per Tuesday to the effect that the haI

SAVES
MAN TREEO
BY BRl)|N
Mother Grizzly Succumbs to Fu-
siIIade After Chase in Grant
Park-Cubs Ca ptured.

Following a night made traditional
ly hideous by a real bear hunt, full Of
revolver shots, lfoFTid growls and
fearful shrieks by pursued negro,
Dan Carey, Manager of Parks, de-
bated what to do Tuesday with the
carcass of an entirely defunct grizzly
bear
The grizzly bear and one of her two
cubs escaped Monday night and made
no end of trouble before she finally
succumbed to successive volleys Of
revolver bullets by a. police posse.
When the mother bear got away
Russell Chapman, a negro attendant
at the zoo, set boldly out in pursuit
He fancied the bear would stand up
on her hind legs and welcome him as
a friend. the same as she was accus-
toned to do at feeding time.
Negro Climbs Tree.
When he reached the bear, how
ever. Chapman was Mortified to dis
cover in his eX-protege a hitherto
dormant affinity for dark meat AS
soon as he was apprised of this cir
cumstance, Chapman snapped places
with the supposed quarry and exc
cuted an amazingly rapid flank move
ment.
Mrs. Bruin tried to emulate the
example of her erstwhile friend and
mentor, and Chapman, lee2ing from
limb to limb with an agility that went
far to substantiate the Darwinian
theory, began to arouse the neighbor-
hood.
Police to Rescue.
He did this so successfully that by
the time the ferocious pursuer had
gathered the breast pocket of his
trousers with one paw and was reach
ing earnestly for something more suo-
stantial with the other, a squad OF
police officers and patromen, headed
by Dan Carey, were shooting flash
lights and revolvers at the bear.
This diverted the bear from the
prospects of a midnight lunch, and
she backed away from the tree and set
sail for the cops. The revolver shots
then assumed all the dignity CT a fil-
>sillade, and, fighting to the last, the
mother bear finally went down.

Upward of a hundred shots we're

Cubs Are Captured.
BY the time the old bear had been
ushered nto the Happy Huntiag
Grounds, the other cub also had fed,
and 1t was well after daylight Tues
day when the two small bears final
ly were covered and captured.
In the galaxy Of big game hunters
were Chief/Jett. Captain Mayo, Cap
tain Terry and Policemen Jones, Pal

to all of whom and to Mr.. Carey Rus
sell Chapman presents his lavish
gratitude that his loss was confined TO
a portion Of his pants and few
shades of his complexio.

Of the forest skinned and it will later
be mounted by a taxidermlst. The
bear weighed $50 pounds. II was
