There was considerable excitement at
East Highlands Monday night, says the
Citrus Belt. when n prominent citizen
rode around about midnight calling out
his neighbors to help kill bear which
his dogs had freed. Quite a crowd OF
enthusiastic citizens were collected and
the crowd proceeded to a rocky cafion
where the dogs were gathered about e
tree making night hideous with their
frantic bowling. The men and dogs set
to work and finally succeeded in getting
the "bar" out of the tree, when bullet
from one of the many rifles in readiness
put an end to the life of his bearship.
The eager hunters gathered about to size
the bear up. There wasn't much said
when it was discovered that the savage
monster was only poor badger, though
there was probably some tall thinking
done. 1t isn't safe, we understand, to
saw "bar" to any of that crowd now.
