Five men who have grown up with
the far west from the days of the pio
neers were seated around a table in
the Hoffman cafe telling stories of
their adventures in the days when
they fought Indians and grizzlies at
every step they advanced toward the
Golden Gate.
44 1 had some pretty close calls in tho
old days fighting Indians and bears
single-handed, 1 ' said Col. Burrows, of
Montana, "but once I was cornered by
a grizzly, a centipede ami a Crow In
dian, and getting out of that corner I
had the closest shave of my life, I
guess. I was prospecting along tho
foot of the one summer away
back in the days when all the Indians
that wore not on tho warpath were
ready to scalp any white man who fell
into their hands. There were plenty
of l>cars around, too, and as a rule
none of the inon in our party \vcnt
very far from camp alone,
"One morning I started out to follow
up a small ravine that I had discovered
the day before and along the banks of
which wore some scant outcroppings
of silver. I got so interested in exam
ining specimens of rock that I pushed
011, quite forgetful of time and dis
tance until a feeling of emptiness of
my stomach warned mo that it was
noon. Then I made a note of my sur
roundings, and found that I was fully
ten miles from camp. I was on the
bank of the ravine which was more
than one hundred feet deep at that
point. All around there was a sort of
stunted half-grown forest with plenty
of rocks and # small caves—splendid
hiding places for bears and Indians. I
looked around very carefully and,
seeing no sign of an enemy, I decided
to cat the cold dinner I had brought
with me before starting back to camp.
44 1t was a hot day, and when I had
finished my dinner I was sleepy. I
lay down in the shade of a tree to take
a short nap, knowing that I would
wake up In less than an hour which
would give me plenty of time to get
to camp before dark. I took off my
coat and put it under my head, rolled
up the sleeves of my flannel shirt and
made myself as comfortable as possi
ble. I had been asleep probably fif
teen minutes when a peculiar tickling
sensation on my right arm caused ine
to awake suddenly. Fortunately for
me, I did not spring up with a start.
'•Opening mj f eyes, I looked first at
my arm where I had felt the tickling.
As I did so my heart stopped beating
for a minute, it seemed to me, and I
felt a cold sweat starting out at every
pour. Half-way up my arin I saw a
full-grown centipede crawling around
on the bare flesh. He was very wide
awake, and it was evident that he was
there for business. The slightest
move on my part would be the signing
of my death warrant
"I could sec the venomous insect
without even turning my eyeballs, and
1 lay perfectly still. How 1 did it I
don't know. It seemed to me that
there was a ton of weight on my chest
I GAVE MYSELF UP FOR GOOD.
holding me down, and although it was
a scorching hot day, I was soon as
cold as if I had been lying in an ice
box.' The centipede would crawl up
my arm to where my shirt sleeve was
rolled up, then crawl all around tho
arm, back to the wrist, and then up
again. He must have made the cir
cuit twenty times, and the strain on
my nerves was telling on me fast. It
peemed to me that it had been hours
since 1 awoke, and I knew that I could
not stand the strain much longer.
"Suddenly a new danger appeared
before my staring eyes. I heard a
rustling of leaves, and a moment later a
huge brown bear, gaunt and hungry
looking, walked out of the bushes and
came straight toward me. My rifle
was lying on the ground within easy
reach of my right hand, but to move
that arm ever so little would invite the
deadly sting of the centipede on tho
instant, and the bear was so close It
was doubtful if I could get a shot at
him anyway.
"Then I gave myself up for good,
ar.d half closing my eyes I tried to
think of a prayer to say. The bear
v/alked straight up to me, and begin
ning at my feet began to smell and
push me with his nose. The centipede
saw the bear coming, and crawled
around on tlio under aide of my arm
and stopped. Every instant I expected
to feel the sharp sting- of the insect,
and I was trying to nerve myself up
and let the bear finish me in short
order, rather than suffer the torture of
the slower death.
