very many years ago, wild beasts in
variety reamed at will on the grounds where
Bancroft now stands. But of late this has
been universal exception, until last week,
on one of those beautiful afternoons, real,
genuine moose deliberately put in an ap-
pearance on Warren street. Those better
posted i'm natural history have decided that
this animal was less than one year old and
had lately come from Minnesota by the way
of wonderland" i'm Detroit, and is now on
exhibition in the hardware store of Shelly
Brothers. Upon inquiry it has been ascer-
tained that this fellow was shot near Itasca
Lake by nephew of l.. G. Shelly, who
was at that time only about fourteen or
fifteen years old. Mr.. Shelly, brother of
L.. Z. Shelly, who Is now a member of the
firm of Shelly Bros, having bought out
John Martin quite recently, has with his
family been located in Minnesota more or
less for several years past, have shot and
had put up several animal of different
varieties, which to view and have Mr.. Shell
ly explain their different customs and habits
is quite interesting indeed.
