KILLING BEAR-ruTNAM ouTpoNE.


In the county of Tazwell, Va, and
in the "Bear Town" and its surrounds
ings, situated in that county, some six
teen bears have been captured this fall
Of this number Mr.. Berger has killed
eight, three of which he caught in. two
pens on the same night But the great
est feat, and the one deserving notice,
especially, is that performed by one Mr..
Hartman, sondoneon, and son of Eli
as Hartman, famed bear hunter. The
Harmans understand the nature of bear,
and know how to kill them, as the facts
will chow.
Several citizens of Burke's Garden
having secured the services of young
Harman and his bear dogs, set out but
few days since in pursuit of bears.
Having arrived at the place, the dogs
very soon announced the whereabouts
of bruin, and the party fastened to the
place. 1t was evident the bear was
there in large hole. Young Harman
quieted his dogs, tied them, and re-
quired all to keep quiet for the space of
one hour. The time thought necessary
having elapsed, young Hartman drew of
his coat, and arming himself with a
butchers knife and torch, he entered
the abode of the bear. His long abb
sence gave apprehension of uneasiness
to his comrades, and they began to fear
that he would never emerge. After a
! considerable time be came forth his
hands and arms besmeared with blood,
remarking to his comrades: "BoYs /
can't get him out, he is too large fol-
me-" He had killed him with his knife
by stabblng him to the heart. Har-
man never goes into bear with any
other weapon than knife. He gives
his reasons by relating an incident that
occurred to him as follows:
81 once went into bear with torch
and gun. had shot others in this
way, but in this case I missed my aim,
the bear attempted his exit and ran ov-
er me. The hole was small, and he
pressed me heavily, and he scratched
me badly in the back. l have never
since resorted to a gun in bear fight,
but find knife the safest weapon in
my hands"
Being further asked how he could
stab bear without danger to himself,
he says: ''That a bear when undisturb-
ed is quiet that he takes hold of them
and gently moves them into position,
SO that he can make deadly stroke.
He took rope and having fastened
it about his neck, they drew him forth
It was monster bear, weighing over
four hundred pounds net. -

It Was Only q Little Fun.

l happened to be in the Argus Office
the other day, talking with Colonel
Bangs, the editor, when a red whiss
kered man entered and saluted the

Then he seized Bangs by the hair,
pumped his head against the table
three or four times, and then kicked
him on heBhins. When this exhilara.

his fist very close to the colonel's nose
and said:

Then he cuffed Bangs ears couple

poured the sand box in the same place,
knocked over the table and went out.
During all this time the colonel sat
still with sickly kind Of a smile on
his face and never uttered q word

the table, wiped the ink and sand from
his face, and turning to me, said:
