Waycross, Ga., Special: Mr. J. D. Craven, of Hickory Hammock, in the Okeflnokee swamp, was here Thursday, and he told of many of his experiences with bears, deer, and wildcats in the swamp. ;He cultivates twelve acres of rich hammock land, and raises corn, sugar cane and' vegetables. He produces over a thousand pounds of meat every year. The farm is not fenced, but, as It is surrounded by 'jungles, it is almost secure from the approach of bears and other wild animals." Mr. Craven is 75 years old, and he has explored the swamp quite, thoroughly during the past fifty years. He killed a bear two weeks ago. Honey flows plentifully in Hickory Hammock, and Mr. Craven sells hides, honey and beeswax in large quantities. Mr. Craven has a wife, two sons and six daughters. His daughters are pretty. ' They are' good shots with a rifle, and they frequently hunt bears, deer and wildcats 4n the swamp. A large bear chased a hog Into Mr. Craven's yard a few weeks ago, and as he was about to seize his prey one of the Craven girls ran into the yard and poked the muzzle of her rifle almost into bruin's face. Bruin turned away from the hog and sprang toward Miss Craven. The plucky young lady did not give the bear a chance to hug her, but sent a ball through his heart. The bear fell at her feet and died.
