Lanesboro - As train eight was passing over the bridge at Lanesboro, a monstrous ape enroute from San Francisco to New York, suddenly broke from its fastenings and with a wild yell jumped out of the door of the baggage car and off the bridge landing in the streets of Lanesboro below, a distance of some seventy feet. The horrified villagers ran to the spot, and found the stranger quite dead. Several justices of the peace ran quickly home and hunted up the statistics, but could discover no law empowering them to hold an inquest upon an ape, hence the remains were given in charge of an Erie track foreman, who interred them, sans ceremony 'neath a gooseberry tree on the hillside. He died alone, a stranger among strangers, with no kind hand to close his eyes.
