four rifle bullets induced him to. That

to astonish even q veteran trapper, but

had shot the biggest buck on record as

ploits had won him. And he fully in
tended to do so, for he had lost the sight
of one eye entirely, and the other eye
was failing But he was not permitted
to retire just yet.
A few weeks after his great trapping
experience a delegation of baclwoods
farmers waited on him and solicited
him to kill bear or something that was
playing havoc with their sheep and
pigs. The weather was warm, and
Main did not care to undertake the
task, being then almost SO years of age.
His neighbors insisted, and he took
down his gun once more and shouldered
his traps He put out six wildcat
traps and four bear traps. The next
day each one Of five Of the former had
a wildcat ia it, and the sixth one had

Two of the bear traps had each a big
bear. A third bear trap was missing

bear had walked off with the trap to
one of his legs. The fourth bear trap
had not been disturbed.
Mahn did not intend to 90 home with

He tracked the bear that had it to a
swamp and scared it out. The trap was
fast to one of the bears fore feet. The

with single shot. As the wildcat was
minus one fore paw, the old trapper
knew he had bagged the cat that had
got out of his sixth trap. Mahn had
left his undisturbed bear trap in the
woods. The next day he went out and
got his fourth bear. Then he put away
his traps and hung up his gum and
never used them again.

Joseph Main, of Elk county, Ia,
once famous as a mighty hunter, died
a few days ago, nearly 80 years old 1t
vas less than ten years ago that fail
ing eyesight compelled him to give up
his life ia the woods. He had hunted
and trapped in the Pennsylvania woods
since 1920, and the stories of his ex-
ploits are household words in the vest
ern and northern portions of that state.
de remembered when elk were yet nu-
merous in the state, and one of his IA
vorite stories was of the time when ne
was a boy and went with his father on
an elk hunt. They followed the elk
from the headwaters of the Allegheny
river until it crossed the river below
where Oil City is now, and led the chase
into Ohio, where, on the third day of the
hunt, it was killed not far from what is
now Mansfield.
This woodsman, says the New York
Sun, ended his career as a hunter and
trapper by a series of successes which
he declared were the most satisfactory
to him Of all his exploits. He was trap
ping in Center county, and had four
bear traps out. He started out one
morning to look after them. The first
trap he visited had done good work 1T
had a big bear in it with a magnificent
coat of fur. The old trapper shot the
bear and went on to another trap That
one had a surprise for him. It was not
a bear, but an ugly, glaring, snarling
catamount, the largest one Alahn had
ever seen in all his career in the forest.
1t was not only ugly. but extremely
tough, for the trapper had to shoot it
five times before it would die. This
trophy was over four feet long.
After killing the catamOunt Main
went to the third trap, and there he
found waiting him a monstrous old
timer of bear, caught in the trap by
both fore feet. How the bear managed
to get both feet into the trap was some
