The fifth and last report came in
about o'clock in the afternoon. It
was from another farmer After
making sure that Mrs. Bowser was the
person he sought he went on to say:
Il was feeding the sheep in the field
back of the barn, when caught sight
of a strange man wading through Two
feet of snow in my direction. He was
following the tracks of a romping calf
and seemed considerably excited.
1.-The tracks bent around to where
I was standing, and thus the man I'M

first words he uttered was to ask me
if the bear had taken refuge in the
haystack He held his gun ready to
fire. and was on what folks call the

let no guilty bear escape.
