gard, which paper is still issued.
Mr.. Kopperdahi has been twice

steads to be had in Bottineau county.

early frosts in the fall, and a winter
of continued blizzard and the disap-

amusing to go back east and hear

similar reports are circulated, which

While he was training the cub for an
office pet, bruin tore the doctors coat
sleeve in a vicious attempt TO grab his
hand.
The doctor finally presented bruin to
Sandy Ferguson. the elevator boy,
who agreed to give him to his brother,
Lieut.. Ferguson, as a mascot for En-

went into the doctors office Tuesday
night TO feed the cub, and had a close
call from having his hand chewed of.
Ferguson decided that he did not want
bruin and left him in a cracker box in
the doctors Office to spend the night
with the parrot.
Bruin was next found front of the
arcade at 5 O'Clock yesterday morning
by Patrolman Holland. The police
man and the bear did not get on well
and the cub was taken TO the central
station after being lassoed about the
legs and neck. Bruin was placed in
a cell for investigation by the chief.
The text excitement came when
Janitor Dillingham; of the Lowry ar
cade shouted through the building.

an uproar in a minute. Everybody in
the building hunted owe and stayed
there until news was received that the
bear was under arrest.
The office of DR.. Archibald then be-
came the center of interest. Bruin
had got into a miXup with the parrot,
which was found perched near the
ceiling with its plumes missing. The

cries were torn. The window curtains
