BEAR STEAKS AT CASCADIA.
Campers at That Resort are Killing
Big Game.
Word has been received here of
a thrilling experience with a huge
black bear at Caecadia Springs on
the Santiam, Saturday evening.
T. C. Peebler was out " hunting a
short distance above the spring,
when suddenly there appeared upon
the scene a monster black bear,
making direct for the hunter.
Being an experienced mountain
eer, Mr. Peebler, stood, his ground
until his bearship approached with
in 20 yards of him, when he fired.
The shot took effect in the neck
and turned bruin from his course
and down over an embankment in
to the thick underbrush. The
bear was followed by two " dogs,
that were there at the time, and
from the noise that came from the
brush there "was a desperate en
counter between the wounded ani
mal and the dogs. It was by this
time getting quite dark, so calling
off the dogs Mr. Peebler returned
to camp for the night. The fol
lowing morning he returned to the
scene of the conflict and there found
one of the fiercest looking bears he
had ever seen, cold in death. In
addition to this event, life at the
springs has been relieved of its
monotony by the killing of two
young cougars a short time ago.
A. J. Nichols, who resides but a
few miles this side of the springs
was successful last week in trap
ping a half grown bear. Old
mountaineers- declare that the
woods are full ot them; in fact that
wild animals of all kinds are on the
increase at Cascadia.

Bears ths ' "ya Kind Yqu Wave Always Bougtf
i Signature
of
A WILY OLD BEAR.
He Ranges the West Side of Mary's
Peak and Eludes all Pursuers.
For the past six weeks a mon
strous bear has been ranging about
the head of Wolf Creek, which
empties into Big Elk, and during
that time has destroyed ' a large
number of sheep and goats. Par
ties of hunters with dogs have
chased him - time after ? time but
without success. .The animal is
thought to be an old one which
understands perfectly how to elude
the hunters. When overtaken by
the dogs he refuses to . seek refuge
in a tree as bears usually do under
such circumstances, , but instead,
gives battle to the dogs as long as
he is safe from the hunters, and
then moves on. . On account . of
dense under growth the hunters
can not see the bear until they are
very near him. At this season the
dogs can not continue the chase
long without going to water, and
it is their habit for all to go togeth
er. The dogs will return . to the
chase again when their thirst has
been satisfied, but the bear has
taken advantage of their absence
and secured a long lead of his pur
suers. . 4
The last chase reported was made
by Frank Taylor and others with
Caleb and Frank Davis' dogs.
When hunters go out for the pur
pose they never fail to"jump" the
bear. When the party reached
the animal's, range, Old Jack', one
of the dogs, soon found his trail
and in a short time the faster dogs
had overhauled the terror of Mary s
Peak neighborhood. But the bear
followed the tactics which' had long
been his security, and the hunt was
finally given up for the day, How
ever, one of the dogs, a small fox
and blood-hound kept up the chase
and fought the bear over a distance
of two miles after the other dogs
had returned to the hunters.
' Although the efforts of settlers
on the west side of the peak to kill
the intruder on their range, have so
far falied, they have no notion of
giving up the hunt. Since they
have chased him so often they have
learned pretty nearly, the course of
his retreat when pursued, and it is
their purpose to summon a large
num ber of hunters and station indi
vidulas along this course before the
chase begins. It is thought that
the bear is likely, when pursued, to
come near some person lying in wait
for hini, or they may be able in this
manner to surround him when they
learn bis whereabouts by the baying
of the dogs This method was suc
cessfully carried out to kill 'a wily
old bear which a few years ago
ranged about the east and north
sides of the peak. - In that instance
the chase was on and while the dogs
were away for water the old bear
was "making tracks" on a trail
along which Caleb Davis was sta
tioned, and a bullet from his gun
ridded the neighborhood of a very
troublesome, creature.

Pennsylvania Wasn't Enough Like Or

Harry Wicks and family are back
from Pennsylvania whither they
went from CorvaHis six months ago
to make the East their permanent
home. Pennsylvania ws not
enough like Oregon to suit them,
and they .are very welcome back.
We don't like to have people leave
Oregon because they like some
other state better, or because they
think they can do better elsewhere,
but we have learned to be assured
they won't stay long when they do
go. A great many of 'Harry's
friends are saying to him "What did
I tell you when you left?" Under
some circumstances it might be an
noying to him, but just now he feels
as if he could put up with almost
anything here without complaint.
Mr.' Wicks states that he held a
most satisfactory position with' an
uncle near Pittsburg, but the hot
days and hot nights, -disastrous
storms, ' lightning stroke0, ap
proaching extreme cold, poor helth
and all, was more than he could
stand although he fought bravely
against his inclination to return to
Oregon. Mr, Wicks has Fome very
good positions offered him. both
here and in Portland, but on ae
count of having friends and proper
ty in Benton he thinks he will re
main here. ,
