Bryson City, N.C., Nov. 27—The prize bear story of the season comes from Ocona Lufty, this county, where Lee Gibson reports a narrow escape from a 30-pound bruin. Gibson lost a cow in the mountains, trailed her into the wilderness and came upon two cubs and an old bear feasting on the carcass of his cow. The mother-bear charged him but was intercepted by Gibson’s hound dog, who attacked the brer’s flanks and covered the hasty retreat of his master.
