Bear Is Killed Near
Red Oak Yesterday

Two Coon hunters of the Kempton-
Red Oak section ended up with a
black bear to their doubtful credit
yesterday morning. There is a closed
season on bear in Maryland.
The bear was being exhibited yes
terday afternoon on the streets of
Oakland by Game Wardens Lloyd
Cook and Leo Friend Weighing about
ITS pounds it was thought to be a
wo-year-old.
Cook related the events as follows:
Frank Hoffner, IS, and Lipscomb
youth were coon hunting and freed
what they thought was a coon. The
animal descended the tree and headed
in the direction of Lipscomb. Both
hunters thought the bear was prepar-
ing to attack Lipscomb who yelled
to his companion to shoot-and he
did.
Hoffner reported the incident, but
will necessarily be given a hearing on
charge of killing bear during a
closed season. Cook said the hearing
would be held Friday before Magis-
trate H. A. Loraditch, and that he
did not intend to press charges, since
the youth thought he was saving the
life of his companion and that he
voluntarily reported the event
