Milford Big black Bear Chase


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.
