odist Church at Hillsboro
Big Bear in Town
A big black bear weighing
three hundred and forty pounds
was brought to this city Monday
by Adolph Abenbroth on the
Glen wood - Forest Grove stage.
Bruin had been making raids on
the prune orchard of W. M.
Busse, of Glenwood. Mr. Busse
set a trap and his bearship
walked into it. Joe Lilly, the
Glenwood mail carier, placed a
well-directed shot into the animal
and subsequent events interested
it no more. After being weighed
and having its picture taken the
bear was shipped by express to a
Portland meat market. Bears
are said to be plentiful in the
timbered hills west of this city.
Jim Churchill of Gales Creek
shot one near his home Sunday
evening. Jim heard a conmotion
in his yard, and seizing his rifle
rushed out of the house, where
he discovered the bear looking
as large as life and twice as nat­
ural.

jured Friday at the John Fisher
sawmill in Scoggin’s Valley.
Mr. Norton was working at the
saw carriage, and in some man­
ner he allowed his left hand to
come into contact with the whirl­
ing teeth. The hand was so
badly mangled that Dr. Wendt,
who attended the injured man.
was compelled to amputate all
four fingers, two of them near
the palm. Mr. Norton is about
sixty years of age, and has a
family. He is reported to be
getting along as well as could be
expected, considering the serious­
ness of his injuries.
Rev. E. V. Stivers occupied
the Christian church pulpit at
Vancouver, Washington, Sunday,
exchanging with Rev. Jesse
Kellems. Though only eighteen
years of age, Mr. Kellems is a
forceful and eloquent preacher,
and his two sermons here re­
ceived much favorable comment
