Felix Stovall has had to do a lot
of explaining since he returned from
a bear hunt on Toe River, in the
Mount MiWhell ranger district of
the National Pisgah Forest. His
trouble is that he had so many friends
along-, who were eye witnesses and
they all have more or less different
versions and interpretations of what
actually took place.
The party had treed a large size
bear, in an old hollow tree. The tree
had no commercial value, but since it
is against the law to cut anything In
the national forest, unless given per
mission from someone in authority,
they dared not touch it. One of the
party left the others to watch the
bear, while he searched for the rang
er who was nearby. The ranger came
to the rescue and gave his consent for
the tree to be cut down.
The party started with the axe,
each one taking his turn. Then it
was Felix's time to cut. The rest of
the party were scattered about some
fifteen or twenty feet away watching
the bear and Felix. They were
waiting expectantly, with guns ready.
Prof. A. J. Hutchins, of Canton, is
said to have had his camera ready to
get a picturo of the final round up of
the bear. Tho dogs were tied with the
exception of -one, which for some rea
son was loose, the others impatiently
waiting until the hunters gave the
signal to go.
Felix began to feel something fall
ing on the top of his head. He reach
ed his hand up and found his head was
covered with small pieces of bark.
Then he looked up he dropped his
axe, and developed enough speed
from what he saw to clear the ground
some twenty feet, before the rest of
the party took in what it was all
about that the bear was making
her way down that tree toward
Felix.
The rest of the party grabbed their
guns. Prof. Hutchins is said to
have focused his camera. The guns
missed. The film in the camera had
been put in backwards. The bear
seemed to be the only one prepared for
tho emergency. She took that hill
with the same speed that Felix left
the tree with the one lose dog holding
on to her, but she shook him pretty
soon, and continued her way, into the
woods free to put the fear of God
into another party of hunters.
What the bear left behind was a
party of old time experienced hun
ters, looking at each other with
evasive and accusing expressions.
They have ragged Felix ever since,
so the writer was told, though Felix
has explained over and over again
that his intention in getting away

The two women were driving alone
when a bear, evidently losing his
footing on a nearby hillside, landed
in front of their car. The women
were no more frightened than the
bear, so each party went their sep
arate ways in a hurry, the bear down
a zigzag path, and the women in their
car at break neck speed.
