Miss Ruth M. Southland has re-
cefved letter from her cousin
Fred s. Smith, St. Paul, which
gives some Of the experiences OF
the family while camping in the
north woods last summer. While
In camp, black bears came to raid
the garbage cans, located at Two
Harbors. There were four cubs
and a mother bear which stayed
with them from midnight until NOR
ming. AS soon as the auto horns be
gan sounding and the headlights
OF the cars were turned on, the
cubs went up trees and the motheT
bear would not leave them until
they came down.. which was al
most sunrise. Everybody got up
and dressed and stood at a respect
full distance from the old bear.
| The town marshall was called and
he summoned the deputy game
warden, who came with repeat
ing shot gun and remained on
guard until morning. About day
| light the old bear coaxed three of
the cubs down and started off for
the woods. Mr.. Smith tried to get
near enough to take a picture OF
her but she saw him and stood up
on her hind legs, at about fifteen
| feet distance, Mr. Smith says that
she was taller than he is and look
ed about eight feet tall that way.
The cubs scampered into the woods
and she turned and followed them.
That left one cub up a tree In the
camp and working from 1870 am.
to 1880 the people in the camp fin
ally succeeded in catching him. A
moose was made out of a tow rope
and the game warden borrowed a
blanket which he threw over the
cub and carried him away
