Torn BY GRIzzLY-DEsPERATE FIGHT-
Townsend Henthorn was attacked on the l4th

friend writing to the Red Bluff Beacon saws:
"He attempted to shoot, but his cap failed.
he attempted to climb, but the bear sprang into
the tree, and pulled him down; desperate fght
then ensued, Mr.. II. using his gun barrel for a
time, and keeping her at bay until he got an
opportunity to spring for the tree again, which
he did, but was again pulled down by the bear.
This process was twice repeated, after which the
bear attempted to bite him in the face when be
caught her by the nose and made several thrusts
at her with large knife, cutting some nine
inches deep at each blow. At this she gave
back a rod or two afIording him another oppor.

Bruin again took courage and made an ineffec-
tual attempt to reach him in the tree, but when
within about two feet Of him her feet gave way
and she fell to the ground, groaned most pte.
ously and gave up the fight. Although torn
aud mangled in most shocking manner, Mr.
Henthorn expresses himself as highly delighted
with this turn in affairs.
The calf of the right leg was literally torn tc
pieces, the front bone and muscles were exposed
in several places, the skin aud portions Of the
flesh being torn entirely away. The doctor wa.
obliged to cut away about pound of flesh in
in dressing it. The left leg was bitten through
and through in several places, but not torn L
badly as the right.
