Top Peak of Ashland Butte
When They Met Bear.
ASHLAND, Or., May 22 As a
sequel of an unexpected encounter
with a big brown bear by a quintet
of Ashland normal juniors while on
a trip to Ashland Hutte a few days
ago, the nonnar lonnitory students
hijve been living high on bear meat
this week.
The partv of five juniors, headed
by Fd Kerby, with Sanford Stone,
Ned Culey, Robert Bagley hud How
ard Fox, as companions, hiked out
from the normal campus with their
blankets and provisions on their
backs to scale the summit of Ash-
laud liutte and plant the junior col
ors on the topmost pinnacle. One
gnu was taken along for protection,
and the trip upward was made with
out incident save for an encounter
with a firce snowstorm and blizzard
at the -ummit. N'cxt morning, after
crossing the summit, the boys decided
instead of taking the forest reserve
trail'lor home to cut across the moun
tains straight for the norma!.
After going some distance in the
storm, (hey stopped, built a fire ami
were standing about diving their
1 clothes, when a big brown bear sought
to dispute their title to the campt'ire.
: Culey. who first espied bruin, look
j the gun and fired at him. hut only
wounded the animal, when Kerby
came to the rescue and put a shot
through bruin's head and dropped hint
in his tracks. He had apparently not
been long out of winter hibernating,
for he was sleek and fat and his coat
of brown a fine one. The carcass
dres-eil snnu 'till) pounds and was
cached safely while the boys mudt
their way back to the campus, re
turning with reinforcements p, carry
bruin in pieces to the commissary
depa rtmenl at the school.
