| expedition. When near Sabeo Lake, in an old

| ing on elderberries. Cakes opened fire on
them and shot the whole three; the old one
| rather resented that kind of a salute, and
turned on Oakes. but it was Of no use. she
| could not stand the fire from a repeater, and
| had to succumb. Mr.. Cakes skinned the three
| bears and started home With two OF the skins
| it being all be could carry. On the following
| dav he returned for the other sain; this time
| his brother accompanied him. aud when they
got near the same place they ran across two
more bears and shot them both, making in all
five bears in two days. This story is correct
as saw the skins. and Mr.. Oakes told me the
| story himself. OF course this is rather an I'm.
usual bear hunt, but thee years ago Mr.
