Published by The U.S. Cartridge Company of Lowell, Massachusetts:
“It is told of Ira Dodge of Cora, Wyoming, at the Sportsman's Exposition in New York, how he met a bear with results only less disastrous to the man than to the big grizzly. "Dodge is a typical Westerner, quiet, and the kind of man who is peaceable till he gets going, and then is like a wounded bull elk, a herd of mad buffaloes, a bucking bronco, a grizzly and some other animals that are fighters, all in one."
