tary OF the Tug, which may cost

and : ent to the mountains In
quest Of game. AT the place above
mentioned they came upon flock
OF wild turkeys and managed to
bag several. The reports Of their
guns brought bruin from his hid
ing place in u chaparral thicket,
and he at once exhibited signs Of
fight.
Both Thomas and Baldwin emp.
tied the contents OF their Wlnches-
tiers into the enraged animal, but
without effect, aid the fight came
to close quarters. They used the
barrels Of their guns aud bowie
knives in their defense, but were
unable to cope with the wounded
bear, who bore Thomas down with
a stroke Of hIl paw and terribly
lacerated him. Baldwin remained
by his partners side and he, too,
suffered from blow and was
knocked senseless.
Suffering from the loss Of blood,
the animal gave up the fight aud
left the two wounded men on the
battle field, where other hunters,
happening to pass, found them
and secured medical aid. Both
are 10 a serious condition and
Thomas is not expected to live.
