Miss Ruth Jackson, a former resi dent of Grants Posh, but now of Baker City, aud her friend, Miss Anglo of Medford, who is visiting Miss Jack son, had a very interesting adventure with a bear iu tho mountains near Austin, a few days ago. The young ladies iu company with Ray Jackson, Miss Ruth's brother, were out camp ing, and for amusement they sjieut the time hunting and fishing. It is not asserted positively that when they started out it was their intention to hunt for bear, but being engaged in tho pursuit, they were brave enough to tackle a bear should one cross their path, and that is exactly what hap pened. Miss Jackson was carrying the gun when they met a bear in the path, aud without further ceremony si io took aim and fired. Her aim was true. She brought down t he game, and althousgh not killing in stantly, it was mortally wounded. Miss Angle took part iu tho slaughter, ending the struggles of the bear with a club.
