Account
Duane Hibner's father had set a bear trap near a hollowed-out area under a huge oak tree on the bank of the Big Cedar river. Duane was with him when they encountered a mile of 16-inch, barefoot human tracks in the snow that led to the tree, where the trap was bent out of shape and the wire broken. The tracks went off to the South but they did not follow. Large boulders thrown out on river ice.
