THREE HUNDRED FOLKS PARTAKE OF BEAR
SANDWICHES AT HARRISONVILLE BARBECUE
Critter Wasn't Roasted Whole Oyer Fire, But Cooked To Tenderness Of Spring Chicken—Hide May Be Disposed Of By Hunters.
At lea'st one chapter of the Harri-sonville bear story is terminated. One bear has been caught, killed, skinned, cooked and eaten. Anything- further about bears in the neighborhood is like sewing-circle gossip and just as reliable.
Last Saturday night about 300 of these citizens ate bearsteak sandwiches and gazed at the bear skin. They talked of the narrow escapes they all probably had as the bear prowled around their neighborhood for three weeks. Then they came back for more bear sandwiches, bought pop and ice-cream at the general store and went on talking about the bear.
The feast was called a barbecue, but as barbecues go this show was a fizzle. There was no pit, nor was
any bear roasted whole over it. The Harrisonville citizens invented their own kind of barbecue.
Mrs. William Triplett, whose husband fired the shot that killed Bruin, and Mrs. William Crooks, mother of Harman Crooks, whose two dogs played a big part in hunting it, cooked the bear. It was quartered and cooked almost all day and, as a result, was almost as tender as young chicken.
The barbecue didn't take the form of a big outdoor festival, with lots of flies and smoky lanterns. Instead a corner of George W. Barry's general store was commandeered and there, from 20 loaves of bread and the once marauding bear, Mrs. Harman Crooks and Mrs. Triplett made the sandwiches and served the hun-

dreds that lined up to feast on the public enemy.
Harrisonville was not the only town represented. Summoned by vivid reports from Harrisonville, people came from far and near. So many came from Baltimore in automobiles that th eroad was lined with motor cars for a hundred yards near the store.
The ladies explained that they didn't know how to roast a bear whole. Such a proceeding has not been known "in these parts" since the Fench anad Indian war. And, besides, they didn't like meat cooked whole, anyway, they saiad. Saturday night was the "ladies' night" of the bear hunt. While the actual hunt was on, they kept in the background. But when it came to cooking and serving the viands men-folk preferred to stay outside where the bear skin was hanging. The skin was salted and stretched tightly on the slick bobaard front of Barry's store. Even the tail was salted, but the guardian of Bruin's bier insisted that this apaplication had been made since the killing.
The skin is to be sold. Already $50 has been offered, it was said. Some of the huntsmen who were "in at the death" believed it should be mounted and hung in a public place in Harrisonville for all to see that Harrisonville really had a bear in the ewentieth century. In the meantime, Bruin's black fur coat reposes in Bill Crook's yard.
DR. THOMAS KENT BARBER DEAD.
Funeral services for Dr. Thomas Kent Barber were held from the home of his daughter, Mrs. Frances K. Atherton, Granite. Burial was in Granite Presbyterian Cemetery.

The location is a short distance from Rockland Station, on the Green Spring Branch of the Northern Central Railroad, and is easily accessible from Baltimore, being about seven miles from the downtown section. A spur of track leading from the station to the field will be used to unload horses and equipment of visiting teams.

expected to play on it during the fall months.
The Maryland Polo Club played a team from the Third Corps Area on July 4 in the Baltimore Stadium. The game was won by the Army team by the score of 10 to 9. The game drew an enthusiastic crowd of more than 2,500. It was the first game of the year for the polo club.
Plans of the Maryland Polo Club are to develope polo into a sport of the first class in this vicinity. Hitherto the game hare has been handicapped by lack of a suitable playing field, but now that a new field has been obtaineed polo is expected to occupy a more prominent place in the public interest.
Efforts will be made to develop a team that will be a credit to the community and ample accommodations will be provided for visiting players and for the public.
Members of the polo team of the Maryland Polo Club are M. J. Cromwell, Jr., Edwin Warfield, Jr., T. B. Blackiston, T. J. Shryock, R. C. Hoffman, Jr., and Bonsai Brooks

Phone, Calvert 2294
Baltimore, Md.
William H. Pearson, the Towson sign painter who lives at Butler, numbers among his brood two little sons, Billy and Wallace, and the latter was named very correctly, for lo and behold, he is as game as "Wallace the man-eater," who adorns a cage in all circusses.
The other night Mr. Pearson sent the youngsters to bed and the two boys knelt at the side of their bed to say their prayers; Billy finished first and reached over, tickling the sole of Wallace's foot.
Abruptly Wallace raised his head saying: "Please God, excuse me until I knock the devil out of Billv!"
The festival held recently for the benefit of St. Paul's Lutheran Church at Kingsville, netted $102. ----------o----------
