82 leap to one side over some logs, loading as he went. The bear was beginning to get sick by this time and when he went to turn his momentum was so great that he went on down the hillside where he wallowed around a while, then turned up his toes. This bear was almost black and must have been not more than 3 or 4 years old as we could cut his ribs into easily with one slash of the pocket knife. He was 6 feet 6 inches long. His neck was 12 inches thick, while his front paw was 7 inches wide. His forearm was 20 inches in circumference 2 inches below the elbow. His hind foot, including the claws was 13 inches long. His intestine was 72 feet long and 2 inches in diameter. We found when we skinned him that six out of the seven bullets had hit him. The gun was a 45-70. 1886 model Winchester.
