They then followed him with their dogs, and when
they came to where he was, Mr. Harris into the
cave to get another chance to shoot him. The bear
was behind tree, and MI. Harris and the animal met.
Harris shot him the third time, but did kill him.
The bear caught him by the hamstrng and bit the large
artery in two kean, who loading another gun,
him, not being more than ten steps off, with his
butcher knife, to stab the bear that had Harris

saw him, and eaped q, him. Kean sprung back and
Harris jumped from under the bear, fifteen twen
ty feet and fell Kean said are you hurt I" " Yes,
