Trail of Savage Creatures.
TREDERICK X. BURNHAM. the
noted sportsman and big game
hunter, returned to his home in
New York not long ago after a
trip around the world, fishing and
hunting, on which he was accompanied
by Mrs. Burnham. Among the trophies
brought back by them were the pelts
Of five bears killed by Burnham in the
Cassiar district Of British Columbia.
The story Of the killing Of the quintet
Of grizzlies, the largest ten feet n
inch long, is contained in afidavits Of
the Indian guides, Mrs. Burnham and
Burnham himself. The five were
brought down with seven shots in less
than two minutes, during which the
hunter was literally surrounded by
them.
10 Mrs. Burnham her husband gives
credit for discovering the bears on a
mountain top about five miles away
from where she had been hunting carl
bou. Mrs. Burnham is a crack shot
and was responsible for IN equal share
Of the game bagged on the trip.
Saw Bear Too Soon.
The next morning Burnham and
Little Dick" his Indian guide, start
ed out on the trail of the bears. They
caught up to them about noon Fol
lowed by the guide. Burnham Chamber
ed up the side Of a mountain on which
they sighted their quarry. They mis-
calculated the distance they were
away, however, and came upon them
unexpectedly.
Il had been crawling up behind some
fir bushes about four feet high and
was rising slowly to peer V the top
when, to my utter establishment, I saw
a big grizzly rising on his hind legs on
the other side of the line of bushes,''
said Burnham to a New York Ameri-
