BEAR ON THE TRACK.
Fine Specimen Killed by Engineer
r Gardner's Train, Near Glen Eyre.
Fpecial to Hip Sirinlon Tribune.
Honesdale, Oct. 28. The veteran en
gineer, Benjamin Gardner, who was
recently honored with a banquet at the
.Allen house, met with a singular ex
perience on bis last trip from Laeka
waxen to Honesdale, on Thursday
evening. When about a half-mile west
of Glen Eyie, he encountered a monster
black bear on the track. Bruin fe.iled
in his attempt to derail the locomotive,
hut was knocked out In the Wrst round,
and rolled off the track, bleeding and
dying. He weighed thiee hundred and
sixty pounds.
Previous to this, two bears have been
seen around this locality. Mr. Gard
ner, during his many years of railroad
ing, has encountered landslides, snow
drifts and chased deer on the track,
but never before has he (had an en
counter with a bear. As usual, Mr.
Gardner escaped without Injury to
himself or train.
TUNKHANNOCK.
Special to the Scranton T.iliuno.
Tunkhannock, Oct. 28. The West
PIttstor. and TunkhannMck foot ball
teams played here Saturday afternoon,
the game resulting in a score of 11-.".
in favor of Tunkhannock. Pictston
scored once In the first half and failed
to kick a goal, while b')'h of Tunk
hnnnook's scores were made In thu
second half of the game, the last just
before tho call of time. The teams
were evenly matched and the game
was close and interesting at all stages.
C J. Sumner, Prohibition candidate
for senator in this district, whose
home Is nt New Mllford, Bradford
county, was In town on Saturday In
the interest of his candidacy. Owing
to the fact of the Republicans having
no candidate for senator In their col
umn on the oflieial ballot, the Demo
cratic and Prohibition candidates seem
to think there Is a chance for them
to pull through. While the vote for
R. S. Edmiston, the Honest Govern
ment candidate, will undoubtedly be
decreased somewhat throughout the
district, still the Republican majority
Is so large that there seems to be but
little chance for any other candidate.
Miss Anna Sterling, of Meshoppen,
rvns in town on Saturday afternoon.
G. X, Doyle, commissioners' clerk,

von. He will move his family here
