A Dog and Bear Fight.

On Wednesday evening Mr. Nat Bagwell, in company with one or two of his neighborhood, were out in tiie woods two miles north of Bobinsonville, Bed Biver county, Tex., hunting for wild hogs. They came upon a dead hog, just killed and half devoured by some wild animal, and, looking around, they saw a few yards off in the bushes what at first appeared to be a huge hog, but what proved to be a very large bear. One of the party proceeded to a neighbor’s bouse to get dogs to make the attack, while the others remained to watch the wild beast. The dogs soon came, and then the fight commenced. Fifteen or twenty shots were fired during the encounter, and when the chase ended all the dogs were killed and the bear was two miles from where the fight began. The carcass was brought into Clarksville last Thursday. —Clarksville (Tex.)Banner.
