G.. +. Gillian, a farmer of Mill Plain re-
siding not very far from Vancouver, has
big dog answering to the name of Bounce,
who has a great antipathy to ''varmints' Of
all descriptions Last Thursday feeling un-
usually bclligcrent. he went into the woods
not far from the house, found huge Wild
cat, which he freed, and his loud barking
brought to the scene the master, who shot
the beast, killing him without fight worthy
of special mention. In the afternoon Mr.
Giliihan started to go through the big
woods from his farm to the Fishers Landing
blacksmith shop When not more than
three hundred yards into the woods from
the Plain. Mr. Gillian became aware of 4
terrible rumpus in the brush, and soon old
Bounce appeared in the path with trcmen
dous bear at his heels, which the dog turned
and tackled again in the road, and then the
bear again retreated into the brush, fighting
all the time Although Mr.. Gillian was
armed only with small pistol grip shot gun,
he rushed into the fight, and gave the bear
the benefit of charge OF blrd-Shot NJ close
range. Having some buck shot in his pocket
he reloaded, and put in another SHOT behind
the foreshoudcr OF the bear, The dog kept
up the good eight, which enabled Mr. GILL;
han to get in the third shot, and then the
bear gave it up, laid down and died in the
proper way to correctly end bear hunt.
When the growing voice OF the bear was
hushed there was heard the squealing of a
cub not far off. which Bounce attended to
at once. and the cub sought position which
it thought would do the most good, up
young fir tree Two well-directod shots
from the little shotgun added the cub to
the trophies OF the day. The dog was hurt
in his fight. but not seriously, and has re-
covered The cub weighed about 30 or 60
pounds. and the old bear over POO Mr.
Gillihan was properly ''set up with that
night 10y his boys but he still insists that
Bounce would have done better only II
was poor day Tor game.

HUNTERS ARRESrED.-L week a hun
ter was arrested at the instance of J. Is.
Knapp, for willful trespass on lands where
hunters had been forbidden to hunt without
permission. The hunters brother by force
of arms took the arrested man away from
the officer. Both were finally captured and
taken before NJ. r. Hathaway, Esq, Justice
of the Peace, and the fines and costs they
had to pay amounted to about $40. SO
many fences have been destroyed, and so
many head of stock injured by stray shots or
malicious shooting, that the farmers on the
bottom are thoroughly stirred up, and will
prosecute to the bitter end all wll'ul tres
pass. Any man who goes as gentleman
and asks the privilege to hunt will not be re-
fused.
