hi: we can't even see a tree, let
Jone a squirrel at mat range;.
-A bear or two," say young fel
low my lad, "is nothing in the life
of Nook Hoomcll, but wncn tnese
animal awoop down upon him in
tlrovea, awarms, regimen in
armies, Nook begin to take notice.
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? .
