The Exeter Times, 1887-8-4, Page 7BULL AGAINST GRIZZLY. A 'FEER1FIO BATTLE FOR WRO$E ENE THE VULTURES WAITED. 'Ilie Deadly Worn of the Mulles Menus an the Beinds Teeth and claws—Interested epeeintoes on tiliteEerth and trt the Alta ----- "I belonged to the engtneer cerps that sur- veyed the route for the Ceriadian Pecifie Railroad," said my friend, Big Jae', ',mid one day, while welting a litele recreation, I was a, witness of a scene in wild life whioh I heve no doubt there are plenty of people would travel far to 800 if it could only be reproduced, but which 1 wouldn't be a epee - tater of again for a good many gold defiers. I left our °eaten one day in July to try my luck at trout fiehing in the head waters of a small stream five miles from camp. The weether hacl been hot and dry for some time, and when I got over to the river t. found the heedeters were not much better than dry lane d( ,- all the moisture I could find being pud- dles here and thereen the bed. The only wate 'likely to be found in that quarter with fish in it was the river, and that was twenty miles away, so I concluded that the best thing for me to do would be to march right back to camp. There was a, heavy thicket along the north bank of the stream, some distanee above where I came out on the dry bed, and a, few vrees atanding maybe a hun- dred yards back from the bank. As I turn- ed to retrace my ilteps I saw a small herd ofwild cattle stending'eff to myright. Among themwas a young bull, and a more splendid• specimen of en enimal I never SW. He tiond the rest of the catt'e were eyeing nee with suspicious curioeity, I didn't like the appearance of the bull, for he had a way of loweriug his heed, throwing dirt with his fore feet, and uttering an ominous sort of bellow that seemed threatening. I turned and walked away, moving toward the trees. I looked back over my shoulder, and saw the bull coming along aeter me. 1 increased my speed, and so did he, until I was running my fastest and the bull was doing hie beat behind me. I can't say exactly how it was done, but it wasn't many seconds before 1 found myself in one of these trees, out of reach of the bull, who was immediately under the tree, pawhig the dirt and acting very mad. I shall always believe that 1 was hoisted into that tree by the bull, al- though I had no evidence to show for it. "The bull pawed and grumbled under the tree for a few minutes, and then turned and walked toward the thicket, on the creek side of winch there was a water hole. The other cattle went quietly to grazing where I had first seen them, I suppose the bull started toward the thicket to get a drink at the water nole, but he never. got the drink. I saw him push his way into the thioket, and the next in- stant I could see that he had got into trouble of some kind, and that troudle proved to be a grizzly bear. A fierce struggle fol- lowed in the thicket. The tops of the bushes swayed to and fro, and I could hear the heavy crash of wood as the two power- ful animals writhed in fierce embrace. A cloudof duat rolledup froin the spot. It was not distant over 100 yards from the tree i1i which I had taken refuge. Scarcely twoelapsed before the bull broke through. the bushes. His head was cov- ered with blood , and great flakes of flesh hung from his fore shoulders. But instead of showing any signs of defeat he seemed literally to glow with defiant rage. In- stinct had simply prompted him in his re- treat to seek an open space. He was lithe and wiry, yet wonderfully massive about the shoulders, combinding the rarest qual- ities of strength and symmetry. For a moment he stood glaring at the bushes he had retreated from, his 'nostrils distended, and his vhole form fixed and rigid. But scarcelykhad I. time to note all this when the bealtstA•r uge, repulsive looking brute, broke through the opening. He was the most formidable specimen of his kind 1 had ever seen, and my sympahelies were at once with the bull, in spite of his belliger- ent attitude toward me a few minutes be fore, but I had my serious doubts about the final result of the combat that began at once. "That combat was a trial of brute force that no words of mine are adequate to des- cribe. When the bear made his appear- ance out of the thicket the bull did not wait for his contestant's cnarge, but, low- ering his great need to the ground, he rush- ed madly upon the bear. The latter seem- ed to appreciate the abilities of the bull, and summoned all the wariness of his iia ure to his aid. He waited until the bull rushed almost upon him andthen sprang aside with marvellous quickness, seized his assailant's horns in his powerful grasp, and pressed his head down against the ground by his great strength and the weight of his enormous 14°4, biting at the bulls no3e and tear- ing the flesh from his neck and shoulders with this long sharp claws. This posi- tion was maintained for at least five min- utes, the bull struggling desperately to free his head, but being unable to accom- plish it, while the bear put forth every muscle to press the bull's body to the ground. The blood poured from the bull's nostrils in great streams, but the bear had as yet received no apparent injury. "Presently both animals paused in THEIR DESPERATE STR17GCLE, as each was blown and rapidly approach- ing exhaustion. The bear did not relax the hold he had obtained on his contestant. As yet during the fight neither animal had ut- tered a sound, except their loud and labor- ed breathing. The cessation in the struggle had probably been of ten minutes' duration, when suddenly the bull made one desperate lunge, broke the motionless, bnt terrible embrace, hurled the bear from off his head, and backed away probably ten paces. The ear lifted his huge form on his haunches, a .stood ready for the next assault, The herc of cattle had by this time gathered in fro he plain and aurrounded