Thrilling Bear Story Fresh From the New

The woods are full of bears and hardly
a day passes without some wOodsmen
bringing a carcass or a fresh car skin
to some of the stations aang the line of
the Ulster & Delaware railroad, says an
Adeville, N. j., correspondent, The
latest exciting adventure with a bear oc-
cured a few days ago when Warren En-
derby, a woodsman living over on the
Millbrook mountains, came neau losing
his life. Enderly was in the woods peel
ing bark nearly on the crest of the noun
tain. At noon he sat down upon an old
hemlock log to eat his lunch, when sud-
denly he was seized from behind, pulled
over the log, and thrown rpoh the ground.
He then and there made the unpleasant
discovery that he had intruded upon the
privancy of an old she bear and that she
had recented it by knocking HIM off the
log.
As he went over Enderly yelled for Spot
a big bull terrier, which had accompanied
him into the woods. Spot had weakness
for hunting woodchucks on his own ac-
count, but when his master called him he
broke through the old brush and sailed In
to the old bear which was standing over his
old master. While the rumpus was going
on between the bear and the dog Enderly
hastily rolled out of their way and seized
his sharp ak. Taking blow at the bear
head he only .inficteG bad cut in the can

human foe.
The brute forced the fighting ard,
coming to close quarters. clawed Enderly
over the breast and shoulders in the most
frightful manner. The woodsman fought
