Show FiRht With a Bsar. The Evanaton Ace says that on the 24th ult. George Winegar, while out hunting on Smith's Fork, Bear river, came in contact with a large brown bear. Being in close proximity, proxim-ity, aud armed with a muzzle-loading rifle, he concluded that he bad not loat any such gams, but not so with Bruin, who probably being hungry, began to make hostile demonstrations, whereupon Mr. Winegar took deliberate deliber-ate aim and blazed away, wounding tbe animal. His only recourse now was to his hunting knile, which he plunged into the neck of the beast, and, as he did bo, the hand which clenched the kuile was seized by the boar and three of his fingers crushed, Winegar at the same lime receiving a terrible scratch nn the left cheek. Winegar went to Evanslon, where his wounds were d reused and two of bis fingers amputated. |
