Williamston, Nov. 30—Simon P. Roberson of Griffin’s township has the championship among bear hunters of Martin County. He bagged two bears in one week.
On Monday Mrs. Nick Daniel saw a bear go ambling by her home in leisurely fashion and then attempt to crawl over a wire fence nearby. She telephoned to some neighbors and they came with dogs and guns and began the chase, which Mr. Roberson soon ended with a single shot at bruin.
Tuesday night, Messrs. Roberson and W.C. Whitley were coon hunting near the place the bear was killed. In a few minutes after their arrival the dogs were on the trail of a coon, so they thought, and had him “tree’d” in a few minutes. When the men arrived, they saw not a coon but a big black bear “a setting up the tree.” Again, Mr. Roberson shot once and the second bear was added to his list.
