| two weeks, b. what has turned ont 70 be large
fgr,xxly bear, whose amusement has been 10
make great havoc among the farmers stock,
having already dcslro, ca three cows, one fine
fox and several hogs. Several unatmed citizens
having seen the monster 1t distance, the con-
sequcnt excitement soon brought together

this formidable foe. The recent fall OF snow

Merritt s. Clark, particularly distinguished for
dangerous adventures, D and 1fio,nas Wilson and
lilly Jackson, two coiored men, composed one
gang. and some six from. Byrurn, Ct, the other.
Upon entering u swamp about 81 miles from
the siiiage OF Rye, the monster was discovered
snusly esconced in n crevce of large clump
Of rocks Mr.. Clark having much Western ex-

he Immediately attacked Wilson, and severe
struggle easued 1.-THE colored men being armed
only with clubs) the bear biting Wilson terribly

and almost severing his head from his body
By this time Jackson commenced to beat the
bear, who left the dead body Of Wilson, aud
sPitbSinS upon Jacksoh gave nW IIiShtiui
blow, striking the whole length of his back
tearing his clothes completely from the body
an decorating the flesh fearfny, injurng him so
severely that he is not expected to recover

From the Montezuma tPowesheik County, Republican
Extra.
Murder and Suicide at RrOOklxr
POWeshfeSx County.

One of the most heart-rendng and hmenta
/ BILE tragedies that was ever recorded, was enact
| ed at Brooklyn, in the northeast part of this
county, last EVENING" tragedy BY which two
persons, Mr. b. \. laws, of that place, aud a
man calling himself j. B. Roane, were instantly
Killed. The circumstances, as near as we can
learn them, are as follows:
On the arrival OF the stage at BROOKLYN from
Ft. Des Moines, on Wednesday evening. a gen
teman got out of it and stated that he was an
officer IN U. S. Army, and that he was pursued
oy several persons, who designed numbering
nun tor his money. He asked if there was any
person present who would befriend him and see
that he was not foully dealt With Mr.. Il. NJ
ha"s-one OF the best citizens of the county
who happened to be standing BY at the time.
remarked that he would see that lie was no,
hurt, and took him under his charge for the
night.
On yesterday, Mr.. Haws, Baker and other
citizens spent part of the day with him at DR..
Connoway's hotel. II was noticed during the
day, that be was iaboring under some peculiar
disease OF the brain, and that a part OF the time
he was delirous, while at other times he was
perfectly sane. He stated that he had been on
a drinking spree about a week ago, aud the
probability is that be was laboring under fit OF
delirum tremens.
Last evening about o'clock Mr. j. B. Roane.
b. Haws and Mr.. Putnam were in the bar room Of
the Connoway House together. Mr.. Roane was
walking the floor, while Mr.. Haws and Putnam
were setting by. Mr.. Roane, before any one was
aware OF his designs. pulled from his pocket
pistol aud shot MIR. Haws dead the bal enter
ing the lett breast and penetrating the heart
We believe the deceased uttered but one SEN
tencf after he was shot, which was-"My God!n
Mr.. Putnam, who feared that he too, might meet
With similar fate, caught Roane aud endeay-
ored to hold him. During the time they we're
struggling together Roane attempted TO shoot
Putnam, and plead to be released that be might
shoot himself. Watching an opportunity, Mr..
Putnam showed him oct of the door, when he
lRoane) deliberately shot himself through tie
head and expired upon the spot. This affair has
cast gloom over the entire community-a
gloom that will not soon be dispersed. Mr..
flaws leaves wife and one child, together with |
many friends to mourn his sad fate He will |

IL may be that the above is not exactly cor
