Absence.

Philadelphia.-Left alone by his
mother all afternoon and evening six
nonths-old Frederick Brogden, colored
was attacked by rats as he lay in a
crib at his parents home, 229 South
Warwick street.
The puny struggle the infant was
able to make proved TO be little pro-
.ection against the vicious rodents and
when the mother, Mrs. Mary b. Brog-
den, finally did return she found her
baby with the ends OF five of his fin
gers chewed off, both ears gnawed. and
his body lacerated by the teeth Of the
rats, several Of which jumped from the
crib and scampered across the floor as
she entered the ROOM
Mrs. Brogden's cries attracted the
attention of neighbors, who. on learn
Ing what had happened, summoned an
ambulance and In 1t the infant, semi
conscious from pain and loss of blood,
and In a serious condition from shock,
was removed to the Jefferson hospital,
where it was said he would recover.

CAPTURE GIANT SEA-C0W
Monster Taken by Fishermen Weighs
5000 Pounds and lie Twelve
Feet Long.

Point Isabel, Tex.-Mexican fisher
men had an exciting encounter with
manatee, a giant sea-cow. In the shall
low water of the Laguna Madre near
here recently. II was captured only
after one of the men, Ramon Rodri-
guez, had been seriously hurt by one
of It's fiippers.
The creature was IL feet long and
weighed more than 1900 pounds. 1t Is
being kept alive and promises to sur
vtve for some time.
The sea-cow Ii supposed to have
come up from the more southern wa.
tiers Of the gulf. It entered the Lagu.
ma Madre at the pass which separates
the island from the mainland and was
seen by the fishermen struggling In
shallow part Of the strip of water.
A boat with three men went out to
capture 1t. When they got close to II
Rodriguez climbed out of the boat and
attempted to put rope around the
manatee's fms and was knocked I'm.
conscious by a blow from one of It's
f1ippers He would have drowned had
uO nv UCch OioBBCo ihNO lhO DOoA W
his companions. The rope was finally
fastened and the manatee was towed
ashore. 1t Is the second of its kind
captured In the Laguna Madre In the
last few weeks.
These animals are quite numerous
along the coast $50 to 200 miles south
of here. They are adapted to both salt
and fresh water. A strange feature OF
their appearance In the waters along
the coast is that they are usually &C
companied by a school of sea devils,
great SEQ monsters frequently weigh
Ing as much as $500 pounds each. One
of them when harpooned has been
known to drag 20 boats, hitched tan
dem. each carrying two men.
Such an experience came two or
three years ago at Arkansas Pass to a
party Of fishermen. among whom were
John w. Robbis, then state treasurer;
w. G. Sterrett, present state game,
fish and oyster commissioner, and J.
w. Maxwell of Austin, noted big
game hunter and fisherman. They
were fishing just off the little town of
Tarpon when a sea devil OF extraordi
nary size came to the surface near
one of the boats. A boatman sank a
harpoon deep into its body, the har
pooh being secured toethe boat by a
line The sea devil made off at light
ming speed. AS the boat to which it
was attached passed the boats each
threw line, and 20 other boats, carry
Ing 40 men, were towed by the giant
animal. They had stuck to 1t for six
hours, when 1t headed out toward the
ocean Then the men raised the sig
nal OF distress and a life-saving crew
on Harbor island rowed out and shot
the monster

after him, and the wheels of the
heavy vehicle passed over the body of
the faithful dog.
