Kicks, His Pig, and q Bear.

{ pig, q bear, and Eleezer Hicks had q
race In tie woods on Lopez Mountain, near
scrat IN, Pa, last Saturday afternoon. Jast
bsfore TIE race hessn the pig YVES grrnhng
In box 10 the back end OF HiGk's low veg
or, and Hicks was sitting on tie se't and
le irg his old mare draw him and the pig
up the enowy road on walk.
It was nearly dusk when he 1T uck steep
D. Oh in the roed, mile and nalf from his
home, and the old mare had all abe could do
TO pull the load. Suddenly H'tk, felt some.
thing tuggiag at the rear OF the wegor, end
tle cid mare stepped. GIeDcipg around
Hicks epied bear clawiDg at ths stats on
tap of the pigs bcx, end he jumped TO bis
fae t ard gave the beer cut with bis whip.
The bear WINGED and sparled, aud another
cut OF the whip forced him to back { # from
the wagon. Iu doing so he clawed ell the
sls t. loose, and the pig sprang out OF the box
Mt once ard weut fquealing through tie
woods on lively oanter. The bear ran
IF or the pig es faI as be could wsddle. and
Hicks grabbed potato hook from under the
ser ard gsve chase.
The pig kept the bear fro N clewIrg 1t ~
dodglng between the trees at every few
iumps. and the bear licked his chops and
made several unsuccessful strikes at the pig.
Hicks was come distance behind ard was
putting in his best lioks TO catch up, when
the bear, in his frantic effort to sezs the pig,
ren against tree with 30 much force that
hs stumbled backward. Toe moment he re-
gained his feet Hicks hit bin terrific blow
IN the romp with potato hook. The sharp
points pierced the hide ard the beer bit a.
the wound for st coDd, and then dashed
away after he pie inst 10 time to escape an
other blow that HICKS aimed at him.
The bear was again gaining on the pig,
when the pig swung round In bali circle
and ran toward the road. The bear headed
1t off, turned it back, and was about to eeize
IL when Hicks caught up and drove the
tines of the potsto hook deep into the BEARS
back This time the hear turned on him,
and EicEs drove the tines Into the bears
snouf. The blood spurted In slresm and
che bear enorted and began to rub his nose
With both paws. Hicks then settled the
teeth OF the hook into the BEARS jugular vein
three or four times and the bear lay down
aud bled to death.
Il was nearly dark when Hicks recaptured
the frightened pig. He found 1t In gully,
and when he logged 1t back TO the road the
old mare wsa standing right where he had
left her. On Sunday Hicks and hs con got
the BEARS oarcass. It weighed 2S9 pounds.
