Close Call for Aged Woman.
When Mrs. Marcus W. Church, seventy-one years old, of Wheeling, W. Va., was overcome by a paralytic stroke, a maid sent at once for Mrs. Church’s son, Frank Church, who, on reaching home, thought his mother was dead. He called an undertaker, who arrived two hours later.

“Ferocious” Bear is Captured.
The bear that has been bothering people around Poland, Ohio, has been caught. Like an ordinary criminal, the animal was run down by a posse.
A crowd of men and boys tracked the animal to a hiding place in a thicket, and then “rushed” the place in a body. They found bruin in the spot, but he didn’t want to fight. On the contrary, he seemed glad to see the crowd, and wanted to play. It was then found that he wore a muzzle, and was hungry.
The bear hunters were at a loss to know what to do with their catch until a gypsy appeared and claimed bruin as his own property.
