As ths three Pettibone brothers were
coming down Lye brook road one day last
week when this side OF the steam mill
they heard splashing IN the brook which
runs near the road. Thinking it to DO some
small animal, Leonard stepped upon the
bank to see what IL was and just at that
moment the animal, which proved to be a
large black bear, being also OF an investi-
eating turn Of mind, poked his nose up
through the bushes and stood up face TO
face not more than twenty feet away.
There was considerable winking and
blinking on both Sides but tho bear,
thinking that three to one WAS most too
many, wisely turned back and rapidly dis
mp the opposite bank Of the
brook. Len say she WAS not fright
any How would II have been II his two
big brothers had not been along?
