AT Underhill the other night two lads went up
Mansfield mountain trout fishing and spent the
night in room on the second floor of the halfway
house, which was otherwise empty During the
night they were awakened by the sound OF some
animal scrambling in at lower window Then
came sounds OF scratching and gathering ON the
floor below, and then upon the stairs. Thoroughly
alarmed, and having no weapons but pocket
knives, the boys now sprang up and drew their
bed across the door to bar the entrance. The
creature came to the door and after shutting at
the cracks endeavored to push it open. The boys
crowded the bedstead against the door with all
their might, but were in a way to be oyerpowered
when, finding their voices, they shouted loudly at
the intruder. lie took fright at the shouting and
scuttled down stairs and out Of the window. The
morning light showed scratches on the door and
window castings, and outside the window the
plain tracks Of a bear in the soft earth.
