A Beat Shot in Manchester 
Woods Tuesday 
Had it been generally known that 
a bear was roaming at will in the 
woods hereabouts since last winter, it 
is likely that many of our North Shore 
folk, who delight in the beautiful wood, 
drives would have spurned their usual 
jaunts. Last fall a pet bear which 
Mr. and Mrs. Thos. G. Plant had 
brought home from a hunting trip in 
the New Brunswick woods, escaped, 
and despite all efforts to recapture 
him, the animal has since been at 
large. Tuesday morning, however, 
there was considerable excitement on 
Pine street, Manchester, in the vicinity 
of Augustus Burchsted’s  piggery. 
Bruin and a well grown terrier owned 
by Mr. Burchsted had met, and there 
was something doing. The bear very 
wigely concluded that a near-by tree 
was its best retreat. But after a 
while it ventured to earth again only 
to take to the tree once more. This 
time the dog kept it there until Mr. 
Burchsted returned at noon. 
He went to the scene of action to 
see what was the cause of the excite- 
ment and found his dog had treed the 
bear. He called the dog off. But 
lo! and behold! the bear started for 
the man. The dog put in a timely in- 
tercedence just about that time and 
took care of the animal until Mr. 
Burchsted had gone to the house to 
procure a gun. This he did, and it 
was soon all off with-Mr. Bear. 
The animal was afterwards taken to 
Mr. Plant’s place, West Manchester, 
but as Mr. and Mrs. Plant are still in 
Europe, it was returned to Mr. 
Burchsted,
