/ CATSKILL MOUNTAIN MARGARETVILtiE, N, Y., FRIDAY, .IAN 15, 1915. 3 • I i WON FROM ONEONTA. George and Forrest Owens have plenty of fun in the wilds of the Beaverkill mountains. TRIED TO CATCH A BEAR IN BRAN SACK. Old bear weighed 160 pounds and the cubs about 60 pounds each. George and Douglass Owens shot four hears, a mother and her three cubs, in the mountains some miles from home nl Hardenburgh last Thurs- day. They nearly captured one cub alive but their plans were frustrated by the rreature's mate. The two Owens boys have been look- ing for bears since the automobile sea- son closed and George finished his summer's work at the local garage. Cold weather came soon after he went home and many fruitless trips into the Hardengurgh Woods convinced him .that the bears had gone into win- ter quarters. The thuw\ of last Wednesday on' couraged the hunters and the two young men again started out. Thurs- day they Jpund tracks, they knew from appearances to be an old bear and her cubs. The snow was over a foot deep in the Beaverkill woods and the walking very difficult but the tracks were followed and about 10 o'clock Thursday forenoon George Owen saw the old bear resting at, the foot of a tree. She started to run as soon as he came in sight and he began to shoot with his Winchester repeater. Forrest Owen enine up about this time and also began to Bhoot at the fleeing ani- mal. She was brought down just as she, was about to disappear over the ledge. The boys next turned their attention to the cubs as they expected that the little fellows had probably been aroused by the guns. They were none too soon for one of them had already taken the alarm and was mak- ing tracks, very rapidly in an opposite direction. A few well directed shots brought it down and the Owens-lads then grabbed a bran sack they had brought along to. catch a cub alive. They went to the tree and. another cub was preparing to make a hasty exit. George kicked the animal back with his foot and got the bag ready to catch him but a second later two cubs appeared and as it was impossible to handle them the hunters- grabbed their guns and began to shoot. Tlyjy soon brought down one of the beasts but the other got a good start and was not shot until he had nearly made his escape. The excitement, over, the hunters dragged their quaxryj together and tak- 1 ing two of the cubs put them Into their bran sacks and started home. The next day they returned and took home the other two animals. The old bear 'weighed 100 pounds and* the cubs about GO pounds each. Bears.have not been as common as usual in the Heaverklll section for tho last two years and the exploit of tho Owens boys is one that will be remem- bered for some time. Telephone Co.

It wns expected that the Oneonta High School team would play here on that date, but be cause of unforseen dillieul- tles arising they were unable to come, and substituted \Billy's\ Five. The game started off fast and for five minutes looked like a real basket ball game. Then the locals woke up and made baskets so fast It was hard to keep track of tho score. Polly's basket shooting was a feature of the first half, he making four baskets and a foul. In the second half Myers and Hussy starred, each man making six baskets. Denton scored six baskets, and kept his man from scoring. Hen- derson played one of the best games at guard he has put up this season. For the visitors Brosmer and Peck did the best work.

Roscoe Man Said To Have Invented Puncture Proof Auto Tire. Albert llallenbeck of Hoscoe, has invented a new puncture proof auto- mobile tire for which it is said he has recently refused an offer of $11,- 000 for the patent, submitted to him by the Goodrich Rubbor Company. Mr. Hallenbeck /is firm in the re- lief that his latest patent has solved the punctured tire problem and con- siders his discovery to be one of great value and likely to eventually make him a millionaire, hence his reason for refusing the large offer for his patent. The inventor of the tire lias always been considered a rare genius around Koscoe and his friends are highly de- lighted. The public await the out- come of Mr. Hallenbeck's new tire device with a great deal of interest.

Mrs. Rickard, ufte'r building the lire in the kitchen stove , returned to her room up stars and It is supposed that sparks from the stovo »must have ignited some clothing hanging on clothe bars near the stovo. After a short Urn* she detected the odor of something burning and rushing down stairs found the clothing in flame. The woodwork around the stove and the contents of a small closet back of the stove were all burned. The prompt action of Seymour Tompkins and George Clum, who came to her assistance on hearing her call, no doubt saved the house.

I'epacton was twice shaken late Wednesday night by what some of the inhabitants thought was a baby earthquake. Upon investigation it wns found that both shocks came from different parts of the anatomy of one Bart Paul coming violently In to collision with the earth, spraining one leg and smashing his only nose. Then things cleared up and everyone went home to bed, contented that the tremors were at an end. Hart had attended an \oyster sup- per and he was pretty well loaded with them when he struck out for home late at night. The Ice along the roadways was such thai he skat- ed most of the way.Most of the way, mind you, not all, for before he could finish his journey Mother Earth had altered his map to such an extent that his own mother wouldn't havo recognized him without a second look. Hart was dumped first when his feet slipped from under him and sent him sprawling to the ground, with one- leg twisted under him. He tried to get up, did succeed in getting to his knees, but when he tried to get to his feet one of them slipped again and this time Bart landed on his nose and the rest of his lace all around it. At his second fall Hart let out a yell that brought most of the nearby popu- lace to his aid. He was assisted tho rest of the way home and a Downs- ville doctor called, The physician patched him up in such shape that Bart Is now as whole as ever and willing to take anotheer chance with the oysters.
