This story, “Dark Tragedy,” appeared in the February 1963 issue of Outdoor Life. Henry Heydweiller, a rancher living near me on the North Fork of the Dearborn River south of Augusta, Montana, spent the last Saturday in September of 1947 in the hills above his ranch hunting a sheep-killing bear. For Josif Chincisian, a wiry little Rumanian [sic] who had herded sheep for my family for 24 years, that apparently was a lucky circumstance, though in the end it didn’t make much difference to him.