the combat - an., moaning and bellowing and pawing up the ground but maintaining a terrified neu- trality. Prom my position in the tree I watched the exciting scene with breathless interest. d ',The bull did not, remain at retit a mo- ment after backing away for a new charge, but, rendered furious by his wounds he gathered all hie energies, and with an un. earthly cry rushed with impetuous force and ferocity upon the bear, The latter attempted to tee the tactics thethed served hint so well at tho first onslaught, but the second charge of the bull was irresistible, in spite of the bear's terrific blows with his paws. and the grizzly went down in the cltiet before hie crazed antagonist, and vain- ly tried to defend himself. The bull tnrest hie horne in under the bear, can ght him in the belly with ono of the sharp weepoes, and with one furious sweep of his head tore the grizzly open until his entrails pro. triided. Then the grizzly rose to hie feet, and with a roar that made my blood run °Old closed With his terrible enemy, and itie a long.timc the two fought, their cries and the oes of the surtorinding cattle being frightful to listen to, le- ' While the fight wag going on two great ' eagles appeared froth some neysterione aerie and sailed land cireled above the Beene of the oonflict, leienrely and grandually drop, ping nearer to the earth. Almost simultan, *Neely *ale the appearence of the eaglea I saw the heade of half a dozen hungry wolves eenerge from the bushes where the fight had /304.11111. I knew that the battle must soon end, and that the eagles and the wolves had egented the contest feem afar, and knew by their infallible instinct that it must resule in, choice prey for them. The preeeuce of these htiegry birde and beasts of prey Add- ed to the teeror of the bloody contliet. "win Tenitinaii PICIIT CONTINUeD The ground was torn up end covered with blood for many feet arouud, Both animals were grievously wounded. It was plain that neither could hold out much longer. Maimed and gory, they fought with the certainty of death, the bear rolling over and over in the dust, vainly trying to avoid the fatal horns of his ativersery, and the bull ripping, thrusting, ancl tearing the grizzly with ireeidatible ferocity. At last Loaf determined to end the conflict, the bull drew back , lowered his head, and znade a third terrific) charge, but, blinded by the streams of blood that poured down his face, he missed his mark, stumbled, and rolled headlong on the ground. In spite of his frightful injuries and great ex hauetion, the bear thrned quickly and sprang upon his prostrate °twiny, He seemed to have been suddenly invigorated by this turn of the battle in his fever. With merciless sweeps of his huge laws he tore the flesh in great masses from the bull's up -turned side. The advantage the bear thus obtained over the bull seemed to be understood by the herd, and the bellowing increased, dirt was thrown about in clouds, and one big cow drew near the struggling animals, and I believed for a moment that she intended to go to the aid of the herd's prostrate leader, so fierce were her aspect and actions; bur she simply circled around the bear and the bull, bel- lowing and pawing. In the mean time both the eagles and the wolves grew impatient of the delay in the battle's ending. The former would now and then swoopdown, as if to hurry up the finish, uttering harsh cries, and some waiting wolf would steal from his covert and make a closer and more courageous reconnoisa,nce, snapping and , snarling in apparent disapointment. "The bull and the bear rolled over and over in the terrileledeathstruggle. Nothing was now to be seen but a heaving, gory mass dimly perceptible through the dust. As to weight, the two fierce and determined , brutes must have been about equally match- ' ed. The bear had the advantage of greater' agility and the expert and telling use of two terrible weapons, his teeth and his claws, while the bull represented more inflexible courage and greater powers of endurance. ' The unfortunate result of the bull's last charge on the grizzly indicated that the latter's qualities would in a few minutes ' more settle the fight against the bull, and I was m momentary expectation of seeing such a termination, when, to my astonish- ment, I saw the bear relax his efforts, roll over from the 'llody of his prostrate foe, and drag himself feebly away from the spot. His appearance was sickening to me, so frightfully had he been ripped and torn by the bull's horns. The grizzly had no sooner , abandoned his attack on the bull than the latter was on his feet, bearing himself as erect and fierce as ever. If the bear's ap- ' pearancewas sickening, the 'bull's was doub- ly so. He was covered with blood from his forehead to his rump, and his flesh and skia actually bung in strips and tatters ' from his head and sides. Giving his head • a shake that scattered blood in a shower abont him, and gave him a moment'a sight ' of the reeking bear in front of him, he- low ered his head for the fourth time, and again made one of his terrific charges. When tho dying bear had dragged himself away from • the bull, the eagles actually swooped down upon him, and the wolves sprang from the , thicket into the opening and prepared to ' pounce upon him. The bull scattered the impatient birds and animals as he swept on his final charge against the grizzly, and they hastily departed, shrieking. and snarling. The cattle again added thew bellowing to that of the bull's, and acted as if they understood the favorable turn the fight had taken. Asthebtfilluirled himself against the grizzly, thelatterbracedhimself for a last desperate struggle. He struck out wildly with lais paws, and the bull fell back witb the force of the grizzly's blows, representing a ghastly spectacle. His tongue hung from his mouth a mangled masa of shreds. His face