Der Camp.
Much of Clinton and Lycoming counties
remain wild and abound in animals that in
habit such territories This season number
of bears and deer and considerable other
game have been killed there Recently two
young bears were killed near G. E. Titmans
lumber camp in Lycoming county. Last
week Mr. Titman, who recently moved from
town to Williamsport, decided to have good
hunt instead of a house warming and invited
a number of gentlemen from Schuylkill
county to join some Wllliamsport friends and
himself in the sport. The party left Williams
port on the Fall Brook Railroad and went to
Cammel, where Mr.. Titman's Trout Run
Railroad commences. Here they boarded
an observation car which was attached to a
lumber train and shot up the heavy incline
at pretty lively rate Arriving on the flat
several miles from Cammel the party alighted
Lunch was served in building used as a
boarding house and Office by the lumber men.
The place is in Lycoming county and the
land is cleared of heavy timber for hundreds
of yards around, but short distance from
the station the timber is thick, very high
and almost impenetrable in some places.
After refreshing themselves the party started
out for a hunt under the leadership of Mr..
Titman. They wandered about for several
hours the leader following log roads in all
directions. The surprise of the party
can be better imagined that expressed
when, on making turn in one Of
the roads the hunters found them
selves face to hce with mammoth she bear
that was shufling itself in their direction.
1t was a huge vicous.looking brute and
when it caught sight of Titman's ample body
it stopped and uttered blood curdling growl.
Titman was turned into something like an
iceberg such as Peary describes in his report
of the recent Arctic expedition. The hunters
behind him were equally paralyzed. Sud
denly one of them shouted "Shoot, Charley,
shootw Titman's weight has disqualified
him for the sprinting class and he realized
that he was cornered. He collected his
nerve and raised his gun and Bang!" she
went. The aim was good one and the bear
toppled over Titman fired again, but the
bear only stretched herself out and trembled
in the thrOes Of death. The huntsmen
grouped themselves and held a consultation
of war. They concluded to count ten
minutes and if her bruinship would not get
up by the time the gong sounded they would
declare her knocked out The brute had
already stretched herself for the last time
and when the ten minutes were up she had
| al 80, ~
returned to camp and two lumber men were
sent out for the carcass. The bear was
supposed to have been the mother of the
young bears previously killed. Titman was
the hero of the hour and he felt like one.
But while he told his guests that he was
sorry they could not remain longer and hunt
up another shot he confdentially told a
HERALD reporter that he would have shot
the first man who would suggest prolonging
the visit He will have the bear skin
stuffed and send it to Max Reese to replace
the atter's famous Russian Overcoat.
