"The next thing - what to do with the little ones? Brother Bulloch said he had heard that little bear meat was just the same as little pig, and he wanted to try some, so we tied their hind legs together and put them just in front of the saddle on the horse. I was riding a very large tall horse- his name was "Idaho Bill." This was just a little before sundown, so we struck out for a place to camp for the night. We decided to go to a deep can! on about a mile and a half away. We thought we might get some feed for our horses in the holton~ the canyon. Brother Bulloch of took lead and I was following up with the little bear, with heads hanging down on either side of the horn -blood dripping from the bruises I had made with the rock. While riding along I hegan to wonder about sleeping with those little cubs in our c:tnip - the mother could easily follow our trail by the blood that was dripping all the way.

We came along fine until we got out of the canyon on to what we called the plain. Here we encountered four feet of snow on therevel and our horses could not make it at all, so we didn't know what to do.
