Horton of Red Oak Mountain, appeared to protest.

Chairman Newbill Miller explained Horton’s presence: “Mr. Horton came to see me and he explained he didn’t think the bear had done it.”

HORTON ADDED his own testimony: “My wife heard the dogs barking and went out on the porch. They was barking down where the sheep was. My daughter heard the barking and carrying on, too. I really believe the dogs killed it. I believe it was the same dog that killed one before. It looked like a dog done it, I reckon.

Horton elaborated: “People heard the dog out there, barking. My wife and my daughter — right between our houses. They heard the dogs; they never seen them. My dogs’ barking woke them up. But they heard them. They never heard of a bear being in there.”
