BIG BROWN SHEAR MAKES
' ATTACK ON DR. ELTING AND
! GUIDE SWEAZY, BUT IS KILLED
*
i
j Dr. A. W. El ting, the Albany, New
I York, surgeon, and Guide Ben Sweazy
had an experience with a big brown
jshe-bear which they will long remem
ber. and had it not been that the doctor
is an experienced hunter, the guide
being unarmed, the Gateway might
have to publish the shocking news of a
tragedy,rather thaft the following inci
dent:
The surgeon and the guide were
wending their way to camp one day,
labile on their recent hunting trip,
[when Sweazy, who was alert for the
j sight of big game, happened to glance
! ahead on the moose trail which they
j were following. Aboutforty feet away,
a little to one side of the trail, close
by some brush that resembled it’s own
color, stood erect on its haunchess a
monstgr she-bear. “There’s a bear!”
exclaimed the guide. “Shoot it in the
neck!” The surgeon did not see the
animal at once, as he did not antici
pate sighting one so near at hand and
j hence did not get-a shot while the bear
;\yas in a standing posture. Theanimal
made'a rush for’them. The hunter
stood his ground and let drive, the ball
taking effect in tbe bear’s shoulder
' The animal fell scarcely twenty feet
(distant, but'instantly arose and made
for the brush and was soon lost to view.
An effort was madeiotrack theanimal,
but the day was drawing to a close and
the quest was deferred until the next
day. During the night two inches of
sdow fell, obscuring all signs of the
bloody trail left by bruin. It is certain

that the bear was killed.
That the bear had designs on the
men there can be no doubt. It cached
it’s three cubs away and deliberately
lay in wait by the side of the trail
down which the hunters were coming
and whom the bear had either scented
or sighted. Sweazy says it was the j
largest bear he has ever seen, and j
Ben has seen about as many as any
body else around these parts, during
his sixteen years’experience in the |
hills of fCenai. j
Elgin Vaughn and Ike Flergaard, j
who were employed as packers, have
another bear story to tell. They went
out one day, unarmed, when a big
brown . bear happened along. The
packers who were seated on the ground,
remained quiet. The animal came
quite close, saw them, growled a
little, made u detour, and passed on by.
The pacKerS hastened to camp. The
next time they went out, they took a
gun—Sweazy’s gun; by the way, and
this fact permitted the she-bear before
referred to, to make a getaway, as a
second shot would have most certainly
killed it on the spot.
A prospector living on Kenai river
recency saved ‘himself, by retaining
his nerve, from a nasty raixup with a
broyrto bear. He had killed a moose
and Was packing it quarter by quarter,*
to camp; "When passing through some
willows, he heard the growl of a bear,
which had been feasting on the moose
meat. The bear rushed at him, but a
well-directed ball put an end to it’s

[SCAPED STEERS
CAUSE A PANIC
ON 5TB AVENUE
- — - * —
New York, Nov. 5—Fifteen escaped
wild steers terrified a thousand pedes
trians on Fifth avenue last night.
The first thing that attracted the
attention of the enraged animals was a
red-light lantern carried t>.v a watch
man on the way to his nocturnal vigil.
The steers, in a bunch, gave chase.
The watchman, realizing that lie was
picked as a victim, began to hotfoot it
down the avenue. lVonle on the
street fled in all directions seeking
places of refuge.
A policeman, thinking to save the
watchman, drew his gun and opened
tire on the steers. Ofcourse, he miss
ed the animals and killed the man,
besides puncturing a curious waiter
who stuch his face outside a restau
rant door to see what caused such a
commotion in such a refined locality.
One of the steers, seeing red lights
in St. Patrick's cathdrai, entered the
open door. In terror, the worshippers
fled out through other exits, leaving
■the animal in possession.
After an hour’s efTort by mounted
policemen, the steers were rounded up
in Central park and killed.
