Show THIS BEAR IS BULLET-PROOF Three Slugs From Rifle Fail to Stay Onrush of Bruin in Pennsylvania Pennsyl-vania Wilds. Lewisburg, Pa. Samuel Crone, a Shamokin butcher, encountered a hear that weighed about 400 pounds, dropped the animal with a builet from his rifle, but was startled to see the bear rise and, howling with pain, race toward him on all-fours. Two more shots were fired and struck the tough hide of the animal, inflicting painful wounds, but each time the bear refused to stay down, and by the time It was ten feet in front of Crone the latter's weapon jammed. Desperate, the hunter decided to battle with the stock of his rifle as a club and stood his ground as the animal ani-mal rose on its hind legs as if to rush him. Suddenly the bear changed its mind, turned and ran limping into the woods. |
