A Then there was the bear story, icported by some hunters in the Duncan area. It seems that Afton Olsen and Marlow Peterson saw a bear going up a trail across from them, and they decided to give chase. After following its trail for some time, they were surprised to find that it had reversed its direction, and loomed up as a huge black fortress in the trail only a few yards 5n heso of them. Afton shot the animal and although the couple didnt get their buck, they did come home with several hundred pounds of big Mack bear. Rubbing elbows with a man will reveal things about him you never suspected. The same is true of rubbing fetmlers. As the political campaign activities increase, and fur is really flying up state, we have been quite pleased with the calibre of the campaign here. Although there has thrown mud boon some white lure and there, with a few candidates teeing off on their opponent, the over-a- ll picture has been commendable. We especially liked the expression of one of the candidates, that when v hen they commented the campaign is over, they want to be able to look their opponents straight in the eye, with no bad conscience for some of the things tncy had said. It stands to reason, with some 12 contests to be decided by the voters at the polls on November 4 that there will be enough interest created without the use of the party is still young, end there will probably be a lot of dirty shirts in the wfash following the balloting.
