him just below the eye. Then Bettis
and Marsh both gave him a jolt which
put on the finishing touches. 1t took
twenty minutes to extricate the bear
from his den.
The big fellow was about three

The men spotted another bear about
thirty or forty yards away. but it was
so dark that they did not attempt to
capture him. although the dogs, whose
thirst for blood was not to be salts

The one that was captured made
