I seem to recall reading in 1959 of the discovery of Sarber's remains & that of a large bear. The bear died of gunshot wounds & Sarber died from the bear's attack. The article said that an 1886 Winchester, cal .33 WCF and an S&W .38-44 Outdoorsman revolver were found with the remains. The rifle's magazine was empty and the cylinder of the revolver had 6 empty cartridge cases in it. It was one of those "use enough gun" articles found in the adventure magazines of the day.
