I In The Letter Box .MrRAE TELLS HOW IIK.1IC WAS KILLED Editor. Dally Nes. WUl you be good enough to accord me space In your paper In which ti reply to this fellow Thorn H. Elliott i self-styled lover of animals who writes tn yesterday's Issue of the Dally News' re myself and the bear recently killed cear Sham-atlana Passage. In the rirst place this man's letter la a scurruldus conglomeration of falsehood from beginning to end. There Is not a shied of truth In It It Is a mean, contemptably constructed, ma!lej lously conceivedUl advised and alto-egther uncalled 'Tor exudation of vicious spume. I wouldn't have paid any attention to the fellow's fretful outburst had he confined his outburst to myself. When he brings my wife's name Into the story that Is going too far. let me assure the fellow that my wife doesn't require a bear skin tor a coat bear skins, b the way are used 'In the making of rugs, not cost. But of course this fellow, being a recent Immigrant into the country la not sup posed to know those things. However that there may be no mis conception In the minds of those whoj ccancea hi resa ine letter, auow me to set forth what - actually took place. May I say first of all that I do not and did not seek any publicity from the affair. It was just an Incident In my day's work, an Incident that doesnt happen very often perhaps, but an incident Just the same. I'm neither proud of it nor sorry for It. I am sorry however that circumstances made It necessaary for me to kill the bear. Vour reporter who "wrote up" the affair in the "Waterfront Whiffs" column of Saturday's paper will bear me out when I aay that he did not get the' Canned Fruit Special Any of the following Canned Fruits, all the highest grade and in heavy syrup. :i tins for IWC Loganberries, Raspberries, Straw berries, Sliced Peaches, Apricots, Pineapple.

The line foreman had gone ahead to where an insulator was broken on a pole. It was my duty -to follow him there as soon as I had finished the Job on which I was en gaged at the time. Apparently the foreman on reaching the pole with the broken insulator disturbed a bear in the process of digging himself In for the winter. The bear, emitting a angry snort, made for the pole, on which the Insulator was to be replaced, climbing" onto one of the cross arm. There waa nothing about the appearance of the War to indicate that It had once been In captivity, but on the contrary whether from long hunger or lor some other reason it was In an ill temper. As far a the foreman could see It was Just a, black bear, disturbed In Its first lair and digging for iteelf a second one. Not wantinz to do the bear any unnecessary harm, he at tempted to frighten It from off the pole by throwing sticks at It but without success.

Ulow me to cay something about the tcene of the affair to how how utterly without foundation such a statement 1. The two poles in question are on the brow of a bill but In a depression r hollow-, sod while what went on at .he top of the pole would be visible .rem distant pans. what, took place at the base would only be visible to one in the hollow or on its rim. Tommy Elliott certainly wasn't either In the hollow or on Its rim. The only plan te could have been waa near the Cold 3tcrage. some fourteen or fifteen hundred feet away or In the vicinity ol Sixth Avenae. U11 farther away, and yet Tommy claims , he saw everything that went on in the hollow. He even saw the weapons used In dispatching the bear among other weapons, gun, mind you. Who tti heard of a line man carrying a gun around aa part of hi tools? His trappings are heavy enough. In aU conscience, without tot ing a rifle or shotgun. But then, of course, the man Is a recent arrival In the country and consequently 'green. As the only possible place from which the man could have viewed what took plsce at the top of the pole was at least four to five hundred yard dis tant. I don't think he Is competent to say what happened unless of course his vision U as brilliantly (?) sharp as bis Imagination. Coming up to the pole I tried to Iassoo the bear bu owing to the rope being too short and the cross arm nd wire Interfering. I could not do so. Now outside of the fact that If the bear came Into contact with the high voltage wires the whole power system of the city coming from WoouwuHh might hsve been thrown out of commission or seriously Interfered with we had to replace the broken Insula tor. XOT IMII TO WAIT Now the city doesn't pay its linemen to alt down waiting a disgruntled bear's pleasure to remove Its unwelcome presence from the place where they are to work. I climbed up the pole to the opposite side of the crouarm and at-temped to push the bear off unsuc cessfully. I then hit it a blow In the rump with a wrench. The bear turned around and made to attack me. SHfc!6 -ftjthe Jsw. splitting same anff jmockmg'it from off the pole Had the bear not been so seriously Injured 7 would have allowed it to escape but It would not have been humane to do so. When the bea made for the second pele I followed It so as to put It out of It misery a weU a to pre vent possible damage' to the wires. roped the bear around the body on this pole but as the foreman could not pull it down by pulling on the rope I hit the bear on the head with the wrench. i.unnlr.; it and dltlodgln; it. X then came down and oulekly dispatched It with a knife, which I consider,, under i the circumstance wa th human thing to do. There were only two of us there at the tune. Th other came up oniy a we were carrying the carcai away. TOO 111(1 I OR MIT I pas by the man reference to clan aud a lot of other twaddle. That or course u in keeping with the rest oi Us silly outburst. The bear wa a year 0d and considerably over one hundred pounds in weight. It the bear was a pet It should not be allowed to roam, Wht if a.nve small enlldreu had run rata uf Mr. Elliot might be finding hlmelf tn trouble. A bear after it reaches a certain age Is never dependable. Evidently the bear having got loose preferred a sleep for the rest of the w lifer to staying awake for th dainties bestowed upon It by It loving master or perhap th latter larder Is tn the same condition aa that of a certain old lady who desired to get her pet dog a morsel to eat. I truvt you will pardon, my t re pis sing so much on your valuable apace I certainly would have Ignored th mans petty outburst bad he been content to direct his foolish shafts at myself. But hi miserable, cowardly and unmanly reference to my wife com pell me to state plainly what actually happened. I also am a lover of animals. ALEX. McRAE. 8th Avenue West.
