HE HAD BEEN HUNTED
FOR A SCORE OF YEARS
Seventeen Bpllets and Buckshot Ga
lore Found In the Old Veteran's
Skin; Killed When he Tried to
Swallow a Loaded Shot Gun.
Old "Knock Knee, the big bear
that has terrorized the regions of the
Upper Cheteo district of Southwest
ern Josephine county, has been slain
Old "Knock Knee," as ho was famil
iarly known by the residents of 4his
section of the state, was undoubted
ly the largest black bear ever killed
in the west. His length was eight
feet tour -nclies, from tip to tip, and
he weighed S20 pounds as largo as
a giant grizzly. His years were ninny ,
as was testified by the fact that 17
musket balls were taken from his
body when slain, aside from dozens
of slugs and buckshot that were bed
ded beneath the skin.
"Knockknee" terrorized the ranch
es of the Upper Cheteo region for a
number of years. Scores of goats, J
calves and even cattle and horses,
have fallen victims to his voracious
appetite. Time and again he has
been shot, and by ranchmen who
prided themselves on their unerring
aim; the fact that old "Knock Knee",
paid no more attention to these hun
ters' rifles than he would peas from
a popgun caused the superstitious to
believe that the old bear was an
agent of the devil. Ho was called
"Knock Knee" on account of a de-,
formity to one of his feet, which was!
caused by a gunshot wound. j
"Knock Knee's" depredations in-'
creased, and finally became of such
magnitude that all the ranchmen of
the Cheteo were forced to unue in a
campaign against the marauder. A
few days ago every man armed him-,
self to the teeth, and with the best,
dogs in the neighborhood set out .o'
hunt the bear. After an exc.ung
chase up the Cheteo, xluring which .
nearly all the dogs were slain and
the hunters forced to flee, one man
climbed a tree closely followed by
the bar. The big brute attempted
to wrest the rifle from the hunter
and in . so doing took the muzzlo In !
his month. At this opportune mo
ment the shot was fired that brought
him to his death. !
