Meets Real Thing-Grizzly

NTEDFORD, Ore. Dec. 7.-Startled by the crash
IV1 ing of underbrush. Edison Marshall noted fiction
writer turned to meet the savage glare of n monster
grizzly bear.
Quick as flash. Marshall fired. The grizzly paused
for moment; then, enraged into greater
ferociousness by the sting of the wound charged.
Marshall put everything he had-ncluding prayer
into one more shot-the last he would be able TO fire
before the bear would be upon him. Luck was with
him, the bear fell dead at Marshars feet
And that said Marshall today, 10 a reporter for
The Star, is my answer TO your question whether IL is
easy TO write fiction"
Marshall is a writer who believes in getting material
