Florence. Sept 3-James Wilson

fishing trip at the Forks OF Beaver

rience with a black bear which they
suddenly encountered on Little
Beaver. The fishermen were just
rounding curve in the creek when
they came upon his bearship who was
quietly lapring up water from the
creek
The bear was as much surprised as
the two men and he showed no vi
cious temperament. but on the con-
trary scampered away in the brush.
Neither of the men had gun. but
bfr. Wilson. who was anxious to get
another good look at the animal. made
his way in the direction in which It
ran and to his amazement encoun-
tered it a short distance away.
The bear. which by this time had be-
come thoroughly frightened. again ran
toward the creek. and passed close to
AR. Boettler a second time.
This was the last seen of the ami
NAL. notwithstanding MI. Wilson made
a thorough search when he became
convinced that the bear was not look
ing for trouble. The incident caused
considerable excitement among the
many fishermen along the creek, but
up to this time no casualties have
been reported.