was stripped bare of flesh to the bone, and his eyes were torn from their sockets. The charge was equally disastrous to the bear, he being ripped completely open. and he sank to the grouna writhing m his agony. The indomitable courage of the bull here prevailed. Blinded, and crippled as he was, he made but a slight pause after his fourth assault, and then dashed wildly at his foe again, The grizzly's roar now seemed to be one of terror. With a last frantic effort he soaght to make his escape, scrambling and staggering, through the dust. But it was useless, His •great atrength was gone. The bull plunged his horns again and again into the huge form of the dying brute as he lay stretched help- less in the dust. The bear's muscles quiver- ed and contracted. He drew his immense paws up once or twicein convulsive clutches, raised his huge head, gave one agonizing groan, and FELL BACK DEAD, The victorous bull raised his bloody, horridly disfigured orest, gave voice to a deep bellow, and, shaking his head tri- umphantly, turned and walked away. His progress ,vas slow and painful, and he stopped and turned at short intervals and listened, as if to know whether his foe would renew the battle. He walked nearly a hundred yards, with his herd gathering and bellowing about him. Presently his head drooped from its proud position. He spread his legs apart as if to brace himself against the weakness that was stealing upon him. Suddenly he fell as if he had been shot, a mangled, bleeding mass and was soon dead. "The bull had no sooner left the dead hear than the eagles and wolves were screeching, snarling, and fighting on the carcass, The bull had not been dead five ininutes when a flock of vultures dropped down in their mysterious way upon his body. When I climbed out of the tree to leave the scene of that terrific: combat the herd of eattle had disappeared on the plain and two great skeletons were all that mozkedthe field of conflit. Sure Pop.

Biggar, of Montreal, who made himself famous at the Colonial • Exhibition by his intelligent selvoceey of the question cf Cenediatt flax -culture, has just communi- cated toe following valuable pointers on salting butter for English meeket "The point urged in your pamphlet, that Ottnadiarie over -salt their butter, is very impertatit. Canadiame in London may no bice that what Londoners look upou as the best butter, tastes rather flat. This is be- cause there is comparatively little salt in it. It was the common verdict that the very best samples of our butter at the Colonial Exhibition were not liked, for this reason, and some complained to me that there was even a bitter twang to it, resulting proba- bly not only from exeees of salt, but from salt of a, poor quality, or at least, having chemical elements which should not be pre- sent. The latter feet may account partly for the early rankness of some samples of our butter. The fact is thet Canadians eat more salt then Englishmen do, and if these wish to regain their hold on the English market, they must make a radical change in the use of salt in their butter," It is in the interest of our dairymen that there be a reform in the direction of lighter salting ot butter.. Wellonade, light -salted butter will satisfy the English liking already educated to it, and its supply will soon educate our own people to a similar liking, all of which means more profit to the but- ter -maker, resulting from an increased de- mand for the higher quality—for such it will be—at possibly higher prices. Robbing a Gold Mine, At Nevada City 1,800 pounds of ore were sold a short time ago for $8,000. It was identified as the product of the Eberhard mine, near White Pines, and there was a great deal of curiosity to learn how it had been carried out of the mine. The story was obtained in some way, and this is it: A Cornish miner employed in the Eberhard had his dinnet-bucket made with a falee bottom, into which he put a specimen every day, oarrying it away safely to a cabin which he shared with another Cornishman, who worked on the night shift. As his partner was absent when he was present, he had no trouble itt secreting the ore, plac- ing it each night under the floor of the ca- bin and keeping its presence and where- abouts a secret. One morning he informed his partner that he was going to quit the Eberhard and leave the country. The part- ner must have been suspicious, for he then waited for the ore thief to get out of sight when he tore up the cabin floor, and, bor- rowing a horse and wagon, loaded up the 1,800 pounds of stuff, and driving to Nevada, City sold it. Ffe then disappeared, and the original thee; never got a cent f or his share of the plunder. Only Suggested the Death. Law is a very queer thing- Sometimes the suggestion of athing is enough, andother times even absolute proof is no good. Now when a man dies while a suit is pending the attorney on his side can procure a postpone- ment by saying he's dead. That is how sen- sible people would get it, but the law calls it "suggesting the death of the plaintiff or defendant." An attorney some time ago was making that common fight against just • ice by postponement tactics. He had about got to the end of his tether and he felt very blue about it It seenied inevitable that the case must be tried, He was on hand when the case was called. A bright idea occurred to him. He got up and said ;—" May it please the court, I suggest the death of the defendant and ask an adjournment for two weeks." " Granted." Wheit the case came up again there was a row. The attorney was called up. "What do you mean, sir," asked the court, "by sayingithatthe defen- dant was dead, when he s here in court alive and well ?" "I did not say he was dead may it please your honour. I merly took the law for it, which provides that counsel may suggest the death of tbe defendant," I suggested it. WAy Laura Hor Ecau.
