1T WAS THE BEAR
Narrow Escape Of Prospectors IN th'
Mountains Near Deer Lode.

About a week ago two gentlemen OF Deer
Lodge, wearied with the scdentary nature Oh
their occupations concluded TO spend a lew
DAYS in the neighboring foot hills and noun
tains prospecting. A team and conveyance,
prospectors' outfit, provisions, inclusive OF
iiuuid groceries, were procured and thus out
fitted they proceeded to point some twelve
miles from town. Here they camped below
the timber line, pitched their tent, plcketed
their horses, prepared and ate their supper
and afterward sat by the smoldering camp
fire until about X p. m, when they concluded
To retire for the night. How long they slept
il not known, but they suddenly became
aware that something was wrong in the I'M
mediate neighborhood. The horses tethered
near by were snorting and trembling Win
terror. Raising themselves on their elbows
they scanned the surroundings in an endeav-
mr. 20 find out the cause of the alarm. AT
this iuncture the moon passed from behind
cloud and by it's light there was seen a few
feet distant an enormous black bear. IL sat
on its hind legs aud seemed to survey the
frightened prospectors cOolly, n II u were III
no hurry to devour them and generously gave
| them time to utter prayer lot aehVerah'o
A whispered consultation resulted in res''
linton to endeavor to fee away and trust te
Brun being satisfied with one or both OF the
horses. A few rods away was thicket and
once in It's shelter the frightened prospectors
hoped to escape A trial was successfully
made and the prospectors lost no time IN
getting away from the spot. After daylight
they ventured to return to the camp. Can
tiously nearing 1t they discovered the horses
vet alive AMI the camp apparently as the!
had left IT, And they further made the dis
covery that the enormous bear Of the nigh
before was simply and only blackene
stump which they had previously notices
but forgo item in their fright. They swor
eternal secrecy, but the story leaked out au
