Baby Carried Off by Bear
Found Unharmed in Ditch
Whitevilie, N. C, Aug. 6. Reports
from Clarendon, 12. miles southeast
of here, tell the following story: Mrs.
Shepherd Strickland was greatly
shocked yesterday morning when she
returned from a short visit to a
neighbor's house to find that her litr
tie one-year-(ld daughter was miss
ing, she had lett her only a short
time before with her four-year-old
, brother on her porch and when she
returned the little boy aroused from
a pap and lold his mother that a bear
had come since she left and came
pretty near catching him. When
asked about the whereabouts of his
little sister he could give no infor
mation. The Stncklands live about a mile
from Clarendon and soon the news
of the missing child was circulated
and in a very short time the whole
community joined in the search for
the missing baby, which presumably
had bei-n carried off, by a bear.
Tracks of some animal and said by
members of the searching party to be
made by a bear were discovered ap
Droachinc thp house, and with this
evidence it was the' onininn nf ail
that the child was destroyed. The
whole community was diligently
marched for the baby in a hunt last
ine four hours when metnhcr r( thp
party found the baby about three
mu ftrs oi a mije irom its nomc in
- . t . -i. f. . ... i
a ditch unharmed.
It would have been physically im
possible for the baby to have mad
this trip unaided as she is just lcarn-
if.g to walk and is rather trail, be
sides, there was a canal and several
ditches between the house and where
she was found. Greensboro News
