And, o\ Course, Comes Out DCinus Several Indispensable Farts of His Big AnatomyA black bear invaded J. F. Henry & Son's big sawmi.! at Lincoln, N. lithe other afternoon and tried to eat up the crew, but came to grief when , it started to knock out one of the big saws. ! The bear, a huge one, but lean from ■ Its winter fast, came down the wood^ on the bade side of the mill pond and crossed over on the boom of logs. The i fir3t seen of the brute was when h* \ was coming up with a yell that couk ! ba heard for half a mile. The man o~ : ihe slip threv.- in> both hands and diver. I off into the stream. Half a dozen me: I poked out their heads to see what th' I row was about. They got under cover j as soon as they could, j The men started back into tha mill : the bear after them. Up came the

The bear jumped on the carriage that mo-.es the log up to the j and saw and at the same time the marker gave a jump and disappeared. The sawyer, who liad not taken alarm, probably because the rip ot the saw had drowned all other noise, was ehe only man left in view. Now the hear, which had crawled upon the log, made a lurch for him. The motion of the log evidently deceived the bear, for he lurched up against the big bandsaw with a violence that nearly broke it in two. A rip in his shoulder only served to make the bear more desperate. Another big rip by the saw teeth practically put his right paw out of commission, and by that time the crew had rallied and knocked him out with canthooks and sledgehammers. The bear was one of the largest ever seen in this vicinity, measuring fully five feet and •<---'■;.« hirg 450 pounds. The skin will be patched and mounted and will be sent on to the St. Loul3 fair to be put on exhibition in the New Hampshire building.
