IMPRISONED BY DEAD BEAR
Carcass of Bruin Prevents the Exit
of His Slayer From the
Special to The Herald.


2 SNOWSHOE, Pa, Dec. 2.-Penned
i'm a cave for two days by big bear
which he had shot and could not move,
Dr. Walter Kurtz of Howard was a
prisoner who gladly welcomed a
searching party which today came
within sound of his voice. While i'm
prisoned he killed two more bears
cubs which had attacked him after
their mother had been shot.
DIR. Kurtz was hunting when he
found bear tracks leading into a cave.
He crawled into the hole on his hands
and knees. His eyes had not become
accustomed to the darkness before he
heard the grunt of bear. AS Bruin
ran past him toward the mouth of the
cave he fired, and the bear fell, block
ing the passage. The carcass was so
heavy that the physician could not
move it. Suddenly two cubs appeared,
and they, too. were killed

Special to The Herald.

NEW CASTLE. Del, Dec. 2.-This
city is enjoying the unique distinctio
of having the services of a constable
but one day week. Since the Demo-
Gratis went out of power, several years
ago, the Republicans have been unable
to fill the office. Consequently Thomas
Buckley, who is legally constable for
New Castle county, but was appointed
for Wilmington, has agreed to do duty
here on Saturdays at the office of Mag
istrate William T. Terry.
With all this disputing over its band
how can Long Beach expect much "har-
mony" from the Donatelli organization?

STORY TOLD AT INQUEST.
Three-Year-Old Child's Neck Broken
by Fall CO Three Feet.

The testimony given at the inquest held
yesterday afternoon before Coroner J. Ram
sey hewitt at the morgue in the case OF
Lawrence Redd a colored child nearly three
years of age, showed that the bahy's neck
was broken by a fall of less than three feet.
Such fatality" the coroner commented,
might not occur one time out of one thou
sand" He regarded the case as a rather
remarkable one.
The principal witness at the inquest was
William H. Redd, father of the child. He
said he was the janitor of the Luzon apart
ment house at 25th street and Pennsylvania
avenue where the fatal accident occurred
the baby being found in a dying condition
at the bottom of the elevator shaft.
Last night he said, I'VE missed Boots.
That is my child's pet name. I searched
high and low for him. but nowhere could
he be found. l was alarmed at the absence
of my baby and notified the police that he
was missing. l went all over the neighbor-
hood and even to Georgetown, but could not
find him. There is a small space beneath
the elevator in the basement where our liv-
1 thought was a parcel of rags or paper in
that space. / poked my hand in and found
1t was Boots He was taken to the hos
pital, as there was still some signs of life.
but his death soon occurred"
1t was the fathers opinion that the child
crawled through small aperture between
the wall and the elevator and fell to the
bottom of the shaft, a distance Of only
about three feet. This short fall 1t was
shown, resulted in breaking the baby S
neck. DIR. hewitt, the coroner said the
child lived several hours after its neck had
been dislocated.
The jury rendered a verdict of accidental
death.

BODY OF A MAN
Found on Tracks of Street Railway
COMPANY This Morning.

A dark object lying on the track of the
just beyond the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road tracks, about 12.45 o'clock this morn
ing, and which was struck by eastbound
electric car 337, proved to be the body Of an
unidentified colored man. The man was
struck with great force by the car and
dragged some distance before the motor
man could bring the car to a stop. Ex-
animation of the body showed that life was
extinct, and the remains were sent to the
morgue.
The place where the fatality occurred is
rather dark and Motorman Benjamin Gid
dings of car 337 says he did not see the OBJ
ject on the track until he was within about
forty feet of 1t. He then applied the brake
after turning off the electric current, but
the front of the car struck the PROSTATE
man and carried him several yards ahead.
After the body had reached the morgue
1t was examined by Morguemaster William
Schoneberger, who found that the man 6
breast had been badly crushed, and he had
received several cuts about the face The
crushing of his breast no doubt caused
death
Mr.. William B. Garner, who was on the
front platform with Motorman Giddings,
says the accident was unavoidable, and that
Giddings did all he could to prevent the car
directly between the rails on the eastbound
track.
The dead man was evidently a laborer.
He was attired in overalls and was about
twenty-five years of age. The remains are
held at the morgue for Identification.

Endemic of Assaults.

The police records show that during the
past ten days there has been an epidemic
of assaults with knives. razors. bricks and
stones in this city. Almost every day one
or more of such cases have required police
treatment. The necessity for the adoption
of severe measures against these attempted
homicides. the police say. has become nee
essary to prevent the lengthening Of the
list of murders in the District.
Two colored women, Susie West and Jen-
ME Newton, became involved in q muir
derous ARRAY last night in Freeman alley
The Newman woman welded a knife OF
razor and Susie West was slashed across
the arm. Bystanders interferred and pre-.
vented more serious consequences. The
wounded woman was sent to the Homeo-
pathic Hospital by the second precinct po-
lice. The assailant was arrested.

HOUSING IMPROVEMENT.
Prominent Citizens Working for Aid
Of Congress.

An active and far-reaching campaign
on housing improvement is about to be
undertaken by the Associated Charities
committee on the Improvement of hous-
ing conditions"
For four or five years a number of
prominent citizens have been laboring for
the passage of a bill for the condemna-
ton of insanitary dwellings. Occasionally
1T has seemed as if their efforts must be
successful. Especially was this SO during
the past Congress, when bill which had
been most carefully drawn up passed the
House and moved through number of
stages In the Senate, only to be blocked at
the last moment by opposition to minor
detail.
During the past summer an extensive
investigation of actual conditions under
which the poorer people of the city live
has been going on. Some revelations
soon be made, and when Congress con-
venes again facts which may be verified
by any one sufficiently interested will be
presented and used as a basis for the
Legislation which is to be urged.
Investigation, after dealing with exist
Ing conditions, will branch out to dis
cover the best cooperation possible be-
