perate Struggle.
E'ittsburg, Nov. 12.-Henry E. Smith,
twenty-five years old, was shot to
death by burglar In the kitchen of
his home at Elgin avenue and North
ST. Clair street.
Smith, hearing noise, 1t is presum-
ed, in the dining room, under his bed
room, took his revolver and went
downstairs to investigate. There was
no light except from the gas turned
low in the hail. As he opened the dim

standing across the room at a buffet

fire. In the kitchen Smith caught up
with the man and they grappled. A
death struggle ensued, each man steiv-
ing to shoot the other. Finally the

KILLED 81 PET DEER.
Wealthy Man Gored and Stamped 10
Death In His Own Park.

4
Montclair, N. T., Noy. 12.-Killed by
the deer on the preserves of his beau
tifuI country estate at Eagle Rock
Way, the body of Herbert Bradley, a
wealthy flour exporter of 5S William
street, New York, was found at an
early hour of the night.
Deputy County Physician Simmons
OF Orange found that Mr.. BradIey's
death was due primarily to the deer's
ripping open an artery in his hip. The
horns of buck, the largest one be-
longing to Mr.. Bradley and his special
pride. were found to be covered with
blood. Examination of Mr.. Bradley's
body showed that the animal also at
tackled him with its hoofs.
Mr.. Bradley had just returned from
a business trip to the west when told
that great deal of shooting by hunt
ers was going on il the woods near
his estate. He started out to see if
any hunters had broken into his
grounds, and it was while investigating
that the buck killed him.
1t is believed that the deer, full of
panic and not having seen Mr.. Brad
ley for several weeks, dashed down
upon him on sight AS they had been
very tame and had always rushed to
meet him as their friend and to eat
from his hand, he misunderstood the
motive of their hasty answer to his
call and was gored and stamped to
death before he could realize his mis-
take and save himself. There are ff-
teen Of the deer, all OF the ordinary
Virginia variety. Mr.. Bradley had
been dead three hours when the body
was found. He was forty-one years
old and leaves widow and two small
children.
A large buck, leader of the herd,
paid the penalty for the murder of his
master. Guilt was proved. On the
branching antlers and forelegs, just
above the sharp hoofs of the buck,
were bloodstains which branded him
the slayer, and as soon as this evil
dence was discovered he was declared
an cdtlav and was hunted to death.
