with less disturbance. In the space OF an

he dare not creep on this bare plain ana
at more than 20 PAGES he cannot trust his

sTAGNOUNc and BEAR.
The DOG Wins the BATTLE Alone After Sew
eral Others Had Been Nanquished.

George W. McCrCdy, a prominent sheep
man of klckiiut county, and party or
sheepmen oonsi., ing of VIII Coleman, Milt
Moorehead, George Van Ostran, the elder
Coleman and hcrder, while in the vicin-
ity of the swamp corrals, on the Upper
Klickitat river, came across yearllng
brown bear, which was quickly freed by
the pack Of coyote hounds, three in num-
Der, belonging to Will Coleman.
The bear being only yoarling and be-
ing freed so easily, Van Ostran offered to
climb the tree and shake him out, evident
ly thinking him on par with coon, but
the bear held or to the limb and refused
TO be given the shake Then rope was
passed 10 Van Ostran who threw moose
over the bears head, and, giving the rope
TO one of the boys who was on horseback,
the latter took a turn around the horn or
the saddle, and as he was riding pretty
good COW horse, he succeeded In pulling
the bear down, and right here the fun
commenced, for the bear, rs the bear rushed
at the horse and struck him powerful
blow with his right, cutting deep cash
| In the horses shoulder and side and freeing
himself from the lariat.
The sheepmen were all up bull pines by
this time and had fine view of the battle,
the hounds being assisted by shepherd
dog. The shepherd getting too near, the
bear made swipe at him, getting his
claws under the dogs collar, and, of az
arms length, made him dance jig for
some minutes, the hounds then closing In
to help the shepherd dog out They were
nut out of the game in one two three order
