Mr. Jansen, a stock-raiser there, having suffered from the depredations of the tribe of bruin on his stock, armed himself with a Winchester repeating rifle and large sheath-knife and resolved to slay the destroyer of his property, but in doing so lost his own life. He encountered a huge bear, and emptied one charge from his rifle, seriously wounding the bear, which immediately attacked him, and a terrific struggle between the two took place, Jansen using his knife vigorously, and the bear clawing and lacerating him severely. Jansen was so severely injured in the struggle that he was unable to return home, ana the next day he was found by two herders in his employ within a few yards of the dead bear. When found both his eyes wer e torn out, while his body presented other terrible and ghastly wounds. He was conveyed home and medical aid summoned, but he died before the physician arrived. —(Arizona) Journal,
