AocIDENT.-Last Thursday week, and
after our forms had gone to press, intelli-
0ence reached us of the hair-breadtlI es-
cape of Mr.. Eldridge, Of Chlmacum, from
a tragic death. 1t appears that while on
his way home from this place, and when
near Government Prairie, of a sudden,
his horses stopped, aud commenced rear
ing and plunging with an inclination to
turn about, and It was not long ere Mr..
Eldridge discovered that bear with two
cubs were In the road little In advance
Ofhm. He then, with a view to the bet
ter management Of his team, attempted
to Jump out, but his feet being entangled
with blankets In the bottom of the wagon
he fell and the horses extricating them
selves fiom the vehicle, star tel to run into
the brush, but the reins caught and they
were firmly held In place. BY this time
Mr. Edridge had recovered sufficiently
to crawl to then, and managed to mount
one, and In this condition pursued
bis way home. DIR. Willison OF this town
was telegraphed for and Immediately rode
olit. He found upon investigation that
one Of the small bones of his left leg was
broken and he was otherwise somewhat
injured. These were attended to and the
patient Is now doing as well as could be
expected. Yhe cause of the misfortune
has not been seen since, but Is undoubted-
ly still lurking In that vicinity, as 1t ap-
pears to be favorite resort tor bruin.

where they had so long reposed-sOme
ten or twelve days, probably. A rude cot
