Bear and Hunter Dead.
Desperate Conflict that Ended Fatally for Man and Brute.
Stroudsburg, Pa., (Special.) - Reuben Harps, a Wilkesbarre, Pa., hunter, was found
on the Pocono Mountains, near Stauffers, this county, unconscious, and horribly
lacerated. Beside him lay dead a huge black bear. Harps started on his hunting trip
on Monday. On Tuesday his dog returned to the village covered with blood, and a
searching-party of twenty men started to seek for Harps. He was finally found in a
dense thicket and in a dying condition. There is every evidence that a desperate
struggle had taken place.
