Exciting Bear Hunt on peaks Island.

Yesterday morning Capt. Knowlton's two
bears made their escape from the cage in
which they were confined in Greenwood
Garden. and about o'clock people were
startled by the wild alarm "Git yer guns.
quick! The bears is loose an in Jane Irotts
kitchen, an got the family freed up stars.
There was an eager hunt for weapons, and
the excitement was increased by the
rapid popping of revolver. and on gaining
the street the bears were seen upon the plaz-
"a of Mrs. Adams house, rearing up and
rafting the windows and doors Learning
that the Argus correspondent was beleaguer-
ed. with others, in Mrs. Adams house, the
PRESS man shouldered his gun and started
to rescue his brother of the quill;' the bears
had by this time, however, turned their at
tention to another house and the Argus man
promenaded away from there at pace
which would have put Maud S. to the blush.
Bruin seemed to enjoy the escapade and as no
particular damage was being done it was de-
ternined not to shoot them until every means
for their recapture had been tried; ropes
were provided and the bears having separat-
ed, one was driven into corner under the
roller coaster and lassoed. He was dragged
in triumph back to his cage, choking and
snarling, and ugly enough to do any amount
of mischief if he had been loose then; driven
into his cage and the rope slackened, he put
up his paw and took off his ''hempen cravat''
with as much facility as man could have
shown, then climbed to the roof OF his cage
and was an interested observer of his COM
panion's return in the same manner few
minutes later The bears appeared about as
large as 800 pound hogs, and should they es-
cape again would doubtless remember their
former treatment and exhibit more ferocity.
