I'm it is a fact. The thrilling battle between a buck deer. weighing 300 pounds, and u hear tipping the scales at about 600, is described by a rancher of the Canadian Northwest——an eye-witness of the struggl". "It happened just after daybreak. I was on my way to the other end of my ranch on the Neehaco river. Coming out on the. farther side of a heavy growth of spruce. I saw signs of what must have been a recent fierce cut-up between some big animals. Blood, pieces of bloody hide and hair were strewn around. I also quickly detected the unmistakable smell of bear, which to a hunter after 'bar' is sure sign that he is in the immedia te vicinity." There follows a description of how the anonymous eye witness came upon the spectacle of a big buck cjeer in the act of killing a black bear by driving if.s hoofs fchrongh the body of the h'tu' as the latter lay supine. It is not related how the bear came to lie down and allow the buck to get in his nasty wallop below the belt. as thi.s happened before the eye-witness arrived.
