OTTER BROWNS
DOG IN RIVER
Hunter Then Killed Animal With
a Club.

Charles Courier, a resident of Ce-
dargrove, near Caldwell, N. j., killed
an otter with a club in the Peckham
river, between Cedargrove and We
roma. Before Courier succeeded in
dispatching the animal it killed ono
of his dogs and severely wounded an.
other.
Courier saw the otter on the bank
of the stream, and with his dogs he
started in pursuit of it. There are only
few deep pools in the st, cam in
which an animal of the size of an ot-
ter could take refuge.
The dogs attacked the animal in
stantly, but the otter had the advan-
tage. 1t seized one dog by the nose
and dragged him under water, holding
him there until he drowned. 1t also
bit the other dog severely.
With broken limb which he found
on the bank of the river, Courier then
leaped into the stream. He struck the
otter several blows on the head and
finally killed it. The fur of the otter
killed by Courier is said to be worth
from $50 to 800.

ASHHURST HUNT
CONFINED TO SEA
Drag Under Big Pier For Miss.
ing Philadelphia.
CANE TELLS CT DEATH

Missing Postmaster's Staff Found on
Per-Federal Men Join Hunt For
Missing Man.
Detectives and a squad of fisher
men, working under the direction OF
Chief of Police Woodruff, of Atlantic
City, N. j., dragged the million dollar
pier without finding trace OF the
body of Richard l.. Ashhurst, the aged
Philadelphia postmaster, who has
been missing for week.
Starting close to the spot where
the missing mans cane was found,
the searchers worked around both
sides and off the end of the pier with
grapples and long poles, and the
searchers believe they have reached
every GRANNY in the sub-structure of
the pier where the body might have
been carried and lodged by the tide.
Fear that the corpse might have
been drawn into the big revolving
wheels of one of the experimental
wave motors close to the spot where
Woodruff to order a search of every
point of the ponderous machinery that
could be reached. Working from a
temporary staging hung from the pier
a detective examined the ten-ton wave
motor wheels, but could find no sign
of the body, which would probably
have been crushed had it caught IN
the big revolving cylinder.
The men engaged in the work oi
dragging are expert watermen ant
will continue to drag and search the
currents which might have carried th'
body away from the pier.
The police have gone back to thei
original theory that the missing mai
either fell or jumped from the pier.
They explain the failure of the. bod
to come ashore on the theory that
may have either been carried dow
the beach by the current or caugh
under pier fishing nets or in the mai
studded piling.
Interest in the disappearance of tn
Philadelphia federal official is intens
and hundreds of people crowded tn
pier and boardwalk to watch the wor
of the policemen and their helpers.
Up until the discovery of the can
resting against the railing of the pie
the police had begun to waver in the
j first belief that the missing postma
ter was dead.
Work attempting to trace him ava
{ from the pier had failed of all defini
