FOUGHT FIVE BEARS.
Only One Cartridge Between Boy and
Sure Daafh.

Only One Cartridge Between a Boy and
Sure Death.
A story of an encounter between five bears
and a boy. in which the latter came off VIC
torious, reached this city yesterday. The
hero of the adventure is said to be Bert Mon
roe, son of Henry Monroe, of the valley. The
boy is about 10 or 90 years old, and is an en-
tbusiastic hunter and dead shot. Last fall
he killed the largest bear that had ever been
killed in this section. and he refused SIS
for the hide. Although the latest ad-
venture in which he is said to have figured
so prominently sounds considerably like @
bear story, his friends in this city are in
clined to think he would not hesitate to
tackle one bear or dozen, if lie came across
them together.
Young Monroe started out for St. Peters
mission few days ago on hunting eXpedi-
ton. lie was after bear, and he found more
than he bargained for. His journey took
him up toward the head of Milk River, and
while not expecting IL he came face to face
with bear which emerged from what after
ward proved to be bears den or lair. He
had no sooner killed the bear with his trusty
rifle than another one appeared. He killed
this one in the same way, and the third ap-
peared: He killed this one also, and before
he hads time to realize that he was getting
about all the bear he cared for in one day
bear number four appeared. This fellow he
also killed, and there was only one cart
ridge left in his magazine. He needed this
cartridge, too, for a fifth bear and larger
than any of the other four came out of his
den and made for him. He fired his last
shot, and though it PROBABLY hit bruin il did
not do the business, for he came straight at
him.
Monroe did not have time to get ano ther
cartridge in his gun before the infuriated
beast was on him. The animal made slap
at him, which sent the useless gun flying out
of his grasp, and he just had time to draw
his hunting knife AMI give bruin an ugly
cut In the throat. In doing this he received
a severe squeeze from the monster and a
fearful bite on the shoulder. Then he lost
consciousness. 1t must have been only for
few moments, however, for when he came
to again his horse was between him and the
bear. The latter was evidently hurt, for he
was making a feeble attack upon the horse,
and was bleeding profusely from the wound
in the throat. When the horse turned tail
to his adversary and began to kick the bear
made off to the brush, leaving a trail of
blood behiud
Monroe found that he was hurt in his
back and side, which had been terribly torn
In lis brief struggle. With difficulty he
mounted his horse, which was quite unhurt,
and rode two miles TO a point where men
were at work on railroad grade OF the
Great Northern. From there he was taken
to the Piegan Agency, where he now is. A
party which went out the next day found
the four bears which had been killed and a
trail OF blood leading as far as q stream,
made by the fifth bear. The gun was also
found where it had fallen.-Helena (Mont.)
