Ripley in search of material for his “Believe It or Not ’ cartoon features, which reads as follows: j "I have recently learned that a man j by the name of John Williams of | your city walks like a bear. I should l like to use this in my "Believe It or Not” cartoons aud therefore should j appreciate your verification of the above, also a photograph of Wil liams, showing just how he walks." Many people of this city remem ber thenegro known as “Bear Man" who lived here about 22 years ago. He was known as Horace Williams and he walked about on his hands and feet, much as a bear. His legs were very short and it is said by those who knew him. that he was born without knee joints and due to deformity, his lower limbs ter : ruinated In nubs, somewhat resetn ! bllng the feet of a bear. When sta t ionary he could raise himself to a standing position by holding on to some object and could take a tew steps standing upright, but if hr had more than a few steps to take, he always walked on ail fours. It is said that the family moved away a number ot years ago to Virginia and it is reported that Williams died about 10 years ago. NOTH'*, Ot ADMINISTRATOR'S SALE OK UK ,41 ESTATE.

I chose last Saturday night for that hunt. It seemed to be mighty fine possum weather. The keen, bit ing wind was from the east, and; the North Star was as bright as the Farm Board, and the Milky Way had practically turned to clabber, and that foretold good possum news. They dearly love to ramble about on nights like that. I got to Cousin Bill's house about 6 o’clock, and sat around, thinking, of course, that supper would soon be ready. About 7; 30, Cousin Bill belched a lew times and said: ‘Them ham and eggs and sausages I had for supper ain’t setting well with me.” I asked him what time he ate supper: he said—“We allers eat supper before sunset.” That made me sick all over. After I was just about ready to go to sleep (10:30 p. m.), Cousin Bill made the statement that it was about time for possums to begin to prowl around for simmons anso forth, and suggested that we light out. He called his 3 old dogs, and out we lit. I asked him if he was* sent going part of the way in the car, and he said—"No, old fogy, come on.” We walked down through his 199 acre pasture, crossed 6 wire fences, entered a corn field and then turn ed to the left. I asked Cousin Bill to wait a minute till I tied my 2 shoes and pulled some briars and thorns out of my legs and hips. But he strutted right on at about 45 miles per hour. I hollered at him and asked him If there weren't some possums in his own state? (We were 23 miles from his home by midnight.)
