Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

     To walk right up to a monster bear and try to shove it out of the way and then escape without so mush as a scratch is an experience of a lifetime. Harry I. Engelbright found it so a few days ago in Diamond canyon, above Washington, Nev. The young man, son of Congressman Ebgelbright, has just returned from the upper country, where he has been doing some surveying, and relates his thrilling experience. It was coming on dusk at the close of the day’s work. In the brush lined trail he saw protruding what he thought were the hind quarters of some stray bovine. He walked up and gave the brute a shove. It came to its haunches with a snort that made his hair rise and caused him to beat a hasty retreat. The big brute looked around and then shuffled off into the woods.
