Treed by a Large Bear 
Jerry Logan, of Wildwood Springs, Has a Narrow Escape While Hunting a Stray Heifer

Jerry Logan of Wildwood Springs had a most harrowing experience with a huge black 
bear recently.  Black bears are not numerous in the vicinity of Wildwood Springs as is 
well known, but Mr. Logan encountered one of the largest specimens seen in this vicinity 
since the old days when the animals were plenty.

Mr. Logan went out into the woods to hunt a yearling heifer which had strayed away.  
He wandered through the woods for some time, calling for the heifer, but without 
success.

According to his story he was walking slowly along a forest lane when he was suddenly 
confronted by a black bear.  The animal was tremendous he thought and he 
immediately made for a tall, slender sapling nearby.  He succeeded in getting up about 
six feet to the only large branch on the tree.  The bear scrambled after Logan. Failing in 
its attempt to climb the tree, the bear shook the sapling with such force that it was all 
Logan could do to keep his hold.

Just about the time Logan had given up hope, a wandering shoat in the woods nearby 
grunted and the bear, taking a long chance, made after the hog.

Logan clambered down and broke all sprinting records from that spot home.

The bear has not been seen since, although a number of men have been searching for 
it.

Will Marry His Wife Again 

Altedrande Berardi and his wife are to be married at Spangler within the next day or so. 
The couple were married in Italy some months ago, a church ceremony being 
performed.  But owing to the fact that the Italian government does not recognize any 
but a civil ceremony, the man and wife had determined to be civilly married in this 
country.  They desire to protect their posterity in the matter of their inheritance. The 
husband owns a $10,000 farm near Spangler.
