Show APE JOINED THE XMASJHOPPERS LOS ANGELES. Dec. 23. "Biz Ben" a huge long tailed Sumatra ape, had a very human experience today, when he got away from a ' jungle show," on South Main street. Joined the Christmas Christ-mas shoppers on a street for a brief period of hilarity, finally collided with a street car and wound up at a hospital hos-pital with a fracture of the skull. Ben created quite a commotion when he first joined the throng on the street and in the midst of the excitement started to run across the thoroughfare. An on-coming car hit him, knocking him senseless. The apo was picked up and carried to a nearby hospital where his hurts were bandaged. It Is believed Ben will die. |
