reported having seen a large grizzly
roaming over the hills near Boulder
a short distance from the road out
fits camp. Charley and Shade man
ifested great anxiety for bear mea,
and suggested that they 60 out anc
bring Mr.. Bruin into camp. Boss
Joe rebelled; they were hired te
work on the road, at six bits a day
and provide their own mustard, and
not to hunt bear. "You uns," com
'manded Joe, with as much dignity
as Rev. I. T. Osborn, ex.chairman
of the HALEY board of county com.
missioners, displayed when be was
doing the "bossing" act at So a day,
"you uns, l say, get everything
ready TO move camp while / go and
hunt the horses" The boys sub.
mitted 10 the edict and had all the
camp fixtures placed in the wagon
ready to move. They waited long
and patiently, but the boss did not
make his appearance; they kept on
waiting, waiting, waiting, when it
dawned upon them that the boss
had taken a 44-caliber winchester
along with him, to be prepared in
the event of his jumping up bear.
Becoming uneasy at his prolonged
absence, the boys feared the worst
and started out to make a search
for the lost boss, providing them
selves in the meantime with gunny
sacks, blankets, etc., with which to
bring in his remains. They knew
that Joe's rheumatic limbs would
be of no avail in . race for life with
a bear, hence the precaution to be
prepared to sack up his mangled
in case the inevitable had
occurred. The boys i'ersevered in
their search and finally heard q
faint sound reverberating through
the lofty pines. reminding them Of
q litter of pigs squealing in q dark
alley. The trail ~ss getting ho. but
the "reverberating" sound had al.
most ceased when a huge brown
bear was espied sitting on his haun-
ches, head erect. tongue tapping
bis jaws and gazing intently up the
tree in anticipation Of dainty meal.
The kids took in the situation and
also the boss, who was perched in
The top of a tree exhausted from
frigh, and yelling for help. Both
drew a bead On bis bearship and
he tumbled over dead, much to the
relief Of Joe, who Skinned down
the tree remarking ave got him,
boys, didn't we?'
The bear was brought into town
and from his appearance he had
met with many reverses. One Of his
paws had been amputated, perhaps
by trap, and he was minus ears.
