"Not much for me to do here, Lieutenant," said he. "That practice for Creedmoor is telling on the shooting. Good thing for the gang, too. Bullets are better than rope, and a Colorado jury will give them plenty of that." Sinclair had sent a man to tell his wife that all was over. Then he ordered a fire lighted, and the rails relaid. The flames lit a strange scene as the passengers flocked up.

This spot is also difficult to reach, unless the bear stands off, side towards you, like a target. I finally determined to fire at him generally. The bear was coming on. The contest seemed to me very different from anything at Creedmoor. I had carefully read the reports of the shooting there; but it was not easy to apply the experience I had thus acquired.

"That's a fine gun you have there, Herbert," said Nick, venturing to reach out his hand for it. "Yes," answered Herbert, passing it to him rather gingerly, "be careful not to drop it." The gun was a beautiful weapon, known as the long range "Creedmoor." It was a Remington, highly finished, and cost $125.
