NEW HUNTING RECORD.
New Yorker Shoots Three Bears BY
Design and One BY Accident. Il,

Montcellio, n. Y. Nov. 25.-William
Miner of Grahamsville has established
a new bear killing record. He shot
and killed three by design yesterday,
then slew fourth by accident.
AS he tells the story, he noticed bear
tracks near his home yesterday and
took up the trail, which led him to a
ledge of rocks and cave. He built
smoke fire and waited. In five min
utes out shambled big black bear.
He fired and killed it instantly. With
in a period of 20 minutes two other
bears came coughing from the rocks
and each was killed. Then Miner de-
cided to crawl into the cave in search
or cubs. The cave was narrow, but
he managed to squeeze in, only to be
confronted by a 300-pound male bear
In his cramped position he could not
use his gun. but drew hunting knife
and began driving the blade in the ami
mails chest and ribs. They struggled
madly for moment, then, as Miner
says, the gun was discharged and the
bear fell dead.
