Big Black Bear Eats Babies.
Pittsburg, May 22.—A Job,' W.
Va., special says : To be crushed
to death in the. embrace of a
monstrous black bear and their
little bodies afterward mangled
and partly devoured, was the
frightful fate that befell the three
young chldren of E. P. Porterfield,
a mountaineer, residing about
twelve miles southeast of this
place. The remains were found
yesterday by a searching party,
which had been out since Sunday
evening. The party included John
YVeldon, a Maryland hunter, who
within a few minutes after the dis
covery of the bodies shot and

thicket. The children were Mary,

that they wandered into the woods,
and, becoming lost, continued on
their way until they were overtaken
by the bear in the dense forest three
miles from their parent’s home.®
The bear feasted,off all three of
the bodies. The bones of the
children had been crushed like
straws, and the flesh stripped off
with teeth and claws. The party
divided and began to search.
Within a few minutes Weldon
discovered the monster in a thick
clump of hemlock saplings near
a small stream. A single shot
ended its life. It was declared to
