A BEAR STORY.
Large Black Bear That Wou1d Not
C1imb q Tree.

Large Black Bear That Won1d MOI
Climb Tree.
News have reached town to
the effect that large bear was
killed Sunday near Harris. The
story is that one of the Ellsworth
boys while passing near the place
Of Caleb and Frank Davis, about
II miles from Corvallis, heard
Caleb's dogs chasing something
and guessed they were after a
bear, as one has been known to
have been in that section for
years. He went and told Caleb
of the fact and the Davis boys
took guns and started in COM
pany with Ellsworth. They
heard the dogs and Caleb and
Frank separated, Ellsworth go
ing along in the lead of Caleb.
Suddenly the bear was sighted
just ahead of them and Ellsworth
crouehed down in front of Caleb
as the latter had the rifle. Caleb
began shooting, and the first
shot struck the animal in the
shoulder. He showed fight and
came at them in a manner that
meant business. Caleb stood
his ground and continued to
shoot over Ellsworth's head un-
til he had fired some six or seven
shots. When the animal ex-
pired it was so close to the spot
where Ellsworth had crouched
that he could almost place his
hand upon it. The men state
that they were each considering
the matter of trying their legs
when the bear sank down.
It was found to be large
male bear and when they were
skinning it they discovered that
at one time it had been fred at
with a shotgun, as Its head was
full of buckshot. It had also
been in a trap at one time and
had lost one of its hind feet.
This is undoubtedly the reason
it could never be treed. It is
thought to be the bear that Jesse
Browns dogs have run so much,
but to Jesse's disappointment
could never be ''forced up a
stump"

our boys suffered defeat, the score

ter showing than was expected
the Corvallis team to make as they
were playing one of the best teams
of the state, and a team in better
practice than the team of Corvallis.
