"Conjuror's House. to a friend:
Had a nice little scrap with the last bear I
killed. Wounded him across the canyon at $50
yards, crossed over, followed the bloody trail to
thicl1et, trail out-must be there. try to scare
him out, finally crawl in after him. He rises
up in front of me, l bust him in shoulder and
knock him over. He gets up and charges I
knock him in middle of forehead. He's so close
here" says I to me, you're up against the
devil" Dramatic instant, bear ten feet off
last cartridge. I bust him in the left eye. He
tumbes not five feet from gun. Skin said
bear; go three miles, camp for lunch, look
15O yards off, drop plate of rice, seize briskly
rife, bust him back Of head, he never wrigges
again.

as it may, the relief Of this country to
Cuba.
