THE LAST GRIZZLY
 OF THE SYCAMORE
Continued from page one)

HULL pdSO
 the canyon, I heard a bear cub squeal. I knew I was near the old bears den. You always want to get on the uphill side of grizzly so as toshave several shots while he IS charging up hill at you. If the grizzly is above you, you'll probab- ly get only one shot while he is charging down hill at you. One shot will not stop him.
 So I started around the thick mazanita to get on higher ground and when 1 looked over the rim of the canyon I saw cubs playing and running out of and into a hole in the wall nearly 100 feet below me. l new the old bear was inside and I clucked two or three times to call her attention. I got it. She inn mediately poked her head out of the hole and I took a shot at it. l meant to hit her between the eyes but shooting down I went below and hit her nose. You see, you want to shoot a little low when close. but shooting down as I dld I was deceived. I think refraction did it.
 The old bear came charging out of her den in frightful rage. She wanted to find the cause of the trouble and she started down the canyon, scattering rocks and break ing down the brush. I gave her another shot, hitting her in the side and piercing her heart, as I afterwards learned. She kept on until she heard cub cry and then she came charging back like whirlwind. I had worked my way little lower and as she passed me I fired again and broke her back. She died quickly and I don't think she knew what had disturbed her. There was nothing for it but to kill her three cubs and that I did.
 The old bear was very fat and the cubs were too, and I got several hundred pounds of meat and I lat ter sold the old bears skin for $2O0 A tourist took notion to it and paid my price without murmur.
 Old bear hunters estimate a grizzly's life at 50 to 60 years. The worn condition of this old she bears's tushes proved to me that she was pretty old, probably not less than 30 years old.
 Of course the three cubs meant that He bear had been in that country two or three years before, but l never saw him or his sign and l have reason to believe that I killed the last grizzly of the Syca- moro
