WW\%\“W\\“SWW ‘Hawaiian Guitar "There has always been some quesâ€" tion as to whether or not bears would pursue and attack moose. The follow-l ing incidents, which occurred in this district within the past few months, | will, I believe, settle the question more . or less conclusively. In May this year| two local guides went out to a camp one evening to bring in some equipâ€" ment. The camp was four or five miles back from the railway, and in a secludâ€" ed spot where both bear and moose | have things pretty well to themselves. At five p.m., just as they started supâ€" per, they became aware of a thumping and pounding, and shortly afterwards a loud bellow and roaring as though Bedlam ‘had suddenly broken loose in the still woods. The sounds came from the neighbourhood of a small lake within a few hundred yards of their camp. As bears had been very plentiâ€" ful there all spring, thinking it was a bear pounding an old stump or log i to pieces, they paid no particular atâ€" tention to the noise. When the bellow-l ing and roaring and pounding had conâ€" tinued for a good two hours however, they decided that something unusual j was astir, so they went over to investiâ€" | gate, It was almost dark by this time, but getting closer to the commotion they were able to make out a monster black bear in combat with a cow moose. The bear would rise onto his hind legs, and drawing close would strike the moose a blow with his powâ€"| erful front paw. The force of the blow Readers of The Advancse on several eccasions have had the pleasure of reading articles written by M. U. Bates, ef Metagama, the noted guide and hunter. His articles are always inâ€" teresting and thoughtâ€"provoking. A recent article by Mr. Bates as publishâ€" ed in Rod and Gun is no exception. Here it is in full:â€" STIRRING STORY OF BEAR THAT ATTAGKED B1G MOOSE Other Incidents to Prove Theory That Bears Will Pursue and Attack Moose.

The cow would emit a loud bellow and turn to charge the bear. It was then the roaring started. When the cow tried to crawl away the bear would strike her again; then the bellowing and rogring and thumping all over again. They fought back and forth over a space of about two acres for upwards of six hours, it being around eleven o‘clock when the last sounds died out. When the bear became tired he simply walked off a few yards and lay down puffed and panted till he was rested; then returnâ€" ed to the battle again. It was too dark for the guides to risk a shot at the bear, so they went back to camp and waited till daylight. At daylight they returned to the scene of the battle, but both contestan‘ts had disappeared. The trees and ground were torn and batterâ€" ed and blood bespattered for two acres around, and they picked up several good sized bones that the bear had broken and torn out of the moose‘s body. The moose couldn‘t possibly nave lived in the crippled state the bear had left her, but as they did not have the time to follow her, they set and ieft a trap for a return visit of the bear. About a week later he came back, and a photograph, which I have, shows him at the end of his trail, his killinec done. It took three bullets from a 30â€"06, the last one through the heart., before he gave up the ghost. He was a big one, weighing close to four hundred pounds. Examining him latâ€" er, it was found that the moose had crushed one of his front feet, and brokâ€" en some of his teeth, his jaw still being badly ulcerated and swolien. About the same date another bear tackled another cow moose about eight miles north of there on the shore of the Ssnake River, a small stream connectâ€" ing the east and west branches of the Spanish River near Metagama. This bear broke the moose‘s hindquarters and tore the whole side and flank out of ‘her. She lived, nevertheless, for several days, and was several times seen by partiee passing the spot in cances. Mr. White, wellâ€"known lumâ€" berman of the firm of White and Plaunt, saw this moose and can verify the condition described above. She finally died a few yards back from the river bank. Another trapper from the Bisco district who was down in June with some bear skins told me he had seen where a bear had torn a moose literally to pieces. In June a cow and calf moose had been staying around the shores of a little stream called Sinker Creek. I had seen them several times, and the cow was quite tame. One day I missed the calf. A few days latter, just at dusk, I came out of the woods at my old trapping camp near by. I heard a scraping in a tree right over my head; looking up I saw what I thought was a small porcupine. I had a .38 Colt with me, and as is my cusâ€" tom with porkies, I drew a bead on his head. I was about to shoot when something unusual in the appearance of the head caused me to stop. It was lucky for me, possibly, that I did, for the aspirant in aeronatics was a youn$ bear, no larger than a small house cat. The mother, I knew was close by, and I knew that one squawk from the cub would bring the old lady on the fly, so not wishing to deprive "Rod and Gun" of a perfectly good trapping editor t proceeded with as much dignity as could be expected under the cireumâ€" stances, to my cabin near by. The old bear apparently was not yet aware of my presence, for when I reached the cabin, she was heading slowly down the side of the creek towards the very spot where I had seen the cow moose that morning. I fired a few shots with the object of turning her back, and it must have worked, for the next mornâ€" ing she was in the trap, a half mile back on the trail, which the guides had set some days before. While I do not want to accuse unjustly the most humâ€" ble member of the genus Ursus, I susâ€" pect that it was this bear, or some of her multitudinous relations, which was responsible for the disappearance of my calf moose a few days previous.. The cubâ€"he disappeared for a day or two, but coming back to get something . to eat he got his small foot into one of the smaller traps which were set for him. A picture which I have of him shows him trying another aerial ascenâ€" sion with the heavy clog and trap, both. of which weighed considerably more. than himself, fast on his foot. Did the cruel trappers kill him? No, he was put into a bag and brought into the settlement, â€"and a few days later was sold to a gentleman in Woodstock, Ont., who, I hope, takes good care of him. This cub was very quiet and tractable, and not so wild as two others which I had at the same time, and which I had considerable trouble tamâ€" ing. I kept the other two cubs for upâ€" wards of two months, fed and played with them daily, and in this way came to learn considerable about their comiâ€" cal cub ways. A visitor in this district the past summer was Prof. Frank M. Lewis of New York City. I recounted to him the details of the mooseâ€"bear battle already described, also other cases of bears attacking and killing moose which had come to our notice. The professor who is a good canoeman, and spends a lot of time in the north woods each year, stated franklyâ€"very frankly as a matter of factâ€"that he had never heard of such a thing; and I suspect that his mental reservation was that I had some slight connection with that dubious organization referred â€"to politely as the Ananias Club. He camped on the Snake River within a few minutes paddle of the decaying body of the dead moose already referâ€" red to, but doubtless had his own opinâ€" ions concerning the probable manner Souo ':.
