tation to come over to the hotel and 
have lunch, or rather dinner, for in 
that part of the world, where active 
physical outdoor work is the usual or- 
der of things, the mid-day meal is no 
trifling matter of an entrée and some 
salad; but something business-like and 
substantial that “sticks to the ribs.” 
In the course of our conversation he 
told me that he had the day previously 
been way back in the foothills after 
some stock that he had been running 
up there during the summer, and that 
he had driven down all but two heifers, 
one of which he couldn’t find and that 
the body of the other one he had dis- 
covered up at the head of a little park. 
It had evidently been but recently killed 
by a bear who had already made a 
good meal out of a part of the back 
and one quarter. This was too good a 
chance to lose, and my friend, filled 
with a good dinner and’ righteous in- 
dignation over a lost heifer, readily fell 
in with the suggestion to sit up a couple 
of nights in the hope of avenging the 
murder. 
Starting early next morning, the 
journey out to his ranch was success- 
fully accomplished in a Ford of an- 
cient vintage. Alkali and gumbo had 
long since obliterated any signs of 
paint, and it had discarded all such 
unessential trimmin’s as engine hood, 
mudguards, lamps or running boards. 
Its owner admitted that “it wouldn’t 
hardly take no prize at a beauty show,” 
but allowed “that its innards was still 
functioning right smart.” 
Certainly having overrun the towns, 
the rampant “Lizzies’” are rapidly 
usurping the hereditary territory of 
the faithful cayuse. After an early 
dinner we tied our blankets, in which 
we had rolled a little grub, frying-pan 
and kettle, behind our saddles, and 
with a light ax and our rifles rode about 
twelve miles farther up into the hills, 
making camp about a mile and a half 
down the valley from where the heifer 
had been killed. A short way above 
us this valley turned west and headed 
up into some rough, steep-sided hills, in 
places heavily timbered with lodge-pole 
pines and again cut and crossed with 
little side canyons filled with loose rock, 
boulders, brush and blow-downs. In 
fact, it was just the sort of lonely, 
rough-shod retreat often favored by 
an old bear. After collecting plenty of 
dry wood for the night’s camp fire, 
about four o’clock in the afternoon we 
shouldered our rifles and started afoot 
up the valley which, though narrow and 
irregular in its course, had good graz- 
ing well up to the head where it broad- 
ened out into a little meadow or park 
of some ten to fifteen acres in extent 
and dotted here and there with low 
firs.
