While we were looking at the hunter-whose
name we learned was Knowles my companion
asked him if, when he caught the bears. he
would let us know, as we wished to see one
III all his native wildness.
A few days afterward the whole camp was
aroused up about o'clock in the morning by
Knowles dashing. in among the tents and
that he had caught the bears, and he would
wait and go down. with US.
After hurried breakfast, horses were got
ready, and gallop of three miles brought MS
to the, trap, but no bears were there. The
"Are su sure, Mr.. Knowles asked,
"that you heard them inside the trap when
you passed this morning =
"Why, yes. and the dogs knowed as how
they war inside better than myself.
'fOh, here it is, said one of our party,
who had gone around to the other side. See
they have dug themselves out"
And sure enough, there was hole and
tunnel bored under the floor of the trap. The
door being now lifted and propped up, we
went in and found large hole cut in the
boards and the chips lying about, some as
large as if they had been taken off BY an
axe.
ssWell, now,7 said Knowles, chat thar is
my own fault Thar war some anger holes in
the floor of that trap. and guess he got
his claws in and took slice out, and the rest
was all easy, cause you see bear is var
mint as has got mighty powerful claws, and
If they get their teeth in anything that amt
iron they are bound to take slice out of it.
Old Zack Bennett told me to plug up them

M about varmints of all kinds"
The fact of four-inch plank having been
eaten through in a few hours did not seem to
surprise him in the least .,as he was evidently
ike his friend Zack, and knew great deal
lbout varmints.
After some examination Of the tracks and
signs we came to the conclusion that it
was only the she bear that had been inside.
And, comparing the size Of the hole in the
door and the tunnel under it, we knew that

,ity and strength Of grizzly.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-09-01

The California grizzly is very powerful and,
notwithstanding his clumsy form, is remark
agility of cat
Once / was stopping with a camping-out
party, in one of the northern counties, and
in our excursions through the forest we came
on some hunters building a trap in the
garden in the East for some good specimens
of grizzly and as two had been seen and
had made raids on the hunters little grain
crops, they we're determined to- trap them if
possible
The trap was large box, twelve feet by
fve and four feet and a half high, placed be
tween pine trees, and composed of four-inch
Los Angeles herald., 1907-09-01

planks, with door which dropped down in
groove, and an iron hoop nailed all round
on the inside edge of it. so as to give Bruin
no chance to use his teeth or claws and
make the beginning of big hole.
After the trap is all ready for setting, the
hunter or his party set out in different di-
rections, and when they think they have
gone far enough away. they return in zig
gag manner toward the trap, dragging piece
of meat or an old sack or salt Goldfish after
them, tied to the saddle. The old sack is
smeared all over with 'molasses, and Bruin
has as sweet tooth as any school girl.
When the hunters arrive at the trap, one
or all the bats are tied to peg at its farthest
end Bruin goes in. and. pulling in the peg

and is used to catch cattle and
horses, and sometimes bears.
The lasso is used in all parts of Spanish
America, both North and South, and in the
hands of an expert is very useful instrument
in stock-raising country.
The lasso, to be thoroughly efficient, has to
have several other things without which it
is no better than an ordinary piece of rope.
First, horse trained to stand and pull in any
direction which the rider may wish; secondly,
saddle of peculiar make and strength, which
has a horn on the front of it, and is used to
wind the end of the lasso round, while the
horse holds or pulls, laying all his weight and
strength on the strain.
Also bit and bride. of different make
from the ordinary, of such strength and pow
er that the most vicious horse is completely
under the control of the rider.
Rocky Mountain bears. when they come
out in the spring to feed on the young grass
ard berries, are lean and hungry, and are
ugly customers to meet.
Sometimes they are seen by party of
vaqueros (Spanish for cowboys) who saddle
up and dash after them.
Ii the bear is a grizzly he stands and shows
fight. The hunters surround Bruin. who rears
himself on his launches and awaits the attack,
when, quick as shot, the lasso is dropped on
his head or on one of his outstretched paws;
the others follow in quick succession.
The little horses now tug and strain, all pull
ing in different directions. Poor grizzly bear
has hard time to keep on his feet. and is
rolled over and over and tangled up and laid
out flat on the ground. without move in
him except his heavy breathing and painting
sides.
Bruin glares at his enemies with angry and
bloodshot eyes, and, seeing them within reach
of his dreadful DaWs makes one more effort
for revenge on his enemies.
He is bound fast and tangled up in the
folds of the raw hide. which buries itself into
his shaggy coat and sinks into the muscles of
his neck, stopping his breath His struggles
are all in vain; the mustangs with out
stretched necks and with feet planted firmly
in the ground, hold him down, and the baf
fed grizzly has to see his captors within few
feet of him, and he helpless as rabbit.
Taken altogether the trapping of grizzly
bear is as exciting scene as one can see
west of the Rocky Mountains, where these
ferocious animals attain their greatest size
and weight
