A PANTHER STORY.
Soon after we came to the Steele place a school was started down at the Liberty-pole corners and I and brother Windsor used to go down through the woods to school. The road was not cut out and it was woods all the way and only a path to follow. We were about seven and nine years old at the time. One morning we had got down about where Mr. Weber now lives, when a panther rushed across the path ahead of us, going from the east to the west with a young deer in its mouth and the old doe was following behind and bleating in great distress. The panthe undoubtedly had young ones down by Spring brook and Was reading the old deer to her destruction. We told our folks what we had seen when we went home and they kept us out of school for some time, but finally allowed us to go again by taking our large dog along for a protector.
BEAR PENS.
Bears were plenty and they often foraged on the pig-pens of the settlers. Various means were used to trap them, but one of the most simple ways adopted was to build a pen out of poles some four feet wide, eight feet long and high enough to allow a bear to stand. Now the bait, most generally a quarter of a deer, was affixed in one end of the pen and ingress for the game was had at the other, that was closed or shut by a falling door. The bait was fastened to a spindle that communicated with the door by means of a cord, and the moment the bear or other game touched the bait it sprung the trap or door and bruin was caged.
Father secured an old bear and her two cubs in one of these pens near East Concord. The trap had been set for several days, and it was my brother Windsor's duty to guard .it ; for a time he was very faithful to his trust, but after awhile it became an old story, and the trap was not looked to for several days. It coming to father's mind one morning, he spoke to Windsor, saying, "You are not very anxious about your trap, but I guess

you had better visit it this morning." Brother started off very reluctantly, but it was not long before he came running back, his hair all on end and so excited that he could hardly speak. Why the woods or the trap was full of bears, he did not hardly know which. Father, Windsor, myself and the old dog has- tened back and sure enough, we found an old bear and one cub in the pen, and another cub on the outside. Father soon dis- patched, by shooting, the two in the pen and the other, which proved so tractable that we concluded to spare its life, to meet in turn an ignominious end. Father took the cub down to Dave Stickney's log-tavern, where it became a great favorite. Upon a certain occasion, when a lot of boon companions were having a convivial time, the tempter's cup was placed to bruin's mouth (rum and molasses). He tasted, liked and whined for more, and it was given. The night waned and the fun grew hilarious, but alas for poor bruin. When the morning dawned he was not only dead drunk, but he was dead as a door nail. When we lived on the same place an old bear came one night and killed a hog and ate it nearly half up. The next day father built a " dead fall " and baited it with the remains of the hog, and the second night after he caught the old bear.
Father owned a large bull-dog that weighed some two hun- dred pounds. He came home one night covered with blood and terribly chewed up. We took his trail and followed him back to the carcass of a horse that lay near the run at the top of the Richmond hill. Here we found evidence of a deadly struggle for he had encountered wolves and two of these lay dead upon the field.
Windsor and I often visited the " deer licks" upon one occa- sion we started out and became separated. I heard him shoot and upon my going to him, I found he had killed a large bear.
Brother James also hunted a great deal here and in Pennsyl- vania. Upon one occasion, and while hunting in the above named State, he had the good luck to kill three elk, and this being done just as fast as he could charge his rifle. He had seated himself near a " lick " and their visiting the place sealed their doom.

with his dogs and gun and I went with him; the dogs went after the wolves, and the wolves turned upon the dogsand chased them close to Pratt, who had his gun in his hands, but was so excited that he did not attempt to shoot, but called to me to bring him the axe.
One time we built a bear pen and caught two large cubs alive ; the old bear did not go in, but she gnawed the poles partly off of which the pen was made, trying to release her cubs ; the old bear got away but the cubs were killed. One time we tracked two large bears four miles northeast, but failed to catch them.

After awhile he looked back and saw the bear coming after him ; he dropped another piece of meat and kept on. He continued to do so till he got home, when he had but one piece of meat left.

county, where he taught school. When the last war with Eng- land broke out he entered the army and participated in the battle of Lundy's Lane and was at the memorable contest at Fort Erie.
After the war he was employed several years in the County Clerk's office at Batavia, and in the office of the Holland Land company. On the 6th of January, 1821, he married Helen Phelps of Batavia, who still survives her partner of over sixty years. About that time Mr. Lake sold off his property around Batavia and moved to Springville, where nearly thirty years of his life were passed.
