BOAR, BEAR AND BULLDOG.
Three Animals in Fierce Battle-Bruin
Kills Both Adversaries But
Is Then Shot.

Wind Gap, PA fierce battle be-
tween a boar, bear and bulldog in the
dead of night was the most exciting oc-
currence that has stirred this place in
MANY years. Samuel w. Hoffman, a
wood-chopper, was awakened by an un-
earthly chorus of roars, squeals and
yelps. He jumped out of bed, and, with
out waiting to dress, grabbed his rifle
and hurried to the pig pen.
In front of the pen Hoffman found his
boar. his bulldog and a black bear in
conflict. The three were so mixed up
that Hoffman did not dare to shoot.
Finally the bulldog was thrown into the
air dead, and the boar killed with a few
more blows. Then Mr.. Bruin shambled
off. but Hoffman shot him.
The bear had climbed into the pigsty,
killed a pig, and had been attacked by
the boar. In the fight the pen was torn
down and the bulldog joined the rumpus.
The bear weighed over 300 pounds.
Hoffman was nearly exhausted from the
cold when the battle ended.
