Show TRAIN STALLED BY BEARS Held Up in Pennsylvania Woods for Half Hour by Bruins Engineer Engi-neer Has Scare. Johnsonhurg, Pa. A log train on the Dahoga & Highland railroad was heliJ up for a half hour by two large black bears south of Highland. The log train was moving slowly uy the hillside when Engineer Johnson discovered the two bears, weighing about 300 pounds each, standing oij the track a few hundred feet ahead of the train. As the train approached the spot they failed to move. Johnson pulled the bell cord, but. the clang of the bell or the blast of the whistle failed to frighten the bruins, who stood and gazed at the approaching ap-proaching train. Knowing that it would be impossible to kill the bears at the speed his heavy train was moving up the hill, and fearing an attack if he injured them, Johnson stopped the train, and badly frightened, watched the bears for about half an hour, when they slowly wandered off into the forests. |
