An amusing story tells how a belated
hunter dropped into a hollow tree, in
tending to bunk" there for the night,
but fell so many feet that he became
alarmed, fearing he should never get
out. Toward morning a bear began
descending the hollow trunk, stern
foremost. The hunter grasped the
BEARS tail. and the frIghted animal,
scrambling out, drew the man after
him to the exit. In Colonel Innman's
description of The Old Santa Fe
Trail" there is a story which illustrates
the fact that a tail-hold is a safe hold.
One Of the Kansas pioneers, the Hon.
r. M. Dodge, started out one day with
a stage driver, named Harris, to hunt
for buffalo. Tney we're hungry for
fresh meat, but buffalo were scarce.
and after hunting all day, they we're
returning without having seen one.
Suddenly an old buffalo bull jumped
up from a sand hollow, and both hunt
ers emptied their revolves into his
body. The ball, though bleeding and
and staggering, stood on his legs de-
family, as If waiting attack. Harris
dismounted, that he might hamstring
the the animal, which had finally lain
down. The cut Of his knife brought
the bull to his feet, and with lowered
head, he went round the sand hill.
Harris, a tall, lank fellow, had
caught hold of the bulls tail as he rose,
and in q moment his legs we're flying
higher than his head. He did not dare
let go his hold on the bulls tail. Round
and round they went. Finally the old
bull weakened. Slower and slower he
circled round, and Harris succeeded in
cutting the bison's hamstrings.

oeast went down, that his tail would
