Snow: "...A story concerning Ichabod Grindle has somehow survived for more than a century. Ichabod--so the story goes--went after his cows one night accompanied by his faithful dog, Keeper, and when some distance from the house the old gentleman came face to face with a large bear. Mr. Grindle, dispite his advanced age, lost no time in climbing a tree, and raising his voice shouted "Lord help me". In the meantime Keeper's bark had attracted the attention of the Jones boys who were hunting nearby, and as they came nearer they could hear Mr. Grindle's call for help. They shot the bear and Ichabod descended from the tree and --so the story goes--disgustingly kicked the dead body of the bear and said, "Damn you, I guess you'll let us alone after this, won't he Keeper?" and turning away he went on after the cows, leaving the amused Jones boys to do as they would with the bear."
