Fearful Encounter.-An Iowan Killed
by u Bear.

In the Miners (Colorado) Register we
find the following acount ola terrible
encounter with bear by u former resi-
dent of Eddyville, Iowa. Mr. Vance was
for three years u soldier in the eth Iowa
cavalry:
On the morning of the 2Sth of MAY,
Eddy ID. Vance and Williams Robbins,
u boy of Ii years of age, started out a
hunting. About mile from the house
they came OF the track of u gray bear,
{supposed IL III a cross between the
black aud cinnanOn) which they follow
ed to one of he branches of Bear creek.
Perrciving the animal had crossed the
stream, Eddy followed on, while yonng
Robbins went down the creek about
half mile to better place of
crossing. Vance had proceeded but
short distance beyond the stream,
when he discovered the animal ~
ing down about fifty yards dis
tant. He fired, but owing to the
bears position, the shot was not a. effect
iv, ~ it might otherwise have been.
The wounded animal ran short dis
taucc down the mountain and disappear
eel round poin. of rocks. Vance took
a short circuit above, keeping sharp
lookout, but when stepping down low
ledge of rocks he found himself within
ten feet of his dangerous foe, who in
stantly sprang upon him. There was
no chance 10 retreat. and but little time
for reflection. Vance fired "a the bear
was coming ar him; the hall entered the
animals neck and lodged in his shout
der, enrsging without disabling him.
The fight then commenced in good
earnest, but all in the bears favor.
Selling the young man 10y the left arm,
he INSTANTLY threw him down. dislucatcd
his writ, broke both bones of the fore
arm. tearing out nearly the whole pal
mar surface Of the hand. Vance sue
cee'ied III getting Ont his knife with
his right hand, but his left being entire
ly HSe!eSs he was unable TO open it,
making several attempts to do SD with
bis teeth. This futile attempt, which
did now show even shadow of chance
of resistance, was soon ended, for the
bear seized his right hand, decorating it
severely, and inflicted several wounds
in the arm. AT this moment the dog
came NJ "a young and cowardly pup
and made some hostile demonstrations.
