There was bear, two Italians and a
hand organ in the North End YESTERDAY
AFTERNOON. One OF the Italians turned the
crank OF the organ and ground out " Two
ing" and other popniar airs. The other
Italian passed around the hat and col
lected considerable pennies and nickels
from the bystanders who loved music
while the bear climbed telephone poles,
water spouts and clothes posts, much to
the amusement of the children. The trio
ana the hand organ reached the corner OF
Cbaikstone and Franklin avenues about
o;so last evening. On the corner stood a
Wanskuck and Geneva bus. Attached to
the Dus were two fine gray horses
waiting Tor passengers bound for Douglas
avenue or Woodville. The bear seemed to
dld not, TO say the truth, like the close
proximity OF the bear, for they
dashed down Franklin avenue to
Dongas avenue at breakneck speed.
The driver, Mr.. Hatllaway, tried to catch
up with them, but theyswere too fast for
lm' nlm' ihe bear gazed wistfully after the
iast disappearing horses and as they
vanished from view he consoled himself
by climbing the nearest telephone pole,
much TO the delight OF Che children who
soon forgot all about the runaway horses
whiie watching the antics OF the bear. A
iew OF the older children, however, fol-
lowed the animals to see what would
become OF them. The horses continued
tneir mad flight until they reached the
Geneva barn, where they were brought to
a sudden stop by running up against the
door of the building, one OF the
horses pushing his head through
two panes of glass in the door, receiving
several, though not serious gashes about
The head and neck. The recoil sent the
other horse to the ground, but he was not
hurt In the fall. IL was very fortunate
that the barn door was not opened or
the horses would probably have been
killed and the bus wrecked The run
away attracted large number OF people,
who rushed from their homes to see the
frightened animals. The citizens can con-
sole themselves with the fact that in a
short time that ancient vehicle will be
sent 10 some museum and exhibited the
same as instruments of torture are now.
