Four Good Stories
About Ijgd Bears
—
One Killed on Ruby.
One night week before last the
Ruby creek hydraulic people’s cat be
was robbed of a lot of dried fish.
Tbe robbery was at first attributed
to dogs; but the next night when
a commotion was heard outside in
vestigation disclosed a big black
bear preparing to repeat the bur
glary. An alarm was given and
Bruin was assaulted by every man
around the works. A running fire
was kept up for a long distance,
and when the big brute finally sue
cumbed it was found that sixteen
bullets had pierced tbe carcass, not
one of which, strange to say, had
touched a bone.
Bear steak was plentiful on Ruby
creek.
One Flustered Jack Miles.
Last week on Little Mil ojk the
dogs around the cabin kept up such
a racket that Jack Miles couldn’t
sleep. He turned over in bed and
rebuked them in the most forcible
lauguage he could command; but
it was no use—the intolerable bow
wow went on.
Finally he got out of bed and
crept cautiously to the door, with a
billet of stovewood in hand, intend
ing to lambast the first dog he could
see. He threw the door wide open
and jumped outside, and instantly
found himselt confronted by a big
bear, who was feasting off a pile of
stale biscuits not a yard away. At
first Miles was too much flustered
to attempt to move, and be and the
bear stood looking at each other in
silence. Presently the bear reached
out toward Jack for another biscuit
and, shrieking “G'way from here,
ye son-of-a-gun!” the man fell
backwards into the cabtn and shut
and barricaded the door. At 2:30
in the morning he peered out and
saw the bear curled up asleep in
the sunshine a few yards away;
but when the morning was well
advanced he looked again and the
uuwekomc visitor was gone.
Mr. Miles bad no gun.

This Man Met a Bad One.
The Fairbanks News of May 26
tells of a desperate encounter be
tween Joe Notti, a Cripple crick,
miner, and a bear the evenii g be
fore.
Notti was coming from Hyde's
farm across the ridge to Cripple
creek and was attacked by a female
bear. He was passing through a
patch of brnsh and was almost on
top of the bear before he saw it.
S.tiftas a flash it caught him on
the right jaw with its huge paw,
and the claws tore the flesh to the
bone. He was armed only with a
knife, and though somewhat dazed
by the stunning force of the blow,
he slashed right and left and suc
ceeded in freeing himself and ran
for his life down the ridge.
He met Fred Andrak with a gun,
and although weak from loss of
blood, he borrowed the w< a,x>n and
returned to recover bis hat and
some bundles he lost in the fight,
and to kill the bear if possible.
