Ended . Death.

Seattle Wash.) Cor. st. Louis Globe
Democrat: +. III. Browning, of Seat
tie, who has just returned from Daw-
son over the ice, brings news of the
terrible death of Carl Joel, of New
York, who was killed by a Yukon bear
on the banks of the Indian river. These
bears resemble a cinnamon, but are
larger. Joel was tramping up the
trail with a heavy pack, when he sud
denly came face to face with a big
Yukon bear, which started for the
miner as soon as he saw him. Joel
vas armed with a heavy Al Colt re-
yolyer and every chamber was loaded.
He started to fire at the beast when 1t
was 20 feet away. His aim was steady
and when he pulled the trigger a bull
let struck home. Blood spurted from
a severed artery, and he wrote out the
story of the fight in crimson on The
snow. The bear kept on and the min
er fired again. Another squirt OF blood
showed that the second bullet vent
home. No vital spot had been struck
and with the huge beast numbering
down upon him Joel stood his ground
and fred the remaining cartridges. AS
the beast was upon him he fired his
last shot. The bullet struck home
over the heart, but it had been fired
too late. With its last tremendous
hurst of strength the great bear grab
he'd the unfortunate man in its death
grin and never let go. A party OF
miners bound for Lower Dominion
creek found the body a short time
after. Joel was still In the bears
grasp. 1t had been a fight 10 the
death Of both.
