A BEAR IN A GAVE.
Two Indians Went In by the Light of
Torch and Killed the Game.

Two Indians Went In by the Light of
Torch and Killed the Game.
Robert II. Davis tells in Gameland
how two buck Indians of the northwest
ern coast tribes went into Il bears den
and by the light Of tcrch, killed a big
grizzly bear.
A young law student got sight of the
bear one day while he was still hunt
ing, While trying to approach it the
hunter alarmed the bear, and it ran to
1 eco foot cliff and took refuge in a
hole there Tie student climbed up 100
yards on the face Of the elf and started
rocks down about the hole, thinking to
drive the bear out, hut the bear would
not start. Then he went to a nearby In
dian camp and got Trinity Dick and
Pitt river Indian, Who said they would
go with the man after the bear if he
would let them taie the rifle. The stu
dent let Trinity Dick take the rifle and
borrowed another for the Pitt river In
dian.
Il waited outside, the student told
Davis, 'while the Indians went into the
cave with torch. l listened for long
time, then | heard the dull boom of two
guns away back in tie cave somewhere.
Then all Wis still again for some time.

waved his hand to me- then went back

bear, which was already loosing its hide
at the knife point Of the Pitt river In
dian.
1.-THE cave WIS deep with many arms
The Indians had followed the main
cave, disputing with each other as to
who should go first Trinity Dick, being
the eldest, got the place of honor, while
the other followed, holding the torch
high aloft The bear was not in the
main cave and they went to the end
without coming upon it. On their way
out, however, the men were confronted
by the bear ut "a distance of 90 feet
Trinity Dick told his companion to hold
the torch steady so that the sights could
be seen plainly. When the shot was
fired, the bear pitched forward, and
then a second bullet was fired into it,
The Indians then turned and ran, load
ing their guns as they did so. But the
bear never moved again. "

The honor of being first in this coun-
try is, and always will be, conceded to
Washington. No man disputes his
right to the distinguished honor. His
memory remains untarnished by time, in
fact, the passing years add new luster
to the great name. His birthday is
celebrated with increasing interest as
the years go by. Great men of other
nations recognize the greatness of
Washington and other people honor his
memory. His fame is enduring and as
wide as civilization, inspiring patriotism
among all liberty living people; it is
well that people of his own country
should honor his memory by properly
observing the day of his birth.
