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.
