AlIackleman and John J. Davis arc still
over in Ochoco, and we have received the
following letter containing an account
Of the latter's encounter with one of the
huge cinnamon bears with which the east
ern slope Of the Cascade mountains are in
habited:
The camp being out Of meal, me and the
chief A. Hacklenian went out to hunt.
When we approached the edge of the
woods We parted, the chief going to the
LEFT and Ite the right Of a ridge that is coy,
cred with mahogany trees. The wind was
blowing so hard that nothing could be
heard. Ibid not go far till got off of my
horse, unsnapped the rein and fastened it
through the ring of the bit, so that could
holdher if had chance to shoot. After
going about 400 yards from where got
down, Hooked to my left and saw the bear
coming toward me looking as though he
had got frightened at the chief let him
come within 40 or 6Oyards and then called
~ nm "non nc ia's'0 upUn n,S ,'i'u i's
to look at me, or for me. While he stood
up the first shot was fired the ball cutting
off the knuck off of the right elbow and
piercing both lungs about three inches back
Of the heart The bear answered the re-
port of my gun by falling and rolling over
