After fol -lowing the trail for some distance they came on a large cedar tree which was hol. low,and between the roots there was a large hole, making an entrance up. into the tree, and fi�ndi,ng no track beyond this -they oon- ol�uded the bear was in the tree. Mr. Ken- nard immediately ran over to, the house of Mr, Mille, who lives near, and got a saw. He was also joined Joy Mr. Mills. On ar- riving at the tree Mills was going to chop t -he front while Plummer and Kennard were 90ing to saw the other side. Plummer was rubbing some tobacco in his hand, wh*'� a te Kennard wa's standing 'on a log ole ri 9 away some bra8h, Behind this log his rifle stood.
