7ACKLLNG A BEAR.

A few days since Frank Chapman, a
young man ofStwenty-one years, while
herding his fathers cattle in Antelope
Valley, about thirty miles east of Schell-
burn, Nevada thought he would put some
of his time in trapping. One night he
heard fearful growing, and nextmorn-
ing he resolved to 60 and see what wasin
the trap, in company with a boy who
was on visit, stopping with him. They
both armed themselves with a couple of
six shooters and started 10 the trap, nei-
ther caring to take the lead; but Frank
started out, and on approaching toward
the trap they saw something that looked
like dark colored man sitting up and
holding the trap, but on closer ,observa-
ton, they found to their great surprise
they had trapped huge black bear.
Frank had large dog and he set him on
the bear, but bruin sent him rolling in
the snow. Frank being fond of adyen-
ture, walks up to bruin, but the bear was
on the box, and Frank kept his distance.
Frank was trying to take the bear alive
but bruin was too much f r him, so he
blazed away and shot the bear in the side.
Bruin lay back and bit his wounds in a
terrible manner. Frank supposed the
bear was dyihg and caught hold of him,
but Just as he touched him the bear
sprang up, made lunge and broke the
chain, and struck Frank and knocked
him down. At this stage of the game
Franks dog grabbed the bear, buthe was
sent rolling in the snow as before. Frank
now leaped up, cooked his pistol, and as
the bear made lunge he fired, the ball
taking effect in the head, killing the bear
instantly. Had not Frank killed the
bear he would have been severely man
gled. When bruin knocked Frank down
the boy made break for the house, los
ing his hat and pistol on the way.

over that amount he shall go to the State
