Hunter.

     Silas Reeves was killed in Pennsylvania recently by a falling tree. Silas Reeves, or “Uncle Sile.” as he was known throughout Northern Pennsylvania, was one of the most remarkkable characters in the State. He was seventy years of age, and for nearly sixty years he had been a hunter, trapper and fisherman, and claimed to have killed thousands of bears, panthers, and an unknown number of deer and small game.
