WRESTLER TREED ON
BLACK MOUNTAIN
George w. Bailey Awakened to Find
Eyes Flashing and Hurled Stone
at Intruder.

George w. Bailey, the well-known
wrestler, spent several hours in tree
top of Black mountain in Dummerston
before daylight yesterday morning, pre-
ferring that position to being tackled
by an unknown antagonist. He climbed
the mountain Saturday night and went
to sleep in order to be in readiness to
pick blueberries the next day. About
| clock in the morning he was awak-
ened by cracking sound and saw two
shining eyes staring at him 10 feet
away.
He previously had equipped himself
with some small stones to use III case
of emergency and he let one of these
drive, striking the animal in the head
The blow appeared to send the animal
over backward and Mr.. Bailey started
hotfoot for the nearest tree. A few
minutes later Mr.. Bailey heard the ami
NAL move away, but he did not wish tC
take any chances and remained in the
tree until daylight. He says a purse OF
800 would not tempt him to stay on the
mountain top another night. He think:
the intruder was either a wildcat or {
small bear.

hog, which he had exhibited in a tent
at the fairs for three years, charging
10 cents admission.
One day a travelling man who was
passing through the town III which Mr.

asked if he might see the hog of which
he had heard so much. Ebenezer proud
ly red the way to the hoghouse, but at
the door he turned.
Cost YOU 10 cents, - he drawled.
