A Godsend

The refreshing rain of last Mon

one and will bring a good price.

SHEEP KILLER BIG BEAR.
Pennsylvania Farmers Put an End
to the Destroyer Of Their
Flocks,

One OF the blacklist and bloodiest
robbers ever known in Potter county
was caught near Prouty in a wolf trap,
reports the Philadelphia Record. The
robbsr had stolen and killed IA sheep
from yarious farmers within three
weeks, and as each sheep was worth
seven collars the mutton was worth al
most a. much as the robber-a big
black hear.
Morning after morning following
raids nron the fiocks half eaten car
cases of sheep were found at the edge
of fields or along old roadways. The
farmers at first thought the slaughter
was the w9rk of lynx, of which there
are several known in that section. But
one morning they found caught in the
big-jaw wolf trap which had been
set the nl@tt before with a generous
piece Ct mutton the biggest black bear
that lie had ever seen. And the bear
was mad-mad as hornet-but bull
let from a rifle killed him.
The bear weighed little better than
300 pounds. The farmers around Prouty
who lost sheep each had bear meat for
dinner the next day.
