Albany Herald: The mangled body of an
unknown man was found upon the railroad
track at Harrisburg yesterday morning,
having been run over and killed by the
freight train, which arrived about o'clock,
being several hours late cry was heard
| as the train left the station, but the cause
was not ascertalned until the next morning,
when the mangled body was found. he
was roughly dressed and there was no trace
as to his identity. He had no money or
| papers. An inquest was held and the body
| was buried.
A bear story comes to us from Rockland
| that is of considerable interest. Last Sun
day man with loaded rifle chased
black bear mile and half and managed
to get one shot at him; but bruin succeeded
In evading HIM. Soon afterwards the bear
was chased into the field of Mr.. jeff Trips,
about a halt mile from the house, and that
gentleman mounting his pony gave chase to
bruin and fired at hiui. The bear fell, and
Mr.. Trips dismounted and was about to
dispatch the animal with q bowie knife,
when he raised on his hind legs and came
In d very threatening attitude after the
gentleman. Not having time to point his
gun he clubbed it and hit the bear In the
head, knocking him partially down. Again
he raised on his hind feet and this time sue
ceeded in grabbing the leg of Mr.. Trips in
one Of his paws. By great effort he freed
himself, and dealing desperate blow to |
the bear rendered it unconscious and then |
poured the contents of the rife into the |
body. Mr.. Trips was joyful man when
he saw the bear dead; for IN the struggle he
had become nearly exhausted, and could
not have continued the fight In the same
plucy manner but a few minutes longer.
