HOW ISRAEL PUTNAM OUT
WITTED THE INDIAN "BEAR"
In 17dS, while General Lyman's
army was encamped near Kort Edward,
N. Y., during the French and Indian
war, sentinels at oue outpost begun
to disappear mysteriously. Night after
night a soldier was posted there and
tlie next morning could not be found.
Only the bravest men In the army
were selected for this post. General
Lyman gave orders for them to call out
"Wirt) goes there V" three times, If they
heard any noise, and then if no answer
came, to fire. But the disappearances
continued until his men were panic
stricken and refused to take such a
dangerous station.
At last Israel Putnam, a member of
Major Rogers' rangers, volunteered to
go on guard at that place and solve
the mystery. One hot summer night
he beard a rustling In the leaves
near-by. The sounds were those
of an animal scullling about on the'
ground for food and. peering through
the darkness, l'utnani saw by the faint
starlight a hne creature, which he
recognized as a beur, slowly sham
bling toward him.
Something in the bear's gait aroused
tlie scout's suspicion. Tut nam obeyed
the general's orders, lie challenged
three times and then tired. A loud
groaning and struggling noise followed
and when the trout rushed forward
he found the bear in Its death agony.
Then be turned the animal over. En
closed in tlie shaggy akin, still clutch
ing a tomanawK Dili mone iiiuu, iaj
a giant Indian.
The mystery whs solved. The tbr
sentinels had believed it was a real
bear they heard and nJlowed the dar
ing warrior to get near enough to use
his tomahawk before they learned
their mistake. No more sentinels dis
appeared. Some time after this event, Putnam
was captured by the Indians, who
started to burn bim at the stake. Just
as the flames began to scorch his buck
skin garments, a heavy rain begun
to full and put out the fire. TheTav
ages collected more dry wood and
again began the torture. But again
they were foiled.
A French officer appeared upon the
acene, dashed through the rlfig of
flame, kicked the blazing brands right
and left and released the acout, telling
tha Indiana that he roust send Putnam
to Montreal to be questioned by Gen
eral Montcalm. Putnam waa held
