TRAPPED GRIZZLY,s FURY.
His Path i'm the Forest Marked by
Proof of His Strength.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun
There is more danger In trapping the
grizzly bear than in chasing him with the
rifle" said Col. Parker of Gardeau, Pa,
who has spent much time hunting, trap
ping and prospecting among the Rocky
Mountains. "A great deal of cunning has
to be used in setting a trap for a grizzly,
for he is as suspicious as fox, and will
frequently pass by tempting morsel used
as bait for a trap because he has made
up his mind that danger is lurking he
meath 1t. The grizzly bear never hesita ties
to encounter danger that confronts him
openly In the shape of a hunter, dog or
other enemy, but a suspicious-lookingo OBJ
ject, the nature of which he doesn't I'M
derstand, will quickly start him off about
some other business.
The men who make a business of trap
ping grizzly bears set their traps miles
back in the great gloomy forests, where
animals like to make their lairs among The
tangled fallen timbers, over which no one
can pass except on foot, and then only
with great difficulty. To come in such
a spot upon an ugly grizzly bear, an ami
NAL weighing almost as much as an OK
and not only ready but anxious for a fight
Is something that means business to The
trapper. grizzly bear will free himself
from a trap nine times out of ten If he
is not overtaken within a few hours after
he gets into il. The traps weigh forty
or fifty pounds. The jaws are worked
with springs so stiff that the strength of
two strong men is required to set them.
To the trap a chain is firmly secured
which is in turn fastened to a wooden clos,
four or five feet long. This serves as a hin
drance to the trapped bear as he retreats
or tries to retreat 10 his tangled haunts
To lessen the liability of the bear tearing
loose through the clog catching firmly in
Instructions the chain is fastened ia II
near one end. -
"A grizzly bear is most frequently
caught IN the trap toward the tip of one
or his forepaws, The instant the staal
jaws snap and close on him ne bes,ens

Der The hold of the trap on the bear is
not strong enough to Withstand every kind
of resistance the clog makes to his retreat
and the bears exertions to get free are
great and persistent, as l have more than
once observed when following the trail
OF grizzly thus raging onward toward
SAFETY. The bear seems to know that
his life depends on Kidding himself of the
incumbrance. As he rushes through the
forest he mows great swaths in the under
brush. He drags the trap against trees
logs and rocks, and whenever Il holds

tugs his imprisoned foot trying to tear Il
loose. The grizzly has not the In.

London. Feb. 1S.-The Berlin correspond

What Russia is to Germany on the po-

Hence the ELUSIVE amiability of Satur-

dictated by Germany's interest, is also
partly prompted by considerations arising
out of the Anglo-American rapprochement.
THE United States are TO be shown
that it is not only England who is their

paper men are not suitable for paid places on the
