A Fishy
How the Caretaker of Lumber
Camp Used a Novel Trap
for Catching Bear
Saulte Ste.,lelarie, Ont—Mose Davis,
a 70 -year-old caretaker of a caaup for
the Searohntont Lumber Company, be-
lieves that when trapping bear,. if the
bear will not come to the trap, then
take the trap to the bear.
Mose keeps his meat in a lean-to
adjoining his bunkhouse, and of late
has been bothered by a bear which
sought the bacon. In desperation he
fas1,ioned a crude • trap of a good,
sound barrel, into which he drove long
spikes so that when the 'bear forced
its head inside, the spikes would catch
in its head and hold it. Hearing a
commotion in the early hours of the
morning, Mose visited his trap near
the meat house and found a big bear
at grips with his dog. As the two
were . engaged in combat, Mose ap-
proaclied with the barrel, and jammed
it over the animal's head, where it
stuck. e.
He says he heard more bear langu-
age lit a minute than he had ever
heard before in his life. The dog wor-
ried the bear down to the shore of
the Goulais River, -where it took to
the water, still wearing the barrel;
The current took' the animal, thus
handicapped, down stream and it fili-
ally went over a dans and was beaten
to death on the rocks below.
This is the story as it appeared in
recent mese dispatches. What we
would like to know is just how Mose
got that barrel over the bear's head
and what kind of a barrel it wase --
