/ La Grande Observer: Several
society women and girls yesterday all
but climbed the tall trees at Beaver
/ Creek intake in a wild seamper to get
away from bear that invaded the
cooking quarters at the intake in broad
daylight. The size of the bear is
vaguely described as something enorm-
Gus, the enormity depending somewhat,
it appears on the nearness of women
to the predatory animal which crept
silently but not very ferociously upon,
the party about to embark in automo'l
biles for La Grande after spending the
day at the intake headquarters.
Several auto loads of people were at
the intake and all were about to leave
when n general bear alarm was turned
in A bruin had been attracted, no
doubt, by odor from the kitchen cess
5 pool near the camps and he was dis
covered by one Of the party of men
4 and women. While the women, and
9 some of the men it is said, started for
: La Grande afoOt, instanter two boys
f who had been hunting for bear all day
n and had Just returned, opened fire and
G wounded Mr.. Bear but he made his
+ getaway and when last heard of was
;, still at liberty, though he left trail
r of blood along Cove Creek. Those
