around and rasseled an choked to death by
some O. the bar killers that I couldn't
hardly hold myself
"Wull, one night, couple O. weeks ago,
81 Ainslsy an Joe Barnes an Pete Fletcher
an Josh Mullin an Josh Mullins dog
Tiger was settin' here KILN an clutchin'
an chokin' bar till it looked terrible
blood rum All O. them fellers is great bar
killers, an so is the dog. 81 Ainsley he
told how he met big bar wunst up along
the headwaters, an had nothin' with him
but a raftin' auger. The bar see 81 an
know'd him, an tried his best to git away.
But 81 scooted around an headed him of,
an KEEP headin' him off till he run the
bar up again a big oak tree, with ledge
O. rocks on both sides of 1t, an the un-
fort'nit bruin had to stop an take his medi-
cine.
Bored Hole in His Game.
"He backed up ag'in the tree and riz up
on his ha'nches, That was jist what 81
wanted, an he sa'ntered up and put the
pint of his auger ag' in the bars chist. The
auger was five foot long, an ez the bar
spared an spatted at 81, tryin' to git clip
in ag'in his head, 81 jist quietly went to
borin' inter the bars chist. The auger
worked so smooth that OIL bruin didn't
know what was goin' on, an when he did
wake up to the situation it want no use.
ST had bored clean through the bar an a
foot inter the tree, an thar the bar was,
pinned to the tree ez snug ez shootin'
match bill to barn door. He cuddn't git
away, an ST went over to Bills camp an
got q gun an came back an stopped the
bars howlin' by putin few slugs inter
his brain. burned if it didn't make ME
shedder all over to hear ST kill that bar!
"Wull, Pete Fletcher he killed couple
O. bar that night, too. His'n was slaugh-
tered up on Injin Knob, jist beyent here a
piece. Pete he was out 1ookin' fer bar, an
had his gun with him to use in case he got
in close quarters. He had got on the pint
jumped out O. the brush not more than two
rod ahead of him. Pete was after bar
skins more than bar meat an seein' that
these two had coats on worth sumpin' like
$40 pervidin' they want all ridd1ed with
bullets an cut an slashed with knives, he
decided to gether the two bruins in with
hull pelts by strategy.
Saving the PeIts Whole.
"Pete said the bars must ben strangers
in these parts, fer they didn't seem to re-
co'nize him, an stid o. tryin' to get away,
they squared off fer fight. Pete laid down
his gun, an took his knife out of his belt
and laid that down, fer fear he mowt fergit
hisself an use it on the bars an damage
their skin. One bar was bigger'n t'other
uh, an the biggest un stepped out to try
what there was in Pete. The bar riz up
on its hinders, an Pete he trotted straight
fer him, actin ez If he was gointer ketch
him by the neck. That fooled the bar, an
he waited fer Pete to pitch in an grab him.
"But Pete know'd trick worth two O.
that, an jist ez he got within reach O. the
bar he give student duck with his head
an shot forrid to'ard the ground, head fust.
He ketched the bar full tilt betwixt the
flanks with his head, an the bar was
h'isted over on his snoot on the ground
quicker'n a fash O. lightnin'. He fell like
a tree, an vile he was thinkin' up what
had struck him, Pete was on his feet ag'in.
Tother bar now rushed forrid to take a
hand in. Pete stopped down an grabbed
the big bar by one hind leg, an swingin'
him round his head a couple O. times, list
swep' him ag'in t'other bars head an
knocked that bar often his pins, an landed
him more'n 20 foot away, ag'in big tree,
breakin' his neck like a pipe stem. The
conclusion was leetle too heavy fer the big
bar, too, an ez Pete laid him back on the
ground he give gasp or two an quit livin'.
Pete killed them two bar SO quick an
clean, not spillin' any blood nor leavin' any
amell O. burnt powder, th't didn't shedder
much over it, but it made me breathe hard.
A Hunter Who R.ve Ied In Gore.
"But you orter heerd Joe Barnes kill his
bar that night 1t didn't seem to me o. II
I'd ever be able to get the blood scrubbed
outen the room here! Joei the savagest
