DREADFUL OccURRENcB-A Boy Eaten By a
| Bear almost toitbil the CITY LiD,its.-A shock
ing occurrence took place in the Hamtramck
marshes in Detroit, on last Tuesday, in which
boy eleven years old was actually eaten
up alive by bear, within sight of the city.
The circumstances Of the case are as follows !:
man named Joseph Rademacher, Ger
man, living on Macomb street, between Ri
ward and Russell, went out on Tuesday morn
ing in company with little brother, to pick
raspberries They carried their dinners with
them, and went some five or SIX miles out be-
fore commencing their days work. Rad
emacher deposited his dinner, basket and
coat on the ground, and employed himself
for some time in picking berries, when his at
tention being attracted by noise, lie looked
around, and to his intense establishment, saw
large she bear, accompanied by three Guns,
engaged in devouring his dinner. 1t was but
the work of a moment to drop his basket, and
hurry, with his young brother, from the spot.
He saw two boys not far from him when lie
left the spot, but said nothing to them. Be-
fore himself and brother had got at safe dis
lance they heard terrible screams in the direc-
ton they had left, which only served to &C.
CELEBRATE their pace, and place greater dis.
tance between them and danger. They were
soon oVertaken by one of the boys, vino came
rushing after them in a bewildeIment of
fright, screaming that the bear was eating up
his brother. Rademacher received this intel
hgence in utter dismay, and took to his heels
with will, followed by the two boys, desert
ing the sufferer to his fate. The cowardly
race soon brought them to the city, when
they spread the alarm, and large party was
quickly formed to the rescue, which proceed
ell to the scene of the disaster, accompanied
by Rademacher and the father of the unior.
tuate boy A long search resulted in finding
the remains of the boy, the bear having eaten

tor future meal. Remnants of his clothes
were found scattered around, together with
Rademachel's coat, torn 10 pieces. A hunt
was commenced, with view of finding the
bear, which has been continued up to the
present time without success. The boy was
Irish or German, and we are not certain
which. His name also we have been unable
to learn, but shall ascertain it today. His
brother, boy of thirteen years, stated they
stumbled over the bear before they saw her at
all, when she suddenly turueil with savage
growl and seized the one who was near.
est. A word of warning from Rademach-
er when he commenced his flight would have
saved the boy, but he was too frightened
to do anything but run.
The bear was large and powerful one, and
must have been excited to great hunger to
commit so bold deed. The contemplation
OF such an occurrence, happening almost
within the limits of a city of seventy thou
sand inhabitants, is sickenng and terrible.
Wild bears have become a rarity in most
parts Of the State, yet we are visited in
the very metropolis by one that perpetrates
deed that belongs only 10 the early annals of
our history. 1t is TO be hoped that such
visits will be rare in future.-Detroit Free
