Big Creek. Reinforced with eight
dogs, four OF which were Airedales
and others mixtures, they took the
trail of the Bruins and, after the
hardest kind Of work. succeeded in
bringing down four of the shaggy
brutes The biggest of the burch
shot only a short distance from
camp by Asa Thomson after being out
of cover by the trailing party
The three hunters were joined by
John Miller OF Pilot Rock and were
also accompanied by a man who
handled the dogs. Because of their
proneness to take a deer trail, the
dogs were kept in leash until they
got on the hot scent of a bear At
times they worked well and were not
averse to battling the bruin when the
quarry was run down.
Two Of the hides was brought in
