rior, was shot and instantly killed by
the accidental discharge Of a shotgun
in tile hands Of Mr.. Scoville. The two
men were out hunting, the latter
walking in the lead, whenthe hammer
of his gun catching in some brush
and bursting the cap, a whole
load Of buckshot was fired through
the breast Of Strouse. He died III
stantly. The parties were mining
partners, and the best Of friends. Tie

in with few bear stories. Two men
afoot and with but one gun between
them were out hunting one day in
Stanley Basin when they espled a Gin
namon bear not far away. The man
with the gun Ca Henry fired at the
animal, which being she one with
two cubs, so enraged her that she
started towards the hunters open
mouthed and giving vent to frightful
roars. The hunter that made the fight
got excited at this unexpected turn of
affairs, and commenced pumping in
and firing out cartridges at random,
and without doing exccution-any
way apparently, to get rid of them in
the least possible time. His compan-
ion, more cool-headed, and knowing
that the bear meant business, shouted
to him to take aim before shooting, or
they both would soon be "chawed up"
This only served to increase the 9th
er's nervousness, and he went ahead
faster than ever pumping in lead and
shooting III every direction but the
right one. The bear was now almost
upon them, when as luck would have
it shot happened to strike in a vital
spot, and the angry beast fell dead in
its tracks. 1t was the last cartridge,
too, and had it missed the mark one or
both men would have been been killed
or fearfully mangled.
Joe Jump, packer, was ont hunting
horses once somewhere on Loon creek,
and met large bali-faced grizzly in
the trail, and but short distance off.
They both stopped short and looked at
each other. Joe waited for the bear
to give the way and the bear waited
fer Joe to turn out, but neither did SO.
Foot-sore and weary with long and
unsuccessful tramp, Joe didn't want
to take an unnecessary step, and
therefore couldn't think of going off
the route unless really compelled to.
So, after arguing the point with the
bear for sometime without effect, he
finally dropped logic, and taking off
his hat, exploded few sliding-rUck
oaths-the kind he always held in re-
serve with which to exhort the impen-
itent cayuse when his train was pass
ing over bad piece of trail. Now
he is known far and wide for his great
originality in the selection of SEN
tences when it comes to swearing.
and ON this occasion he threw his
whole soul into melting patllos of
profanity, and was unusually intense
and eloquent; and as the first iron
clad ripper saluted the evening air
and diffused itself for miles around,
the bear raised its head in respectful
attention. But when Joe fairly be-
gun to get in his work the poor ami
NAL turned horror-struck and fled howl
ing into the wilderness. The miners
out there relate the above for facts,
and as the Lemhi boys are noted for
strict vcracity in all things we have
