Then, thi naturalist goes on: "Nook has never had any quarrel with bears. In fact he likes them. He says they are less deceiving than the animal called man. You always know where the bear stands and what he is going to do next, but when dealing with humans you are up a tree." Here' What Happened. Well, anyhow, this is what hap pened, according to Monticello Mike, the correspondent: Nook and his nephew, Sam Brass ington, found some tracks in the snow, b'ar tracks. A b'ar came out from under a ledge of rock. "Bam. said Nook's gun and the b'ar was dead. There was a "snort and a roar," and out came another. Again "Bam!" and a second casualty in, the Ursus family. But after that "A big bear leaped out, frothing at the mouth, growling like a flivver in distress and eyes filled with hate that meant death to the man that came within striking distance." Nook, ' so our , correspondent swears "fired four shots into this bear' carcass before she yielded and fell over in a death struggle and there lay the three carcasses in a pile, the fight having lasted less than five minutes."' ... The last words of the Monticello man's dispatch, we fear, provide what is colloquially termed the tip off. He wired: , ' "Two of the bears weighed near '1y 200 pounds each and the mother over 300 pounds. Cannot obtain pic tures." . v , What we'd like to know is, why not? .
