BEAR AND CONSTABLE FIGHT
Druts's Hug Prevents Turning on

Amusement Resort.

Cleveland, GA bear with an aver
sion for constables prevented ar
amusement resort from being plunged
into darkness. Constable Hempstreet
Of Justice Browns court, tried the
temper Of the bear and was badly in
1ured. He left the park without be
ing able to serve attachment papers
on the feed wire which furnishes the
electric light Juice to the park.
The park owner II alleged to have
failed to pay some Of the claims ad
vanced by workmen employed IL
erectine some of the fixtures. AS Z
result an attachment suit was be
gun in the Justices court.
Constable Hempstreet, armed witt
the necessary papers, sailed forth. II
had been the original intention to at
tech the box office receipts. but some
one with an Ingenious turn of mind
suggested that the electric feed wire
be attached and the place thrown into
darkness so 1t could do no business
Some one tipped of the scheme te
park attaches. and Don, a big black
bear, was dragged from his steel cage
and attached to the pole which holds
the feed wire switch.
When Hempstreet tried to pull down
the switch he was embraced by the
bear. A rough-and.tumble fight fol-
lowed. The constable finally was res
cued by men armed with clubs and
ropes. The lights were not turned out
until the park closed.
