POLAR BEAR.

KNIFE AND MALLET AS WEAPONS.

ATTACK ON ICE HUT.

News recently reached Vancou yer of a thrilling encounter be tween two members of the North

Mounted Police and an Weat angry, ravenous polar bear, which secured possession of their gun' during the fight..

During an 1,800-miles journey in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, Inspector Joy, Constable Taggart, and an Eskimo driver were camp- ing for the night. Asleep in their igloo, the trio were aroused by the barking of their tethered dogs. They knew it was a bear, and had no intention of interfering with
