story or good joke, report it.
On Monday of last week Fred Evans
shot and killed big black bear weigh
ing approximately 500 pounds, ten
miles from the city on big Mosier
creek. He had gone out with his dogs,
and after the dogs scented and shifted
the air, he first loosened the Airdale.
The dog chased the bear and received
several hard cuffs. The hound was
also boxed viciously by the black bruin.
When Mr.. Evans reached the place
where the dogs had the bear at bay,
the bear on seeing Mr.. Evans, charged
him. He fired one shot but the bear
kept on coming. When within few
feet of the hunter, the enraged animal
was shot again between the eyes,
whereupon Mr. Evans lodged behind
tree. The bear fell dead in the spot
where he had fired at him but NOM
ent before.
1t was necessary to return home for
help to bring the carcass. The meat
had spoiled, although it was brought
home on pack horses. The hide was
bought by c. S. Heath, fatherin-law
of r. J. Taylor, who sent it to Colo
rado firm to be dressed. - M0sier Bulle-

Last week, while hunting for deer in
the vicinity of Indian mountain which
lies west of the lake branch of Hood
River, Geo. Chamberlain killed a black
bear. He, with Chas. and Frank Ben
nett, had been following deer signs,
when a loud crash was heard in the
brush nearby. The bear soon came
out into the open, and Mr.. Chamber
lain dropped him with the first shot.
Part of the meat was brought home,
and he intends to tan the hide for his
own use. -Mosier Bulletin.
George Huskey, of Mosier. while in
the range of hills dividing the Mosier
district from Hood River last week,
ran into a huge cougar. MIR. Huskey
says he was not over 20 feet from the
big animal, when he heard its warning

backed out of that place, and the cat
did likewise, he says. ''lf | had had
my gun | could easily have shot the
fellow"
