,
and often unknown oven to his heirs and
relative. N
The largest sum unable to be used by
any one ar those "In chancery" moneys
which legal disputes tie up pending a set
tlement, which sometime Is not arrived
at until after many years of litigation.
Could all th money In chancery In Great
Britain be freed It would be a sufficient
sum to wipe out the national debt and still
leave th chancellor of the exchequer a few
million sterling as surplus. Kansas City

BRISK MOVEMENT WITH ALL JOBBERS
Dry Rood Mrs liar Much Troable
Gettlaa- Order from Factories
Seasonable llnrdirnre Active,
a Well aa Staple Lines. .
Trade for th week haa been brisk In all
lines, th Jobbers reporting an Increase in
volume over last year. Fall orders sre
large and numerous and current business
Is stimulated by the faot that the recent
warm weather has muda a big retail trad
In the country. Perhaps fewer changes in
prices were made hist week than In any
week for months. Though in general prices
are very firm, few advances were quoted.
The dry goods jobbers are having trouble
in getting deliveries from th factories end
are handicapped In filling fall orders. The
hardware and shoe houses are doing ex
cellent business. Collections for th week
were rair.
Seasonable hardware for spring and sum
mer Is moving In large quantities, the
gooa Dullness or the early spring keeping
up well. Jobber report remarkable ac.
tlvlty aiso In rgulnr and staple mer.
chandlse. Among tho Items most In de
mand ar garden tools and builders' hard
ware. An advance of t per cent in wire
cloth took place a few days ngo. Snider
has been advanced 2 conts a pound. Brass
and copper goods are advancing and Iron
and steel ar Arm at the figures of a week
ago.
The sho wholesalers have no chance to
complain this summer, as they did at times
last winter. Salnmnen are meeting with
pleasing receptions In nil sections and full
orders are exceeding expectations. Current
trade is holding ui well, a brisk business
being reported frjim the country on he
count of the warm days. The leather mar.
ket continues firm and there Is practically
no prospect of more favorable conditions
for the present year; ao, say tho Jobbers,
the dealer can jut ns well give his fall
and winter orders now aa later. The pre.
diction of the Jobbers that there would be
an exceptionally heavy run of oxfords this
spring has proven correct.
Dry Goods Hard to Get.
Advance order business thus far with the
local dry goods Jobbers has exceeded ex
pectations. Current business Is light In
comparison with that of a few weeks
ano, yet it passes the business of this sea
Son a year ago. The distribution extends
to all lines of fall goods, including blan
kets, flannel, underwear, hosiery and dress
goodn. Samples have been withdrawn on
many lines of popular goods, as they have
been sold up. Certain lines of nap goods
are hard to get, and as the jobbers are
not sure of the time of delivery, retailers
are ordering lines on which the Jobbers
guarantee them delivery. In many in
stances duplicate orders sent to the mills
cannot be filled on account of the scarcity
of goods. The market on all kinds of cot
ton goods Is strong, as it is on raw cotton,
but no advance has ben named during
tho week.
No changes were made last week in re
fined sugar. Raws have been rather irreg
ular, but the higher prices prevailing earlv
In the week are still maintained for spot
foods. Sales the latter part of the week
or June delivery were at a slight conces
sion under spot price. Refiners report an
active market and some of them are over
sold on some grttties,
Cheese eased off a little early In the
week, but such a good demand developed
that price reacted Vt'tfSto. Local Jobbers
look for a lower market within ten days,
when stocks will begin to accumulate.
The coffee market has steadied down after
the May liquidation and prices are firm.
Commercial grades are a little scarcer and
the demand has been better in the last few
days.
Dried Frnlts Very Firm.
Dried apples have again been advanced
per pound In th east, and stocks
are the Bmnllest the trade has seen for
many years at this season. Extreme prices
doubtless will be secured before the new
goods are on the market.
Jobber ar trading with one another In
order to take care t their trade on evap
orated apricot. A few weeks ago Chicago
began buying of Omaha and any other out
side point where there was a surplus. Now
Omaha is drawing on Kansas City, uod so
It goes. Apricots will open up this season
very much higher than last year, as will
also peaches and prunes. With a fair crop
of fruit available throughout Uie east, the
trade can hardly be as heavy on dried
fruit aa It was last season, and yet there
la a larger trade to supply, peaches will
probably open at KftlVfcc per pound above
the opening price of last season.
A remarkable advance haa been scored
In oltrun, due entirely to the fact of a
short supply of the goods from primary
sources. Higher prices are not only pre
dicted, but ar named with confidence for
fall delivery.
Currants are In strong shape, with a fur
ther adVance predicted in the near future
There are very few spot prunes available
The prediction Is made that within a very
short time will be seen a 5c market on the
coast on California prunes. Omaha Job
bers are Inclined to think tnat tins predla
tlon will ccme true,
.J .w r.i I I a u wa In i..ro mall BiinnTtf
I Hardly enough ar In sight to take care
of the trade until new goods come on the
market.
The rloe market la very active, the millers
being very Arm in their ideas, and It looks
as If they, would be able to clean up very
shortly at their present asking prices or
higher.
Spot corn has been in unusually
heavv demand durinc the last two weeks.
with the result that the low-priced goods
are all cleaned up and showing an advance
of 2S to 7Vi cents per dozen. The demand
from the retail trade, as well as from the
Jobbers, has been something unusual. The
general Impression is that corn is going
to clean up pretty well before th arrival
of new roods.
Future corn has 'participated In this
-stronger feeling; in tact, every low-priced
seller of future corn has advanced his
price 2 to 54 cents per dozen, at which
the packers are Arm.
Firmer feeling on spot tomatoes Is very
noticeable In the larger centers, some of
the eastern holders having advanced their
price Zhi cents per dozen during the Ust
week. It Is now a well established fact
that there are very few tomatoes available
outside of the syndicate's holdings, and
they have recently been able to sell some
!;ood-slzed blocks to some of the larger
obbers. The time, however, for the mar,
eting of their stock is quite limited.
Within three months fairly good-sized
blocks Of tomatoes, new pack, will be of
fered to the trade for prompt shipment.
Whether the syndicate can unload their
holdings before this time is a problem.
They seem, however, to have the situation
very well In hand and any reasonable de
mand from tile Jobbers ought to take out
a large pert of their holdings.
There are very few peas available below
80 cents per dozen from any source. This
means that it is difficult for the Jobber
on the Missouri river to purchase any
thing that can be made a 10-cent seller to
the trade. Two months and a half must
elapse before any considerable quantity of
peas will be available. Stocks are clean
ing up nicely and new peas will come onto
a practically bare market.
There are few California canned goods
which can come forward. The knowledge
of this situation is making a better market
for anything that is held In the hands of
brokers throughout the east, and doubtless
what little stuff there is available will go
out at full prices. Apricots certainly will
open very much higher thn last season.
Salmon is moving remarkably well, with
the demand unusual for this season of the
