DIDN'T LIKE BOOMERS.
Bear Drove Women Cyclists to Shin Up
the Trees.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, July 22.-Five
women bicycle riders in bloomers had
an exciting time on the old highway near
Hamburg, Duchess county on Tuesday.
3 They encountered a trained bear All
Of them were compelled to abandon their
wheels, and some of them climbed trees
in their fright to escape the red, wide
open mouth of attacking bruin. Nv. ~ II
Two Russians were leading the bear
along the road when he became frightened
at "a plunging horse and made dash
which broke his chain. He was rapidly
understanding the pursuing Russians
when he encountered a party of seven
bicycle riders, five of whom were women
wearing bloomers. Bruin opened his
mouth and rushed straight ahead.
With one accord the bicyclists left their
wheels. Whether it was the sight of the
boomers OF the screams of their wearers
is not known, but as the bicyelists aban-
doned their machines and leaped at the
stone wall at the roadside, Bruin, too, left
the highway.
He rushed for the stone wall Owners
of boomers, their escorts and Bruin all
weak by confinement, stumbled. With
terrific shrieks the bicyclists scurried
across the open on the other side of the
wall and began to climb the trees found
there
At this time the Russians overlook the
exhausted bear, and fastening his chain
securely, led him away.
+ The bicyclists Skinned" down from
the trees and rode away.
