Last winter the report that two full-srown
bears were at large In the extensive woodland
on the Pratt estate at Glen Cove was generally
discredited, DESPITE the lttlo army OF persons
who were positive that they had encountered
them.
Within week evidence Of tho presence Of
bears has been plentiful. and the FIRST bear
was killed Monday night. 1t was taken to the
butcher shop yesterday and t-iumphantly
pointed out to skcptics by those whose stories
had been scoIed at last winter.
The dead boar is declared to have been less
than year old by experts, who nre now willing
to credit tho accumulating reports that there
are number OF relatives OF the dead animal
mourning their loss in the neighboring woods.

neiEhborhood OF this tragedy were examined
and declared to be those OF a boar. A posse
was formed and an impromptu tSar hunt was
organized with hounds. guns. axes. and bale
sticks
From the time the church bells were ring
ing In tho morning until midnight the hunters
beat the woods and fields without success. All
were up with the sun Monday morning and

Just as the party were again preparing to

bee line for home to make preparations they

, Others Of the party were in favor Of captur.

through the village streets. While the matter
was being discussed Brigham raised his shot
gun. loaded with buck shot, and fired at the
bear. One OF the buckshot went through its
eye into tho brain. and the first bear killed on
Long Island for many, years was Brgham's
prize.
The bear is believed to he one Of two cubs
which have been seen by the forme rly laughed
