live bear of which no one claims
ownership has taken up his home in

lie early foggy hours this morning
ie paid a visit to the residence of
’resident Roosevelt.
I he trampling of the underbrush
tear tin* edge of the cleared knoll
>n will eh tlie President's summer
tome is situated roused the secret
ervlce guard to activity. While the
• lentils went into woods llie bear
ome boldly into the clearing.
When the guard returned to his
ii»st after a vain search for the
cause of the noise he was given sin
'her star l>\ hearing scratching on
he roof of a lean-to at the rear of
the President’s house. t'pon the
oof went tin* guardsman, but what
te saw caused him to stop and pinch
aiiuself and rub his eyes.
As lie was doing this the bear
j nailc over tile oilier side, jumped to
he ground and rambled off toward
i lie woods again. The secret service
neii hastily organized the household
togs and stablemen into a hunting
: tarty, or three hours the hunt last-'
■'i front :i until t; o'clock but the
tear had gotten away. His tracks
ittve been carefully guarded and
present tlo- only real evidence to!
