BEAR STORY TOLD
BY TROUBLE MAN
Says Bruin Chased Him Up Pole
and Then Fell Ten Feet
From Top.
Hardwick, N. ,T.—The story of being
“poled” by the biggest black bear rang
ing the Blue mountains, was told
here by Joseph Titman, a “trouble
shooter” of the American Telegraph
and Telephone company of Strouds
burg, Pa. Titman was repairing wires
on the top of a telegraph pole when he
saw a huge black bear charging upoD
him from a clump of trees about lO
yards away.
“I had taken my gun along,” said
Titman, “to shoot some ground hogs,
and when I left my motorcycle on the
“Paraded Around That Pole for Two
Mortal Hours."
edge of the road about 300 yards
away, I thought I’d better take the
gun along with me. Left the gun at
the foot of the pole and climbed up to
make some repairs. Just as I heard
a roar my glance met the biggest
Mack bear I ever saw in these parts
or anywhere else, charging down on
me. He was far enough away for me
to slip dotvn the pole and get my gun.
As I started to climb up aguin in a
hurry, old Bruin reared on his
haunches and swiped at me with his
paw. He just missed me and I went '
up to the top and he after me. I must
have heen excited, for I shot all my
cartridges at him as he was climbing
the pole.
“He got up about ten feet, began to
slip, and down he went. He reared
up on his haunches again and just
paraded around that pole for two
mortal hours. When I saw I had
missed him I was so mad that I threw
my gun at him.
"I was some scared, I'll tell the
world, when that big black fellow
started up the pole after me. I took
my field telephone and connected as
quick as I could with central at
Stroudsburg and told her to send help
quick as I had been treed by a bear.
“After waiting for me until he got
tired the bear turned and ambled off
into the woods. When I thought he
had gone, I shinned down the pole,
got my motorcycle and beat it for
home.”
“What gets me,” said Titman, “is ■
that I am a first-class telephone trou
ble shooter for my company, and I
couldn’t shoot my own troubles even
when 1 had a gun.”
