A few days ago (says the Mansfield
Reportcr), while Mr.. Buchanan and
Mr.. Ford, were riding along the Harris
Bluff road about eleven miles south
west of town, they discovered u large
black bear near the road. Mr.. Blu
ehanan had a six-shooter in his sad :
dlehags, aud while Mr.. Ford held
the horses, Mr.. Buchanan went out
to interview bruin. He approached
to within about thirty steps of the
bear when the latter raised upon his
hind legs apparently awaiting an at
tack. Mr.. Buchanan leveled his pis-
tol and fred the ball struck the beast
in the neck, and breaking it, killed
him instantly. 1t was a very large
animal and weighed nearly five hun
dred pounds.
