Thrilling Narrative Told by Two
Boys.
BRUIN MAKES ESCAPE

Youths, and in Melee Bear Makes
Escape and Gets Home to Wife.

Ashland, Ore-The most thrilling
bear story that has leaked out in
/ Southern Oregon for some time comes
from Jack Bailey and Fred Dodge. It
| Is so remarkable that the boys insist
| on changing Jacks name to Davy
! Crockett and Fred's name to Kit Car
son.
Jack and Fred heard that bear was
devastating the country over near
Gregory and snorting for a fight they
went over to see about It, The snow
was nine feet deep On the level" and
four feet deep on the dead, so the boys
LOOKS their snOwshOes along together
with guns and axes and chewing to-
DaccO and grub.
They found the bears trail all right
and followed it in the soft snow for
eighty rods. Suddenly 1t disappeared
no bear, no trail. no cave, no hollow
log, no nothing. The trail apparently
ended in deep snow. Apparently the
bear was travelling by airship or had
drowned in the snow and sunk.
Just about that time Fred noticed
that there was a hole in the snow
where new trail began. With fear
and trembling and both guns at full
cock they got down and looked into
The hole 1t led into a tunnel in the
snow that ran back under a lot OF
bushes which held the heavy layer of
snow off the ground
after consultation the boys figured
that as the trail appeared at both ends
OF the tunnel the bear probably wasn't
in 1t. and they moved on along the gut
ter In the snow for another half mile.
Here they found another tunnel en- |
trance into which the trail disappear-
ed. They searched for half a day. but
found no outlet or other end TO this
tunnel.
The boys drew straws to see which
should crawl into the tunnel and scare
the bear out The lot fell to Fred and
he prepared for the job Laying of
his snowshoes and clinging his trusty
bowie knife in his best set of teeth
ne entered the tunnel Jack took up
his station on a slight rise of ground
beside a small fir tree and kept
sharp lookout for the bear to come
