Indians Bears and Centipede Confront a Lone Prospector
A Montana frontiersman recounts a perilous Prospecting day near a deep ravine. A centipede crawls his arm while a grizzly bear stalks him and an attacking Crow Indian looms nearby. He escapes by forcing the bear over the ravine edge as a rifle shot from the Indian arrives. The tale ends with recovery and securing the bear hide.
