BEARS ROAM UNAFRAID
AT STUMPY POINT
By A. G. L. STEPHENSON

Since bear was shot a few
nights ago at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Floyd Hooper as he was
making a raid on a garbage can
and went off wounded, it was hop
ed by Stumpy Point citizens that
the nightly visits of bruin would
not be so frequent as has been re-
Gently the case. These visits, how
ever, are still being made.
A chicken house was raided one
night recently at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Ed Midget and chickens
valued at around $500 were
carried off. The next night the bear
was shot at as he came back to
eat some of the dead chickens he
had covered with an old sack and
with straw.
The bear was first seen by Mrs.
H. E. Best near her back door.
Bear tracks are also being seen
in gardens and yards.
1t is thought that hurricane
Barbara had blown the berries
from the bushes forcing the bears
to seek food at the homes.

IS Ex-CHAMP LOUIS REALLY MARRIED?
EX-CHAMP JOE LOUIS
IS OR Amt MARRIED?

CHICAGO - Asking for
pair o tickets for the Gavilan-
Bratton fight, Joe Louis told
Truman Gibson, secretary of the
international Boxing Club, that
he, Louis, was married to Greta
Starks, a Detroit girl. Gibson
announced it to the press.
Later, both Louis and Miss
Starks laughingly denied it, Joe,
it seems, was trying to get
front row seats for the fight.
1t was just a gag" Joe sad
he "only got third row seats
anyway"
The explanation found ready
acceptance. One of the nations
number one bachelors is still
on the loose. Joe amt married!
Reports this week state that
Joe wasn't kidding; that as a
matter of fact, he and Greta
did tie the knot. Joe is said
to have told newsmen after the
fight that he married Greta in
Hamilton, Ontario, last Tues
day. Then it's so; Joe has wed
again. Or has he?
Louis's first wife was Marva
Trotter. They were married in
1887, divorced in 1945 and a
year later remarked and finally
divorced in 194o.
