set upon by a grizzly bear, in the
Burns Lake district, British Colum
bia, .H. C. Hughes, superintednet, of
minin goperations in that section for
the Consolidated Mining & Smelting
Company, escaped with his life, but
only by the narrowest margin, and it
will be a long time before he fully
recovers from the mauling which the
bear gave him. Hughes was proceed
ing from one oft he company’s camps
to another. when he encountered the
bear, and he had presence of. mind
enough to make believe, he was dead
when he.. found, there was no escape
from tha animal.. He had' just stepped
over a knoll when he found himself
almost on top of. the hear. The lat«
ter. U3 .much surprised, as tha man,
leaped to his. hind feet.and charged.
As he, struck,. Hughes slipped limp to
the ground. Biting Hughes severely
in the* aide of thfe-face, the bear next
caught him by the back of the neck,
bufadortunately did not close his jaws.
The. marks of the fangs, are still visi
ble, but thi£ wound Jb ncg .serious. A
finger was broken, but not bitten off.
A wound in the thign was made by
the bear’s daws. HugheB did not lose
consciousness at any time. For half
an hour the injured map laid there
' after - the bear Had ceased to maul
him.’. He could , not hear the animal,
but Kr feared, to even open his eyes
mi ease the hear should return. Fi
nally! having heard nothing moving,
Hlighes pluekily got on his feet and
startedifor .the nearest camp. It took
him eleven -hoars to get in.

said of “Kid” Brdwn, a former resi

“Poker is a popular game here. The
KWndikers play it often, with burnt
matches for stakes. There was one.
player here a few months ago, who
was- different. He came to the farm
as “Kid” Brown, erstwhile dance hall
prorprietor at Ya'dez. He was broke,
old and sick whn he got here—but he
still loved poker, and he used to play
daiy with the other burnt-match
gam filers. ‘Kid Brown's down, but
he won’t be out until the doctor
