for ourselves" Sensible Frederick.

Len Butcher, a well-to-do man, whose
wife had expressed a preference for a

opened the fight by firing on the latter,
which fire was repeated and returned
by the horsemen, until Henry, who de-
served to be killed for his intimacy

enough to fight over a woman of his
wife's tastes, received fatal wounds

which the adventure occurred, for the
purpose of visiting a derrick. He had
his rifle, bowie-knife, and a large deer
hound with him, and was crossing a
deep canyon, when he espied a huge
grizzly about fifty or seventy-fve yards
off. The opportunity was too good a
n to let pass, so he pulled up and
blazed away; but his aim was not very
accurate, and he only succeeded in
wounding the animal, and before he
had time to reload his rifle the bear was
close upon him, and there was no alter
native but to stand his ground and
trust in Providence and in his weapons.
The bear came right after him and

with the butt of his rifle, but ere he
