4 BEAR FIGHT ALMOST
 TO THE DEATH

"Once we saw Ivan light, with a. bear of his own size lat that tine1 ." writes pr. Wiiarn T. Hornaday Il an article on ''The Alaskan Brown Bear," published in the November Boys Life. Tt was a fearsOme sight It came about through a n,ix-Up If cage mates. can not recall why a change was made. but at all events the female cage mate of Admiral - another big Alaskan brown bear abiding in the adjoining cage was temporarily shifted from him into Ivan's den.
 Admiral felt that that was not a square deal and it made him furious At once he set to work to tear his way through the steel partition and get into Ivan's cage. I reached the scene while he was in the very act of fin ishIng the job.
 The partition was made of flat steel bars, woven closely together in 6 basket pattern. and set into heavy steel frames that were boIted into place. The ends of the flat bars were fastened by bending them over while hot; and everybody was quite sure that those panels weres trCng enough to hold elephants.

Admiral went to work with his great strength and his enormous claws to pull one of those foven bar panels out of it's frame, and thus make a hole in the partition that~would let him through It seems impossible; but he did it! He did what a. steam roller could not have done. I saw him finish tearing that steel basket work out; of it's frame, smash it down and rush over it through the openiny and into the next den.
 And then in an instant Admiral and Ivan were in combat.
 At that time those two bears were of the same size and weight, and evenly matched. They fought strictly head to head, and mouth to mouth. Not once did. either of the fighters swerve by foot and expose his body

 And then the keepers had their
 chance. Carrying their arms full of hickory pick handles, each one weigh ing about five pounds, they slipped in at the front gate and took positions. They yelled at those bears as if they meant to tear them to pieces, and they slammed those pick-handler into them until they won. The hickory hurricane was too much to endure, and the bears let go and fell apart. Then all attention---and pick-hand1es was concentrated on Admiral. who
