Next day nothing of any interest happened and
after deciding to move over TO nearby canyon
we broke camp and rode about two miles further
where wood was plentiful and where we could
find large trees SO we could hang the deer. we
wanted to cure the meat.
Returning to camp next morning found some
more good news as Louis had located bear on top
Of "Cerro Colorado" and had shot at him. but
being so far away did not hit him. This was
what wanted-a bear chase with the dogs.
So back to camp came Louis and after consulta-
ton we decided to wait till morning before start
ing after the bear. The next morning we were
away before daylight, Bob and Louis going horse
back and leading the dogs while went afoot up

Things had begun to get interesting now as the
dogs were getting nearer all the time and each OF
us expecting the bear to come down through the
canyon where we were. Presently Louis heard
something that sounded like the exhaust of an

bear makes awful breathing noise when tired
and hot. Louis made a run over to a small point
as he knew the bear would come In through a
small cut, because he could hear the rocks rolling
off the side of the hill which was caused by the
bear coming down in such haste. When being
pursued by pack of dogs and In close quarters a

2 p. m. and we did not want to get caught up In
the mountains after dark.

worst gravel beds about 500 yards across, and in
crossing this we had to assist the chuck wagon
over.
Up bright and early next morning and away in
rush as the mountains were goal During
this day in the forenoon nothing of any Importance
happened, but long about sundown business be-
gan to pick up. We had just arrived at the
Baballos (Horse Creek) and watered our horses
and intended going beyond about three miles
where grass good. Just after crossed
this creek left the wagon and rode out along
side at distance of about one-half mile. In
doing this / was in hopes of finding a deer as
the range was fine and prospects good. To my
surprise I found something better than deer,
big black bear. about 500 yards from the
wagon and upon arriving at the top Of a nice
smooth knoll noticed Mr. Bruin and he spied me
about the same time. The country was rolling
and l was riding an excellent horse, you can
imagine my feelings, as l was confident of hay

die and looked for my rope, but had left 1t In the

was not very fat, and Of course could put up

him from entering a cave. Giving my horse full
rein and extra hard spur thrust was able to
turn Mr.. Bear and by doing this got him started
across a somewhat level place. Riding along
side at a distance of about $50 feet took my
hind leg, but this seemed only to make Bruin
run the faster. Seeing would have to do better
than this l tried to get closer but could not
make 1t. Taking three more shots still missed

not hit the mark as readily as II standing
At the next shot I was within about 20 feet Of
the bear and this shot took effect. Just the

ent" and thatt what we all want. Bob being
nearby came to my assistance and we both placed
the bear my horse and carried 1t over to the
camp where skinned the pelt.
That evening we camped at Ell Remado, where
the coyotes very plentiful. but we did not
stop early enough to place our traps We had
FIVE well-trained hounds on this trip. The next
morning Louis killed fine specimen of coyote
large with fine fur and nice color. That evening
we entered "Cibolo" (Buffalo) canyon. which to
start with was quit shy Of water. Just at the en-
trance It's awfully rough and very slow going, so
rather than to take chances Of a breakdown we
decided to wait till morning and then get an
early start could make 1t through this pass
in one day. That day we hunted both sides of
the road for 'tenaho" or pot holes which most
generally contain water II one can find one where
the cattle cannot reach. Luck was with us as we
found one Of these "pots" near the road which
had sufficient water to water all the horses. The
balance Of the distance we had to assist the wag-
on by the aid of the Saddle horses" on account
of bad roads and the grade was continually going
higher.
That morning Louis killed deer and the
evening / killed big black tail buck, very Fat
and fine specimen. We only made about ten
miles that day but were up early next morning
to reach the water hole as the water ques-
tion was something serious and we had to arrange
our travelling accordingly. We passed through
grassy strip of about five miles where grass was
fine and green. These grass strips seemed to be
all through these mountains. ! suppose the rains
must have fallen in streaks. We reached the
water hole and watered the teams and filled kegs.
After consultation we decided to return to the
grass to rest the horses and above all try and
get some black-tai deer We reached this grass
about noon as 1t was only about three miles from
the watering place That evening we did not
find the deer expected but were still In good
spirits as horses were doing nicely the
green grass After deciding to go further into
the mountains as the Cerro Colorado (Red Noun
tain) was destination, went back to the
water-hoe. Bob, Louis and rode on ahead OF
the wagon and the way there noticed
where panther had followed down the trail to
the water-hole We went on down to the water
and watered the dogs and then turned them loose
on the panther's trail, as we were anxious for a.
chase and we had 1t from the very start. The o,u
dog "Remus" led off followed by the other four;
