An Indian Kills a Bear and the Bear kills the Indian.

Published in the Waukegan Gazette, Waukegan, Illinois on Saturday, February 11, 1860

     On Tuesday of this week an Indian hunter encountered a huge bear near Beef River Station, and the affray proved fatal to both. The Indian shot the bear, wounding him severely, and then rushed up, expecting to dispatch him with his tomahawk. Mr. Bruin “locked horns” with Mr. Indian, and a struggle for life ensued. The contest must have been a terrible one, as the beligerents were both badly maimed.-They were found a short time after, lying a few feet apart, dead.-Eau Clair [Wis.] Free Press.
