Animal With Wanderlust to Come by Way of Chicago on Journey Around World.
Salt Lake City.—The wanderlust of small ground hog, which entered Salt Lake recently on the brake beam of a Western Pacific passenger train, is to be gratified by a trip around the world. Western Pacific railroad men, who adopted the animal, have prepared a crate plastered with directions as to his care and a resume of his travels, which will carry, him east over the Rio Grande to Denver and thence to Kansas City, Chicago, New York, Washington and Boston, across the ocean and around the world as a special guest of transportation men.
