MILFORD BIG BLACK BEAR
CHASE
One hundred and fifty
people were watching yesterday afternoon as Thaddeus Windsor,
recaptured his escaped
bear, one of two which he had captured in Canada recently, fled
his
enclosure to the surounding
woods.
Windsor and several friends
had gone to the woods searching and came upon the bear.
As they approached the bear
stood up on its hind legs and made a start toward them. The fled.
Later Windsor loosed his
dogs , and the party of hunters armed with their guns, set out
on the hunt. The bear,
running from the dogs, took to a tree, where Windson soon had ropes
around
the bears neck, cut the
tree and lowered the bear to the ground where he was held firm by the
rope
halters.
The big black bear,
doubly secured, was paraded through town, and placed again in
captivity.
