Every day that he felt especially strong he would go out with his dogs ‘and his boys, and, treeing a bear, would “i him down and fight him.

The animal got 1ts paws around Ephraim, and they fought, 1olling in every direction, until it was almost im possible to distinguish man froth beast in the cicud.
