Young Chicago Lad
Kills Brown Bear
camp toencounter Jimmie Brown
excited and breathless, demand
ing, ’’Where in —?— is the am
munition? A big brown bear is
trying to drive us out of camp.”
This was the boys chance to
show that hig skill in hunting
was not confined to killing rab
bits and ptarmigan, with which
he had kept the camp supplied.
Furthermore he demonstrated
that aim is more important than
the calibre of the gun, as he kill
ed the bear with a 22‘high-pow
er rifle. Capt. Hubrick, who is,
himself, a marksman of no mean
ability, says that young Mott is
is the about the best shot he ev
er saw for a boy of his age.
Mr. Mott »r., not wishing to
be outdone by his son, killed a
five year old brownie the next
daj.
Mr. Hubrick reports that they
have enjoyed perfect California
weather, with not a mosquito.
He also claims that Mr. Mott is
quite some doctor, but decided
ly partial, as he prescribed a stiff
brush for his (Cap.’s) neuritis
and not only prescribed, but ad
ministered a dose of Bourbon
for Jimmie Brown’s cramps. At
sight of the medicine, an epide
mic of cramps developed in camp,
but in vain; the bottle would not
reappear.
