has been trapped by Homer Lyons
near Sucker pond The bear Is even
larger than the one caught last sea
son by Mr.. Lyons and had II been In
condition would have weighed 200
pounds.
The bear had not been In the trap
but few hours when Mr.. Lyons dis
covered that he had made a capture.
The bear had been caught by fore
foot which enabled II to use its hind
feet and walk away man fashion
through the woods and brush carrying
trap and clog with It.
The bear travelled nearly a mile
from the spot where II was trapped
and made hardly a trail, so little In
fact that Mr.. Lyons had considerable
difficulty in following the animal. He
passed the bear once at a distance OF
less than six rods bull regained the
trail and at last came up with the
animal and dispatched II with a rife
bullet through the head.
