WHAT Artemus Ward used to call "an
amoosin' little cuss," the kangaroo, escaped
from Hagenback's animal show on Midway
Plaisance yesterday, and, after nimbly
leaping the eight-foot fence, was lassoed by
Buck Taylor, one of Buffalo Bill's cowpunchers.
John Marshall, one of Hagenback's
keepers, was so knocked out by the
escape of the Australian biped that he left
a bird cage open, and twenty-five rare birds
fluttered out and away.
