MONKEY GRABBED
lii TIE B0Y S HAND.
Seven-Y ear-Old Branch Holt Had
Exciting Experience at
Bostock's.

Little Branch Holt, son of Mr.. Ed
ward N. Holt. No. 407 East Clay Street,
yesterday afternoon wandered off by
himself around the Bostock Wild AMI
NAL Arena and got in trouble with
big monkey, which recently arrived
from the Paris ,IIippodrome..
The boy is about seven or eight
years old, and. like all children, wanted
to Investigate things for himself.
Finding the side door of the arena
building open he strolled out to where
the big simian was In box.
Some say the lad caught hold of the
monkeys hand. Others declare he
stuck his hand through hole In the
wire netting. However that may be
he was instantly seized In a vlse-like
grip while the now thoroughly in
screamed, Tho boy tugged manfully
to release himself from the grasp Of
the East Indian captor, but never ut

Matt Johnson and Alec Day, two of
| TIN, Bostock attaches, inside superin-
tendent and lecturer, respectively
heard the noise and ran to the as
sistance Of young Holt. They beat
| the monkeys hands with small stick
| and soon made him losen his hold.
