DREADFUL OCCCERBSCE.--t Boy EJten by Bear,-
shocking occurrence took place on the Ham
tramck marshes, near Detroit, Michigan. on last
Tuesday, in which boy eleven years old was ac-
tuaily eaten up alive by bear, within sight of the
city. The circumstances of the case are thus Civ
en- by the Detroit Free Press:
man named Joseph Rademacher went ont on
Tuesday morning, i'll company with little brother.
to pick ra7pberries. They carried their dinners
with them, ana went some five or six miles out be-
fore commencing their days work Rademacher
deposited his dinner basket and coat on the pr0und
and employed himselffor sore timei in picking her
RES, when his attention attracted by Il noise.
he looked around and, to his intense astonishm.ut
81" a large she bear, accompanied by three cubs
engaged IN devouring his dinner. 1t was but the
work OIL moment to drop his basket of berries and
hurry, with his young brother, from the spot lie
saw two boys not far from him when he left the
spot but said nothing to them Before himself
and brother had got safe distance, they heard ter
rble sc. cams i'll the direction they had left which
only served to accelerate their pace, and place a
greater distance between them and danger
They were soOn overtaken by one of the bows
who came rushing afer item in bewildcrment
oftrlght, screaming that the bear was eating I'D
his brother Rademacher received this intelli
gencc in utter disnlay, and took to his heels with
Will, followed by the two boys, desertng the suf
terer to his fate. The cowardly race soon brought
them to the city, when they spread the alarm and
large party was quickly formed for the rescue
VIII ch proceeded to the scene Of the disaster ac.
c0mpanled by RademaCher and the father of the un-
fortunate boy. long search resulted in finding
the remains of the boy, the bear having eaten up
about half Of the corpse, and buried the rest for
future meal. Remnants of his clothes were found
scattered around, together with Rademacher's
coat, torn to pieces. A general hunt was com
menced with view of finding the bear which
has been continued up to the present time without
success.
