Killing of a Bear During
Wisconsin River Raft
ing Days.
THE THIRD STORY.

ABB Wood was the first permanen
settler in Baraboo and it was hi;
nature to be first in about everything
else. He was big and strong and moi
afraid TO fight for what be considered
his rights. Abe was not only hunter
but river raftsman as well. From
Newport he occasionally took RATS of
logs or lumber down the Wisconsin
river to be marketed in the cities
along the Mississippi and he had a
weakness for rum that drew him into
every grog shop along the water
course. While on one Of these float
ing journeys he stopped at Prairie du
Sac to become acquainted with the
distiller's products and this tarrying
by the wayside resulted in an awk-
ward experience for him.
1t was hay making time and
Thomas Tabor with companion was
busy making hay in a field not far
from the village. AS the two were
swinging their scythes and cutting
swaths across the meadow, they were
startled to see a bear attempting TO
climb over the rail fence into the hay
field. Tabor seized fork and rushed
to the fence to prevent the intruder
from getting into the field while his
companion ran to the village to spread
the alarm. During his absence
Tabor's troubles increased. The
bear, determin att )n in his eye, reared
up on the fence and had not Tabor
" ith skillful thrusts of a fork kept
him at bay would have hugged his
antagonist without ceremony. His
angry growles increased and his upper
lip was raised in genuine bear fashion
but Tabor was brave man and with
dextrous thrusts managed to keep the
fence between himself and his hostile
visitor until help arrived.
Abe Wood with string Of followers
came post haste from the village to
join in the battle. Though ready to
meet anyone in single combat an en-
tire community was more than bruin
relished. lie was quickly dispatched

band. By rising vote an invitation
was accepted to visit the members of
the North Freedom lodge in about two
weeks.

houses in Baraboo having been estab-
1lished in 1874. Mr.. Marriott'S career
has been an interesting one He COM
menced his trade as a cobbler in Bara-
boo in 1872 for the Gibson & Dlbble
Shoe Co, in the store which is now
occupied by the Garner Millinery co.
Later the firm changed its business
location TO the Mills block and then to
a wooden building where the First
National Bank now stands. Az that
time Mr.. Marriott not only mended
shoes but he also made them by hand.
In 1875 he bought out the Gibson &
Dibble Co. and in 1875 he started in
usiness in the store on Third street
where he has remained ever since.
Seven years ago he took his son, Will
liam H. Marriott, as partner in busi-
ness with him. The firm has been very
successful and Mr.. Marriott on retiring
states that he feels very grateful TO the
people of Baraboo for their support.
Mr.. Marriott says th~ past year has

had, the firm having done $2l00 worth

Sauk County Traveller Tells
of Hunting in the Far
North.
KILLS A LARGE GRIZZLY
Snow Is twenty-five Feet
Deep and The Days
Are Short.

The Spring Green News publishes
following extract from a letter written
by F. J. Stewart to his niece, Mrs.
Louise Peterson. Mr.. Stewart is son
of one of the pioneers of the town of
Troy. The letter is dated at Wrangel,
Alaska, December IA, and reads as
follows:
You spoke of the boys fishing. You
should see the fish here. | have setn
them so thick in the creeks that you
could not wade across where the water
was two or three feet deep. They were
so thick that if one were to take thin
flat stone like the hand and drop it
on them fiat wise il could not sink for
some time. They would carry it along
on their backs until it got edgewise.
People here sometimes take $4,000 or
10000 out of net at once. just think
of it; more than a carload, all salmon
weighing from pounds to 80 or go
pounds apiece! 1t is only In the creeks
and rivers, where they go up out Of the
ocean to spawn, that they get so thick.
None of them ever get back to the
ocean alive, for they all die after
spawning.

by the excited men who then pro.
cceded to remove the heavy black
coat as a trophy of value. Wood as.
sisted in the operation and when i
was completed to the surprise of all
present carefully folded the skin and
marched off with it on his shoulder in
the direction of the SteinmetZ &
Fief tavern where he had stopped
earlier in the day for the pur-
pose of refiiling his demijohn.
Like Wood, Tabor was large man
and the sight of Wood carrying of
the spoils of war in unceremonious
fashion weighed on his mind. The
longer he thought the more thorough
ly he became convinced that the bear
skin was rightful,y his, and not
Woods.
Not long after, following the foot
steps of Wood, he reached the tavern.
He entered the door and his rowing
eyes quickly espied the coveted hide
which lay on the floor nearby where
Wood had placed it. Slowly he walk
ed toward 1t and before the surprised
spectators fully realized what he was
about, spread the skin upon the floor
and boldly stepping upon 1t cried out:
"If any man here has a better claim
to this hide than [ have let him take
it, AS he stood there with folded
arms deliantly waiting for possible
claiment, the little circle about him
widened, Less provocation had fre-
quently brought on a hand to hand
encounter between hot headed
frontiersmen. But this time the little
company was doomed to dlsappoint-
ment. Abe Wood looking neither to
the right or left sat motionless and
presently, no one disputing the right
of the doughty Tabor to his bear skin,
that gentleman folded his property
and walked away with it in triumph.
It was never known what restraining
influence prevented Wood from in
dulging in a fight on this occasion.
