“The attack of the monkey ‘Dick’ upon his keeper Elmer A. Stillwell, in the basement of McGraw Hall yesterday afternoon, proved quite as serious as told in brief in THE JOURNAL last evening….
‘Dick’ was a Macacus rhesus monkey and came to the McGraw museum from Southeastern Asia in 1898. It has always been a very tame animal up to yesterday with the exception of the time last September when it bit R. E. Sheldon. It was only a common money so its loss will not be felt financially at the museum. It is intended to dissect it and its brain will be preserved by Professor Burt G. Wilder.”
