MONDAY & TUESDAY
410-POUND BLACK BEAR SHOT
AFTER EXCITING CHASE
Elloree, July 9.—“We killed a bear”
was demonstrated! in truth here Mon
day afternoon when twenty-five
huntsmen shouldered their guns and
rushed to the edge of the town where
they staged a big game hunt that net
ted a large 410-pound black bear in
response to a call of alarm that a
bear had been seen walking across a
negroe’s yard on the farm of Otto H.
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.

remember him for his fine perform
ance during the Sesqui-Centennial
celebration three years ago. He has
won contests at Lexington and Cha
pin and has also had some radio ex
perience. During the winter and 1
spring of 1940 he appeared every
Tuesday afternoon on radio station
WCOS (Columbia) as singer.
During his visit at the Chamber
of Commerce office yesterday, Jack
showed that he is really confident and
optimistic about his chances next
week at Folly Beach. However, he
appeared in all respects a modest but
charming young man, of looks and
personality which will serve as
further equipment in any profes
sional career he undertakes.
Without a doubt, when Jack leaves
next Wednesday, he will know that
the confidence and good wishes of the
“City of Friendly Folks” and the en
tire county go with him.
