(I may refer to th; big cinnamon, too, asff an instance of the danger that sometime attends trappmg t ie bcar.) t He, had set his traps near Sunlight, in theepring, and was unable to visit them for a week. When we got to t ie bait, trap and- log were gone. After taking up the trail, hA soon found the remnants "of his log chewel to match -wood ; the bear, evi dently a large one, had gone off with the trap. He follower i his trail as long as he had light, but found nothing, and had to return to camp. Next day, very fool ishly, he took the jtrail again alone, be ginning where he pad-left off. After a Hong march be came to- the steep side of a hill ; the bear had evidently gone up there; on the softJ snow-$odden ground the trail was plain. Jufas he was be ginning to ascend, there was aruih and a roar, and the be"ar was on him. He had no time to put, his repeater to his shoulder, but letting it fall hetween hit bands, pulled the tjrger. cThe Jjear was within a few feet of him,ahd"by a great chance the unaimed bullet took him be tween the eyes.
