On the 18th of June Mrs. Wilson and two
small children, aged z and 9, left their home
near Newberry Station on the Marquette and
Macknaw Railroad, Michigan, going through a
II years of age was left to take care of the
house. After waiting FIVE days for his mother
to return the boy sought out his father, who
was at work on the railroad eighteen miles away,
and Informed him of the fact. Search was at
once instituted, and after being vigorously
prosecuted for long time was discontinued,
the supposition being that the unfortunates had
been devoured by wild beasts. On July 16,
however, a hunter found the body of the moth
er and one child lying behind the root of a
fallen tree with the other child, a girl, aged 5,
still alive, sitting beside the dead bodies. From
the poor ehild it was learned that they had be-
come lost and wandered about. subsisting on
roots and berries until her mother persisted.

a Bear in Their Tent

Few men ever had grizzly bear
treading on their legs, and liv ed to tell
the story. Yet, according to q story told
by an English member OF parliament.
who made sporting tcJar through the
west, this actually hap oened to o hunter
named Bennett. H. and his two part
ners we're trapping in the Rocky Noun
ta1ns. Having secured a number of
pelts, one OF toe men went to the near
est trad1ng-pos to sell them and bring
back necessary stores.
Two or three nights after his depart
ture, che camp was visited by a bear.
The hunters had three tame beavers,
which the bear took away, and also a
quantity of meat. Thinking that the
animal would probably return to seek
for more spoil, they set trap. Hall
an antelopes carcass was pinned to the
| ground, string stretched around it and
fastened to the trigger of loaded rife
| pointed at the bait.
Some time in the night, the two hun.
tiers who were sleeping in their tent, were
awoke by the discharge of the rife. Or
going outside. they found cub Of the
grizzly bear lying dead. Resetting the
trap, they foolishly pulled the dead cut
inside the tent, and turned in again. L
was not long before they were aroused
by the she-bear, who had followed the
scent into the tent and had found it's cut
dead.
Her distress was great. She fondlet
the dead body, licked it and whined owe
It. The hunters scarcely dared breathe
much less stir, though the bear, in hel
movements, trod on their legs and feet
When she left the tent, they frantically
/ climbed the nearest tree. She soon re
turned and remained SO. long that the
men, whose only clothing were then
shirts, and the night being bitterly cold
were nearly frozen. When she again re
tired they descended, Lighted fire, de
claring that they wouldn't freeze t.
death for all the bears in the mountains.
Fortunately, the bear did not again visit
