Rome Tribune: The prize story of the year
comes from the top OF Lavender mountain at
point not many miles above Rome. And
here the way the story goes: A few days
ago Little Joe and Mary Robinson went out 70
pick some blackberries. They had become
separated By some fifty yards, and the silence
was only broken by the PUNK OF the berries
as they landed in the buckets. Suddenly Joe
heard his sister scream and heard a cracking
OF the bushes as something numbered up the
mountain side. Without a moments delay
Joe put out as fast as he could run in the 'dk
rectlon OF the screams. Soon he caught a
glimpse that Mortified him Going as fast as
possible up the mountain side was
big brown bear and in his mouth
was the screaming little girl. Without
weapon OF any kind and apparently without
thought Of danger to himself, Joe ran after
them. On up the mountain he chased them
every now and then calling out to his sister
not TO be afraid. Worn almost completely
out and painting from the hot chase, he neareC
bruin. Soon he was right behind, and with ne
tnOugnt except 10 save his sister, reached Ou
and caught the animal by hind ley. With
roar the animal dropped the girl and turned
upon Joe. Then tlse boy realized his danger
and new chase was started, this time witt
the bear as pursuer Joe ran until he sud
denly reached cliff where was sheer droI
OF some sixty feet. He turned and saw
the bear coming with all his might
hardly a dozen feet away. There wa
no time to even think. Probably without am
idea as to the result the plucky youngste
made great leap as bruin reached him.
was wondrous leap. Clear over the bear
head went the boy. On his mad rush wen

effort TO stop scramble, some falling dir

bottom tumbled his bearship. Joe didn't sto
to investigate further. He ran TO the plac
where he had left his sister, and found he
