June 12, 1936: "Nobody did anything about a big bear's depredations on sheep in the Potts creek section until the fire warden took the initiative. He suggested immediate action by telephone when the bear kept him on his steel fire tower past supper time. The 275-pound bear fell to the rifles of Marshall Taylor and Murrel Helms." (Danville Bee)
