The commonwealth. (Greenwood, Miss.) 1896-1923, 1911-11-10

Next day nothing of any interest happened and
after deciding to move over to a 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, as we
wanted to cure the meat
Returning to camp next morning I found some
more good news as Louis had located a bear on top
Of "Cerro Colorado" and had shot at him. but
being so far away did not hit him. This was
what we wanted-a bear chase with the dogs.
So back to camp came Louis and after a 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 I went afoot up
through another canyon and we were to meet at
the top at a designated place.
1 was about half a mile across a canyon, Louis
at another point, Bob at another and Henry, the
cook, could not stand the temptation SO he had to
follow, and was placed at another entrance. Dur
ing this time the dogs were hot on the trail max
Ing good time, and if you have never been in such
a suspense as this just try getting on a prominent
point overlooking the entrance to several small
canyons and in hearing of a good pack of hounds
If you have any sporting blood in your veins It
Will surely come forth and make you feel for the
time being that you are lord of all you survey"
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
automobile, and he knew, just the moment he
heard it, that 1t was the bear breathing, and a fat
bear makes an awful breathing noise. when tired
and hot Louis made a run over to q small point,
as he knew the bear would come In through q
small cut, because he could hear the rocks rolling
of the side Of the hill which was caused by the
bear coming down in such haste. When being
pursued by a pack Of dogs and in close quarters a
bear will not run down hill but Just puts his head
down and forms himself in the shape of a ball
and rolls down hill. Rocks half the size Of a
barrel were falling down these bluffs. Louis
rounded the point just in time to intercept Bruin
and at a distance of about 80 feet let drive at
MIN with his 5000, hitting him In the heart. This
did not stop him as he rolled and fell along for
some so feet before stopping. Another shot
brought him tota halt About this time the dogs
began to arrive and were pretty much all In. as

found excellent water, but encountered one of the
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
a rush as the mountains were our goal. During
this day in the forenoon nothing of any Importance
happened, but long about shutdown 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 was good. Just after we crossed
this creek l left the wagon and rode out along
side at a distance of about oEe-half mile. In
doing this I was in hopes of finding a deer as
the range was fine and prospects good. To my
surprise l found something better than a deer, a
big black bear. 1 was about 500 yards from the
wagon and upon arriving at the top of a nice
smooth knoll 1 noticed Mr.. Bruin anG he spied me
about the same time. The country was rolling
and 1 was riding an excellent horse. SO you can
Imagine my feelings, as / was confident of hav-
ing some genuine sport 1 frightened up my sad
die and looked for my rope. but had left 1t in the
wagon. Without a moments hesitation l reached
for my rifle. Then the race began. This bear
was not very fat, and of course could put up a
fast race. He made for the side of a nearby hill
and it was my intention to head him of to keep
him from entering a cave. Giving my horse full
rein and extra hard spur thrust I was able to
turn MI Bear and by doing this I got him started
across a somewhat level place. Riding along
side at a distance Of about $50 feet I took my
first shot. hitting him in the feshy part of the
hind leg. but this seemed only to make Bruin
run the faster. Seeing I would have to do better
than this I tried to get closer. but could not
make it Taking three more shots I still missed
as l was running my horse at full speed and could
not hit the mark as readily as II I was standing.
At the next shot I was within about 20 feet OF
the bear and this shot took effect Just as the
bullet hit the bear he wheeled and made direct
towards my horse, catching him by the tail. Now.
good reader. this may not seem scary, but try 1t
one time and see how your blood circulates. Mine
nearly pushed my hair on my head. If I had not
been riding a good horse It would have been
serious sure enough. My horse realized the posi-
ton he was in and I had to ride to keep my seat
as there was some high jumping and quick work
done which all happened in q few minutes. After
the bear tore loose from the horses tail he STUN

ent' and that's what we all want. Bob being
nearby came to my assistance and we both placed
the bear on my horse and carried 1t over to the
camp where we skinned the pelt.
That evening we camped at Ell Remado, where
the coyotes were 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 a fine specimen Of a 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 SO we could make it 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 If 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 a deer and the same
evening I killed a big black tail buck, very fat
and a fine specimen. We only made about ten
miles that day but were up early next morning
so as to reach the water hole as the water ques-
ton was something serious and we had to arrange
our travelling accordingly. We passed through a
grassy strip Of about five miles where grass was
fine apS green. These grass strips seemed to be
all through these mountains. I suppose the rains
must have fallen in streaks. We reached the
water hole and watered the teams and filed kegs.
After a consultation we decided to return to the
grass to rest the horses and above all try and
get some black-tafl 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 as expected but were still in good
spirits as our horses were doing nicely on the
green grass. After deciding to go further into
the mountains as the Cerro Colorado (Red Noun
tain) was our destination. we went back to the
water-hole. Bob. Louis and I rode on ahead of
the wagon and on the way over there noticed
where a 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 old
dog 'Remus" led on followed by the other four:

FELT SORRY FOR HIS MULE.
But That Was Before the Grizzly Made
His Attack.

In a trip over the Sierra Nevadas 9
Californian took with him not only his
favorite horse, but q mule named Billy
Billy was a large iron gray mule Of the
pack variety and had more than once
made the trip.
On the second day in the mountains
the oWner tethered Billy to a tree, al
lowing him about twenty feet range
where there was good feed, and then
took q seat on a fallen tree not far
away to eat his own lunch. He had
finished his meal and was half doing
when suddenly the mule reared and
snorted loudly. His owner sprang TO
his feet and looked about.
Not ten feet off stood a huge grizzly
bear, evidently with designs on the
owner Of the mule. That individual
rushed for the nearest tree and made
good time in climbing 1t. He was safe
for the nonce, but how about Billy?

his head after a moment and resumed
feeding as If obliyious of the grizzly's
proximity. AS for the bear, he stood
still for several minutes, his eyes wan
dering from the man In the tree to
Billy. The mules composed demeanor
evidently puzzled him.
By and by the grizzly started to make
a circuit Of tae tree to which the mule
was tethered. Billy continued to nib
bic grass, but kept an eye on the enc
my's movements. The bear emitted a
series OF deep growls, then opened his
great mouth and disclosed two rows of
ugly teeth.
Slowly the great creature advanced
upon the mule. Billy still continued
to Craze. his back toward the bear.
Nearer came the grizzly and still near
er. The mule stopped feeding. From
his perch the Californian watched the
scene with breathless interest. He felt
sorry for his mule.
Finally the bear stopped, rose on his
hind quarters and prepared to strike.
AT that moment the mule, at whose
stupidity his owner had wondered,
sprang forward, and the grizzly's paws
struck empty air.
Then the man in the tree saw a gray
form double itself into a ball and
bound upward. 1t was the mules
turn. Out of that ball flew two iron
shod hoofs, which shot back and forth
with the regularity of piston rods, with
q thump, thump, thump, against the
body of the grizzly, which was COM
pletely off its guard.
He was hit all over-on his head, on
his shoulder, N his side, on his back
by those pile driving hind feet. He
fell in one direction, then in another,
seeming utterly Incapable of getting
away, and when Billy stopped kicking
the breath Of life was gone from the
bears body.
The mule had not a hair harmed,
apparently, and after resting a bit re-
turned quietly to his feedlng.-Chicago
