perts. While  riding  the  range  on  high  creek,
near  the  Sierra  Bonita  ranch,  he  encountered  a
silver-tipped  bear.  Dave  only  had  one  weapon
— his  lariat.  He  quickly  got  this  in  readiness
for  business,  and  after  a short  run  overtook
bruin,  roped  him  around  the  neck  and  then
dragged  him  to  death.  The  bear  weighed  300
pounds. — Wilcox  Stockman.
