TRUE BEAR StoRIES.—For the past two or three weeks neighboring county papers have been publishing bear stories and we were constrained to wonder what was wrong with the Centre county hunters that they could not show up a bruin. But the delay in so doing was no doubt becaose Centre county bears are more wily than their consins in neighboring counties, but even Centre county bears cannot escape the “Davy Crocketts’’ of this section. Last week we told how Shorty Quick, of Mo- shavnon, killed a two hundred pound bear while out bunting for pheasants, and how Dan Patterson, of Fergason township, was so badly scared by meeting a bear in the woods which he thought was bigger thav a cow and now comes the story of Frank Middleton, of Philipsburg, a young man hut twenty-two years of age, on last Thursday killing a bear in a bunch of woods along the Moshannon ereek, just below Fryberger’s mill, near Philipsbarg. The bear, which was a monster weighing 350 pounds dressed, bad been chased off of Derby hill by several young men out hont- ing pheasants. The carcass was sold toan Altoona party for fifty dollars. A BEARSTORY FROM HUNTINGDON COUNTY. Porter J. Cox was hunting for turkeys in the harrens a wile south of Warrios- mark last Saturday, when he came upon a big black hear. Mr. Cox fired a load of turkey-shot into brain which then hustled away, raoning plump iato the garden of Heury Houck’s farm at Dry Hollow, where threshers were at work. The threshers emptied two loads of fine shot into the bear which then attempted to get over the fence and away, but a club in the hands of one of the men came down over the ani‘ mal’s head and killed it. The bear weigh- ed 285 pounds. While the killing was going on, Mr. Cox bad gooe for a dog to trail the brute. He soon came to the Houck farm and on finding that the bear was killed be demanded the hide as his property. The men refused to give him the hide but gave him a share of the meat. Mr. Cox was vot satisfied with this ad- justment, so he went before Squire Faonk and got out a warrant which Constable William Kinch served on Mr. Houck. The latter gave up possession of the hide to the constable and the man who shot it first will probably secure it. ove WiLL BuiLp BiG MACHINE AND REPAIR Suors.—The Eyre—Shoemaker Constroc- tion company, of which T. Larry Eyre, of West Chester, and Thomas A. Shoemaker, of Bellefonte, are the leading members, recently purchased from Edward B.

From other points along the line the crowd was in- creased until she total number from Centre county was one hundred and thirty-five. The regular train was drawn by two loco- motives and at Spring Mills they both left the track, which delayed the train four hours, so that the exoursionists did not reach Harrisburg until about three o'clock, and just got inside the capitol when it be- gan to rain.
