Bears have not so good chance in prey
ing on horses, as they are too slow for these
swift-footed animals; but mountain lion
can easily catch a horse. An incident of
this kind recently occurred in South Park
at August Lesenberg's ranch near the head
of Michigan creek. A large lion attacked
two horses and a colt of this ranch-killiuE
the colt and badly wounding the mother
and 2-year-old. The mare and the lion
waged a terrible fight, for the mother made
a hard struggle to save her colt. The mare
bore evidences of this almost unequal con
test with the hon, for she was badly
scratched and her ears were slit. In paw
ing at the lion the latter had leaned upon
her back, and only by terrible effort did
she save herself. She was bleeding from
various wounds when found in the morn
ing. The colt was dead, and the mare was
nearly exhausted from the result of her
struggle with the lion. The 2-year-oll
colt was also badly scratched, but es.

Recently c. G. Williams of Garden
Park killed a cub bear within a few feet of
his house. In that vicinity bruin has been
quite severe on stock.
GOLD HUNTERS AND BEAR MEAT.
A good bear steak is quite luxury. The
first bear meat 1 ate in the Rocky
mountains was in January, 1879. when going
the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo range
The thermometer was 90 below zero. We
We're sorry lot of hungry and nearly
frozen 'tenderfeet" following the greal
rush to the mines. We obtained some bear
meat from ranchman that made us a fine
lunch. The bear had recently been killed
by William Perkins, noted hunter of the
valley known as 'Moccasin Bill.n He is
one Of the best known bear hunters in the
Rocky mountains, and still delights to hunt
his favorite game in the Sangre de Cristo.
Bill is a typical frontiersman, and many
night in the mining camps have seen him
the center of an interested group, telling of
his many adventures with cinnamon and
grizzlies. Dressed in buckskin, of slender
build, about 6 feet tall, with a full and long
flowing sandy beard, and with his SLOUGH
bat thrown tack on his head, Moccasin Bill
telling bear story would make fine pic
ture for any artist Bill came very near
losing his life once in an encounter with
mountain lion, but was rescued in the nick
OF time by his companions.

DENVER, Col, Oct. 13.-There has bee
much complaint from stock men of beas
killing both horses and cattle. Mountain
lions have also been feeding on stock. Dr.
ing the past eighteen months John Moris,
residing about twenty miles from MG-ri-
sen. on Elk creek, Colorado, has had fifty.
Ave Hereford cattle killed and wounded by
bears. Some of the larger cattle showevi-
dences of having made desperate fight be-
fore they were killed. The cattle thatroam
the plains and mountain parks are shy, but
when at bay, will fight. A bear caulnake
good speed running in a straight lile, and
hence a man familiar with this character
istic of old bruiu, will take a zig-zac
course. If a bear once hugs the hgs of a
horse or a cow the animal soon becomes
victim in the almost IRON clasp. II lower
ing their heads to hook, the bear s,metimcs
seizes cattle by the nose or head. JON
Morris had lost so many fine cattle that h
resolved to put stop TO it. Purchasing
two large traps, he set them where the
bears had been accumtomed to raid his
stock A few days ago he found 800
pound bear snugly caught and making a
dasnerate effort to break she chain. NJ
Morris shot the bear and brought the car
cass as a trophy to Morrison, AMI then came
TO Denver, when the story ofIthe capture
was told.

ta wounded grizzly, being too weak to tol-

ohnson his bear trap.
H. BEAR CHASING BLIND MULE.
One morning he and a man named John
L. Smith went to the trap, Smith riding
mule named "Dick." that was blind in one
eye. A huge bear had been caught in the
rap but had broken the chain, and Uncle
Jesse laughs to this day at the thought OF
how that bear chased Smith and blind
"Dicl" until his old rifle stopped bruin in
its pursuit. A year later, in company with
Me,srs. Lester and McCandless, the latter
now a member of the Colorado state senate,
Unc'e jesse went on a bear hunt. They
were all crack shots, and Lester sool
wounded fine, fat buck that fled to tho
brush near by. Before they reached the
buck a monster black bear had attacked the
wounded deer and eaten out one of its hams.
Lester soon put an end to the misery OF tho
deer, and then killed the bear which was
fleeing up the mountain side. Tdls was one
OF the hugest bears on record. Bear and
venlson steaks were plentiful in that hun
ter's camp.
The bead of this buck was then placed
near ole Of Uncle Jesses bear traps Thu
next morning the trap and deer's mead were
both gone Nearly mile away they found
a large cinnamon entangied with the trap In
the brush. William VOris, whom | first met
in the Wet mountain valley about nine years
ago, happened to come up With party OF
hunters at the time Uncle Jesse was making
a fight ON the bear.

DOGS FIGHTING A BEAR.

Some of Mr.. Voris' dogs attacked the
cinnamon, which was a 30O-pOunder. The
bear would pick up those hunting dogs and
hurl them 10 or 10 feet with as much ease as
a rat terrier handles its enemy. After the
dogs had made their attack and the hunters
had had all the fun they wanted, they shot
the bear, which had in the meantime
hurled one of the dogs with such violence
that it was killed.
A man named Henderson once had a ter
ribe hand-to-hand encounter with bear on
Beaver creek. Wounding the animal, he
followed it into the thick underbrush.
There the bear, rearing upon its hind legs,
turned upon Hende son, tore his scalp, bit
off his ear and severely wounded hun Ill
the face and limbs. He fingered in that con-
ditlon for two weeks, suffering lntshse
agony. James A. McCandleSs, the state
senator previously referred TO, once rad
narrow escape while out hunting with a
party of friends. McCandless is as well
known as a crack shot as a politician and
lawmaker, but on this occasion lie only
wounded the bear, and the present senator
from Fremont county was compelled TO
climb h tree, leaving his gun behind him.
Later he was rescued from his perilous posi-
ton by friends who came to his relief.
