Whfla two men were hunting on tho

gulch a grizzly bear, curled up as II
asleep. Being men of experience, they
climbed up the side Of the gulch and,
when out OF reach, hurled rocks at the

Presently 1t dawned upon them that
the grizzly was dead, and closer ex-
animation revealed such to be fact.
There was no wound on its body, and
