Advertisements I The Hailyeburian last week says:â€"â€" 9' “Haileybury people are beginning to [realize that bears are plentiful in the ,environs of the town and these ani- 3mals are getting quite familiar. In laddition to the cub written about in another column. another bear of a quite respectable size is reported as having been seen yesterday afternoon, right in the middle of the town. It was sighted at the rear of the Mata- ‘banick Hotel. where it was evidently in [search for something to eat and made off when an attempt was made to cor- ner it. Just why the bears are runn- ing around at this time of year is something of a mystery. It is gener- ally believed that they den up for the winter when the first cold spell comes. iPerhaps this is going to be an excep- xtionaliy mild winter. or it may mean ialmost anything else. Later reports are to the effect that this bear was seen during the afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Taylor Pipe. .where he had caused some consternation. Mrs. Pipe telephoned Chief of Police Mac- Girr, who with W. S. Blackwell and another man, tried to capture the ani- mal, which had taken refuge under the verandah. From there he broke his , way through a window and an attempt [was made then to get a rope around. his neck, but the animal broke his way through another window and escaped; It was tracked towards the lake and it. is presumed that this was the same: bear that was seen later at the Mata- banick. There appears to be somei [doubt as to the size of the animal. Some of those who saw it state it was a few months old, while others guess its age at a year.
