ALASKA’S CHAMPIAN
BEAR KILLER
That C. J. Tolman of Seward, Al
aska, is the champion bear killer jtf
the territory is a claim that can be
made without fear of contradiction.
With his own steady hand and trusty
rifle he has killed in his time two
hundred and twenty seven members
of the Bruin family, not counting at
all the greater numbers killed by
parties whom he piloted into the hills.
As an example of the number killed
by those he guided it need only bo
said that in the past ten days he has
been in charge of a party that killed
eight of the animals in the vicinity
of Seward. All the bears killed bv
Mr. Tolman were not killed in Al
aska. He has hunted over Washing
ton, Oregon and California and in
those states he was equally success
ful. He killed his first big game when
he was twelve years of age ami a
still greater record to his credit is
that ho killed the largest bear ever
shot in any part of the world so far
as the records show. This brute was
a brown bear killed by- him on Kodiak
island in 1889. This pelt measured
13 feet 6 inches in length and 11 feet
(i inches in width. The bear weighed
dressed 1,056 pounds, and over a ton
gross weigh!. It is given slill in T,on
don records ns the largest bear over
known to have been killed
As might be expected Mr. Tolman
hits Iniil some irmarkable experiences
anil an effort is being made to get him
to tell them let - he has already refus

Mr. Toltnan turned to call him back
a great biack I tear poked his nose into
the Toltnan doinnch and sent him
Hying through the air. He landed
astride a limb and from there he got
his bear befot. the latter could do any
more. One occurrence looks funny
now Imt how .unity it was at the time
(an lie Judge i by those who hear it.
In a soil of natural trail in the tim
ber onee his .logs rushed a bear to
wards the hunter. As the bear came
in sight and was bearing down on
him Toltnan taw that one of his dogs
was holding i n by the teeth to the
bear's bead nd so preventing him
from tiring. On came the bear and
whi n he wn> only fifteen feet away
rushing down a steep slope Toltnan
jumped back from the trail into the
brush. Alas, behind him was a
springy limb gainst which lie jumped
and which sh t him back like a cata
pult right into the middle of the trail
on his back nd directly in front of
Mr. Iirtiis u :i) with dogs and all
jumped over ids prostrate body.—Al
aska Review.
