Wall Street Fever Destroys Connecticut Man’s Fortune
A Connecticut man who moved to New York and amassed about 900000 dollars in six months pursued stock speculation with rising bets and mounting losses. He and others drawn to the market by luck or clever talk caused a flood of investors in Fell Street and similar towns. He kept buying as profits grew, then collapsed after a rapid fall, ending as a cashier at a small bank and a derailed fortune.

Bear Fight in Pocono Mountains Ends With Narrow Escape
Daggers, a seasoned hunter, chased a large bear for miles near Tobyhanna Mills after a Wednesday sighting. In a brutal siege amid rocks and firs, Daggers and his dog were overwhelmed, the bear injuring him while the dog died. A final strike with a broken stick put out the bear’s eye and allowed Daggers to survive, aided by local wood-choppers who carried the carcass home. The incident marks the largest Pocono bear kill in years.
