FIND BIG BEAR Il, TRAP

Between Hunters and Bruin SUNDAY

Church GOers at Henry Watch Fight
Between Hunters and Bruin Sunday
The capture and killing of a huge
black bear on Sunday at Henry, about
fifteen miles from Oakland, on the
Western Maryland Railroad, broke I'D
religious services being held in
CHURCH nearby and attracted several
hundred persons to the scene. Stand
ing nearly six feet high, the bear,
which was one of the largest cap
tured in that section in years, and ex-
tremely vicious, put up a stubborn
fight before being killed. It was a
male and weighed 288 pounds.
The bear was caught in a large
trap set by Arnold Stahl, living near
Henry, following complaints and re-
ports of the depreciation of the animal
in that vicinity.
While en- route to church StahI with
several friends went to look Sunday
at the trap if any results had been OBJ
tanned and found bruin caught in the
heavy spring trap and in an angry
mood. %
Stahl and his party of amateur bear
hunters were only armed with revolv-
ers and the more they fired bullets
into the bear the more ugly and vic
ious he became. Finally when the mad
dened animal threatened to tear him.
self loose and wreak vengeance on his
captors, high-power rifle was
brought up and several shots ended his
career.
Hundreds came from the adjacent
country side to view the carcass of
the animal, magnificent specimen
of his species.
Later in the afternoon the animal
was skinned and the meat divided
up among the members of the hunt
ing party and their friends.
For several months there have been
complaints of farmers living in that
territory of the loss of their stock,
such as calves and sheep, being car
ried away by some larger animal. bat
now that the bear has been killed they
are content that losses from this
source will cease.

On memory of Mother. J

She is gone, but not forgotten"
More than month ago an angel con-
Voy came to earth to accompany Home
one of the grandest of Christian spir-
its. Oh, what a devoted soul she was
both to her Saviour and her family.
Though having very poor health for
years past, never once was she heard
to murmur word of complaint, but
always trying to comfort those of
her loved ones who were alarmed over
her condition, by God knows best;
and while am anxious TO remain vet
awhile if it is His will, am perfectly
willing to go if He wishes me to-"
Oh, the deep, earnest yearning of
our spirits for her love; the weary
aching void in our hearts; the hal
lowed emotions with which we cherish
the vision of mound in a quiet grave
yard; and the holy love, the feeling
akin to idolatry with which our
thoughts hover about an angel form
among the seraphs of Heaven, are but
evidences of vacancy in our lives
which can never be replaced; but why
should we sorrow when we know our
loss is her gain? While we mourn
she rejoices; and as we hang our harps
on the willows she is tuning hers to
the eternal orchestra above, reioic-
ing that ere long she can play the ac-
compartment for our entrance. May
we drown our sorrow in the flood of
light let through the rent veil in the
skies where Jesus entered, knowing
every step brings US nearer to her,
and the bright eternal home where
partings are never known.
Here let US wait with patience,
Wait till the night is Ger;
Wait till We see the morning
Break, on the Golden Shore.
