How Roosevelt Kjilled the Huge GrizzlyBY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELTExtracts from "The Wilderness

Hunter," copyrighted 1893 by O. P.Putnam's Sons, New York and Lon-don.

Reproduced In this newspaper un-der special arrangements with O. P.Putnam's Sons.

A grizzly bear will only flght ifwounded or cornered, or, at least,

thinks himself cornered. Ifa inaTi by accident stumbles' ontoone close up, he Is almost cer-tain to be attacked, really morefrom fear than from any other mo-tive; exactly the same reason thatmakes a rattlesnake strike at apasser-by.

I have personally known of butone instance of a grizzly turningon a hunter before bing wounded.This happened to a friend of mine,a California ranchman, who, withtwo or three of his men, was fol-lowing a bear that had carried offone of his sheep.

They got the bear into a cleft inthe mountain from which there wasno escape, and he suddenly chargedback through the line of hispursuers, struck down one of theNorsemen, seized the arm of theman In his jaws and broke it as ifIt had been a pipe stem, and wasonly killed after a most lively fightan which, by repeated charges, heat one time drove every one of hisAssailants off the Held.

* * *

Early next morning we were overat the elk carcass, and as weexpected, found that the grizzly hadeaten his fill at It during the night.His tracks showed him to be anImmense fellow, and were so freshthat we doubted If he had leftlong before we arrived; and wemade up our minds to follow himup and try to find his lair. Thebears that lived on these moun-tains had evidently been little dis-turbed; indeed, the Indians andmost of the white hunters are rath-er chary of meddling with "OldKphraim," as the mountain menstyle the grizzly, unless they getbim at a disadvantage, for thesport Is fraught with some dangertand but small profit.

My companion was a skillfultracker and we took up the trail atonce. For some distance It ledover the soft, yielding carpet ofmoss and pine needles and thefoot prints were quite easily madeout, although we could follow thembut slowly; for we had, of course,to keep a sharp lookout ahead andaround us as we walked noiseless-ly on in the somber half-light al-ways prevailing under the greatpine trees.

We made no sound ourselves,and every little sudden noise sent athrill through me as I peered about\u25a0with each sense on the alert

* * ?

After going a few hundred yardskthe track turned off on a well-

f beaten path made hy the elk; thewoods were in many places cut upby these game trails, which hadoften become as distinct as ordin-ary foot paths.

The beast's fot orlnts were per-fectly plain in the dust, and he hadlumbered along up the path untilnear the middle of the hillside,where the ground broke away andthere were hollows and boulders.Here there had hoen a windfall, andthe dead trees lay among the living.

The trail turned off Into the tan-gled thicket, within which it wasalmost certain we would find ourquarry. We could still follow thotracks, by the slight, scrapes of thoclaws on the bark, or by the bentor broken twigs; and we advancedwith noiseless caution, slowlyclimbing over the dead tree trunksand upturned stumps, and not let-ting a branch rustle or catch on ourclothes.

When in the middle ofthe thicketwe crossed what was almost abreastwork of fallen logs, and Mer-rill eld. who was leading, passed bythe upright stem of a great pine.As Boon as bo was by It he sanksuddenly on one knee, turning halfround, his face fairly aflame withexcitement; and as I strode pasthim, with my rifle at the ready,there, not 10 steps off, was thegreat bear, slowly rising from hisbed among the young spruces.

He had heard us, but apparentlyhardly knew exactly where or whatwe were, for he reared up on hisbaunches sideways to us. Then hesaw us and dropped down again onall fours. The shaggy hair on hisneck and- shoulders seemed to bris-tle as he turned toward us.

As he sank down on his forefeetI had raised the rifle; his head wasbent slightly down, and when I sawthe top of the white bead fairly be-tween his small glittering, evil eyesI pulled trigger.

Half rising up, the huge beast fell

over on his side in the death throes,the ball having gone into his brain,striking as fairly between the eyesas if the distance had been meas-ured by a carpenters' rule.

The whole thing was over in 20second from the time I caughtsight of the game; indeed, it wasover so quickly that the grizzly didnot have time to show fight at allor come a step toward us. It wasthe first I had ever seen and I feltnot a little proud as I stood over thegreat brindled bulk which lay

stretched out at length in the coolshade of the evergreens.

He was a monstrous fellow, muchlarger than any I have ever seen

CALLED BILL SQUIRESA "BLOODY HORSE"

BY BILL SQUIRES

Another peculiar fight In whichI figured waa with Peter Follx, acolored boxer. It was our secondmeetings? The first time I foughtFelix I knocked him out In 11rounds at Newcastle. In our sec-ond go I knocked him out In 7rounds at Sydney and In our thirdmeeting I turned the trick in 1round in Sydney.

In the secoud meeting, along inthe last part of the second round,I broke my left hahd with a punchthat struck Fellxs forearm. I con-tinued to fight with my left handhanging limp my side until theseventh round. Then I saw anopening, but I could not reach itwith my right, and In a moment ofexcitement I let go with the brokenhand, which da/.ed Felix. I thenQuickly followed and finished himwith my right.

After my third meeting withFelix a friend of my manager askedFelix If he didn't think I was apretty strong man, which drewfrom Felix the remark, "Man? Godmight have meant him for a man,but turned him out a bloody horse."

HOW ACTORS GAMBLE"Willie" Collier, comedian. Is

said to be fond of the race trackwhen he Is auead of the game. He

since, whether alive or brought indead by the hunters. As near aswe could estimate he must haveweighed about 1200 pounds, andthough this is not as large as someof his kind are said to grow in Cali-fornia, it is yet a very unusual sizefor a bear. He waa a good dealheavier than any of our horses, andit "was with the greatest difficultythat we were able to skin him.

He must have been very old, histeeth and claws being all worndown and blunted; but neverthelesshe had been living iv plenty, forhe was as fat as a prize hog, thelayers on his back being a finger'slength in thickness.

doesnt' think it is much fun,though when It Is necessary tospend an entire afternoon trying toget out. With the exception ot Col-lier, Nat Goodwin, George Cohan,Dave Montgomery, Lew Fields andLillian Russell, the celebrities ofthe footlights usually wager withthe soft pedal. Miss Russell is saidto have wagered as much as $5,000several times In order to get out.She is doubtless the highest bettingwoman in the country. They dosay that Lily Lantry once placed5,000 pounds on one of her poniesat Ascot, Kngland.

Jockey Walter Miller has smallground for complaint about beingset down. He Is not the only onein tho class. Some of those whohave played his mounts recentlyhave been set down good and hard.
