The third day he was well started diagonally 

 down the wall of a canon. I naturally concluded 

 that he would on this course descend to the bot- 

 tom and there continue down-stream. Instead 

 of doing this, he stopped at a point about mid- 

 way down for a long stay. Then from this place 

 he pointed his nose up-stream and descended 

 diagonally to the bottom of the canon. At the 

 bottom he again made an acute angle to ascend 

 to the top of the opposite wall. 



The last three days of this pursuit he knew 

 that I was following him, but there seemed to 

 be no change in his tactics. He simply moved 

 a little more rapidly. Though well acquainted 

 with grizzly habits, I was unable to anticipate 

 his next important move, and he defeated every 

 plan I put into operation. 



For several years an outlaw or cattle-killing 

 grizzly terrorized an extensive cattle-grazing 

 section in the mountains of Utah. For months 

 at a stretch he killed a cow or steer at least every 

 other day. He would make a kill one day and 

 on the next would appear across the mountains, 

 forty or more miles away.
