Killed by a Bear
Simon Truman, of near Elkland, is dead, at the age of 70. He was a famous bear hunter and often asserted that he has killed over two hundred bears. He was driving along a road with a companion when the horses scared at two trained bears, turned short around and threw both men out. Truman struck on a sharp knot on a log, breaking three ribs, pushing the broken pieces into his lungs. He said to the physician, "This will settle me. I don't mind dying, but it's the thought that after escaping from the wild bears for fifty years I am killed through tame bears, chained and muzzled; that worries me.

Even with his dying breath he finds humor in his situation... Awesome!!! Where'd that type of attitude go?
