Probably the first bear killed in Harri'
son county for fifty years was killed on
what is known as the Ross farm, about
seven miles northeast of Clarksburg, last
Thursday morning, by Jesse Linville and
Joseph Watkins, two tenants occupying
portion Of the !, 300 acre tract of land
which has been in dispute between the
Fighters and Roses since 1872, and which
has grown up with briers and thickets I'M
Ill it has become a rendezvous for fOxeei
and for several days has furnished hid
ing place for bear, which ia supposed to
be the one that was seen on Brushy Fork
some time since.
About o'clock Thursday morning Mr..
Linville. hearing his dog barking savsgely
took his gun and started to investigate the
cause. He says when he got outside he soon
surmised the cause when he heard
commotion in his pig pen, and knowing
bear had been seen few days previous,
concluded it WAS the bear taking one OF
his pigs, and not wishing to extend his &C.
quaintauce under present circumstances
went back into the house TO wait for day
light. Mr.. Linville sent his wife to ap-
praise Joseph Watkins, near peighbor
of his theory, rs he did not like to leave her
by herself in the house.
They tracked the bear in the soft earth
and snow nearly a half mile, where they
found him in a dense thicket eating the
pig. They approached 10 within forty
yards, when they were startled BY q saw
age growl, the bear rearing upon bis hind
legs ready for the encounter. Liuville

aim and fred at his beast, killing him al
most instantly, having severed the arter-

men and boys were on tho ground. The
BEARS hide was sold for $40 to an oil leaser
from Wheeling named Branbaker. The
hams were preserved and the balance eaten
on the ground.
