turning today in a touring car from
northern Maine toward Bangor While
in the town OF Lagrange, twenty-eight
miles north of Bangor, the car going at
the rate of thirty-fve miles an hour
was running down a steep hill at the
foot Of which the road, thickly border
ed with bushes, turned sharply to tie
right.
just as the car reached the turn Mr..
Hopkins, who was driving, was start
ed to see a big bear break out of the
bushes a little way ahead and start
directly across the highway, There
was no time to slow down and Hon
lns had lis choice of two things
ditching the car with the risk cf
smashing it and injuring all hands. or
striking the bear.
He decided to take a chance with the
bear and an instant later, while the
women of the party shrieked in ter
ror, the big car hit Bruin suuarely
amidships. Mr.. Hopkins had expected
that the force of impact would toss
the bear to one side, but something
quite different happened. The bear, a

grunt and Ieaped over the hood of tire
car, growing and scratching. and in
that manner was carried along for
calf a mile until the car struck a
Jounce in the road and gave jump
that bounced the bear off.
The animal feel under the rigbt
wheel, thus turning the car into the
ditch. The occupants were not at al
injured and the car, only slightly dam
aged, was soon righted with a lack
Meanwhile the bear. which had been
dazed by the blow, had got upon his
feet, turned a few dizzy circles and
Waddled off into the woods. The party
resumed the trip to. Bangor, halted
here for luncheon and slight repairs
to the car, and proceeded on their way
to New York.
The women of the party had never
seen a pear before and were bad1
frightened. 1t was big and fierce look
