Four Grizzlies Slain by Hunter in a

shaw, expressed an earnest desire to 90
bear hunting, and accordingly one
morning he started, in company with
Greene French, George Burgess and Jo
Lightfoot. Arriving at q thicket, the
dogs gave notice of their near approach
TO bear, and the party decided to station
themselves at certain points and let the
dogs go in and drive the bear out. This
was done; but the Doctor, becoming i'm
patient, entered the thicket himself. The
heavy underground made his progress
slow, but he fought his way ahead until
he came to fallen tree lying in little
gulch. Helping himself along by the
limbs he arrived at the upper end Just in
time to be confronted by huge grizzly
bear. Retreat was impossible, as it had
been with the utmost difficulty that the
Doctor had advanced so far; there was
no tree in convenient dist anee, and as
the grizzly showed fight, there was moth
ing left for him to do but shoot. Taking
deliberate aim with mis- Henry rifle, the
Doctor fired and the bear fell MORALLY
wounded. Another load was sprung
from the magazine into the rifle, and the
Doctor, looking toward his prey,
was surprised to see second bear
in the same spot. This he shot
also, and quickly reloading, was yet
more astonished to see a third bear in
the same place where he had shot the
other two. Again the lever moved and
fresh charge went into position, and
again the Doctor looked up and discov-
cred a fourth grizzley coming toward
him from the same opening in the brush.
Whang, went the gun again, and down
went bear No. 4. By this time the Doctor
had got warmed up and excited, and he
kept moving the lever and firing into
the bodies OF the bears until the sixteen
shots in the magazine were exhausted.
Meantime his companions hearing the
shooting, and presuming the cause,
made their way to where the Doctor
was, with the intention of assisting him,
but found him on top of the largest bear,
with the others strewn about, swinging
his hat and shouting Justify. One was
an immense grizzly, so large that the
hunters could not handle him, and the
other three were good-sized grizzlies.
probably about two years old. The
shooting of four bears by one man.
without even changing his position, is
something hitherto unheard of, even in
the most highly-colorei annals of the
Western wilds.
