The greatest of them all, "Old One Toe," measures 8½ feet from nose-tip to tail-tip, and weighed between 1,200 and 1,300 pounds. The bear, which lost the other four toes on his right hind foot in a trap in 1902, fell before the automatic rifle of Arch A.

Campbell trailed him all day, after the first shot, before he was able to come up with him for the final battle, which was of short duration. Campbell's progress out of the woods was a triumph.  At the march, as all the cat
