One day a fellow named Chauncey ha vis was out with his dogs hunting for bear. They rounded up one and the chase started. The bear ran through the woods toward the road where i was Jogging along. , First Thing. The first thing 1 know about It out Jumps the bear -he looked to me bigger than the biggest elephant the world ever has known. Hut that simply was my first Impression. The bear was a lit tle hit smaller to be truthful about It. The bear scrambled out Into the road In a sort of panic. I tried to duck out of his way, but I ducked too late. The bear charged right at me and bowled me o v er. The % Impact made him lose his balance and he rolled ever, too. “1 Jumped to rny feet and so did the bear. My being In his woy must have made him mad, lie lung* d toward me and mafic a swipe at trie with his paw. He missed me but only by a fraction of an Inch. 'The Idea of that brute trying to wallop me made me mad, and right then and there I decided I’d choke him to death JJust to show my superiority. “I dove for him, sort of like h fortball player JuJmps for one of Ids opponents, grabbed him by the /jerk, pushed aside his thick hair, so I could get a good grip on his skin, and then begun choking him. In a few seconds I found that choking a be.a while he was standing up was a pretty big Jojb, so I knocked him over, Jumped on him, renewed my hold and choked with a will. The Dog*.* "Just then ]>avls ami hie d<>gs ram* up. At my command, Davis railed hIH dogs «>ff. Then he yelled to me to Jump out of the way end that he would shoot the heur. 1 wilt!: *Nlx;’ this bear In- Hidted me hy trying 1° Dll mu when 1 wasn't looking, and now I’m going to choke the sun-of-a-ffuu to death right now.’ "Of cours* the bear struggled and «M|ulrnied and tried to tear me with Ida elnwH, hut 1 balked him and flnully iiln eff<rt% heeHine feebler and feebler an my choking continued and them, of a .sud den, his body relaxed ami 1 knew 1 had choked hhu Into unconsciousness. A little more choking and I could have killed him, but 1 thought 1 wouldn't he so bruts I, «s I'd sort of gotten over my anger, so 1 stopped choking the hear. "latter 1 hired a wagon, tlad the hear Bo he couldn't break away nnd bail him carried to my training camp. 1 locked the bear up in a Vuoin tlmt night. The next morning armed with tt pitchfork, 1 opened the door to see how he’d gotten along. Just a a soon as 1 pusher my self through the door, the bear jumped at me I could have Jammed Mm with u pitchfork and killed him, bid, bfTause I Imd subdued him with my tare hands once, 1 felt tlmt l could do It again, so I dropped the fork and drove a right to the beat’s stomach. That sort of halt ed bltn. gulck us a flash 1 shot In an other and another and Mister llear klndii got groggy I soaked him oqc« again and he had enough. "Well, this continued each day far several weeks At the end of that time the bear decided he had enough, end that I was his master. After that 1 could go In and grab him by the snoot and wrestle around with him without any danger of his biting or BiTatchlng me. •Til always keep thnt hear with me.
