Scope and content
Zoo workers prepare to open the sturdy wooden crate containing the Yellowstone Park grizzly bear. The crate has been moved as close to the cave opening as possible to allow safe release of the wild bear. The 2 year old female cub was intended to replace the bear that escaped in 1937 and was never recovered. (T. Times 6/27/1838, pg. 3)
