Cat Kills a Blowing Adder

A strange battle took place yester-
day on the lawn of George H. Car
man, of Upper Mountain avenue,
Verona, N. j., between a pet NAL
tese cat and huge, blowing adder,
one of the most poisonous of snakes.
The cat killed the reptile.
The reptile apparently had decided
that kitten would make nice din
ner after it's long winters fast. When
within four or FIVE feet of its quarry
the snake stopped, raised it's head
fully a foot from the ground and
fastened it's eyes on its intended vic
tim. AS it did 80 the cat leaped
savagely forward and struck the ad-
der with her paw, stretching it on
the grass. s..
Five small holes in the adder's
head, from which the blood was ooz-
ing, showing where the cats claws
had entered.
After moment the snake raised
its head, now flattened to twice its
former width. Again the cat deliv-
cred lightning-like blow.
A third attempt was met in. the
same way. Then, its fight com.
pieteiy gone, the snake attempted to
crawl away, but the cat made ano-
ther spring, landing with all four
feet, claws outstrected, on the snakes
head, which she tore into tatters.
The adder was measured and
found to be two feet nine inches
long and thicker than mans arm.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2o.-Treasury de-

written statement, unsigned, simply stat
ing that the 81 was in payment of water

As the government neither grows nor

are at a loss to know how the government
can be concerned in the transaction. One
explanation has been advanced by one OF
the officials, who Is wise enough to be
connected with the secret service, but VINO
is not.
He says that the onscience-stricken
person is probably a negro, who has been

melons to the officials of the government,

HELENA, Mont, Sept. 20.-In an en-

cub which he had killed, DR.. Charles
B. Penrose, noted surgeon of Phila-
delphia and brother of United, States
Senator Boies Penrose, was badly hurt.
TIL edoctor, accompanied by his brother,
passed through here on a special train on
the way to Rochester, Mimi, to re-
ceive treatment.
Like the senator, DR.. Penrose is large,
powerful man, and fond of hunting Dig
game The Penrose party got Its outfit
at Belton and was having fine sport in
the Lake Mcdonald country. With the
opening of the game season on Eeptem-
ber l they stopped hunting bear and weni
out to look for deer.
Kills Cub; Attacked by Bear
While thus engaged DR.. Penrose ran
into yearling silvertip, which he Killed
with two of the three cartridges ne nau
left. He was skinning the cub, when the
mother appeared. She made straight for
the slayer of her offspring, rage cleaning
from her eyes and foam dropping from
her yawning mouth.
Realizing that he had only one shot to
fire, the doctor waited until she was with
in 200 feet of him. The bullet struck her,
but did not stop her. She roared with
anger and redoubled her speed. DR.. PEN
rose clubbed his gun and tried to defend
himself but with one blow of her paw
the mother bear struck him to the
ground crushing and splintering the
bones of his right forearm and wrist.
Bear Falls Beside Victim
The doctor was then at the mercy of
the infuriated beast, but just as she was
procceleding to dispatch him the bullet
which he had fired into her, giving her a
moral, although not instantly fatal,
wound, took effect. She paused. groaned,
hit wildly into the air with both paws
and sank down dead beside her victim
and her half fiayed cub.
DR.. Penrose crawled to the edge of
creek. where he tainted. Just before he
lost consciousness he saw another silver
tin cub coming toward him, but the cub
did not molest him. The doctor was
found an hour later by an officer of the
geological survey. The bones of his right
arm were protruding through the skin
and blood flowed copiously from deep
scratch in the neck.
Camp was broken Immediately and a
start made for Helena.
Dr Penrose is an eminent surgeon, and
Is prominently connected with the Gyne-
cean hospital, 247 North Eighteenth street,

'Fiddlesticks said Mulhall. II don't
call that much of trick for anybody
"You couldn't do It," retorted the far
rier's friend.
Couldn't -" exclaimed Mulhall.
Lend me your pony and I'll show you.'
Nothing loath to see Mulhall make
the attempt, the friend turned over the
mustang. The young athlete led 1t
down the road hundred yards or so
and then, turning, put the pony on a
dead run, running lightly beside it,
with one hand on the reins and the
other arm over the saddle. When he
got in front of the shop he gave a leap,
but his very strength and agility
proved his undoing.
Instead of lighting in the saddle, as
he had intended to do, he flew clean
over the mustangs back and struck on
his head at the side of the road. The
pony went running on and Mulhall
lay senseless. He was put into a carriage
and taken to the Bryn Mawr hospital
where he died without regaining con-
seriousness.
His death had been caused by frac-

The place was filled with clamoring,
gesticulating crowd, all flourishing ac-
count books and striving to reach the
paying tellers' windows at once.
The bank officials telephoned the Flush
ing avenue police station and reserves
were sent, but the police could make little
impression on the Italians save to clear a
passage to the bank door.
The bank honored the demands of all
who could be reached up to closing time,
but even the sight of their countrymen
emerging with greenbacks did not reas-
sure the excited Italians outside. At
o'clock the police were obliged literally to
hurl out the people inside the bank in or

The women wept and raved and the men
uttered threats. 1t was half an hour be-
fore the police, with their night-sticks,
could drive the mob from the street In
