a FRIENDLY MOOSE
The outside world generally think OF
Bingham as situated in the wild woods
of Maine and our people have beer
asked many times if bears and Other
I wild and feroeious animals roam II
the streets. We have always laughed
at the idea but il is an actual fact thai
wild animals have been about our vii
lage for the past week. For severa
days last week a COW moose stayed in
the field back of Tom Collins which
is about half a mile above the village
Sunday evening an auto whose oCcu-
pants were Miss Angie Robinson and
James Keller. was coming from Ro-
land Bakers home in Moscow when a
bull moose came into the road near
the railroad crossing two miles north
and trotted along beside the auto so
near that the occupants might easily
have reached him. He came ahead
of the machine into the village and
down one of the side streets. He was
seen several times during Monday and
Tuesday One morning he went be-
low the village to Ingram Pierce S
farm feeding in the door yards along
the way. The creature seems friendly
and it was even told for fact that
he ate an apple from a mans hand
SO however much we may ignore the
fact, ii is true that wild animals rove
through our streets. but it is great
wonder and as much of a couriousity
to most of Bingham people as to any
one who may read this item.
