We have received communication
from correspondent Of Pcndlcton,
Umatilla County, Oregon. recording a
recent exploit Of Mr.. John McCracken,
an nIino:san. who Is new herding sheep
in the wilds swherc rolls the Oregon. =
McCracken left his sheep one day for a
ramble in the Blue Mountain, with his
trusty gun on his shoulder. lie had not
gone far when he was faced BY a very
large gray she-bear. The bear was so
" unacquainted with man." that she
made for Nc Cracker without hesitation,
but soon reconsidered the motion when
she discovered that the man didn't
scare. McCrackcn cracked away at her.
She retraccd her steps and commenced
climbing tree near by. Another shot
brought her down all in heap at the
foot OF the tree. McCracken reloaded
and crept up softly to see If the bear
was quite dead. He heard noise over
head, looked up and saw another big
bear coming numbering down the tree
for business. He waited for dead shot
and fired both barrels for sure thing.
The second bear came down with ac-
celebrated velocity and fell all in heap
at the foot Of the tree. Another noise
overhead. Eyes up. Another big bear
was scratching bark, coming down to
see what was the matter with the Others.
McCracken had no more loads--had no
time to load, and he ran away from I'M
der that bear-bearing tree. He made
rapid tracks to camp, and reloading,
mounted his horse and rode back 10 the
slaughter Of bears. The other fellow
was still around, and having ascertained
the fate of his fellows-and observing
the reinforcement of the enemy-he took
to the tree. McCracken drew bead on
him, fired, and the third bear fell AL in
a heap at the foot of the tree. There
were no more bears to come down, but
there were three dead bears lying all in
a heap under that bear bearing tree
John McCracken did il with his trusty
gun, and our correspondent, 5. Richard
son, vouches for the exploit. He de-
sires that McCracken's friends in lii
nois should know that John McCracken
has received due honor as the champion
bear-killer Of Oregon. The shepherd
er of the Blue Mountains was living on
the fat of the laud at last accounts
