Three Casualties and NOTHING Shot

Three casualties and nothing captured
is the report made by two brothers named
snow, of Dover, who participated in
bear hunt a few days ago They drove
to East Dover to the home Of Charles
Turner and put their horse in Mr. Tur-
ner's barn. Then the three men started
out with two dogs owned by the SHOWS
to hunt for bear When they reached the
location where c. X. Jones and a party
of Brattleboro street railroad men camp
ed during the open season for deer they
sighted large bear and two cubs. They
opened fire, but the dogs and bears got
mixed up to such an extent that they
had to cease shooting. At length the bear
beat a retreat, closely followed by the
dogs, and soon the hunters were left be-
hind. a little later they came across the
carcass of one of the dogs, put out Of
commission by bruin. Soon afterwards
the second dog was found. alive but bad
ly hurt. He was in no shape for fighting
The bear and cubs were out of sight so
the men turned their steps homeward,
the Snow brothers lamenting their loss.
Misfortunes never come singly, so the old
adage goes. During the absence Of the
men the horse got loose and ate so much
grain that 1t died The animal was val
ued at $50.
