Two WOMEN FIGHTINGiA BEAR.
A Death Grapple with n Monster OF
the Delaware County Forests.

Delaware IN. " Cor. n. Y. sun.
Jonas Butler and his wife and two
children live in rude cabin in n lonely
place in the woods near the head waters
of the Delaware, twenty miles above this
place, Butler, who has a contract for peel
ing bark and getting out railroad ties, Is
sometimes away in the woods tor days at
a time. He was absent on Sunday last.
Wild game, always plenty in that region,
has been unusually abundant this season.
Bears have been numerous and lmpudent.
Only a week ago Butler shot one that
was emptying his dinner pail. One Sun
dav. at about five o'clock in the after
noon, Mrs. Butler and her daughter Jen-
ME heard an unusual comn0tion among
the pigs in the hcg pen, few rods
distant from the house, and on looking
out thev saw large black bear with a
fat pig under one ''arm," trying 10 get
ont of the inclu>ure. The sly is bHl't
of small logs. the walls peing about
five feet high, with roof over part OF
the pen. The mother and daughter de-
termined 10 save the pig, if possible.
The former seized heavy mailer or
maui used for driving wedges in logs,
and the latter took the aX from the wood
pile. Thus equipped and accompanied
by the watch dog. they hurried to the
pen, and both jumped into the incl"sure,
followed by the dog.
They attacked his bearship vigorously,
and he turned upon them. He first
seized the dog, and with one squeeze OF
his great paws crushed it TO death and
threw il to one side. The in:urivted bear
then sprsng upon Miss Jennie, quickly
dissrmed her and crowded her into n
corner, and got the now helpless girl into
his embrace, but the blows from the maui
in the hands Of Mrs. Butter became so
quick and severe that he left the girl
without doing her any material
injury, and turned upon the mother. The
girl lad given the bear some fearful
wounds with the Ak, and from them the
blood was flowing copiou>ly. This in
tensitied his fury, and he dashed upon
Mrs. Butler with his paws wide extended
to draw her into his embrace. She snout-
ed to her daughter 10 run to the house
and fetch tie rife and shoot the bear.
The girl lesped from the pen and
made for the house. She returned in the
nick OF time. The besr had knocked her
mothers weapon from her hand, and
pressed her into corner. Mrs. Butler
had croucned down on the floor and
placed her hands over her face, seeming
ly resigned to her fate. Her daughter
pushed the rifle through a chink in the
logs, took aim and fired. The bear stag
gered an instant on his hausches, and fell
back dead, shot through the heart.
1t was hours before the two courageous
women recovered from the reaction that
followed their encounter, The girl faint
ed after firing the fatal shot. Her mother
got out of the pen and dragged her into
the house. On the next morning Jennie
walked five miles through the woods to
tell her father Of the adventure. The
bear weighed over s0e pounds.
