While they were sitting on a log they were somewhat startled at seeing a bear approaching. John Quigley called the dog from the house and put him on the trail, when both disappeared in a small ravine. It was a peculiarity of the dog that he never barked; but soon a noise was heard as if there was a contest for the right of way. The sound was followed until they came to Hemlock Run, where the bear was discovered making efforts to climb a tree, but the dog would pull him back, but was careful to avoid his embrace; but finally he succeeded in making his way up a large walnut. Qugley then started for William Oliver's, a distance of five miles, for a gun, whild Ellen Quigley and the dog remained to watch and keep the bear up the tree. On his return with Uncle Oliver and the trusty rifle, bruin came unceremoniously to the ground, and as a prize of value was born home on a pole suspended between them.
  NOTE: Ellen Corner Quigley married Eli C Smith in 1834, after John's death. Ellen and Eli had one son, Arthur T. Smith.
