A few days ago he was attacked by t bear and came out of the fray without a scratch, al though he did not even have a pocket knife to defend himself with. He was in the woods near" Oysterville when hf walked up on an old bear and two rubs. The brush was so thick that to run was out of the question, and 'ne was compelled to stand his ground. although!' he cast many furtive glances rearward in the. hopes of spying an opening large enough to admit of a hasty retreat. Seeing that escspe without an encounter was impossible, he steadied himself for the onslaught of Mrs. Bruin. On she came with open mouth and a hideous growl. Mr. Coul ter thought his tlm had come, but . decided: to die fighting. When the old , bear came within reach of him he gave . he? a vicious kick, hitting her square ly on the end of the nose. This un expected attack startled the bear-and instead of continuing to push the fight, she turned and slunk away, followed by the cubs.
