Published in the Waukegan Daily Sun, Waukegan, Illinois on Friday, January 28, 1916

     That young cub bear, recently presented to Owner Weeghman of the Chicago Cubs by Senator Olson and Frank West of Waukegan, was killed yesterday. He escaped from his cage yesterday and invaded a tailoring factory and caused a panic among the 25 girl employes. The animal was captured in the woods of northern Wisconsin by Frank West and a hunting party of which Senator Olson was one of the members.
