Amazing Adventures of Hugh Glass; Victim of Fight
With Grizzly that Became Classic of Western Frontiers

utmost effort he managed to pick
enough berries and cherries to keep
from starving. Gradually he nurs-
ed back his strength until he at
first could crawl and then walk.
His plan was a sufficiently desper-
ate one, but offered the only chance
for life. 1t was to strike out for
Fort Kiowa, a trading post on the
Missouri a hundred miles away.
With hardly strength enough to
drag one leg after the other, with
no provisions or means of obtain
ing any, in a hostile Indian coun-
try, he started. Upheld only by
the deep-set purpose of living to
hunt out the men who had deserted
him, he made mile after painful
mile.
Suffering from Terrible Injuries
Walks 100 Miles for Revenge
One evening he came upon a
pack of wolves that had surround
ed a buffalo calf and were attack
ing it. Glass waited until it was
dead, and then shouted and brand
ished a stick, frightening the ami
mails away. He had no knife and
no fire, but he managed to tear off
enough meat from the calf to make
a meal, and eating sparingly, it
gave him strength. When he felt
able to go forward, he took as
much meat as he could carry, and
finally, after hardships and distress
incredible, reached Fort Kiowa,
where he rested for a few days.
Before he was again in fit condi-
ton to travel, and with some of
his wounds still in bad shape, he
had an opportunity to join a party
of trappers bound for the Yellow
stone and seized it eagerly. He
was willing to retrace his steps into
the wilderness to the west on the
chance of meeting Henry's party
and the intended victims Of his re-
venge.
Again fate played a strange
trick. When the party were near
ing the Mandan villages on the
Missouri, Glass decided that he
could save some time by going
overland across a big bend in the
river to Tilton's Fort, a trading
post. Still possessed of the one
overwhelming desire for revenge,
he struck out alone. By doing so
he saved his life once more, for
the next day the Aricara Indians
attacked the party he had left and
killed every man.
AS Glass neared Tilton's Fort,
he saw two squaws in the brush
and recognized them as Aricaras
He tried to hide, but too late, for
he women had seen him and at
)nce notified their men, who start
d after him. Still feeble from his
INJURIES, he made little speed, and
ust as the Aricara warriors were
within gunshot of him and
lie had given himself up for lost
gain, he was overjoyed and as
onished to see two mounted In
.ians of the friendly Mandan tribe
iding toward him. They seized
i'm and carried him to the fort. I
he same night he set out once
1ore up the river. After travelling &
for t%hirty-eight days he at :
arrived at Henry's Fort, !,
ear the mouth of the Big Horn |
liver, on the Yellowstone. The
mazement that his appearance oc- c
asioned may be imagined, as it
as thought he was dead and had
cen in his grave for weeks. He

Rocky Mountains is the grizz-
ly bear. While seldom encoun-
tered today excepting in the remot-
est and most inaccessible Businesses
of the Rockies, this monarch of the
wilderness a century ago was the
n animal which hunters and trap
pers considered really dangerous
Grizzlies were called by the earlier
explorers white BEAR and many
were the narrow escapes related by
members of the Lewis and Clark
party and other frontlersmen who
were attacked by monsters of this
species and threatened with death
in a terrible form. There were few
among the mountain men who had
not had disastrous experiences with
them at one time or another.
The grizzly bear is distinguished
from other species of bear by a
number of marked characteristics,
such as facial profile, shape of n
terror claws, color of hair and its
lack of ability to climb trees. The
color varies greatly, but there is
usually enough white hair in its
fur to give it a grayish color. In
size the grizzly averages about six
feet in length from nose to tail tip,
although they have often been
found nine feet, and some have
measured as much as fourteen feet
in length. A grizzly usually weighs
about five hundred pounds, but of
course the larger specimens weigh
much more 1t is not only a most
powerful brute, but is extremely
tenacious of life. The male has the
reputation of not being pugnacious,
rarely attacking a man without
provocation, and even when wound
ed often attempting to escape until
brought to bay. The female, when
her cubs are small, is savage and
dangerous always. Either sex of
the grizzly, when thoroughly rous-
ed, shows terrible rage and
strength. Hunters have often no-'
ticed that when struck by a bullet,
a grizzly will start instantly in the
direction from which it comes
without waiting to see its enemy.
Shot Through Heart Often Will
Not Stop Rush of Grizzly Bear
At close quarters no living thing
can withstand a fighting grizzly.
Its attack is from a standing posi-
ton, first by a blow from its fore
foot, followed by crashing and
tearing with mouth and claws. An
old hunter gave this advice: Never
fire at a grizzly in a hurry. Never
be stampeded by a bears rush. 1t
will always stop, rise on its hind
legs and prepare to strike a side
long blow with its fore feet. At this
moment, when its head is extend
ed and in a position in which the
bullet will not glance, aim between
the eyes and fire and the bear will
fall dead. A shot through the heart
frequently will not stop a grizzly
Many a man has been killed and
horribly mangled by of these
brutes after it has been shot
through the heart. The only really
safe shot is between the eyes or be-
hind the ear. Either kills instant
ly."
The most notable story of an en- /;
counter between a white nan and a
grizzly was that of Hugh Glass.
Possibly this true tale, which was

SCIENTISTS CAN BUT GUESS
No Absolute Proof Can Be Brought AZ
to How Long Man Has Existed
on the Earth.

It is proved that man-true man
existed on this earth many, many
thousand years ago. How many no
one can certainly say, but certainly
longer than the period accepted as a
strict dogma by Bible Christians with
in living memory (and still affirmed
by some Of them) i It is not proved,
but it is highly probable that there Is
genetic connection between, man as
We know him and the earlier inferior
types Of which evidence remains. II q
critic were to maintain that man as
we know him rose suddenly from
some other type not yet found (for
the evidence is very fragmentary and
slightly, he would not be c0ntradicting
ascertained fact; on the contrary, he
has on his side the anomaly Of fine
skulls found in apparently very early
strata; all that department is quite
unfxed That man as we know him
was vile thing for countless gem
erations and gradually rose to prac-
tice the human virtues and intelli-
gence is not proved at all. There is
not an atom Of proof. Even the vague
analogy from existing savages fails.
Some savages are Of one character,
some Of another; all as old in descent
as ourselves. The excessive evil af-
f1rmed Of true man when first he could
be SO called is sheer unsupported af-
frhation proceeding not from evil
dence for we have none-but from q
mood, q desire that things should be
so.-Hillaire BelfDc, in the Yale Re
view. &
