A letter dated near the mouth of White River in
Arkansas, gives the following painful account of a
remarkable conflict with bear:
There was one of the deepest tragedies here
two evenings ago that ever heard of. Mr.. H ar
rls, the landlord in " hose house | am now STAY
ing, went up the river to drive some cattle to a
MIR. Kean's. On the way, he and Kean saw
very large bear, which they shot twice, wounding
him mortally but not killing him. They then fol-
lowed him with their dogs, and when they came
to where he was, Mr. Harris went into the cave
to get another chance to shoot him. TIE bear
was behind tree, and Mr.. Harris and the bear
met. Harris shot him the third time but did not
kill him. The bear caught him by the ham string
and bit the large artery in two. kcan who was
loading another gun, ran to him, not being more
than ten steps off, with his butcher knife. to stab
the bear, that now had Harris under him, but
when he aiming the blow the bear saw
him, and leaped at him. Kean sprang back
and Harris jumped from under the bear, ran fifteen
or twenty feet and fell. Kean said sare you hurl?
Yes, am killed. was his answer. Kean then
jumped between Harris and the bear. as the latter
rushing to another attack, and luckily shot,
him the fourth time through the body which
weakened the animal much, though he still fought
with the dogs for some time. Kean ran next to
Harris, saw his haggard countenance, begged him
to speak, but the PROSTATE man expired in an in
stant. Mr.. Harris has left five or six childlen

considerable live stock, when they were at
acked by Col. Jackson's Light troop, and
retreated with a small part of The booty on
