overpowered. The carcass of one bear had fallen against tho closed door and imprisoned them ail within tbo cabin, whiuh took Are and burned the others to death. In the cabin wero found one of the huntress' heavy boots with the foot atili In It. a bent hunting k litre sear the hones and tho aatlers of the deer abe bad brought home, which with te carcasses of the bears furnished a compbMo key to the mystery.
