Bears Raid a Corn Field.

Not since the pioneer days of Wetzel
and Boone has there been such a
wholesale slaughter of bear in Virgins.
as has lust occurred in the suburbs OF
Mcdowell, a small town in Highland
county. The boldness of the big game
Is due to the almost entire absence OF
mast which has forced all kinds OF
game to seek food in the open fields;
Mr.. A. H. Jones went to his corn held
about half mile from Mcdowell early
on Saturday morning, and was sur
prised to find four bears helping them
selves to the corn. He hurried back
to the village, and in brief time the
greater part of the male population
V Was at the corn field, when it was
found that bruins ranks had been re-
enforced by four others, making eight
in and around the field. Two OF them
were quickly shot, FIVE Of the cubs
taking to trees close by, and the eighth
supposedly the mother Of some OF the
cubs, made for the mountains. The
five were soon brought from their IN
secure retreat in the trees, which made
a total of seven killed. At last ac-
counts party was in pursuit OF the
eighth. The she bear killed was an
unusually large one, and the cubs
would weigh perhaps seventy-hve
pounds each.
