Back yonder in the free.silver days
Brent had a friend who had raised
a grizzly from a cub and had trained
the big brute to saddle. He used to
ride the bear on prospecting trips.
One day the prospector was riding
up an arroyo when he ran plump into
q band Of six fmll-srown and untam-
ed silver-tip bears-enorrnous fellows
and they all showed fight.
The prospector d~ismounted from
his tame bear. unsluns his rusty
rife. and after q terrihAc battle six
bears. one after another. bit the dust.
Then he mounted his own bear and
proceeded on his way. but ne hadn't
ridden more than a mile when he no.

Brent. he had killed his own grizzly
and was riding one of the wild ones
