THE UCUMAR

It is said that previous years, were found very near the houses, in a dry stream that goes to a gulch between two high hills, narrow gulch, sling, a rake of feet of bear without a doubt, but big, that would make believe in a bearman. Screams were heard in the high of the hills some that other nights, screams that some say to hear until the present when the wind is favorable. Then this belief was reinforced with another that circulated. A man had walked for the field, like they call, "campeando", this is, amid mounts and high hills looking for animals. They say that he came close on the stream to drink, felt to bark to the dogs that accompanied him, when he saw a being similar to a man with the long hair. That covered him the face. The man connects it and it mounted the horse, but the connected character began to throw the knot in such a way and with so much force that the man feeling lost, took out the knife and cut the knot. The bear that we will say this way, pursued him a lot of distance, arriving ours pursued to the houses without encouragement and without the mount that had lost in his desperate escape. Another time the dogs had surrounded another as this, but he does not escape, he sat down, and he defended of the dogs that surrounded him.
