SHOT A 8EAB-
John Knouse, ot Elk Grove, has
the distinction of killing the brst
bear of the season. He was not
hunting at the time but was 011 his
way to his saw mill located above
Klk Grove. He was prepared for
an linergency however, and had
with him a shot gun. He was near-
ing his destination, when glancing
ahead he observed bruin in the
load. There was no time for deli
beration, he placed the gun to his
shoulder, squared himself and
blazed away. His aim proved good,
and the monster, took only a few
steps until he fell over, It is rare
that game of this sort is killed with
bird shot, but that is what the gun
was loaded with. The animal
weighed 280 pounds. It was pur
chased by Irviu Snyder of the
Exchange Hotel, and arrived here
yesterday.
Overheard In
Town Yesterday
"Hello ! John, how is your cold
this morning ?"
"All gone, thank you."
"Why, how is that? Yesterday
you were iu bed with a cold which
threatened to develop into pneu
monia." "Oh, I bought a bottle of Rish
tou's Cold-I-Curk and I am now
eutirely well."
"Don't it upset your stomach?"
"No indeed, and it is so pleasant
to take."
"How much is it ?"
"Only 25 cents a bottle."
"Thank you for telling me about
it, I will go right down to Rishton's
Drug Store and get a bottle."
