The bear is also alleged to have eaten part of the body of his vietim, While there is divergence of opinion among woodsmen regarding the probability of a bear devouring a human prey, the facts will never be positively known, although the circum- stances point to this unusual occurence. The story as reported states that A. Waino set out from his home to lay a trap line, armed with a .303 sporting rifle, a small hand axe and a hunting knife. His wife, a young Finnish girl, lately over from the old country, and nervous, set out alone a little way up the trap line. She returned expecting her husband would come back the next day. But by Wednesday he had not returned, and his wife becoming really alarmed, went to the English River station to get together a search party, ~hich made up of Waino's relatives, ~et out Thursday and following the trap line, came upon the bear by the side of the body. Hearing voices, the bear looked up and like a flash leapt up and madly 'harged the party, who swiftly took aim and fired. The first two bullets "ailed to stop the animal's charge; the third proved more effectual, and the huge black body dropped a huddled mass just a few yards from them. It was a miraculous escape. It is thought that Waino while bend- ing over setting his traps, was sur- prised by the stealthy approach of the bear from behind and that the animal closed before he had a chance to use his gun. When the body was found he hand axe, blood stained, was lying some distance away, and the hunting knife which had been drawn from its sheath and had obviously been used by Waino in self-defence, was missing. On the man's body were scattered tufts of black bear's hair. The body was badly torn and mutilated at the exposed por- tions, particularly about the head and shoulders. And there in the clearing, only a few miles from his home, the trapper had fought a lone, desperate battle. Signs showed where man and bear had rolled together on the ground while the in- furiated brute ripped his victim with terrible claws and crushed him with his great weight and strength. The huge animal, measuring 14-in. from the tip of its nose to the top of its head, had a number of porcupine quills stuck in its neck and face which had driven it furious. It was gaunt, and looked as if it had not eaten for many days. These facts are thought to account for the attack in the first place and its having eaten the body. Waino's funeral was held Monday afternoon from the residence of his mother in Fort William. srocery Snaps LEE hefty service now, but nearly half a in Montreal. ED PITT, Ltd. DRYDEN, Ont.
