Batty Horses Win Extra Wild Life at Nestleton A circus caravan ovartirned can be a fearsome thing, and so it proved, as. Provincial Police turned Frank 'Buck one night on Highway 7A three miles east of Nestleton with a ditched trailer sent -a group - of baboons, chimps and assorted monkeys scurry- ing into the road side foliage, The only animal remaining loose in the bog-downed trailer then was a huge 460 pound black bear. Said Wm. Donaghy, Montreal, owner and driver of the truck. "This bear's just like a baby. We'll let him free for a few minutes and pull the trailer out." BEAR TAKES OFF Provincial Police, much more used to human scoundrels, complied with the request gladly. All was well until the bear was freed, and then the trouble started. The beast rambled off into the bush after the free ba- boons with Donaghey in 'hot pursuit, and wielding a heavy chain. There was a sound of hunting in the wilderness, and .Donaghey finally emerged with the "baby" like beast. The bear was intact, and Donaghey sported a badly chewed right hand. Fortunately remaining in bondage was a 156 foot Anaconda snake, a fear- some highlight of the circus. SEARCH TODAY... . Slightly stunned with the turn of events, Donaghey is' uncertain as to whether all his charges have been re- covered. He suggested a daylight search of the immediate area would be the, fastest, course. ; It was reported 'later that all the animal were rounded up and are now in safe keeping. re The group was travelling from Montreal to Uxbridge when' the ac- cident occurred, : City Angler Thought Dead Harry Astridge, 84, of Rose Ave; Toronto, was feared dead today after searchers found his rowboat drifting in Lake Scugog near Washburn Is- land. - Missing . since Monday morning, Mr. Astridge-is believed to have suf- fered a heart attack and fallen from the boat. He left the cottage of Ira Aldred, on Scugog Island, to go fish- ing and said he would be back.at sup- When he did not return by dark, a search was started. During the search, Mr. Aldred, who is 72, suffered a heart attack and was rushed to Port Perry Hospital in seri- ous condition. i Lions Minstrel Show "The most successful show of the kind to_be staged in Port: Perry."
