Strock. There was plenty of excitment in the hunt with the crafty old bruin leading a hide and seek game that kept veteran hunters nervous and on the jump for about four hours before they were near enough for a good aim. When the men hunted in the wood the bear would take to the fields, and vise versa, when the men stalked the fields the bear hid in the woods. He would' be seen by the men near the different stands for a second’s glimpse only to disappear in a twink ling from sight until the dogs routed him again from hiding. Those who saw the bear in action said that he went down the com fields knocking down rows in his stride akin to a young “blitzkrieg”, while slapping at dogs that knocked them fifteen feet away when he hit them with full force. Three hunters, Otto H. Strock, Emmett Hungerpillar and Emmett Ealiarp were the ones that were in on the Vili and fired the shots that still ed the big hulking form that went down with one low groan. Ballard fir ed the last shot when the bear came through brambles thrashing at the dogs about ten feet away from him. The bear was killed within a few hundred yards of the town limits. He was brought to town and the news spread quickly by the use of five ex citing Htle words, “Have you seen the bear?” Everybody in town turn ed out to look it over, and breathed a deep sigh of relief that this vic ious wild animal lurking so near the town had been brought to its death. The bear was skinned last nighlt and his beautiful black hide will be tanned and kept by Mr. Strock. The meat was cut into generous bear-steaks and given to those who came first for a share who wanted to dine on it to day. Though the bear was a large one, there were not enough slices to go around to those who wanted It. Mr. Strock whose large farm is lo cated between the towns and the San tee river, says that he has been both ered at different intervals for years with bears killing his pigs and young shoats. Within the past few weeks he had reason to believe that a bear had made away with eight little pigs from one litter, and only last year he lost a large number of good-sized shoats in a short space of time that led to proof that bears were making the kills. It is no unusual thing to see large bear tracks in the vicinty of the farms near the river. ‘SHINING VICTORY’ AT RITZ The attraction at the Ritz Theatre for Thursday and Friday of this week will be “Shining Victory”, a drama tic new dtory by A.
