Glenwod Springs, Colo., April 2G.— President Roosevelt’s hunting trip has been crowned with success far beyond his expectations or those of the most sanguine of his guides. Three bears were killed by the party today and two yesterday, one by the president and one by Dr. Lambert. P. B. Stew art ,of Colorado Springs, one of the president’s hunting companions, arriv ed here accompanied by Courier Chap man. They brought the story of tin hunt. The killing of the three bears was telephoned to them, and they un derstood that President Roosevelt ha brought down two of them, but the de tails are lacking. The party is almost snowbound in its present location and no attempt will be made to cross the divide. F. teen feet of snow is on the ground on the other side, and any effort to reach Red Sone would be futile. Bob cats are thick in the country now being hunted, so plentiful, in fact, that many are allowed to escape without a shot. Several fine skins have been taken, hoWever. The bear killed by the president was of the brown variety, not so heavy, but furnishing a much finer pelt than the first animal killed. One of bears killed today is said to be a gri/. zly, but this cannot be verified. 250,000 People Homeless.
