1t Was the Eeaalt OF Meal

1t Was the Essalt OF a Meal OF
Dynamite.
Thomas Milne, New Yorker, whr
was visiting friends at Binghamton,
started with them on his first bear hunt
the other day, says the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. Footprints were traced
through patch of woods into a glen.
where they became partly obscured.
The ravine was q rocky wall, about 20
feet high, and near by two Italians
were at work excavating for railroad
switch to be used in the transfer of logs
to the main line. They were preparing
to thaw out quantity of dynamite
for blasting purposes. The hunters
left and returned later, when one Of the
Italians accused them of stealing the
dynamite they were preparing to thaw.
There was a rustling in the under
brush on the bank high above, and the
shaggy hide Of the long-sought bear
came into sight. Milne emptied both
barrels into the brute's head. The bear
aunged heavily forward and tumb1ed
over the bank. His fall was followed
by a terrific explosion. The hunters,
when they examined the remains, Or
fragments, OF the bear, discovered that.
he had been literally blown to pieces.
It Is supposed that he came upon the
dynamite that the workmen Ind pre-
pared to thaw, and finding it sweee.
and not unpalatable swallowed the
whole OF it. His internal heat had
thawed the dynamite, and in falling he
struck rock, causing the explosion.
Several windows in neighboring

on one large meadow was vet stsnfing,

he proceeded 20 bring out and exhibit
rare and interesting things, both new

the shadowy past, while Others came
from China and contained letters or
characters that Ii Hung Chang could
probably read much better than an
American. Next in order was specimen
Of the most Of the scrip currency used
