GAS The cit o f orse Ca ve, entuc , lies w thin a drought strick n area . But the inhabitants of the town are pra 1 that there won't be any rain too soon. The reason - forty-five thousand gallons of poisonous chemical stored ithin the city limit . It's the kind of chemical that turns into lew1site, when mixed with water. Lew1site be ng oreof the most dangerous gases used in chemical warfare. The chemical was purchased some months ago. It was stored 1n railrodd tanks. But then the Company that owned the chemical went bankrupt. So all that potential lewisite gas just lay thel'•e in the tanks.

Arritt is a cripple, confined to a wheel chair for forty years. B ut even so, he likes to go hunting 1th his friends. Last Sunday, they all went into the Butte meadows area, near Chico, Celifornia. Arrttt always remains in one spot. So his friends made him comfortable on a rubber cushion and wrapped up in blankets. He had a rifle and a bag of cartridges. The idea being, for him to watt for a deer to come within gunshot. Then the friends left to look for..._ ga-ne themselves. For two hours Br,an Arritt sat there without sightin g a deer. Then, he noticed something about sixty feet away - a big black bear, weighing some two hundred pounds. Arritt says that he'd spotted bears before, but never took a shot at them. ·T his time, he de c ided to fire. Here's how he BEAR - 2 - describes ilhat happen d: "I had four s hell in my gu n. The first one c a u gh t him in the s houlder, and he went down with a roar. Then he got up and chargefe. The next one hit axill him in the front le g . As he came down the bank, I got him just under the right eye. " But all those hits didn't stop the bear. H e lurched into som e trees by the roadside. Then Arritt fired his last bullet, hitting the bear in the hind leg. Even this didn't stop the beast. He got up and charged toward the hunter. What was Arritt to do then, with his gun empty ? .. 3tys he: "I tried to get my shell b91 open - but my hams were cold, and I couldn't work the a,-u tipper." So the bear came right up, snarling - and all the bunter could do was poke at hlm with the barrel of the gun. This stopped the animal - but didn't drive him off. As Arritt puts it, "he started to circle me. He'd come close, and I'd poke him off - and then he'd come close again."
