hunters are therefore bent ON their
first actual bear hunt.
GAME PLENTIFUL.
Down in the Carmel NJ untains-
or rather, up in them-bear and deer
and Mexican lions are plentiful; al
most too plentiful for the peace OF
mind Of people who want to live to
a ripe old age.
Martin Wright, just returned from
a hunt in the North woods, in Canada,
says that bears and lions and other
so-called ferocious animals aren't
really dangerous unless they are
wounded or in corner. A bear
hunt in Mexico holds no fears for
him.
"Texas rattlesnakes are more dan
gcrous than BEARS" Mr.. Wright said.
TWO WEEKS ON TRIP.
The Wrights plan to spend two
weeks in the mountains, with only
camp cook and one other helper in
the party. They will camp in a tent.
despite the winter weather that is
chilling the peaks now. 1t is their
plan to hunt bears on horseback. They
will leave San Antonio Monday.
Fishermen and hunters of mere
civilized game had better prepare to

FIRST REAL HUNT.
Fifty years ago the fathers of the
two Wrishts-Phil and Wilfred
Wright-hunted bears in the hills of
West Texas. On their last hunt they
killed is bears, at San Antonio's back

Now the sons of these pioneers are
going on their first real bear hunt, in
the wilds Of Mexico-for the bear
frontier has moved $50 miles west in
those 80 years.
Though Ma-.in Wright is consid-
cred a big game hunter. having bag
ged most everything there is to kill
IN this country, he has killed only one
bear during his experience as a
hunter-and it was a Texas bruin.