"But the bear looked me over,
pushed my arms and legs about and
licked my face; still the centipede did
not move. The bear stood there for
several minutes, it seemed to me, but
at last appeared to make up his mind
that I was dead and he would leave
me to the coyotes. Then he turned
and lumbered off in the same direction
front which he had come.
"But the deadly centipede was still
on my arm, and by this time I was so
weak as to be in danger of rolling
over in utter collapse. Then a sudden
warning of a new danger gave my
nerves another shock.
"The bear had gone less than fifty
feet away when I heard the sharp
crack of a rifle on the other side of
me. heard the hiss of a bullet as it
flew over me and saw a bunch of fur
fly from the side of the bear. The ani
mal had been hit just baelt of tho left
shoulder, but- the bullet did not even
knock him down. With a growl of
rage the big shaggy monster turned
and came toward me with a rush.
"I was certain that the shot had
been fired by an Indian, and if there
was any faint hope of escape lingering
in my breast before, it rapidly van
ished. The centipede had been startled
by the shot and was now running
down my bare arm. There 1 was, with
the deadly insect on my bare flesh, an
enraged and wounded bear coming at
me from one side, and an Indian on
the other side of me ready to shoot me
down the moment I raised, my head.
"I quickly made up my mind that if
my time had come I had rather be shot
by the Indian or torn to pieces by the
bear than to l>e stung to death by the
centipede. With a bound I sprang to
my feet, and to my intense relief the
centipede dropped from my arm to the
ground without stinging me. But I
I HAD DH4.WN MY KNIFE.
forgot to grab my gun as I rose, and
when I got on my feet the bear was so
close I did not have time to stoop and
get it. Iu fact, it was only by a quick
leap to one 6ide that 1 escaped the
clutch of the grizzly as he rose on his
hind feet and made a lunge at me with
paws outstretched and mouth wide
open.
"As I leaped aside and faced about I
caught sight of the painted face of a
murderous-looking Crow. Indian who
stood, rifle in hand, not less than thirty
yards away. The Indian was evident
ly not aware of my presence until I
jumped up from the ground, and had
his rifle raised for a shot at the bear.
He was so startled by my sudden ap
pearance that he lowered his rifle, and.
instead of taking a shot at me, ran
away as fast as he could go.
"I gave a sigh of relief now that I
had only one enemy to fight instead of
three. But I was uot yet out of dan
ger by any means. The pain of his
wound made the bear frantic. Growl
ing furiously, he turned and made an
other rush for me. lie was now be
tween mo and my rifle, and my only
weapon was a long hunting knife
whieh I carried in my belt. Glancing
back over my shoulder for a second, I
discovered another and serious danger.
I was within twenty feet of the bank
of the ravine, which was directly be
hind me. A stumble or slip of tho foot
wojild carry me over the brink, which
meant a fall of one "hundred feet, to
strike on a mass of rock below.
"As the bear rushed at me the sec
ond time I again sprang to one sido
and escaped him by only a few inches.
I had drawn my knife, but I knew
that if I had closed with him he could
tear me to pieces before I could reach
a vital spot with such a weapon.
"As I dodged about a plan of escape
suddenly occurred to me. It was a
desperate chance, but iny situation
was desperate, and by this time it was
plain that the bullet from the gun of
the lndiun had not reached a vital
spot, and the bear was good for hours
of hard fighting yet.
"As I dodged übout to avoid the sav
age rushes of the animal 1 kept get
ting nearer the brink of the ravino.
Finally I stook on the very edge of it,
with the bear facing mc, twenty feet
away. Again lie rose on his hind feet
and came to me with a vicious growl.
I stood still until I could almost feel
his hot breath in ray face. Then duck
ing to avoid his outstretched forelegs
I sprang quickly to one side.
"My plan of escape was a success.
The momentum of tho big brute was
such that lid could not stop in time
and he plunged headlong over tho
bank and went tumbling to the bot
tom of the ravine. I heurd him strike
the rocks a hundred feet below with a
thud, and then as I realized that 1 was
safe I dropped to the ground as limp
as a wet rag. 1 was as weak as a baby
from the effects of the strain on my
nerves, and it was nearly an hour be
fore I was strong enough to pick up
my rifle and start back to camp.
