last Thursday by report that q
large black bear was roaming about
IN that community. The bear was
first seen in Mr.. Ohio Hardesty's
corniield by Mr.. Hardesty's two
young sons, Walter aud Rodger.
They reported the fact to their faith
er who, with party, made a thor
ough search Of his cornfield and
those adjoining, but found no bear.
1t is believed by some that the ami
NAL seen by the boys was a large
black dog. since no trace of bear
can be found.
