THE FRIENDLY BROWN BEAR.

The Alaska brown bear has again demonstrated its capacity to take human life, and its readiness to do so In an attack by one Of them on Depuy Marshal Sullivan brought here this week for treat ment it lived up to all that has been said ol It,. True the bear in this instance was a wounded animal But it had been wounded hours before and was clearly not making any effort to escape further pursuit from the hunters but was rather on the lookout for chance to avenge itself on it's attackers.
 It happens that the officer was one of the party originally shooting the animal That IS mere ly circumstance something that the bear, unless he reasons with human effectiveness could not nave known Anyone else in Sullvans stead, who hap pened on the animal that morning would nave been attacked just readily and just as Wclously
 AS depicted by most of his defenders, that bear after it was wounded should have retreateo lnto the back country where it could hide and recup- crate And after he had recovered and was out again harmlessly pursuing its usual course of eat ing a vegetable diet, with salmon interude on occasion it should become its normal self again if not playful and friendly, at least not dangerous to mankind unless cornered and forced to fight in self defense.
 That view of the brown bear is, of course, all bosh It sounds well enough to bolster up weak conservatory theory but in practice it seldom ever works out MT Sullivans experience proves thai fact The bear had hours to make it's escape if Il desired to do so an entire night in which man wal not around to molest it. It chose to stand it. ground and attack That it did not seriously il not fatally wound it's victim is almost entirely due to the near proximity of MT.
