MEETS SUDDEN DEATH
' Complaint has been made that con
siderable dynamite has recently
. come up missing which was to be
used on -the road between this place
-and Winchester bay In blasting out
"stumps, etc. Numerous bear signs
have also been seen near by where
the dynamite was kept until ready
for' use, 'but no one thought about
'bears eating the' explosive, but it
seems as If they did and were the
fellows whOf were getting away with
it. : ' ,
Last Sunday morning bright and
early. Herb Butler and Wm. Boak.
who had been givert the tip as to
where Mr Bear hid away during the
day, started out to capture bruin
dead or alive. lArrivlng at what is
known as the Decker Point farm,
two pups which they had taken along
' for. protection In case of a hand to
hand fight with the bear, started the
bear out of the 'brush. A general
fusillade (from the high power rifles
followed. The bear "being at quite a
distance, several shots were fired.
Suddenly during, the excitement an
explosion was heard coming from,
the direction of the bear. Going'
to the pojit where the bear was seen
the hunters found the .remains of
the animal badly mutilated, and ui0n
investigation It was found that a
glancing ball from one of the rifles
had struck the animal In the stom
ach and "caused the. dynamite which
the bear had recently eaten to ex
plode, killing It Instantly. It would
be a dangerous act tor any bear
hunters to go Into tho woods near
the Winchester bay road and kick a
'bear put of Its nest Just now.
