A Terrific Bear Hunt.

On Saturday evening two men who had
started for the Black Hills on foot came
into town in hurry, and said they had
seen bear about four miles west, close
to the track. He was in large hole in
the snow, and, as they came along, stuck
his head out. AS they had not lost any
bear they did not stopto see whether there
was more than one, nor how large that one
was. The news soon spread, and despite
the terrible snow-storm, n party of dozen
or more was at once ready to start for the
scene. Engine No. %, run by W. II.
Dickinson, was brought into requisition,
and for fear there might be more bears
than could be otherwise accommodated,
the six FOUNDER piece of artillery that has
so long stood guard over the Presbyterian
Church, was mounted on top of the ten
der. All the old guns that could be got
together were procured, and the engine
started for the place where the snow would
soon be covered with fur and blood from
a score of huge grizzlies. In short time
the spot was reached, but the storm had
filled the entrance of the cave with snow
so that all that could be seen was one or
two heaps of dirty snow. AS soon as the
engine stopped Joe McManus, Mr.. Earll,
Frank FoOte and Mr.. Allen jumped OIL to
catch the bear. "Where is it? ?" said Joe,
and started for heap of snow that might
be the opening of the cave, but just then
he broke through, his feet probably strik-
ing bruin on the head, for he ut once
called for help. On being drawn out it
was found the bear had secured one of his
boots. At this juncture johnnie Hoyt and
Jessie Knight, getting considerably excited,
commenced to load the artillery with
Jumps of coal and Joe Edison heated the
poker to touch it of, but it would not go.
Upon examination, it was found in the
hurry the powder had been forgotten. The
firearms they had with them were then
brought into requisition, and the snow for
ten rods square bored with bullets. The
shovel brigade then turned loose, bent
upon finding bruin if he was there. After
digging while, what was their surprise
TO come across the head of COW that had
been killed by train, Concluding that
must have been the bear that was seen, the
brave hunters returned home.
Several persons who were out yesterday
found ground hog, which they conclude
to have been the supposed bear.-E'ranstln n

objects are offered for sale, purporting to
be plates of minerals, which are nothing
more than ingenious manipulations OF
