WAYCROSS EATING
BEAR STEAK AFTER
CHASE IN SWAMP

WAYCROSS, Sept. 27-A black
bear weighing between 800 and 400
pounds was killed in the Okefino-
kee swamp Monday morning by
Perry Barber
This bear has given the stock
raisers in the vicinity of the swamp
a great deal of trouble for a long
time, and has probably crippled up
more dogs than any bear ever kill
ed in this section.
About a. m. Robert Pittman
heard one of his pigs sqeal and
while he knew what the trouble
was he didn't make an investiga-
tion until daylight, when he found
that one. of his hogs, weighing
about $50 pounds had been killed
and carried several hundred yards
into the woods. He Immediately
got in touch with Mr.. Barber, who
keeps a pack Of fine, well trained
bear hounds, and in a short time
the chase had begun.
The bear was overtaken after a
chase Of nearly two miles into the
swamp. Although he was shot five
times with an automatic loaded
with buckshot, it was necessary to
cut his throat wit ha knife before
he was stopped from fighting the
dogs.
Mr.. Barber is the son Of the late
Obodiah Barber, better known as
the "King Of Okefinokec" and has
has killed more bears than any
man in this section if not the en-
tire United States.
