A Legacy Awaiting ANY Massachusetts
Town Calling Itself Cushman.

Bcs-oS. Dec ~ Through the death cf
Mrs Anna +. Cushman at Salem last week
an odd beoucst in the will Of her husband
the late Henry W. Cushman Lieutenant
Governor II Massachusetts under GOV
George :. Boutwell, becomes operative.
Mr. Cushman If thr sum Of $4,000 ~ his
widow for life and ordered that upon her
death the money vas 10 be paid over TO the
first town ia Massachusetts that dropped
it's own corporate name and adopted that Of
Cushman. Already two towns have been
mentioned az being likely to make a bid for
the money. for sucha sum does not hang on
every bush even In Massachusetts,,
BeTnara-ton. small town in the BerN
Ehiges, the birthplace Of Lieut. COY Curn-
man, is considered most likely 10 try to get
the money Unacr TIE provisions Of the
will BcmaTdston has iist chance M The
money, and in case It does not accept the
conditions then she first town 81 NOT ic--
than 1000 inhabitants to adopt the name
takes the prize Some Of the residents are
in favor 81 taking the money, but other
ale strongly opposed TO masking the pace
a memorial 10 Lieut. Gov, Cushman just
because be was born there.
Onset Bay, which Is included In the old
township of NarchGm, has a petition on
file AT the state House for separation from
Wareham and the Cushman oner II recog-

through the Legislature al the coming
session. Last year the petition was re-
ferled TO the next Legislature by the Com
mittee on Towns.
One difficulty is that the new town! pro-
vided IL becomes such. may have some
difficulty in fulfilling the population re-
uuirements OF the testator. IL Will take
pretty close figuring and the counting OF
noses later IN the season than May l 10
secure n tally of ! coo bona fde residents

town OF Onset.
II no town in Massachusetts complies
with tho conditions of the will within five
years after the death of Mrs Cushman. any

RAMBLE or A NAMED BEAR.
100 Miles or So Through the Catskills.
so Pound Log Tied TO HIS Foot.

PINE HILL, y. Y, Dec. 3l-A bear shot
near Livingston Manor, Sullivan county a
few days ago had one Of it, forepaws fast
in bear trap to which was attached a chain
and log weighing probably fifty pounds.
The trap had on it a metal tag bearing the
name Of Henry Garrison, Millbrook. Greene
county, y. Y The bear, a male, weighed
more than 300 pounds,
When inquiries were made u was learned
that the trap with tue cham and log, which
had been laid under a heayy stone, had
been set in the Millbrook Mountains. spur
of the Catsklls IN Greene county, on Dec. u.
The next morning trap. chain and log were
gone The tracks Of the bear were followed
all that day. but that night there was
heavy snowfall and the trail was lost The
owner Of the trap failing 20 rick IN the
Trail again ahandonedit. The bear plunge
into the wilderness and crossed the full
width Of Ulster county from Greene into
Sullivan, travelling from 50 10 100 miles,
dragging the trap. chain and log with him
and going on three legs
Several times his trail was picked up
by hunters but in the heavy snow which
fell every night the tracks were lost again.
Last week the brute must have Iassed
through the full length Of the main street Of
DCwlttyille, as there were bear tracks and
the traces Of a dragging log in the street
next morning When the animal was shot
that part Of the foot held in the tap
was frozen hard as a stone, while the leg
above the trap was warm and bloody
When the hunters who shot him tried to
remove the trap they broke OF the frozen
part Of the foot.
The marvel OF the travels Of the mnimed
brute Is that he travelled nearly or quite
100 miles through the most tangled country
in the Catsklls. over mountains, through
deep ravine- across several railroads.
many highways and mountain streams and
though dragging a chain and heavy weight
after him. did not either become entangled
frozen foot or be chased by hunters and
hounds. He was finally shot in a neghbor-
hood comparatively well populated.
And this bear had his ramble within 125
miles Of New York, the second greatest
city in the WorlL
