CHAMPION BEAR SLAYER
Samuel Day Of Maine Killed 253 by Ac-
tuaI Count. ~...,.--,.

tuaI Count. ~....,.-,, r.
Samuel Day, who for many years has
borne the distinction of being the cham
pion bear slayer Of Maine, is dead at
Machias. He was the father of fourteen
children, eleven of whom survive him.
AS hunter and trapper, Mr.. Day made a
record during his lifetime that probably
will never be equaled in Maine. During
his boyhood bears were very common
around Wesley, and his love for hunting
and trapping made him, while still a
youth, famous as bear hunter. He set
tied on Breakneck Ridge, in 1852, and
from that time until his sdeath he had
killed 253 bears by actual count. He had
no record of those killed previously. He
shot two this winter: Most Of his bears
were killed by rifle, altho he was very
skilful in the use of traps. For many
years he used a steel trap of his own
invention, which was never patented, but
was said to be superior to any on the
market. -,.} .s-5.... .sz-. -. i:
