When within about ten.feet of the bear Orr observed 1t rising on its front feet and thereupon shot it through the heart. By that time the bear had gained such momentum that 1t ran completely over the unfortunate hun ter, grappling the helpless man in q death struggle. Bryan, during this
 part of the struggle was coming down a small hill and was unable to shoot the bear because Orr was between

The boys wore out their knees
praying for some dampness two
weeks ago. Just now they are

The reason is that the continual

most of the green's. Those which
have a natural drainage are II
right. but those which are so built
that the water does not drain, are
being "rotted" away.
Bare spots have appeared n
every green in the city. The rain
has made the greens quagrnires,
and the lack of sun has done the
rest. Many of the courses report
huge growths of toadstools and

Test holes are being bored at the city pumping station in Forestyille to determine whether the soil can yield sufficient water 10 warrant construction of second pumping outfit at that point.
 The present station, which was constructed at q cost of Sl9,o10 sends approximately 2,S0O.000 gal Ions Of water into theS Burlington service pipes daily and has q maxi mum capacity of 3,00O,000 q day.
