SILENT is
JUNGLE AT
zoo PARK.
Sea Lions That Started NoctuT-
nal Din Are Gone and Many
Improvements Made.

New York. June 1o.-For number of
nights mysterious silence has hung over
the grea~ New York Geological park In
the Bronx. II is the more mysterious
because. in the neighborhood people have
become so used to midnight serenades
from the dens OF the wild animals that
they sleep the better for them.
Generally when the night watchman
passed the sea lions they would start the
din their shrill barking being plainly
heard two miles away. This would throw
the wolf dens into yelling pack and all
the LESSER animals would take up the
cry till IL sounded as though the jungle
had broken loose. To strangers the
noise was terrifying.
One family had hired Finnish girl
as n servant When she heard the wolves
she rushed into the room OF her mistress.
shouting:
The wolves are coming. Tie UP the
reindeerl"
But lately there has been silence.
Yesterday II was explained when the
neighbors went over TO the park with the
Sunday crowd and found that the sea
lions that always started the rumpus had
been transferred to Central Park. They
were making so much noise that 1t was
giving some OF the more delicate animals
nervous prostration.
MANY IMPROVEMENTS MADE.
The Geological Park Is undergoing a
series OF improvements. The Asiatic
building is being pushed and walks are
being made.
Several ice cream and soda booths have
been built. One, fastastic pagoda has
been put up next to the den of the Po-
lar bears. When the first can OF ice
cream was opened there yesterday and
the denizens OF the northern ice foes
smelled II. there was sensation In their
den. The booth seems to be a constant
temptation to them.
The alligator pool has been divided In
the centre by wire fence, and an i'm
mense Cuban crocodile. that lately ar
rived, has been put into half OF the pool
He was lying very still yesterday when
a fat. red-faced little man, who had been
telling the public what he knew about
animals, bent over the pool and said
Yes, as / thought, this Is a fake croco-
die. He Is stuffed. l should think they
would get a live one"
He bent a little further, and suddenly
the long jaws OF the new crocodile opened
like immense pair Of shears and
snapped together within six inches OF the
wise mans nose.
Two years ago a family OF short tailed
chipmunks were brought TO the park.
One day they disappeared from their
cage. Now the reservation Is full OF
them.

COULD NOT,
AVOID the
COLLISION
Fishing Schooner Gertie Smith
Ran Down by the Oorcas,
but the Crew Escaped

The fishing schooner. Gertie Smith. was
sunk off Brentons reef. early yesterday
afternoon.
The Smith and Dorcas, both of Glou-
cester, Mass, stored with provisions and
then put TO sea. They had hardly passed
the lightship when the Dorcas began
bearing down heavily and before the crew
OF the Smith could give way the sharp
bow of the Dorcas had cleaved her like
a knife just abaft the house.
SHOT LIKE AN ARROW.
II was at once seen that there was
no time to go below. and the men got
aboard the Dorcas as quickly as they
could. They were none too soon either,
for the Smith began 70 settle by the
stern at once. and inside a couple of
minutes her bow lifted out OF the water
and she shot like an arrow beneath the
surface.
LOSS IS TOTAL.
The Smith was owned by a man named
Smith, and her captain, John Bassett,
carried a crew OF five men. She was a
small fisherman and was about ten years
old. She had been doing we'll this sea-
from 800 TO 5000 In their clothes below.
which they did not have time 10 get. Both
boat and effects are reported as total
loss.
The cause, II Is thought, was the jam
ming OF the wheel and the collision was
inevitable.

measures against the maurauders.

about 90 picked cowboys from Texas,

The small army marched 90 miles due
north into the Powder river country in
Johnson county. The announcement had
been made that every ranchman who
did not belong to the association would
be driven out of the country or killed
for I'm this way the cattle barons intend
ed to make a clean sweep.
The cattlemen were betrayed, however
and with their Texas hirelings were

that Horn committed the murders. He

not indicted.
One of the startling incidents OF the in
Horn was brought into the court room
for the first time to testify I'm his own

old boy. was seated I'm the room. When

On July 10 last Horn left the Coble
ranch at Bosler and rode TO the ranch OF

northeast OF the ranch OF Kels +. Nickel,
father of the murdered boy. Horn re-
mained at the Miller ranch until the even
ing of July II, when he disappeared. At

engaged on the case. La Fors told Horn
he knew OF cattle outfit I'm Montana that
