The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1901-09-11

A Mr.. Steele, of Virginia, had missed
various articles from his pantry, and
his -four barrel had been the most
frequently visited and the most to
suffer. He tried in vain to detect the
thief. Recently he fitted up camera
and placed it in position that anyone
disturbing the flour would uncon-
sciously cause the plate of the camera
to be exposed and a snapshot of the
thief taken. Mr.. Steele discovered
that the plate had been exposed and,
upon developing it, recognized the
thief bending over the flour barrel.

head of bru1n, but each time the
brute, with a movement which
seemed almost human, with its fore
paws lifted the rope from around his
neck before Saban could tighten the
moose. On the eleventh cast the rope
struck the bear in his open mouth
and before he could get it out the
knot was drawn tight at the back of
his head.
'Then the real battle began. First
the bear would drag the horse and
then the horse would drag the bear by
the rope. Then the bear would make

not go to his assistance, although he
waved for help repeatedly. He told
me afterward: I certainly at that
point would have turned the bear loose

pride was up, and I determined to
make the fight to finish
''The battle lasted for more than an
hour, gradually man and horse get
ting the better of it, and Bruin was
finally dragged to Saban's sheep camp,
where his herder and camp mover
were. Saban got Winchester rifle and
commenced pumping lead into the
brute. He was dismounted and had
fired four shots, each one entering the
head, but still the bear came on. It was
intensely exciting. 1t looked like every
minute the bear would be on the man.
Saban told me at this juncture of the
fight why he acted as he did. l will
quote his own language:

killed the bear. I knew with the
shots I and the other men had fired

mistake. I thought it was all up with
me. I turned to run and fell. In an
instant I felt the hot breath of the
bear in my face.
ut was at this juncture that the 9th
er men got hold of the rope and with
one tremendous pull dragged the bear
from the PROSTATE man. In another
instant he would have been killed. By
this time the whole crowd was de-
moralized. The rope had gotten loose
and the bear started for the forest.
One of the men fired shot which went
directly through his heart and he fell
dead in his tracks. It was worth going
to Wyoming to see. There were u
balls in that bears head and neck and
not one or all of them killed him.

and wondering if my presence would
make itself felt and divert its interest
from the music. But no; l don't be-
lieve even speech would have broken
the spell. The creature seemed dazed,
entranced, fascinated!
"After watching him for time I
went quietly over to my daughter
and without startling her by so much
as a hint of my strange discovery, I
asked her to desist for a few mo-
ments from the minor and semi
weird notes she was playing and
strike into one or two lively airs.
She did so, while I returned and
watched the reptile.
'sAfter couple of minutes Of the
rafting music the snake began to
grow FESTIVE. It reared it's head,
beat it from side to side, and showed
other symptoms of restlessness and
anger. The music kept on; the
snake began to writhe and SILVER, as
if in, distress; finally it uncoiled and
glided away out of sight in the IN
derbrush.
.sWhen I told my discovery to the
male portion of the family they were
all ready to watch for that snake and
kill him at the first opportunity. But
I forbade that; I desired to make a
further study of his love of music,
and | did so. I prepared my dough
ter to look for his advent again, and
his snakeship did not disappoint us.
Again and again we watched him
creep to his musical rendezvous, and
again and again we tested the quail
ity of his musical tastes. We proved
beyond the shadow of doubt that
low, sweet music. minor, sad or
weird notes fascinated that snake,
and that anything lively or noisy re-
PEELED him.
81 grew positively interested in the
study and even found myself be-
slowing sort of human pity on the
reptile. But it resulted in no good,

finish my story by saying that the

imposed upon wine, alcohol and tobac-

would certainly be unable to feed his
courtiers and himself had he not the
