SPEED LIMIT IS
BROKEN BY BOY
When Confronted by Big
Black Bear He Starts For
Home in Record Time
Huntingdon, Pa., July 15.—James
Whitcomb Riley's big black bear
story has nothing on Ralph
Zook, 16-year-old son of Herbert
Zook, of Mifflin street, nor did Ralph
have any tree to climb. Young Zook
was sent by his mother to the woods
to get bean poles. He had been out
to the end of Warrior Ridge and had
secured a nice lot and tied them up
in a bundle and with poles and hat
chet was about to start home when
his eye caught sight of a little cub
in the underbrush.
While Ralph was sizing up the lit
tle fellow and attempting to make
his acquaintance his attention was
attracted by a deep growl further
on in the woods and when he raised
his eyes he saw the large mother
bear standing on her hind legs with
her eyes straight on Ralph.
It did not take the boy long to
size up the situation and in less
time than it takes to tell it he was
on his way toward home on hign
gear, paying no attention to speed
limit. In his hurry he forgot the
bundle of poles and his hatchet and
when he arrived home he was also
minus his hat.
