BEAR HUNT HELD.
RIGHT IN GARDEN
Of LOCAL HOME
Bruin, Brought Here From
Michigan, Breaks Lose
And Is Shot
CHILDREN SCATTER
AS BEAST ESCAPES
Incident Probably Did Not
Resemble Sport OF
Ancients

Had some of the more ancient pco.
pc. who years ago roameG this old
continent in their red skins and
breechcloths. with q feather or two in
their hair for decorations, been at the
home of r. NJ. Greer late Wednesday
afternoon faint recollections would
have haunted their minds of the good
ola days when Mt Vernon was prob
ably no more than q forest with a
block.hOuse in the center of it.
No, there was no Dead-Eye Dick
stun got Oft there, nor was there the
inevitable robbery and subsequent
burning of a prairie schooner along
with the scalping of its occupants as
in the grand finale of circus per-
formance. But there was bear hunt.
However, those aforesaid ancients
would not have recalled the time
when they used a modern shotgun or
had their game imported from Michi-
gan to Ohio by the hand of men.
The scene was not that of the for
est wilds, usually haunted by the griz-
zly old fellows. but large symmetri.
cal flower garden on which the bear
went to his happy hunting grounds.
In brief, it may be said that the beai
did not even have TO be hunted for he
was. until the time he got loose, tied
toa slim young tree. which formed a
part Of the decorations of the garden
through which he had roamed for sew
eral days.
The bear had been hunted once and
had gone down to defeat by the hand
OF a white man, in fact by the hands
of u party of Mt. Vernon white men,
who just returned from hunting trip
to Michigan, where the beast was cap
tured alive and unhurt in his native
haunts.
Bruin had been brought to Mt. Yer.
non in huge box. only to be fattened
more. when, upon having acquired the
right weight to make a bear palatable,
he would have been executed that he
might tickle the palates of those who
caught him as they gathered around
the festive board (and it could be
such, now that Hoover has no claim
to our very bread).
The little white papooses, who were
playing with Mr.. Bruin when he broke
his leash. scurried away when the ac-
cident happened which at the same
time may have been considered a
blessing by the old boy as he roamed
more freely over the garden, plowine
the withered plants deeply into the
ground
The alarm was sounded and men
came running. They were not in
feathers and breechcloths as were the
ancients who instituted the bear hunt
as u manner of sport and a means of
livelihood, but wore perfectly fitting
modern suits of clothes. After view
of the situation, they decided that
there was no outlet to the street by
which Bruin might escape from his
big pen. and shotgun was obtained.
Harry w. Rooms, who was on the
scene, shot Bruin, although it was
probably without the sensation which
must have accompanied the Staying
of one of the beasts by one of our an
cient ancestors, who could not be re-
assured by the fact that il he missed
the first time, he had another shell in
the other barrel of his weapon
