barrels, pitching stones, and shouldering
horses for liquor. 1t was soon observed
he was growing weak; he lifted the barrels
with difficulty, and preferred to drink
from glsss instead OF bung.hole. He
grew thin In flesh, his muscles disappear
ed, and he became the shadow Of his tor-
mer self. ~
AT this time number Of shoulder
hitters and desperadoes arrived at the
mines, and gave Sam some trouble; but he
finally conQured them all, and, as the last
fellow got licked, he exclaimed: We'll, II
you can lick me,
YOU CAN'T LICE 4 GRIZZLY BEAR!'
ISsn, swore he could lick ia grizzly bear,
and that, single-handed and alone, he
would fight one. There was grizzly in
the camp, that had been caught by the
miners when q cub, and raised by them.
The bear was now nearly full.gr0wn, and
although great, powerful brute, was
quite tame and harmless. 1t was not long
before some wretches had arranged a
fight between this beast and IBruiser 6an,
and the day was set. The bear was 70 be
chained TO Q tree by the neck end Sam
was TO fight him for one hour with his
naked fists. Sam again went, into train

long before the day oil the fight, Payton
reported that his pupil was In splendid
condition, and would as soon fight as go

crowd. The bets were three TO one on
Sam, and many really believed heiwould

about with delight at hesight ofso many

see him fight. The keepers ofthe bear
began teasing and poking him with sharp
poles and irons, and, although he took Il
quite coolly at first, ho after 'whne

Sam now appeared with his Keeper, Pey-

by the human animals who wished TO see

stepping into the ring, Sam prepared
for battle, stripping of all his clothing,
except his boots, pants, and drawers. His
broad chest contrasted strangely with
the shaggy coat oil the beast, as the two
combatants stood glazing at each other.

toward Sam, who tried TO hit him between

failing In this, he stepped to one side, and
giving the bear q powerful blow, on the

from the ring, and the men who had bet
on the bear really began 70 fear they
would lose. theft money. Five minutes
were alldwed between rounds, and the

time, so that, when Sam came up again,
he was In towering rage.
