Wild Animals Plentiful in Webster
County, w. Va.

One day last week a man named
Shrooks, on Grassy creek, about five
miles north of Addison, went out to
chop down tree for firewood. He Sc
lected large tree and felled it. 1t
struck the ground and broke into sew
eral pieces being hollow, and imagine
Mr.. Brooks surprise to see a large
bear crawl from one of the pieces and
make off. Several men were soon in
pursuit Of bruin, but he made his es-
cape with only few slight wounds.
When last heard of the animal was
near Centraha, ON Elk river, going at
lively rate.
About fifteen persons and as many
dogs were all last week engaged in a
wolf chase on the waters of Back Fork
and Holly. Often they were close onto
the animal, but he managed to make
good his escape each time. At last re-
port he was considerably tagged and
surely almost starved, as during ten
days he was pressed, one pheasant was
all he had to eat.

THE BOARD
Of Education Held Special Meeting
Friday Evening.


A special meeting of the Board of
Education was held at the Office of DR..
Willis and the public generally knew
narght of the occurrence.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of discussion of the proposed new
project for new ward school house.
The committee made its report and
recommended that new ward build
ing be erected on the lot recently pur-
chased at the corner Of Fourth and
Marion streets. They also recon-
mended the erection of high school
building on site to be selected.
There was considerable argument
pro and con, and this would be good
for our readers, but they must ask the
members of the Board for the details of
the argument, as reporters were not
present.
1t is understood that some of the
members favored the purchase OF Eliz-
abeth College and to put the matter to
vote at the Spring election, while
others thought it would be bad idea
20 vote on issuing bonds at that time,
as it might serve to defeat both the
bridge and new building propositions.
The Clerk of the Board was instruct
ed to secure options on different prop
critics that might be available.

nickel and turned to open up a CONVEX

The Senator fidgeted i'm his seat a
