People's Pilot, Volume 6, Number 45, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 April 1897 — Bear Trapped Himself. [ARTICLE]

Bear Trapped Himself.

While William Delong of Cammal, Pa., was driving along the road with his butcher wagon, a bear smelt him and began to follow him. The rear doot was open and coming up behind, Bruin calmly climbed in and commenced chewing on a leg of mutton. His paw struck the lever which closes the door. It shut with a bang, and Delong, to his intense surprise, found that ho had live as well as dead meat aboard. The bear tried his best to escape, but couldn’t, and Delong drove four miles to Cammal, where the animal was shot and converted into steaks.
