have Just learned one OF the most
thrilling encounters with huge grizzly
that ever happened within the limits
OF this territory, and a brave young
Western woman is the heroine who
killed the monster.
The details and incidents of this
wild and terrible encounter are of the
most interesting character, and l
doubt not but the readers OF the En-.
quirsr will be highly pleased with its
perusal.
Robert Wilson lives far up in the
Big Horn range OF mountains, whose
peaks tower to the limit of perpetual
snow. Here himself, wife and family
are secluded from the haunts OF civil
ization and seldom does one OF them
venture down into the settlement
until spring is far gone and the sum-
mer's sun has melted the deep SHOWS
out of the valleys and left the mount
ain pathways clear aud unimpeded
for travel.
So the other day, when Wilson's
friends caught a sight OF his brawny
figure staggering into Sheridan on d
mountain bronCho, heavily laden they
were Just as much astonished rs they
would have been if some OF their dead
relatives had risen up out of their
graves and appeared or the streets of
the village.
As bob" neared the principal gro.
Gerry in the village the crowd grew
thick around the doorway and when
he halted and climbed down" from
the Cayuse he was awarded a friendly
greeting and hearty hand-shake, for it
is universally conceded that Bob's
heart is one Of the largest in the terri
ritory.

and as it fell to the ground he ex-

exclaimed he, with an air OF triumph.

"It's a whopper. Whar dye git it?"
shouted half dozen by ISLANDERS all
at the same moment.
Didn't get it all. 1t got me-" re-
torted Bob. "Or rather it was intend

"But whar d'you git him?" queried
several of the crowd.
"Just you wait and I'll tell you all
about the bar" came the response.
At least twenty old pioneers and
others obeyed the summons for drinks,
and at the conclusion Bob called out:
"Sit down thar, ye Burgers, for the
biggest grizzly is dead. S'spose yer
didn't know that my darter Jane
killed him?"
"You bet we didn't. Why, she's

voices.

hadn't been for that darter my name
would have been Dennis, sure. She
just pumped that bars hide full Of
lead"
And the old hunter, in the most
plain and simple language, related to
his hearers the severe and ugly hand
to-hand encounter with the beast, in
which his escape from instant death
was almost miraculous. Finding the
bears den under a huge shelving rock
in the side Of the mountain, and fall
ing to dislodge the grizzly, he went
home and secured TIE assistance of
his daughter, who is an expert shot
with a Winchester rifle. Together
they returned to the den and tried to
persuade the bear to come out. But
the grizzly still refused. This made
Rob" more adventurous than ever.
He cut a long pole, tied a rope to his
foot and taking hisragolyer and hGnt-
ing knife crawled into the huge
passageway, determined to find the
bear &C all events. The sight of the
man enraeed the animal and it rushed
towards him. Fortunately for Bob
he watched his opportunity and
skillfully avoided meeting the bear
face to face, but both man and bear
became wedged together, so that
neither could do the other much
bodily narm, though Bob was PRESSED
so tightly as to be almost squeezed IN
pieces. The bear was endeavoring to
seize Bob with its monstrous Jaws,
and Bob was trying TO get
his knife ready for action. Jane
was equal to the emergency. She
fired into the bears throat, and q
minute later he dashed out OF the
opening to catch her, but being fleet
and the bear blinded by the shot she
succeeded in escaping to q place Of
safety. In her fight She was compell-
ed to drop her rifle and had nothing
to defend herself With. The bear
rushed back to it's den to again fall
upon her father. Jane was struck
with horror, expecting her father
would meet with an awful doom.
Fortunately the old hunter, Just III
the moment Of time, discovered q
marrow opening between the rocks in
the side Of the den into which be

It being too small an aperture for the
latter TO enter. Here he fought the
