Spokane, Wash. —A mother benr
with a Hat Nelson battle gleam in
her eye and an Ad Wolgast lighting
crouch, and her two little cubs, held
up Uncle Sam's mail in the rorvl be
tween Sandy and Marmot and gave
C. M. Tlailey, rural mail carrier on
the route, the time of his life when

i haunches in the middle of the road in
i a distinctly belligerent attitude, her
! cubs frisking about her. Bailey was
so surprised that he pulled up his
horses and waited for developments.
He didn't have to wait very long
i With a growl and a flourish of her
| forepaws, the bear made lor the mail
carrier, the cubs waddling along
after her on all fours. Hailey's horse
: snorted in terror at this unexpected
move by Mother Bruin, and whirled
| about in the road so sharply that the
I wagon was upset and the mail and
I mail carrier spilled out in the dust.
As Bailey picked himself up he
\ pulled his automatic revolver out of
1 his pocket and fired at the bear.
| which was almost on him. The bullet
j went true, and she rolled over in the
| road, snarling and clawing. She
seemed to have enough of battle, for
' the next minute she picked herself
| up and scampered off into the woods
I with the cubs, leaving a trail of blood
, behind her.
As soon as the shaken Mailey could
! collect himself, he caught his horses,
which had stopi>ed after running a
short distance down the road, and,
i with the aid of a party of aiftoists
that came along soon after he righted
his wagon and hitched up.
