AUTO IS WEAPON
AGAINST BRUIN
Minnesota Judge Tells Of En-
counter with Bear in Which
Automobile Won.
CAR WAS NOT DAMAGED
Animal, Stunned BY Impact b Shot
by Woman and Skin Saved
as Trophy.

For resourcefulness in adapting his
automobile to a game-killing enterprise
first prize undoubtedly belongs to Judge
W. A. Masters. of Chisholm. Mimi. who
recently, when confronted with the d.
lemma OF a big black bear in the road
way, utilized his car as q ram to bring
down the bear. wounding him so severely
that 1t was a comparatively easy matter
subsequently for Mrs. Ed Davis, wife Of
a neighboring homesteader. to follow the
animal into the brush and bring him
down with a well-directed rife bullet sent
crashing into the bears left eye.
Judge Masters declares that the excite
ment of the involuntary bear hunt and
the triumphant return to Chisholm with
the carcass hung over the hood of the
automobile caused the biggest kind Of a
stir In Chisholm, and afforded the hunt
ers, amateur and professional, plenty OF
May-day gossip.
Starting out Sunday. May II in his new
car, for Surgeon Lake. he had about
reached his destination. when, making
a sharp turn in the road. he suddenly
found his way blocked by the bear. At
the suggestion OF one OF his passengers
he decided to send the car ahead at high
speed and ram the bear.
I But for the animal making a quick
jump just as the car came down upon
him. bruin might have been knocked un-
der the motor. As It was the machine
struck him squarely In the side. both
wheels OF the left side of the car pass
ing over his body. The bear was unable
to show fight and the party proceeded
to the nearby homestead where the serv-
ices of Mrs. Davis were volunteered to
shoot the injured animal

the automobile as an efficient weapon for

AUTOMOBILE GOSSIP

Chief Engineer Robinson, of the Dis
trict Fire Department, on Monday last
left for Columbus, Ohio. to inspect the
plant OF the Seagrave Company. builders
OF fire apparatus. From there he expects
to visit the plant of the Aermes-Fox
Company, another manufacturer of mo-
tor-driven fre-fghting machinery. 1t Is
more than likely that he will inspect
the fire equipment OF some of the West
ern cities before returning. Washington
is displacing its horse-drawn equipment
with motor-driven machinery as rapidly
as Congress will appropriate the money,
and 1t is the hope Of Mr.. Robinson to
be able to do away with horses alto
gether within the next couple OF years.

Our Secret

The only way known to
make a faultless tire of
this type is byusing braid
ed wire bands in the base.
We use six of these
bands-126 wires. We set
them at certain angles.
Thus we make a tire which
nothing can force off, yet
a tire which doesn't hook
to the rim.
