The biggest bear story of the whole |
season, and for many seasons back as
far as that is concerned, is told by r.
G. Still. who returned last Saturday |
with Louis Harder, Claude Still and |
his nephew, Fred Still of Portland, |
from a hunting and fishing expedition |
on the headwaters of the south fork /
o. the Walla Walla river.
Mr.. Still brought back the hides of !!
two bears, an old one and a cub, to |
pIONt his SlOIN, WHICH, Is one VI lHe /
most unique in the hunters history of !
this part of the country.
While travelling on the north back |
Of the river near the timber line !
about five miles east Of Elbow can
yon, Mr.. Still jumped upon a flock of
three,-an old one and two cubs. He
was carrying a double barrel Parker
shot gun and let the old bear have
the first barrel. His aim was deadly
and Mrs. Bruin stirred not after the
fatal shot. The gun was then train
ed on the flying cubs and the second
barrel proved the waterloo" for one
Of the young ones also.
While Mr.. Still is partial to the
Parker" and wouldn't trade for
pump gun, he nevertheless believes
that had he had another barrel he
would have landed the third one
