When they came upon the bear Me Cracken told the Natives and the ruide not to shoot as he wanted to not the animal himself unless the bear charged and got dangerous. After the first shot the bear tried to make his getaway but another bullet brought him back up on a high olut from which he looked down on his pursuers. Mac then sent a bullet yight into his breast and could hear the ball crashing through. That was enough; Forward dashed the quarry towards the shooter and other shots failed to bring him down until he had covered about two-thirdS of the inter vening distance and was only some seventy paces away. Then did Me Cracken shout for his companions to shoot, he candidly admits, and the guns brought the giant down just in time.

RECORD BEAR
 CAME ON DORA
MAY BE LARGEST EVER KILLED IN THE WORLD, EX-
 PERTS BELIEVE.

What is probably the skull of tn! largest bear ever killed was brought down on the Dora this trip and H.. w. McCracken, who killed the brute, is about to investigate with a view to discovering if he is not the slayer of the biggest bear in all records. He shot the bear, one of the Kodiak brown variety, at King Cove. It was thought that the head measured twen- ty inches but Bill De Witt stated to- day that after measurement by more or less scientific methods the skull is found to be only something slightly over nineteen inches. The largest skin ever known to have been secur- ed was that which is now exhibited by L. l.. Bales at the San Diego Fair, but the skin secured by Mir. McCracken IS larger. Without being stretched the McCracken skin is over twelve feet Charley Emsweiler says that for such q head or skin as this there is a standing offer of a thousand dollars from some institution or another.
 Mir. McCracken had quite an ex- nerience in the killing of the gigantic beast which charged after having re- ceiyed few shots. The hunter was accompanied by couple of Natives
