A son of John Magruder, re
siding at Elgin, Union County,
climbed a huge snag, several
feet in circumference, the other
day, and shot a bear which was
asleep down in the hollow of the
trunk. He discovered that the
bear was in the tree by the evi
dence of scratches around the
base. Bruin was fast asleep,
and six shots sent him to bear
Paradise. The young fellow is
