SHE BEAR CHASES
MONROE PHILLIPS
In Attempt to Capture Cub.
Man Is Attacked; ‘Big Bear
Hunt on at Phillip's Planta
tion Thanksgiving.
*
Monroe Phillips holds positiie
proof that bears are pleniful on
his plantation as is. shown in this
article below reproduced from the
Macon Telegraph.
It may t>e to the honor of a family
to have a dead hero to eulogize, or
even a living one bearing ghastly
scars received in valorous combat,
but there’s one family in Georgia
that will never eulogize one of its
members, if he can help it, and the
member mentioned is Monroe I hi 1 -
lips, who attacked by a female bear
in the swamp near his home, to the
south of Macon, Wednesday after
noon, reasoned that discretion is
the better part of valor, and that he
didn’t like bears anyway and tied,
posthaste, from the woods.
Mr. Phillips wasn’t in the neigh
borhood of the female hear on what
may be termed a strictly honorable
mission, and, therefore, he says he
hasn’t any particular kick coming,
lie went to a spring near one of his
pastures to get a drink of water,
but instead of quenching his thirst,
confronted by two cub hears lapping
water at his spring, gave chase and
caught one of them after running
several hundred yards.
According to Mr Phillips, hunters
of the Dark Continent, pioneers of
the American frontier, or even the
Boys in Blue that face each day the
perils of the Philippines haven’t
anything on him. W hen Mr. Phil
lips nabbed the cub, the cub let out
a squeal that would well compare
with a full grown siren, and forth
with there was a responsive growl
just behind him. Mr. Phillips
wheeled around and was confronted
by the biggest lump of grouchiness,'
he says, he ever saw in the shape
of a femaie bear,, which he says
was the size of a Newfoundland dog.
He jumped, but not so quickly that
the bear did not leave its mark
across the calf of ti.e left quite
a gash.
This didn’t stop Mr. Philips,
howeuer, on the contrary, it only
increased* his speed, and he ran and
the the bear ran, and they both ran
for a period ol almost an hour,
until Mr. Phillips could get back to
the pasture, where the hear gave
chase up as a bad job.
Mr. Phillips was in Macon Friday
and had the wound on his leg at
tended to.
HUNT ON THANKSGIVING
There is every indication that
the bears, which Monroe Phillips
claims infest his plantation, nine
miles south of Macon on the Oc
mulgee River, will shortly be exter
minated. There is no question about

CHAIR ON THURSDAY
Atlanta, Ga., November 1,5,
The reins of the state govern
ment will pass quietly Thursday
from the hands of Governor Hoke
Smith to the hands of John M.

Mr. Slaton has not yet indicated
his office force, but he willjget along

This Act of Clemency Largely
Due to Indefatigeabie Efforts
of Attorney John R. Cooper of
Macon—Jesse and Leonard

Serve His Life Sentence.
Through the efforts of Hon. John

working in their behalf for years,

this morning reccommended that
pardons be grahted to Leonard and

Tt is believed that Governor Hoke

who have written to Mr. Phillips
join in the hunt, which he has ar
ranged fyr Thanksgiving day.
Letters from every section of the
country, from New York to Cali
fornia and from Wisconsin to Miss
issippi and Alabama, have been
pouring in on Mr. Phillips, making
inquities about the number of bears
it will be possible to kill. Some of
the letters are from sportsmen who
eacn year go to some section of
the country where game is plentiful
for two or three weeks hunting,
and others are from experienced
trappers who want to come to
Georgia and exterminate the bears
for the hides they would secure
Several want to come as official
hear killers and want to know what
sort of a proposition Mr. Phillips
would be willing to make, whether
he would pay by the day or by the
number of bears killed.
To all of these letters Mr. Phillips
has replied that lie will hold a big
hunt on Thanksgiving*day and has
invited all sportsmen who desire to
do so to come to his place and par
ticipate.
Dr. C. A. Strasburg, of Griders
ville, Ohio, yesterday wrote .Mr.
Phillips that his party, consisting
of about twelve, would arrive in
Macon November 23, and would
outfit there.
Arthur Reeves of Chicago, has
written that he is going to bring a
party of six from the “Windy City’*
and all they want is some good
sport.
