YOUNG MEMS FOOLISH FREAK.
A Laden Car Rushes Down a Steep Incline,
killing Three Men

BRADFORD, Aug. 19.-Anson L. Pratt, fire.
man on the Campbell Lumber Railroad, near
Kane, this county, was killed to-day, and
John Calvin, the engineer, and an unknown
young man were fatally injured in an acci-
dent. Pratt and Calvin were engaged in
making up a train of bark cars in the woods,
and left one car on the summit of steep
grade on the road, while they started to
pull another car from a siding near by.
They had placed blocks of wood under the
wheels of the car on the hill to hold it, but
while they were busy with the lower car two
young men came along and knocked the
blocks from beneath the wheels.
The liberated car sped like the wind down
the grade toward the engine. One of the
young men, whose name is still unknown,
was on the cal which he had helped to start,
but when it gained such great speed he
leaped off and was so badly injured that he
has been unconscious since and will not re-
cover. Calvin and Pratt were in the engine
at the time and had not the slightest init
NATION that heavily laden car was rushing
toward them with lightning speed, or they
could easily have escaped. The tender and
car came together with a terrible crash, and
both men were jammed up against the
boiler and covered with wreckage. Pratt
died instantly, one leg being cut of, and he
was fearfully mangled. Calvin was pinned
against the boiler and had one leg crushed
TO q pulp, while he was scalded to the bone
BE was taken to Kane, where his leg was
amputated, and dispatches from there say
that he viii not survive the night.

Black Antagonist.


HAzLEroN, Aug. 19-Nicholas Williams, of
Beaver Meadows, came into town to-day
bearing marks OF n terrible fight he had with
a bear on Quaquake Mountain. Early this
morning, while he was driving up the steep
side OF that mountain, his horse suddenly
SHE'D at a black object in the middle of the
road, and the horse made frantic attempts
to escape into the woods. Williams tried to
coax the animal past the object, bpt in vain,
and Williams struck Mt the black object,
which he imagined to be n dog. The animal
proved to be a large black bear, which rose
from a crouching position and started in
pursuit of the man, who lashed his horse up
the steep hill.
The bear, however, easily gained on the
horse and crawled into the back of the
buggy, only to be pushed out by Mr.. Will
Jams Twice again the bear crawled into
the rear end of the vehicle, and twice more
was the brute showed to the ground, Will
Jams receiving several severe scratches in
the encounter. When the summit of the
mountain was reached the flying horse soon
left the bear far behind. A party of hunters
organized at once, and with dogs are trail

hide before morning.
