ragged When an Attempt Was Made

Baby From Go-cart and Tore 1t to
Pieces in Front of Child's Mother.

tragedy was enacted at Elysian grove

noon when an immense black bear es-
capped from a cage, charged upon
throng of visitors and killed an infant,
tearing it to pieces. The animal, which
had been raised in captivity from a cub,
had been in the habit of being given
soda pop at the bar, and when it
escaped it went there. 1t was driven
out by the attendants, but returned,
and when it was driven away again and
an attempt made to drive it into its
cage it became enraged and charged the
crowd.
The wife of a Southern Pacific en-
ploye named Buss Laird ran with a go
cart containing an infant. The bear
pursued and snatched the infant and
tore it to pieces before its mother 8
eyes. 1t was attacking the women when
shot from a policeman revolver
stopped it. The bystanders opened a
fusillade and filed the brute with bull
let's. The bear had been closely con-
fined since a week ago, when it attacked
small boy.
