The neighbors came out with their guns and shot and killed it. It was loaded on an ox-sled and taken to the school-house that the children might all see it. At another time, while our family were taking breakfast, we heard an uproar among the cows and oxen yarded near the house. A huge bear had chased a fawn into the yard and caught it, but the cattle drove him off, so he had not hurt it much. The bear made off for the woods, and the little deer was allowed to go where he pleased when he got over his fright. We were often visited by Indians. Sometimes we let them sleep by our fire over night without fear.
