James Lawrence and James McClain
while driving from Wellsville to Ham
mondsville on a recent evening, met
with an animal which they took to be a
black bear. 1t was lying on the road
near Yellow Creek and caused their
horse, quiet one to take fright and
plunge over a steep declivity below.
The bear then very deliberately arose
and shambled off into the bushes which
line the road at that place. The men
not being armed thought it unwise to
pursue the animal, although 1T ap-
peared almost exhausted from some
cause. 1t is supposed to have been
driven from the mountains by the
forest fires which have been raging
there recently in this vicinity.