"With two of my companions to help
me I went up the ravine the next day
and secured the hide of the bear."—

THE GRIZZLY'S PLUCK.
He Can Do Plenty of Damage When He
Is " Nominally Dead."
Personally I have more respect for
his majesty, tho grizzly bear, than for
any other animal I ever trailed, tho
tiger not excepted, writes W. T. I lorna
day in an article on the bears of North
America in St. Nicholas. It is quite
true that many an able-bodied grizzly
is caught napping and killed "dead
easy," as the baseball language says,
but so are big tigers also, for that mat
ter. In fact, I know of one large tiger
weighing within five pounds of five
hundred, who was promptly laid low
by two bullets from a mere pop-gun of
a rifle, and there was no fuss about it,
either.
It is easy enough to kill a grizzly at
a good snfe distance of a hundred yards
or so, which allows the hunter to fire
from three to six shots b3* the time the
teeth and claws get dangerously near.
But to attack a fully-grown and wide
awulco Ursus horribilis in brushy
ground at twenty or thirty yards' dis
tance is no child's play. As an old
hunter once quaintly expressed it to
me; 44 A grizzly bar'll git up an 1 come
at ye with blood in his eye after lie's
nominally dead!" Tho point of it is,
this bear is so big, and so enveloped in
long, shaggy hair, his head is so wedge
like, his strength and tenacity of life
so great, and his rage when wounded
so furious that at that short range he
is hard to kill quickly, and kill so
dead that he cannot get a blow at the
hunter.
The strength in a grizzly's arm is
tremendous, and when the blow comes
accompanied with claws five or six
inches long, like so many hooks of
steel on a sledge-hammer, it tears to
shreds what it fails to crush. There
are many authentic instances on rec
ord of hunters and trappers who have
been killed by grizzly bears, and I be
lieve it could be proved that this ani
mal has killed more men than all the
other wild animals in North America
combined, excepting tho skunks and
their rabies.
In the days of the early pioneers, the
only rifles used were the muzzle-load
ing, hair-trigger squirrel-rifles of small
caliber, and tbey were no match for
the burly grizzly, cither in speed or
strength. As a result, bruin had the
est bof it, and in time brought about a

perfect reign of terror among tho
frontiersmen who trespassed upon his
domain. For my part, I certainly
would not wunt to attack a big grizzly
at short range with my father's old
Kentucky rille of 32 calilxf, unless I
had mv will made, and all my earthly
affairs in shape to be left for a long pe
riod. But with the rise of the breech
loader the tables turned; and, like all
other dangerous animals, tho grizzly
soon found that the odds were.against
him. To l)e sure, he kills his hunter
now and then, sometimes by one awful
stroke of his paw, and sometimes by
biting bis victim to death. But lie has
almost ceased to attack men wilfully
and without cause, as he once did. Un
less he is wounded or cornered, or
thinks he is cornered and about to bo
attacked, he will generally run when
ever he discovers a man. But when ho
is attacked, and especially if wounded,
he gets mad clean through. Then ho
will fight anything, even a circular
saw, so it is said, and give it five turns
the start.

An oft-rcpoated dream;

Three dollars for Ice eroam;
Ho nover, when a littlo boy,
By grown-up girls was kissed;
Aud whon he died ho never know
What fun that ho had missed.
Ho never wont security
And had tho note to pay;
Ho never saw his bank's cashier
Steal gracefully away;
In all his llfo ho never by
A mother-in-law was kissed;
But why go on and 'numorato
The fun that Adam missed ?
Perhaps, If ho wero living now-
But then why spoculatof—
Ho'd be too old and not inclined
To play with flcklo fato.
For conturies tho wanton winds
His unknown grave havo blessed;
Porhups ho sleeps tho better for
