FIRST BEAR OF THE SEASON.
Bagxed by Farmer Avery, Merely as = Mat.
ter OF PreCautiOn.

ANDES. n Y. Sept. l9-The first bear
of the season in the Catskills, a fat $50
FOUNDER of fine coat, was killed by Farmer
Abram Avery of Maltby Hollow, Ulster
county, last week. Farmer Avery de-
clares that ne did not bag the bear because
he cared particularly about getting it, but
merely because his children we're making
a great deal of complaint about its inter-
ference with them in the woods, where
they were in the habit Of going to play.
The bear had been hanging around
the locality all through The berry picking
season. and was also in the habit OF coming
impudently to the Avery premises and
helping itself to garden stuff and fruit.
This Avery did not regard as reason for
doing away with Brun, FOR he had plenty
of garden stuff, and fruit was simply going
to waste in his orchards.
But for the past fortnight the bear had.
according to the way the children looked
at it.. trespassed on their play preserves
with hostile intent. although Avery was
OF the belief that it was really there to enjoy
the frolics of the children.
few days ago, though they came hur-
riedly home with the report that the bear
had growled and shown it's teeth at them,
and 40 Farmer Avery abandoned his theories
and. as a matter Of precaution against
future possibilities, got bear trap, set it.
and the next morning found the bear in it.
He shot the bear, but declares that he hated
like everything to do it.

CUNNING FOR THE ANGLER.
Game Birds He May Have = Chance TO

No angler who cares for the crack OF
powder should go fishing upon woods lake
these days without shotgun in the boat.
Fishing may be bad but whether it is bad
or not he is likely to pick up several kinds
of game, lending zest to his outing and
variety to the camp table.
Wild rice in September always contains
things worth shooting. Its growth is the
home of all sorts Of water fowl. Though not
