Trapper Tells How It Feels to Be
*
Trapped.
Bear Huntsr Experienced Uneomfort
able Night in Snare He Had Pre-
pare« tor Ferocious Old Gr.z^ly.
"Uld Mose” was one of the most fe
rocious bears in the Rockies. He was
a notorious "bad actor," according to
Mr. A. L. Corson in the Wide World
Magazine, and foiled all attempts to
shoot or trap him. Indeed, he seemed
to have a charmed life.
On one occasion a man named Han
cock tried to trap him.
lu placing
the bait inside the trap, Haucock ac
cidentally touched the trigger, and the
logs came down and imprisoned him.
He tried to pry the heavy timbers
apart, but found thut he could not
shift them an ingli. From one side of
the trap to the other he went, uncon
sciously imitating the movements
Bruin would have made in hunting
for a weak point. AU his efforts were
fruitless.
The pangs of hunger were now coin
ing on, and night was near. Hancock
scraped up some chips and twigs, made
a fire and roasted part of tile deer
that he had brought to bait the trap
with. Being lightly dressed, lie suf
fered keenly from the cold night air.
He lay down on the ground, but sud
denly he heard sniffing sounds out
side and detected, by the dim light of
the moon, a dark form gazing through
the chinks between the logs. Hancock
felt safe, although his gun was stand
ing by a tree some distance from the
trap; Mose—for it was no other—
seemed to realize the fact.
Knowing his savage nature, Han
cock withdrew to the other side of the
trap as the big form rose up on his
hind legs.
He could feel the bear’s
hot breath surging through between
the logs upon his face; and, fearing
that the brute would thrust his claws
In. he kept moving from side to side.
Daylight came at last, and Mose
trotted off.
Again Hancock built a
fire and cooked the rest of the deer
meat. He almost decided to set on"
end of the -trap on tire nnd burn Ills
way out. But what if he were un
able to control the blaze? If he could
reach his rille, lie would Jae in a posi
tion to shoot his way out, for lie had
a belt full of cartridge’s.
His horse, tired of standing round,
had long ago made for home.
The next morning, the neighbors,
seeing Hancock's horse In the yard,
surmised that the “outlaw of the Rock
ies” had secured another victim. Sev-
eeral cattlemen started out in search
of Hancock.
In the middle of the
afternoon they heard shooting, but at
first they could see nothing.
Hancock had torn his shirt into
strips, making a rope about 20 feet
long. He had then tied two stones
to a string about a yard long and fas
tened one end of the long line to the
mtddle.
Then he threw the stones
out between the cracks of his prison
toward the rifle.
After two hours
of practice he was able to drag the
gun within reach. He then tried des
perately to "nt his way out by shoot
ing holes through a log about a foot
in diameter. Before he got very far
his comrades had located the shot»
and released him.
Had Feared the Worst
It is a, sad thing to have to relate,
but Mr. Spongedry came home the oth
er night “wet.” Not externally, but
internally; he had drunk wine or spir
its or beer!
With uncertain footsteps he climbed
the stairs, with itchy, nervous fingers
he unclothed himself, witli swimming
head he lay down in his bed.
Mrs. Spongedry had, however, heard
his antl-catlike tread.
Thinking to frighten him. she cov
ered her head with a sheet and ap
proached his bed.
Spongedry sat up in bed and gazed
In wonder at the spook.
“Who is that?” he asked.
“I am a ghostcame the answer
from the sheet.
“Oh. that's all right, then: But you
did give me a fright! I thought you
were my wife!"—London Tit-Bits.
