BRUIN AT THE STATION
Meandering Bear Causes a Panic
Among Passengers at Union
Depot in Denver

Special to The Herald.
DENVER, Jan. 31.-A wild scramble
for the doors, in which grips and
bundles were abandoned to their fate
occurred last night in the general wait
ing room at the union depot, when a
brown. woolly animal about the size
of a Newfoundland dog, ambled in at
the end of long chain.
"A bear! q bearl" was the cry raised,
and everybody beat a hasty retreat
When the owner of the beast, who APP
peared at the other end of the chain,
stopped to unloose the tether, the re-
treat became a panic and a score or
more occupants of the room left bruln
in complete possession.
The bear was brought to Denver by
Jonathan Putney, a ranchman living
near Paonia, Colo, who, with his Ia
year-old son, lassoed 1t in the hills near
the ranch about q month ago while
searching for stray cattle. The bear is
not full grown, but is formidable
beast just the same.
Putney is on the way to Bloomington.

and is taking the animal with him as a
present to them and a curiosity to the
natives. He left on the Union Pacific
last night and while the bear was be-

to another he thought it would be no
harm to give it a little exercise. In go
| ing through the depot Putney thought
he would have little fun when he saw
the passengers hair begin to raise, and
so he turned his pet loose. He got the
fun all right and then chased the bear

Many of the waiting passengers who
