Suffocated by Sulphur.

While two men were hunting on the
Yellowstone river, they saw in small
gulch grizzly bear, curled up as il
asleep. Being men of experience, they
climbed up the side of the gulch and,
when out of reach, hurled rocks at the
huge animal. To their surprise it never
moved, although hit quite frequently.
Presently it dawned upon them that
the grizzly was dead, and closer en-
animation revealed such to be fact.
There was no wound on its body, and
while the men were bordering over this
singular circumstance, they became
conscious of a sense of suffocation from
strong sulphur fumes, arising from sew
eral holes in the ground near by. At
some risk they investigated further
and found the skeletons of four other
bears, an elk, squirrels and other small
game, all evidently asphyxiated by the
noxious gases. The gulch made nat
ural basin in which the gas settled,
and, as it is heavy and lies near the
surface, quadrupeds fall easy victims
in this death-trap. Even the hunters
suffered from severe headache and
nausea, after their brief stay-Golden
Days.
