By Christopher Peter! Got a black bear, have yet! Now ain't thet prime!
human
What's the news, Jed?
gpt
Lots o' news, said the old hunter.
human
First thing is, you're to go home to-morrow.
gpt
Oh, we know that already,
human
Yes.

Well, he's tuk--caught him yesterday. Aaron Masterson spotted him hanging around Riverview. He's arrested.
human
Good! cried Snap.
gpt
Now he'll get what he deserves.
human
An' that ain't all. Who do you think the tramp sent fer when he was in jail?
gpt
Who?
human
Ham Spink and Carl Dudder. It ain't leaked out jest why, but some folks thinks young Spink and young Dudder got the tramp to steal your things. An' there's more news, too.
gpt
What more, Jed?
human
It's come out that Ham Spink and Carl Dudder blew up the old boathouse, jest to ruin your things. There was a lively row, but Mr. Spink an' Mr. Rudder settled the bill--to keep Ham and Carl out o' jail, I expect.
