One he biggest black bear
shot in Centre county \n many years
was bagged Wednesday of last week
by Ode Coakley and Donald Shaw
i Miles while th
hunting near what is known
Wat r Rock” near Yarnell
The huge bear, a male, weighed
450 pounds after being “hog dress-
ed.” and was seven feet in length
The men were together when they
saw the bear crossing an adjoin'ng
ridge. Both of them fired at the ani-
mal and it diopped in its tracks,
shot through the shoulder and heart
with the aid of a horse, the hunt-rs
dragged the bear to the road, loaded
it in an opened automobile trunk
and brought it to Belleforte where
it was on display at te Hipple im-
plement store on North Water
street.
Hundreds of persons, including
many school children, visited the
Hipple store to see the huge beast.
