LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

Too FREE WITH a MoNKEY.-Out at Eas
Park they have chained to posta very larg
monkey, or ape. Ed Murray and Gsorg
Beatty drove out to the park Wednes lay, an,
having nothing better to do, went to gaze o,
that monkey and poster the beast. TIL
spirit of mischief melted Ed. to make rougl
sport of Jocko. he went to his buggy anC
brought back his whip. with which ne begar
to tickle and whip the animals nose 1t wa
fun for Murray and Beatty, but not for the
beast. l5 grew angry, and the more i
ragged the more Murray cracked the silk
snapper over the monkeys head. at last
enraged beyond measure, the brute made
grand effort and broke its chain
The crowd which surrounded the scene
scattered like chaff before the blast.
as the iufuriated animal sprang with scream
for MurCay's throat. He saw that it would
be folly TO run. He had an iustant's time in
which to club his whip and resist the attack.
1t was a sharp fght. Murray won't deny
that he was as white as chalk, and that all the
follies OF his youth trooped through the halls
of memory with rapidity that defes COM
parison. Had the enrag beast once got
upon Murray the latter would have gone into
retiracy for gcndly time with damaged
figure-hesd and lacerated windpipe and
possibly he might have become good subject
for the undertaken. Murray dubbed the an
imal, and with vigor he didn't know he pos
sessed, resisted its desperate efforts to get at
him, and meanwhile slowly reiterated to his
buggy, into which at an opportune moment
when the animal was driven back a short dis
tance, he sprang and at once drove out of
harms way. Looking back he saw the spec
tators perched high up on balconies and in
upper windows, while Beatty had Skinned it
up a tree and was shivering amidst the
branches Murray didn't laugh at them on
the contrary, he admired their discretion
more than he did his own valor. He declares
he'll tickle no more monkeys noses 1t took
six men aud half dozen hose streams to
conquer Joeko aad tire him out sufficiently
to render it safe for man to again buckle
the belt about his body and secure it TO the
chain. Beatty didn't know before that he
could climb tree.
