Two Boys kin a Bear.

Eugene Day, of New Portland, lives on
the Millay hill, near the large forest ex-
tending back to the Kingfeld mountains
Bears are quite often seen in that vicinity.
Ab6utene week ago Mr.. Day set two large
traps back of his house in the woods,
thinking that Bruin would be travelling
this time of year. Thursday morning Mr..
Day went away from home leaving Mrs.
Day;and his boy Willie and Mrs. Days son,
Tenny Pierce, about fifteen years old, at
home.
Hearing the cry Of bear In the woods
near the traps, the two boys loaded gun
with buckshot, putting a bullet on top of
the shot, and went to the trap, finding a
300-pound bear caught just by one foot
above the claw. He had apparently been
in the trap but short time and faced the
boys. Nothing daunted, Tenny Pierce
opened fire and BY lucky hit killed the
bear the first shot. Had he not killed him
the bear would have pulled his foot out
and made short work Of the boys.
The boys next proceeded home, and har-
Messing q S-year-oldtcolt to drag went to

are quite proud of their exploit. = Eastern
