A bunting tale comes down from the
jungles of Jenks township which just
makes a fellow itch to shoulder his gun
snd get into the chase. S. T. Carson, of
Tioneata, is the contractor drilliog a well
for the Sboffstall heirs on the Shoffstall
farm, on the Guiton vllle road, three miles
this side of Marlenville, and with himself
Charles Blum, Charles Butler and Sam.
Anderson, all of this vicinity, are mem
bers of the crew, That crew doesn't
take a back seat lor anybody In drilling
and In bunting too, for that matter, for
in their spare time during Ihe last week
they, in company with Charles Cube,
Alex and Louis Allison, of Shlppenville,
Edward Rudd, of Pittsburgh, Alex Bell,
of Gilfoyle, Mr. Peters and Boyd Slneo
engost, o'f Marlenville, have bagged a big
bear, two wildcats and a coon. But the
bear bunt 1b responsible fur this story
snd took place Tuesday of last week
when Mr. Rudd and Mr. Butler found a
bear's tracks on the headwaters of Sal
mon creek. As they were not looking
for such big game, and didn't want their
dog battered up, and as they hadn't loat
any bear anyway, they concluded to pass
bruin up and chase the festive bunny.
Mr. Blum found the trail shortly after
ward but as he was under strict orders to
return to the well at noon was obliged to
shoulder bis pea sllnger aud give up the
chase, after notifying the other hunters.
Anderson and Shrecengost volunteered
to chase the bear out and the other hunt
ers were stationed where It waa thought
be would pass. After a short chase the
bear was routed from bis nest aud as he
rose to bis biud feet Shrecengost got a
standing shot and missed. Anderson
kept up the chase and Ihe hunters declare
they could bear bim yelling for two miles
"He's comln', fellers!" The bear passed
close to the Messrs. Allison, Cobe and
Bell, and was brought down with five
one-ounce balls from repealing shotguns
in his body, tie dressed .10 pounds and
waa a magnificent specimen with a fine
coat. Mr. Shrecengost secured the hide
aud will make a rug of it. The tracks ol
a second bear, which appeared even lar
ger than this fellow, were found near the
same place.

estimated at $10,000 covered by Insurance.
It was shortly before S o'clock Monday
morning that the tannery caught Are it is
supposed from a gas light turned on by
men going to work, so high it Ignited the
woodwork. The fire was burning fiercely
when discovered. Aid was asked of
Sheffield, the department of that town
making the run In 15 minutes. When it
arrived, though, the blaze waa under con
trol. It waa due to a clever bit of work
on Ihe part of Superintendent Lester
Swanson that tbe main partof the tannery
was saved. He broke a steam pipe con
necting tbe two structures. The steam
kept tbe flames off and saved Ihe dry loft,
25 feet away from the rolling house, which
was completely destroyed. Part of the

RECENT DEATHS.
WKLLKR.
Abraham Lincoln Weller was born at
Buck Mills, Klngsley township, Forest
county, Pa., Nov. 11, 1860, and died at his
borne at Kellettviile, Pa., Deo. 10, 1011,
after an Illness of nearly three months,
involving the heart and liver. He en
dured bis suffering uncomplainingly and
msde a brave fight against the inevitable,
and on Saturday, when be realized that
the end was near, he bade his family good
bye, and said he was ready to go.
Tbe deceased was a bou of Mr. aud Mrs.
Audrew Weller, residents of lor.g aud
honorable stsnding of this county, aud we
believe this death is the first break to oc
cur in tbe lami'y. November 18, 1887, in
Tiooesta, Abraham was united in mar
riage with Miss Elizabeth Guenther, tbe
late Rev, C. C. Rum berger officiating at
the wedding. To this union four sons
were born, namely Leroy, Ross, Reed
and Roe, ail of whom, with the mother
survive. Besides bis parents tbe deceased
la also survived by three brothers and
two sisters, John, formerly of Newtown,
now of Warren county; George of Ziues
ville, Ohio; Benjamin and Mrs. John
Burbeon of Starr, Pa., and Mrs. Maude
Berlin of Clarion.
With the exception of a few years that
his parents resided In Tioneata, Mr.
Weller'a home bas been in Kingsley
township, where since his marriage he
bas been engaged for the most part in
lumbering and jobbing, at which be bas
been quite successful, having, at the time
of his taking down with sickness beeu
engaged In cutting and manufacturing
the timber from a large tract of laud on
Salmon creek above Kellettviile. He
was prominent as a Mason and Odd Fel
low In wbiob fraternities be bad long held
a membership. For many years he bed
held tbe office of school director in his
township, in which capaoity be took a
great Interest in tbe upbuilding of the
educational Interests of his community.
In deposition, Abe, as he was familiarly
known to bis friends, waa one of tbe
kindest of men, aud we doubt whether
any one ever saw him in an angry or irri
table mood, thus he bad a large circle of
friends in the community In whicb be
spent bis whole lile, and he will be
missed aa few men are by all who knew
bim. To bis bereaved family the sympa
thy of all goes out In their loss of a de
voted husband and father.
Today at 10 o'olock tbe funeral services
will be conducted at bis late home, fol
lowed by the interment in the Zuendel
chnrcb ceaiotery, near Starr postuflice.
