head. The tracks indicated that the bear had run off after thus mutilating the body. In addition to these injuries it was found that Meany's right hand had been cut by the bear, his left arm had been broken, and there were several bruises on the chest and ab- domen.
 That the huge silver-tip was hungry was evidenced by the fact that be- tween the time of the encounter with Meany and the arrival of the police officer it had made two attempts at returning to the carcass of the moose, but with the fear of wild animals for human remains, had retreated before coming up to them.
 The axe used by Meany in his bat tie with the bear was found a short distance from the body. It was blood stained and there were a number of short hairs attaching to it, and from differences in the tracks made by the bear it is thought Meany severed three of the claws from the bears left front foot

RECORD OF FIGHT
 WITH B|G GRIZZLY
 FOUND BY M0UNTY
PRINCE GEORGE TRAPPER MADE GALLANT DEFENSE; FACE
 WAS TORN AWAY
BATTLES BEAR WITH AN AXE
Huge SiIver-tip Victor in Unequal Battle; One Blow Killed
 Meaney

PRINCE GEORGE, June IS, (P.- Provincial Constable Muirhead return ed to the city on Saturday following a two-week trip into the Herrick Riv- CT district to investigate the circum- stances connected with the death of Thomas Meaney, the trapper who was reported to have been killed by sil- ver-tip on March 24 The scene of the fatality was on the Herrick river about seventy miles from it's conf1u- ence with the McGregor. Dome Creek is used by the trappers in this section as their outfitting point, and it means a trip of 100 miles.
 There were no witnesses to the duel which Meaney fought with the huge silver-tip, but the record of the fight was left in the dearest manner in the snow. Meaney left the tent camp, which he and Jack Yarzeau occupied at o'clock in the morning of March 24. His mission was to look over some traps in the vicinity some of which were close to a moose carcass
 
 winch was being used for food and bait. No returning, Yarzeau start ed out to look for him on the following morning, and came upon his mutilat- ed body not far from the moose car cass.
 From the tracks left upon the snow the police officer had little difficulty in piecing together the story of the tragedy. The bear, which was an un- usually large silver-tip, had approach ed the carcass from a direction oppo- site to that taken by Meany, the tracks of it's hind feet measuring fourteen inches long by eight inches wide. The snow record showed that Meany had got within seventy feet of the moose carcass when he gave battle with three-pound axe. The bear had evi- dently seen Meany before he saw the bear, and came on the run from the carcass in Meanys direction. Within three or four feet from the point where Meany had taken his last stand the bear reared up on his hind legs and commenced the fight Within circle of eighteen inches the snow was firmly tramped by Meany, as he attempted to fight the bear off with the axe. There was but one imprint which showed the trapper had been forced out of his little circle and this was probably made when the bear landed the blow which knocked him over and killed him. This blow landed on the bridge of the nose, tearing it and the upper jaw away. From the markings in the snow the bear then jumped upon the body, pressing it deeply in the snow. With another stroke of one of its fore paws it tore off the front of the skull, and another blow ripped away the scalp from the rear of the
