Sixty years ago, (maybe better any ways it was when Harvey Miller was a kid) two big, black bears strolled into Butler early one summer morning, and Sam Beatty and Tom Mechling took af ter them and chased them clear up to Fairview twp. Ilarvey and the other small boys of that day weren't up early enough to see the bears, but they saw their tracks. (That was the first of a dozen or so told by a group of profes sionals, sitting under the maple, the other afternoon.) What the two bears wanted in Butler was never found out. Then H. H. Goucher told of a bear treeing him when he was a kid. Ilis dog left the com patch and followed al ter something ill the woods, Goucher followed the dog from curiosity, and the bear came at him and he skinned up a maple, and stayed there till his father rescued him. ! That wasn't much over 50 years ago.) Then he told another of helping an old hunter to kill a grizzley iu the mountains near Seattle. When you wound a grizzley he comes right at you and you must stand right np to your work and fight him. To run is almost sure death. Then John G. Christy told of his un <-le fighting a she bear,in tlx- woods near Greece City, and capturing hei two cubs, and making pets of them; arid an other time of shooting two young bear of! a tree. Some more bear stories, that our re porter could not remember, on account of the heat making him drowsy, were told, and then the talk degenerated to wild cat, deer and fish stories, and he was fast asleep.

Tin- Camp was ofli- ' cially opened, last Saturday morning by a salute of twenty-one booms. and Gov. Stone was the guest of honor, that afternoon. ' On Saturday the pipe line from the ; ! spring in the mountain to the Camp ' busted, and the boys went dry for a ' time, bnt they rallied and charged a stone-pile underneath which they found ! a tunnel leading to a greatly needed well of water, and jn-ace was declared, j Gen. Miller had threatened to make Lake Conewango overflow, by throwing the narrow guage railroad into it. but contented himself with telling the story of the Kentucky Colonel, who was dy lnir of thirst. On Monday the Division was reviewed , by Lieut. (i--n Mdm A Milw, Ot the I Regular-, an old Indian fighter who wip- , ed his classic brow and suffered terribly i from the heat while the boys went J marching coolly by. On Tuesday the water supply was yet j scant, and as it was drill all day ; several men were were carried off the t field on litters, and the regiidental doc 1 ters were kept busy. Yesterday was inspection day and the Division expects to break camp to mor row. Daring the encampment.
