MADDENED THE BEAR.
Ingenious Trap That Was Formerly
Used by the Mexicans,

The MeNcans in California had an
ingenious method of trapping bears
before the advent of the Yankees
brought modern firearms into the re-
gion. A piece of meat was nailed to
the stout horizontal limb Of an oak
tree. From a limb five or six feet
above a rope was suspended. to the
end of which large stone was made
fast SO that it hung about six inches
above and a tri1e nearer the trunk
than the meat on the lower limb.
When a bear smelled the meat from
afar he would climb up the tree and
make his way to the bait In doing
so he would push the stone pendulum
to one side. Just as he was about to
fasten his teeth in the meat the stone
would swing back and bang his head
This would arouse the anger of the
bear. and he would give the stone
sweep of his paw which would send
it swinging farther out. The conse-
quence was a harder bang and more
anger. The more he struck the stone
the harder he would be hit in return
until from ferocious anger he would
lose his caution and attack the pendu.
lum with all his vigor One powerful
sweep, then bang. and bruip would be
tumbled out Of the tree to the rocks
below. where. disabled by his fall. he
would be at the mercy Of those who
set the trap whenever they chose to
take him.

After examining it the shopman said:
