not made.

Chases Bear With A Fly Swatter

Roseau-Up in the north part of the North Star
State they don't monkey with such animals as lions
and bears and tigers. Even the women are slightly
bored when black bear appears on the scene, and
a fyswatter appears to be the customary weapon for
dispatching Bruin One of the big black bears was
owsing around in pasture north of the Lars Jen-
sons barn Roseau recently Everything was
peaceful until Clinton and Junior Young came riding
by Spottng the bear, they jumped out of their car
and gave it chase. 1t headed for the Jensen farm
stead where it seen coming by jeanette Jensen.
The only weapon she could think of laying hands on
was fly-swatter and after Mr.. Bear she went! The
animal swerved and headed for the weeds toward a

come out but that the last seen of the animal.
Perhaps the bear afraid he was going to fall
victim to swat that fly" campaign.
