J. Rogers 104 Frank Clarke Blanch, 7mi.SW. Laytonville, Mendocino Co., Calif. Mar. 31, 1938 On the way down the hill, Joe showed us 7 pached places in the fence, where the bear or bears had gone through. At most of the holes, we saw broken pickets with tooth marks near the broken ends. Two of the holes were only separated by two pickets; apparently the bear did not always use holes already made, but went through wherever it came to the fence. Joe said that in the 7 months he had been there, he hadn't heard of bears eating anything except dead sheep--no live sheep. Joe showed me where the trap had been set, and the first bear, in the creek, about 48 feet away. It had not moved far with the trap. Mr. Clarke had shot it March 30, and had put it in the cold creek in hope that it would keep until we arrived to take care of it. We pulled it out of the creek and gutted it. It was a male, weighed approximately 170 lbs; the stomach was empty. It apparently was perfectly refrigerated. We decided to haul it uphole, so hung it up by the hind feet, stuffed some bay leaves in it, and started toward where the other bear lay.
