Petersburg Pilot -

August 2, 1913 – Hans Pruschoff, the most daring local hunter and trapper returned from an extended trip covering some three months or more. Hans said that he had had a hard trip, although he does not look it, but of course his friends take his word for it. He has a bear story which he promised to tell soon. However, his friends are glad that he is safe home once more. “All this fear about Hans' safety, is all nonsense” said one of his intimate friends, and he added, “They don't need to fear, Hans will never shoot at a bear unless somebody ties the bear to a tree.”
