The town authorities would not let
the gang OF Gypsies encamp in the city
limits. Last night they drove to Mechen,
where they stayed till yesterday, when
they returned and gave public exhibit
ton on the streets here. Citizens,
young and old. gathered around
them to see the bears dance, etc. A
citizen got too near one OF the large
bears, and the beast grabbed him
around one Of his legs and hung on.
The man pulled forth his pocket-knife,
and was about to stab the muzzled deni-
zen OF the forest, when two men
dragged him from his imprisonment.
The man was slightly scratched by the
animals paws, but frightened was no
name for his scare.

now, one for each arm.
