BEAR ATTACKS SHEEP TENDER Rends His Clothing and Flesh and Leaves Him Unconscious. Last Friday night, about eleven o'clock, Joe Lucas who was at tending one of Harry Pence's sheep camps out near Rock Flat was awakened by the stampeding sheep, and hastily pulling on his pants and a pair of rubbers, rush ed out into the dark to see what the commotion was, when he land ed fair up against a big brown bear, with a couple of cubs. He was unarmed, but he fought for his life and he fought her the bes he could, while his two dogs put the two cubs to flight. The mother bear finally left the young man to look after her young and Lucas, supposing she had gone, started to round up his frightened charges, only to be unexpectedly attacked — again. This time he was badly scratched about the head, face and breast He was felled to the ground and, almost exhausted, fought as best he could. He endeavored to protect his eyes and was badly mangled about the stomach and abdomen. The bear again left her victim who, turn and bleed ing attempted to crawl to his tent. The infuriated animal again returned to the attack and when she left her victim was helpless and unconscious. How he escaped from the un equal fight with his remnant of life and flesh, is a mystery: to all, for the calf and thigh of his right leg are about all gone, his right side was ripped open to the in testine, his right breast horribly mangled, his scalp from near the forehead to back of head loosened, the muscle and flesh of left arm chewed and torn, his left wrist broken, and he was scratched all ,over, Joe can better be describ ed by the expression, *‘shot-au t’ell”. He was found 18 hours after his struggle at the main camp, a quarter of a mile away from the scene of the fight which, not probably may save his life, as he would not have been found. Mr. Pence had the wounded man removed to Meadows and proper ly cared for. He is reported as getting along splendidly under Dr. Martin's careful noursing.— Meadows Eagle and Lardo Pro gress, at the Cascade Ice Cream par lors, Garden hose, sprays, nozzles ar sprinklers at Chester Arn old’s.
