The three animals were vic
TINS of a hunting party headed
by H. T. (Hack) Smithdeal of
johnson City, Tenn, who has
oeen coming to Eastern Caro-
lima for five years to hunt bear.
"Old Three Toes" got his
name about Is years ago when
he began his depredations in
Carteret county and the hunt
for him began. He was caught
in a trap and in the ensuing
battle for freedom, he lost two
toes Thereafter his tracks were
easily recognized and citizens
of the 50-mile area covered in
his raids constantly sought his
end. One farmer in particular
trapped for the entire 15-year-
period without avail, often sue
ceeding in getting the bear into
a trap, but always losing his
trap.
Mr.. Smithdea1, in relating the
story, said at least 80 traps had
been carried off by "Three-
Toes" who showed remarkable
canniness by walking On his
rear feet and holding the end
of the trap off the ground to
prevent entanglements which
might slow his progress when
a chase was on. Later on when
he had reached a secluded spot
out of immediate danger, the
bear would work the trap from
his feet in a more leisurely
manner.

NEW YORK, Nov. Is. -LT-
The United Nations assembly
voted 80 to II today to hold its
1913 session in Europe. Carrying
out of the decision hinges only
on approval of additional funds,
which most delegates expect
will be granted.
Britain spearheaded the op-
position and announced she
would carry on the fight. How
ever, Australia issued a post
vote statement switching her
backing away from the British.
Alexandra Parodi of France,
which is leading the drive for
the European meeting, called
attention in a statement to
Evatt's switch and appealed for
an unanimous vote when the UN
budget carrying the extra as
sembly appropriation comes up
for clearance. Russia and the
United States sided with France.
Before adjournment delegates
demanded a ballot on a pro-
posed meeting tomorrow, the
first Sunday session scheduled.
They voted it down, % to II,
and the next plenary. meeti n &
then was set for Monday.
The vote on going to Europe
for one year required only a
simple majority for passage and
provided that a nine = nation
committee would select the city
in Europe. Australia, White
Russia, Ethiopia, India, Leba-
non, The Netherlands, Norway,
Panama and Uruguay were
named to pick the site.
