J. II. Hicks Has Hard Fight With . l,2Oe Pound Silver Tip.
 Word comes from the herd of cat tie started by our townsman F.. S. Gosney couple of weeks ago to Sal, River Valley, in charge of J. H. flick. with three experienced knights of tho rata, of a most interesting fight with monster Silver Tip. The herd Lad rounded up on the bluffs of Bill Will. Hams fork and Hicks had gone ahead to look out the trail. when old Bruiu applied for admission into the herd. "Tex" and Walter decided 10 rope him, but found they had ovei sized them selves, and had not Moberly made a timely shot with his forty-four Win- chester, Walters horse. if not the rider. would have paid the penalty. The fight was brief as it was exciting, and when Hicks returned the boys were exchanging mutual congratula- tions on the bears retreat when they had ouly three cartridges left. Hicks took the Winchester, and remarkiDg that "three cartridges were two more than an even break" took the trail into the brush. The rest of the story is best told by himself: Il looked my way out cautiously, for to run here was impossible. had gone only a hundred yards, when an indescribable soul-stirring growl and a smashing of the bushes gave notice of fight at close range with a crippled bear in his native element. He had missed my location and was charging in the brush sixty feet below me. The mo- nent his head reached an opening 1 fired For an instant l saw his four black feet and knew I had hit my mark, the neck. could not shoot again for the brush. until he rallied only few moments later. This time he knew my location and came directly for me. Knowing the next play was the rubber 1 held my fire until only twenty feet away and placed my sec and shot square between the eyes. He dropped quivering in his tracks. ] gave him my last cartridge and sat down to rest. It is queer how tired a man gets when good-sized bear offers to shake hands with him and there is no tree near. I did not sleep well tbat night, and Tex tells some bad stories about the affair Anyway, have fine Silver Tip robe and another bear story" The animal is reported to have been the monster of the Mo. gollons and estimated to have weighed twelve hundred pounds.
