pound bear, which a farmer killed Satur-
day on his farm in Onslow county.
The farmer, who brought the bear here
to SELL said he was out squirrel hunting,
his dogs freed, and when he came up to
the tree expecting to find squirrel, he
was surprised to find a bear instead. His
gun failed to fire twice and about that
time the animal descended from his posi-
ton in the tree and engaged in a fierce
fight with his dogs The bear then climbed
another tree nearby and he brought him
down with load of birdshot from his
muzzle-load gun. The experience was
rather an interesting one for the farmer
and his dogs.
