DYNAMITERS' WORK.
AKRON POLICE SEARCH FOR
PERPETRATORS.
Onicer's House Blown To- Bit,-Fstber.
Mother. Son aud Bsby. hurled Under
the Debris, and Had u Marvellous Es-
cape.

The entire police department. at Ak
| and investigating every club which
may lead to the unearthing OF the das-
tardly scheme to kill Policeman w. j.
Bruner and his family of that place,
whose home was blown to splinters a
few days ago by dynamiters. Mr.. Bru-
ner. his wife. Elizabeth, his s on
George, nine years old. and Harold, a
baby eighteen months old were in the
house at the time. They were blown
out OF bed and buried under the debris,
but none was seriously injured.
The house was two-story frame
structure, with a wing. Mr.. Bruner,
his wife and baby slept on the first
floor OF the wing. The other son oc-
cupied a room on the second floor. The
wing Of the house was reduced to
kindling wood, and the occupants were
dug out OF big pile Of plaster and
broken timber. No trace OF the bed
was found larger than a splinter. The
baby was at first missing. The little
cradle in which II slept was complete
ly destroyed. A faint cry presently at
tracted Burners attention and the
baby was found bruised under mass
OF plaster and broken furniture, three
feet deep. 1t was only slightly bruis-
ed. The force OF the explosion damag-
ed houses for block around. and there
was not a window left unbroken for
more than 100 yards. The report could
be heard two miles away. The police
believe that the dynamiting was an at
tempt at revenge upon Mr.. Bruner.
South Akron has recently been infest-
ed by gang OF firebugs and Police
man Bruner has been very ambitious
in his efforts to break up the gang.
Several residents OF that portion of
the city have fallen under suspicion.
and they have been closely watched.
Knowing this. il is believed they
sought to get rid Of the officer. Eight
men are now under arrest on suspicion
Of having been connected with the
work. The men under arrest are:
Frank Klein, Ed Apletzel, Charles
Hall. Clarke Boone, Lee Myers. Milton
Brecenridge and Arthur Craig Soon
after the explosion the officers picked
these men up at their homes.
All were in their houses and appar-
emily unconcerned. although they lived
in the neighborhood OF the scene. while
every one else for blocks around was
out on the street and highly excited.
1t is believed that many pounds of the
explosive were used, as the explosion
was tremendous and an enormous hole
was dug in the ground under the house.
The heavy foundation timbers were
reduced to toothpicks and hurled for
blocks away. A few scratches total up
the injuries sustained by the family,
and their escape from being blown to
atoms seems marvellous. Mr.. Bruner
has been member of the Akron po-
lice department for more than fourteen
years. His superiors esteem him as a
faithful officer and his record is with
out flaw. He has been doing patrol
duty on the east side for several
months.

Destruction OF soa Birds Mt Gulf.

Professor Boyer. of the American Or
astrological Association, who has been
operating along the Gulf coast with
the object Of appointing bird wardens,
reports that during his observations
he found that the breeding places OF
nearly all the sea birds had been de-
stroyed, both by killing the birds and
taking their eggs On Brush Call

which were not long since the abodes
OF millions OF sea fowl. he found no
birds at all. On Timballer Island a
few gulls and hens still remained
which was also the case on Lost Is
land. He appointed wardens wherever
birds were found and succeeded in get
ting the fishermen to promise to aid
the wardens in preventing the killing
of birds during the breeding season
and the stealing of eggs,-Philadelph

Cow Blackbirds. that later. Let us
nrst get acquainted with this bird. and
then we shall know him the next time
we see him. The cowbird Is a first
cousin OF the common blackbird that
makes so much noise In our dooryards
For all his close kinship he has not
Inherited any OF the common black
birds better qualities. He has lost all
the gloss Of his plumage and now
wears a coat as dusty and brown as
amy human wanderer you ever saw
He has lost the common blackbird's =
neighborly habits. and usually focks
all by himself out In the pastures
The only creatures that stir any in
forest In his being are cattle, and
wherever you see herd of those ami
mails grazing over the pasture you are
pretty likely to see cowbird flying
over their backs, lodging about their
feet or even resting upon their backs.
That Ii why he is called "cowbird, :"
because cattle seem to be the only an
imals he cares anything about
But I have not yet told you OF the
most unbirdlike trait OF this relative
OF the blackbird, and | am sure you
will say he does not deserve our re
spect when you hear all about him.
His poor orphaned baby might call
forth our pity II we were not positively
certain that when It grows up 1t Will
do the same thing. The cowbird never
builds nest OF its own. but the female
lays her eggs In other birds nests and
leaves the other birds to care for her
child. Worse than that, she selects
some tiny little pair that build dainty
house, like the little yellow birds-and
lays her egg In their nest-only one In
nest. You can imagine the dismay
of the yellow birds when they come
home to find a great egg OF the COW
bird there. They cannot roll the in
truder out. the nest walls are too high,
and they themselves are too small. so
they lay their eggs and hatch them
together with the cowbird's egg. Then
"a sad thing happens, for the little COW
bird is 30 much bigger and stronger

While the official temperature
up in the lofty tower of the

the thermometers on the street
level ranged all the way from 100
to 1O6.
The terrible fatality of the heat
was shown in the large percentage
of deaths among those Frustrated.
Out of 32s cases of prostration
reported up to 1880 tonight, 14s
resulted fatally.
Between the hours Of Q yester-
day and ID tonight, there we're in
