The body Of a man has been found in the
woods, eight miles from Cheboygan, and
identified as that of Frank DevereauX, a
homesteader, who lived near by. The sur
roundings showed that he had been killed in
fight with a bear, which resulted fatally for
both, the body of the animal being found near
that of the man. Devereaux was sitting
| braced against log, where he had evidently
| placed himself after his contest with the bear
The mans face and legs had been gnawed
nearly to the bone, one shoulder was disloca-
ted, one eye gone and his abdomen torn open.
! The bear had been shot through the shoulder,
and aggravated by the wound had made a
fierce attack upon his assailant. The ground
was torn up for distance of twenty feet
around the spot, and the prints of the bear
teeth and lunches of hair were found on the
gun which DevereauX had used.
