BOLD HUNTERS FIVE.
Deer and Bear are the Attractions that
Called Five Pullman Nimrods to the
Forests Of Northern Idaho.
A Successful Trip and Plenty of Game
Oscar Russells Break for
Liberty

| Messrs. Brlckman, Gardner, Mathews
Oscar Russell and NJ. G. Russell, eac
armed to the teeth and LOADED for bear,
departed for the wilds Of Northern Idah,
on Monday. August 10th. A team ant
wagon and several saddle horses wer,
used for conveying the party to the
districts where it was expected tina
game would be found.
The party was headed for Priest lake
and part of the journey through the
mountains was made by pack train
On account Of the reported shortness o.
feed for their horses they did not, how
ever, go to the lake but pitched theiI
camp few miles below. Small game
was found in great number during the
entire trip, and many were the prairie
chickens, grouse and pheasant that fell
below the fire of the hunters.
On reaching the end of the journey
the hunt for large game was commenced
at once, and as a result tue boys tell Of
seven deer and two bear that we're
bagged by the party. About forty deer
we're seen by the hunters during the
trip.
But when you speak OF bear; that's
when you cause smile to spread over
four pleasant countsnances. The fifth
countenance belongs to Oscar Russell,
and his phiz turns an ashen nue when
ever his thoughts revert to Bruin.
1t was early one bright morning that
Oscar shouldered his Winchester rifle,
and wandered off alone into the noun
tain woods. He had taken but four car
tridges, as he expected to return in
few minutes for breakfast. After walk
ing about mile he suddenly espied
yearling cub eating berries along the
mountain side. When within range he
fired two shots at the bear, and had the
satisfaction Of seeing him bite the dust,
but, s5 he didn'U DEF art this life readily
Oscar fred another shot into him. 1t is
quite natural to suppose that he exulted
over his triumph, but his exultation was
short-lived, for the third shot was no
sooner fired than every hair on Russelrs
head pointed toward the zenith and his
nose pointed toward camp A huge,
old she bear walked out from behind a
fallen tree, and after noticing its cub in
Its death agony and shifting the air a
coup of times, made grand rush in the
hunters direction. Oscar had had bear
enough for one day, and he started for
camp, which place he reached in an in
credibly short time. The party which
went over his track when he had ex-
planned the circumstances found his
boots in one place where he had left
them in order to facilitate speed, his hat
in another, and the dead cub in the bat
tie field. Oscar has nearly recovered
from hir fright.
The boys all had very fine and ex-
citing time during the trip, and re-
turned several shades darker in color,
All have settled down to work again,
and Mathews and Brickman are dlspens-
ing Blackstone from their old location.
