occurred on a recent hunting ex-

could intervene and get shot at
the bear without endangering his
life, Eheler was tossed about like a
rag doll, and was just about as
helpless. The muscles Of his right
arm were torn away from the bone,
his right hand was chewed as was
his left arm, both legs and other
parts of his body. One claw swipe
half scalped him and several deep
teeth wounds penetrated the back
of his neck, but Mr.. Eheler, after
being literally sewed back togeth-

A convincing picture of what
Minnesota has to offer the tourists
was provided by the state tourist
bureau at six travel and sports
shows held in 1910 in principal
population centers in the middle
west. More than 100000 pros
pective tourists viewed exhibits of
both live and mounted specimens
of the states wild game life, and
illuminated panoramas of scenic
beauty spots, lakes and streams,
typical resorts, as we'll as points of
interest in connection with the
states industrial and civic develop
ment.
Minnesota will have exhibits at
eight travel and sports shows in
1911, to be held at st. Louis, Chi
cago, Des Moines, Cincinnati, Mil
waukee and Minneapolis. A feature
of the exhibits will be what is
claimed to be the largest and most
elaborate illuminated panorama
ever devised, picturing in natural
colors the wild game life and scenic
beauties of the state.
