A REVERSAL OF IT
A Case Where the Bear Was Not Seriously Whipped,
And Where the Keeper Almost Lost His Mane of Golden Hair.
MAIN STREET
A
SCENE OF FUN.
People Who Come and Go-Brief Brevities of Interest to All Readers of The Globe.
Two Italians traveling with a bear that was trained-a bear weighing as much as Colonel Albright and Capt. J. Y. Whitted, both together, got it this morning. That is, one of them did.
The bear tore the scalp off of one of the fellows-and Colonel Albright who threw a cancelling stamp at them is the hero of the hour.
The bear was finally subdued and the cub regained.
However, a traveling bear is not a luxury, as a mule was enticed to run away and much other damage was done.
We call upon the esteemed chief of police to see that the ordinance which requires people to keep a ladder on the premises is scientifically and fully enforced. It is an imperative necessity.
