SHEEP-KILLING BEARS. 
In the Williams River country of West Vir¬ 
ginia the bears are greatly on the increase and 
there is a blue glass settlement about the ex-* 
treme head of the river called Beaver Dam 
which has all but been driven out of the sheep 
business by bears. This is a hardship to small 
land owners who.se farms lie at too great an 
elevation to raise grain. 
On the Black mountain run one man claimed 
to have identified the signs of 1,17 bears in one 
day’s hunt, says a correspondent of the Rural 
World. That seems a good many bears,, but 1 
have hunted and fished so long, and told about 
my adventures at so many camp-fires, that I 
cannot consistently deny anything. Neverthe¬ 
less, every now and then a hunter runs on a bear 
and kills it. Premeditated killing of bears is 
rarely known, as this wisest of the forest animals 
knows well now to avoid men. A rabbit is 
courageous compared to a black bear. 1 his 
shows the superior intelligence of bruin. , 
About twenty years ago an unarmed fisher¬ 
man killed a bear with a large stone at the Red 
Hole. He was resting at the top of a precipi¬ 
tous bank of Mauch Chunk shale when a bear, 
chased by dogs, came into the river and passed 
at the foot of the bank. The man cast a large 
stone down upon it and stunned it so that he 
was able to kill it. It was a two-year-old. The 
occurrence is well authenticated. 
The skeepkillers are generally the biggest 
bears of them all, and are very wise. The) 
never enter a field without first making a com 
plete circuit to see if a man has^ crossed the 
fence. If he has. they “withdraw.” One sheei 
raiser found that hanging half a dozen lighten 
lanterns about his farm caused the bears to leavi 
bis flock severely alone.
