Ralph b. F'ieharty, peoples coun

The commission, after hearing al

COWBOY ROUT5
BLACK BEAR
WITH CLUB

GLACIER PARK. Mont, Feb =
Mike shannon, veteran Glacier Park
cowboy guide. relates an incident
illustrating the real respect that
Westerners have for a grizzly bear
and their utter disregard for the
black species of the family He
says:
'Rattlesnake Slim was one OIL
our outfit. The name originally in
tended for him by his parents had
long since been lost for all save
legal purposes. He won his cogno-
men from two characteristics. First,
the cowboy build which he possessed
to an unusual degree, six feet two,
and with no more hips than rat
tlesnake, and, second, his sudden
and unprecedented way of doing
the most reckless thing that came
into his head, just like a rattle
snake.
"On the occasion l recite Slim
and half dozen guides had started
from the chalets in Granite Park
for a place several hundred yards
up the mountain, where they rolled
their beds under some scrub near
the corral. The night was dark ex-
cept for stars, and half way up the
trail Slim, who was in the lead,
suddenly noticed an unusually large
bear directly ahead.
Well. boys, il it's a grizzly he
holds the trail he volunteered, as
he advanced to within 10 feet of
the animal The rest of the guides
were following cautiously. They
were all prepared to make hasty
detour, for the bristles rose on the
bears neck as 1t turned to meet
them. But Slim felt around on the
ground until he picked up a good
sized limb of fir tree, and with a
wild yell, It's only black bear,
can't go round" he charged the
beast, hitting 1t two.handed
whack across the shoulders.
Slim was right. 1t was only q
black bear. The frightened animal
fairly tore up all the trees on the
side of the mountain in making its
getaway"
