Miss KellOgg's most thrilling adven.
ture was a Wild ride on the back Of an
elk. While O1t in the hills one day
she came suddenly on all angry bull
elk. She had leaned her gun against
tree and before she could get il the
elk was upon her.
She took refuge In a sapling and
tried 10 hold the animals antlers
around IL. but her strength was not
sufficient and the elk broke away. Miss
Kellogg took advantage OF a moments
respite 10 climb tree and sat on the
first limb. This angered the elk more
than ever, and he gave the tree such
bump that Miss Kellogg fell of.
She would have been stamped 10
death by the animals sharp hoofs had
IL not been that luckily she fell on the
elk's back. Then. with great presence
Of mind she grasped the antlers and
held on for dear life.
The elk was not expecting a develop
ment OF this kind, and E. tore of
through the woods, terror-stricken. en-
deavOring 10 shake off its burden. Miss
Kellogg. however, did not propose TO be
shaken, and she only chung the tighter.
Away they went. the crazed animal
dashlng through the trees with the ve-
lOcity of an express train. Up hills
and across valleys the animal sped,
jumping over the ROCKS with tremen-
dous leaps that almost unseated the
frightened rider.
Miss Kellogg was becoming weak
from the terrible strain, and felt that
she must soon release her hold. when
an unexpected incident proved her de-
liyerance. The elk had made violent
efforts 10 dislOdge the girl and it was
one Of the animals tricks 10 accomplish
this which saved Miss Kellogg's life.
The elk darted through some thick
brush where overhanging branches
came low down, in order 10 brush the
rider off. But the terrified animal mis-
calculated about its antlers and got
caught in the branches. 1t struggled
and struggled. but could not get loose,
and it was but the work Of moment
for the intrepid mountain girl to kill
the captive animal, by cutting its
throat with her hunting knife.
After her ride OF several miles was
over and the danger was all past, the
lucky girl came near collapsing from
nervous reaction. She could hardly
make her way home, but she got help
and returned TO claim the animal. Its
branching antlers now ornament her
home.
She says she would have entered the
bronco-b busting contest last fall had her
parents not dissuaded her on the
ground that she would be the only lady
entered. She lassooed a young bear
once and took it home alive by giving
her pony rein whenever it tried to at
tack her.

HUNTERS SURPRISED BY BEARS


Bears are very numerous in Orange
and Sullivan counties, New York. A
party of three well-known sportsmen
We're attacked by two ferocious bea SITS
and had narrow escape after des-
perate fight. Joshua Sands and +. w.
Low. of New York, with Gustavis
Schneider. of Nyack, had been stopping
with David ID. Hall. at Claraville. They
had spent the morning in hunting for
partridge and at about noon sat down
To lunch under the lee of an over
hanging ridge of rock. Suddenly a
good sized bear cub fell into their din
ner party from the rocks above their
head. The hunters sprang TO their feet,
but no sooner had they done so than

grown tore down the ledge of rocks
! and attacked them.

dropped upon one knee and sent n

had replaced the empty shell and once

gun two feet from the bears throat

The other bear, by far the fiercest of
the two. pursued Sands and Schneider

which their shotguns leaned. Sands
seized his weapon and fired at the bear
when IL was ten feet distant, the scat.
tering charge striking il on the nose.
He fired again almost instantly, this

Five Of his companions tried to save him.
 A hundred yards below were rapids over which ice had not formed. There the five men ran, hoping to rescue. Jar wis, when he emerged from under the ice; but when he appeared he was so far from the banks that they could not reach him. ..s. ..........,
