ftFree Monkey Amuses 3000.A free circus that ended in a bid-napping entertained 3000 persons near the Auditorium in Chicago, when “Mike,” a large Brazilian monkey, escaped from a dealer’s store in Wabash avenue and shinned up the elevated railroad structure. He walked the third rail without exploding, and when trains threatened to mangle him he bung down from the structure by his tail, did a giant swing to a post and soon reached a station, where he frightened a girl ticket seller so that she turned in a police alarm.The streets were packed with a bL throng following the antics ®f the monkey. The police could not capture him. In flying leaps, under over the structure, he set a hot pace until he re^hed Van Buren street. There he a leap to a trolley pole, landed in the street and was captured by two newsboys, who made off with him. His owner had offered a reward and the police have put out a monkey dragnet.
