They Killed a Bear.
For several weeks the farmers
on Cane Creek, the dividing line
between Vv are and Clinch eoun-

den was somewhere in the swamps
of that neigh horho "< oh The nni-

habit of making frequent visits
.l,e various hogpe..., ;u„d carry-
| ing off porkers.
A few days »go, just after
of Bruin ’» nightly visits, Mr. I. E.
McQuaipc ■ ^B, and others, ■ determined
j . to put an emt t to Mr. bear „ ,
sexis-
| i tence. All the d<>.;s in the dis-
trict were gathered together and
; an exciting chase began. The
j bear was soon run to cover in a
^]y 11V ^ 1™
furiously for hi., life. The
dogs charged savagely, only to be
- knocked heels over head when
j they approached near enough.
Two of the dogs were killed in
the struggle, and others received
| some ugly scratches- -before the
| beast was finally overborne. The
; bear weighed 430 pouuda.—Way-
