Bear Skull No.3. Collected by Windfall Jackson May 6. 1907. Jackson and his Squaw went out in their canoe to hunt bear on the east side of the Harbor. They discovered a small bear on the beach. Jackson landed and sneaked up and succeeded in killing the bear with 2 shots from his Winchester 30-30. Suddenly a big bear came out from the timber and Jackson promptly made for the canoe. But the squaw thought that he ought to be made of sterner stuff so she quickly pushed the canoe out into deep water regardless of Jackson cries. During the excitement the big bear made away back to the woods.
