In the early settlement of the west part
of Glover, there was dense wilderness
in Albany bordering on it, which remain
ed unsettled for a long time. This forest
was favorite haunt for the bears which
made depredations on the cattle and sheep
of those living on its border On GER
tain day a huge bear was seen chasing
Elisha Wright'S sheep. Freeman Water
man, who lived near, ran up to the pas
ture and shouted loudly to the bear and
tried to drive him away, but he was so in
tent upon having a taste of mutton that
he followed the sheep through the bars
near the house. When he saw his close
proximity to the house, he turned back,
and In going through the bars became en-
tangled in them. Waterman rushed up
and caught him by the hind leg and shout
ed to Wright and to John Vance, who
had heard the cutlery, for help. Vance
had to hunt up an axe, and Wright to
load his gun, and before they got back
| Waterman was obliged to relinquish his
hold on the bear, which became very furi
Gus at being thus delayed. Wright fired
at him from distance but without effect,
and he made good his retreat to the adj
joining woods. 0. V. 2.
