HYPNOTlzED THE BEARS.


A Story Which Newsome Believes Becaus,
Anderson Is Cross Eyed.
J. E. Newsome is Port Arthur Ca
madam and Alex Anderson comes from
Pearl River, An Englishman named
Atwell wanted to get q bear, and An
derson tried to crafty his desire.
Nowsome told Forest and Stream about
it. Atwell was the kind of man who
would like to kill bear in a trap, sc
Anderson took two bear traps and lot
of bait up gully near Ouimet, looking
for sign. The Englishman went look.
ing for bears and left Anderson to set
the traps.
All Of a sudden big she bear ap-
peared before Anderson at the foot of q
tree between a couple Of whose roots
one trap was TO have been set. Not hay
ing any gun, Anderson. so Newsome
says, determined that hypnotic force
had to be used ard that suddenly. An
derson looked the bear in the eyes, and
the bear paused; then Anderson made
three passes with his hands. The bear
leaned its head forward and its eyes
bulged out Having satisfied himself
that the bear was properly Influenced,
Anderson yelled for Atwell, but Atwell
was good way off, and before he could
arrive the she bears 2.year-old and
yearling cub camo out of the tree at the
same time. A yearling cub alone would
be pretty bad fighter atclose quarters,
especially with hypnotized mother
bear near by liable to come to at any
moment, but 2-year-ol cub and a
yearling both at once made a mighty
serious matter.
But Anderson was fully equal to the
emergency. He managed to look at the
bears four eyes at once and soon had
them subjugated. Newsome says that
he would not have believed Anderson's
talc only Anderson is now cross eyed,
which he wasn't before, owing to his
looking both bears in the eyes at once.
