A big, wild grizzly bear and two
cubs will be added to the Grant Park
Zoo next week. They were shipped
from the Government reservation in
Yellowstone Park Friday and should
reach Atlanta not later than next
Wednesday.
Manager Dan Carey received a tel
egram Friday morning that the bear
and cubs had been shipped. He said
that their cost to the city of Atlanta,
in addition to the express, would be
just $62.
When Marager Carey visited Wash
ington in May, 191 , to attend the
playgrounds convention, he took up
with the Government the matter of
getting a grizzly bear for Grant Park,

between Manager Carey and the
Government officials, It appearing at
times that there would be no chan:*e
of getting this prize specimen, but
Manager Carey kept sieadily at it anJ
the telegram stating that they had
been shinned was the culmination.

where It Is possible to obtain a real
grizzly bear, and the expense was in
curred in the capture, no charge be
ing made by the Government.
In the open market a specimen of
this kind—the weight of the bear and
cubs being 1,400 pounds—would cost
several hundred dollars.

denied that she had anything what
ever to do with a plot to kill her
