NEW YORK. Sept. 29.-Jim Jeffries

and has started his new record by
killing big grizzley bear with one
punch.

back was a wildcat and bear.
The last day of the hunt the big fel-
low went forth with nothing but pair
OF brass knuckles in his hunting coat.

came face TO face with a bear. He
picked up a rock at first and soaked
