Il never knew Henner to be EN-

would say: Allow me, just one sec

"And before the victim had time t.
move he would press down his hairy

BEARS IN FIGHT TO DEATH
Wyoming Hunter Tells How he
Started Fierce Fight Between
Two Enormous Grizzlies.

A Wyoming man gives a graphic
account of battle to the death be-
tween two bears. which a shot from
his rifle had caused to attack each
other. Il was out after elk and
discovered the two bears a long way
off, digging in rotten down timber for
grubs. | dlsmounted from my pony.
and. making a wide detour, came up
behind the bears and got within easy
range without being winded or dis
covered by them. Taking good aim
at one of the grizzlies | fired. The
bullet tumbled him over, but he was
on his feet again almost Immediately.
The other bear had stopped its
grubbing when this one fell and
turned and stared at 1t in surprise.
The wounded bear glared at It's com
panion a moment and then appar-
emily made up It's mind that its com
panion had knocked 1t down, for II
pitched into that bear with a fierce
ness that plainly meant business. and
instantly a battle was on. The bears
clinched and bit and raked one an
other with their claws. In q very
short time their tough hides were
hanging In strips on their huge bodies
and the bears were drenched with
blood. | never saw nor expect again
to see such q sight. 1t was fearful
The grizzlies fought for at least ten
minutes, and then the one had shot
failed to get up after being hurled
to the ground by its antagonist, and
the latter stood over its PROSTATE foe
and tore him with his paws until II
had disemboweled him.
Then the victor, growing and
gnashing IT'S teeth, moved away few
steps, staggered like drunken per
son and fell to the ground. 1t tried
to get up, but could not. | crept
cautiously to the spot, fearing that the
bear might still have enough vitality
to make 1t lively when 1t discovered
me, but my caution was not called
for. The grizzly was as dead as his
rival. Those two bears were the
most prodigious specimens of theii
kind | had ever seen, but they were
literally torn to pieces. There was
not whole piece of skin or flesh OF
either of them as big as my hat"
