FLED TO a CAVE FROM FIRE.
There Met a Bear, and Saw Snakes
Ride Bruin Bareback.

FROM the New ! Ofk EreSS.
WillamSpOrt. June civilian Sherer of
this city had a thrilling experience sun
day night in the fires blazing in the noun
tain forests in the Beech Creek region,
Clinton county. In order to escape The
flames, he sought cave, where later
a bear and many rattlesnakes and black
snakes became his companions.
Last season he was employed in the
bark woods up there, and observed signs
of what he believed were Viens OF BIZ
luminous coal. Two weeks ago he went
prospecting. on Sunday he reached q
raVine through which a small stream ran.
1t YVES then that he first noticed that a
forest fire was raging north of him on
a plateau covered with cuttings" of sew
eral seasons bark and timber.
The pitchy boughs and debris of the
pine and hemloCk trees made delightful
food for the flames. Sherer observed
many snakes making toward the litle
stream that flowed through the ravine,
where they placed themselves along the
waters edge in order TO escape desruct-
ion by the flames.
Sherer suddenly thought of his own well
fare He started to the south, found that
way impossible then to the east, and
was cut Off by flames. Attempts in other
directions proved that he was encirclec
by a forest fire. Sherer was frightened.
He climbed TO the highest point of the
cliff, and viewed the situation. The
flames were climbing to the tops of the
highest trees, ana shower of sparks
was falling round him.
From his high position the coal pros
pccJor observed q caVe-like aperture ir
the rocks some distance away. on his
hands and knees he crawled over the edge
of the Cliff toward it. Near il there was
a little stream, hemmed in by greer
bushes. He got into the cave.
Sherer had just gained his place Of
safety when a big black bear dropped
over the cliff
There was surprise on both sides. Tn,
bear showed by its actions that the stran
ger was occupying its home. The spark:
that were falling were burning the bear
