About month ago Miss Alice Corey. OF
New York city, Camc TO visit her uncle, a
German, who owns small farm i'm the
mountains six miles northwest of Hunters
Range, Pa. Miss Corey is about sixteen
years old, and her arunts are well TO do.
Her uncle has a daughter, GG7, also aged
about sixteen years. Her father having but
ono son. Clara has for years helped to do the
work on the farm, and she has become an
expert shot with rifle. She has a mania
for hunting, and frequently goes into the
forest In search of game \ few DAYS ago
Clara invited her cousin TO accompany her
ON hunting expedition. They started
from the house shortly after breakfast
Alice with u double -balrcllcd gun and
Clara with a rifle. After securing the
woods for several hours without much sue
cess they visited Ozark swamp THIS
swamp embraces several hundred acres. is
denscly wooded, and bears are frequently
seen there. The girls reached the edge Of
the swamp at noon, and started into the
thickct They had gone hut short dis
tanCC when Miss Corey, who was walking
few yards behind her cousin, heard a
cracking noise in the bushes a short dis
taucc back. Looking around, she saw a
large black bear coming toward her. Clara
who had frequently encountered the shay
gy monsters, called 10 her frightened Cous-
IN 10 come 90 her She then drew r rifle
TO her shoulder and, taking deliberate aim
at the animal, awaited until IL camc within
easy range, and then fired The bear
uttered "a howl of pain, and fell bleeding
As Clam's rifle was a single -harrcilcd one,
she seized the double harrcllcd gun from
her cousin, and discharged both barrels AT
the iuiuriatcd animal, i'm the hope of killing
1t outright But, with the disappearance
OF the smoke from the gun, the bear was
seen wuihing, but not dead The brave
young woman then approached cautiously
To within reaching distance of the wounded
animal, and, taking from n large leather
belt cnCrcling her waist honc-handlcd
deer knife, plunged il TO the hilt into the
bears neck AT this moment the diving
monster gave sudden lungc and fastened
its sharp claws into the girls skirts, pulling
her down. Her frightened cousin ran
about wildly and screamed at the top of
her voice, but as there was no house within
two miles. her cries were not heard. She
then returned To where Clara was still
struggling with the animal. The bear still
held the girl In his grasp, hut was rapidly
growing weaker The girl was all the
time using her knife with good effect. She
dealt the dying animal blow after blow un-
I'll it finally released it's hold and rolled
over dead. Though very much exhausted
and considerably scratched by tho bears
claws, Clara, with the assistance of her
cousin, was soon able To walk. They
marked the spot where the dead bear lay,
and then returned home. Clara's father
and brother drove to the swamp and brought
the bear in, which, when dressed, weighed
$40 pounds. The skin is TO be sent to n
New York taNidcrmist TO be stuffed, and it
will he kept by the young woman as a
souvenir Of her terrible struggle and for
tunaic escape.
