The bear took a 50-pound trap and carried it up a beach tree 25 feet high, then swung off and hung himself. Recently, a certain patron of one of our enterprising cheese factories in town, made his usual morning trip to the factory for his milk delivery; but imagine his chagrin and utter bewilderment when he turned about and found he had nothing but an empty wagon. We understand he returned home and then sent the boy with the milk. Transcribed by Ruth Barton -- Ruth Barton mrgjb@sover.net Dummerston, VT
