In April, 1881, on a flat near Hatch Wash, Ed Rowe, a cowhand drifting through the country, came upon a big, dun-colored longhorn steer sprawled at the base of some boulders. From the evidence, it had made a fighting stand against a bear. The steer had a good set of five-foot horns. One horn was smeared with blood several inches back from the tip, and both horns had claw and tooth marks upon them. The steers neck and shoulders were a mass of shredded flesh. One side of the lower jaw was crushed and almost bitten in two. The steer soon died. Reply
