HOW ISRAEL PUTNAM OUT
WITTED THE INDIAN BEAR"

In 1853, while General Lyman'S
army was encamped near Fort Edward,
N. T., during the French and Indian
war, sentinels at one outpost began
to disappear mysteriously. Night after
night soldier was posted there and.
the next morning could not be found.
Only the bravest men In the army
were selected for this post. General
Lyman gave orders for them to call out
who goes there?" three times. If they
heard any noise, and then If no answer
came, to fire. But the disappearance
continued until his men were panic
stricken and refused to take such q
dangerous station.
At last Israel Putnam, member Of
Major Rogers rangers, volunteered to
go on guard at that place and solve
the mystery. One hot summer night
he heard rustling In the leaves
nearby. The sounds were those
Of an animal scuffling about on the
ground for food and, peering through
the darkness, Putnam saw by the faint
starlight huge creature, which he
recognized as a bear, slowly sham
bling toward him.
Something In the bears gait aroused
the scouts suspicion. Putnam obeyed
the generals orders. He challenged
three times and then fred. A loud
groaning and struggling noise followed
and when the scout rushed forward
he found the bear In its death agony.
Then he turned the animal over. En-
closed in the shaggy skin. still clutch
ing tonahawk but stone dead. lay
a giant Indian.
The mystery was solved. The other
sentinels had believed it was a real
bear they heard and allowed the dar-
ing warrior to get near enough to use
his tomahawk before they learned
their mistake. No more sentinels dis
appeared.
Some time after this event, Putnam
was captured by the Indians, who
started to burn him at the stake. Just
a. the flames began to scorch his buck
skin garments. heavy rain began
to fall and put out the fire. The saw
ages collected more dry wood and
again began the torture. But again
they were fooled.
A French officer appeared upon the
scene. dashed through the ring of
flame, kicked the blazing brands right
and lsft and released the scout, telling
Indians that he must send Putnam
ontreal to be questioned by Gem
1fonfcalm. Putnam was held
