In Colorado near Goose Creek south of Wagon Wheel Gap a cow carcass drew a large bear and cub. William Guinn and Dell McClelland tried to shoot it at night. A seventy five pound bear trap was set, but the bear escaped with the trap and pole, dragging both away across aspen thickets. The story ends with locals noting the bears were seen later on the Pagosa road carrying the pole ends.

It ends with a playful historical trivia line about lawyers speaking in court in 788.
