though 1t was only the death of a pet
bear that tramped with me during my

hills in the hunt for gold that allowed
me to hold up my head again"
Ward found the pocket that he
sought. 1t contained $4,000 worth Of
good, yellow gold, and he is holding
on to 1t. After losing his vast for
tune in 1898, Ward, who had been q

most of that time" said Ward, was
Bob, who came to me as a bear cub.
We met in an unusual way. One night
after a hard days work 1 cooked my
meal and lay down to sleep. During
the night felt the pressure of soft
foot on my hand and instantly start
up. The night was dark and / could
see but few feet away. A rustling
in the bushes a few feet from where
1 lay indicated that something was
there.
Finally daylight came and imagine
my astonishment when saw that my
foe instead of being ferocious noun
tain lion was nothing but a bear cub.
The little fellow sat there shivering-
scared worse, if possible, than l had
been.

he followed me for months. When
found the fortune Bob and myself
made our way to Gold Hill, where we
located. We were good chums and I
loved that bear. When left him there
in charge of my friends he weighed
450 pounds.
"Some time ago some of the boys
of the town concluded to get up a
fight between Bob and a mountain
lion they had captured. The fight
took place few days ago, but it was
short. The lion got the bear by the
throat and that was the end of Bob"
