  Notes	According to tradition, he once shot a bear. A young boy from the main Windingstad farm came to Maradokke to fetch a mare that was there with a foal. When he arrived he saw that a bear that was eating the foal. The boy was scared to death and climbed up in a spruce tree and shouted as loud as he could: "Lars, Lars, come and shot him." Lars i Bakka heard the shouts, shot the bear and saved the life of the boy from Windingstad. The story has also been told differently, saying that Lars used the foal as bait in an animal trap, and thereby got the better of the bear. On p. 658 of V&S a Lars Olsen Veningstad is said to have married Kari, who is said to have been a daughter of Gølik Knutson Lien (nørre I) and Kari Hansdotter [Beito?] (her second marriage). But -- the engagement record in the church book for Lars Olsen and Kari in 1784 gives her father's name as Thorsten, and this is the name used at time of baptism for all of their children. Could she have been a daughter from the first marriage of Kari Hansdotter? Could V&S be wrong in this? His mother was from Løken, where the church book record states that Lars and Kari were engaged.
