Our correspondents and others are
reporting a big bear story this week.
1t seems that some hunter started up
a big bear somewhere in Lowell or
Belvidere, which crossed over through
Craftsbury and Greensboro, thence to
Black Hill in Glover, over Sheffield
Heights into Sutton, crossing the rail-
road near the Summit into Westmore,
alongside the mountains by the lake,
to be pursued later toward Island
Pond, where he was killed. The hunt
er who followed him from the Green
Mountain range gave up the chase to
rest a day or two, but resumed his
tramp until he killed the animal. 1t
is reported by some that the hunter
was none the less than the noted old
bear hunter, Curtis Brown of Belvi-
dere, who has killed in his life time
several dozen bears.
