BLOW over Head
keeps BRADLEY IN
THE Death SHADOW

The condition of Rufus Bradley, of
New Castle, who was injured about
the head during an alteration at
Ocean Beach Park, New Castle, yes
terday morning, was reported to be
serious at noon today. Patrick j.
Ahern, Of New Castle, who is alleged
to have struck Bradley with a piece
of an oar, went to the Office of Magis-
trate Nickerson in New Castle this
morning accompanied by Richard S.
Rodney, his counsel, and answered
charge of assault. He was held under
$500 bail to await the outcome of
Bradley's injuries. General Manager
William e. Myers, of the New Castle
Southern Railway Company, who en-
ployed Ahern as track foreman, fur
nished the bail.
The fight between Bradley and
Ahern caused much comment in New
Castle yesterday, where both men are
we'll known. From what could be
learned IL appears that Bradley. who
worked for the traction company, re-
ported for work TO Ahern Monday
night at Dobbinsville several minutes
late. Ahern commented on this and
Bradley became angry. Words we're
passed by the men and Ahern told
Bradley TO get his time at the COM
pany's Office. Instead of going to the
office yesterday, Bradley went to
Ocean Beach Park, where Ahern and
other men were working Words
warn ufrnftt ,,aauaH hrfrvaor fh, man
and, according TO bystanders, Bradley
kicked Ahern. The foreman at the
time was ramming earth with
, piece of oar and turning around he
struck Bradley with the club.
With blood streaming from his
head, Bradley fell TO the ground and,
after being assisted to his feet, was
! taken to his home. DR. Charles Book
er attended him. Bradley's family
later called DR.. Robert r. Roth, who,
seeing that Bradley's condition was
serious. ordered his removal to the
! Physicians and Surgeons Hospital
here Physicians there made an ex-
animation and while It has not been
positively ascertained whether the
skull is fractured, It is thought that
such Is the case. Bradley was con-
scious today, and during the morning
was visited by his wife.
Ahern and a man named George
Weibel were arrested In 1875 on a
charge of killing a man near Town
send. They were tried I'm November
of that year and showed that they
acted in self defense and we're &C
Quilted by the jury. Colonel Benjamin
Nields represented them.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT
THAT loose LION
New Castle COuntianS Will
Act if Animal Comes
Near
PENNSYLVANIANS
ARE HISTORICAL

A big South African lion is on the
rampage in Chester county. Pa, ac-
cording to advices received here yes
terday from Coatesville, Pa.
Farming is at a standstll in the
county, it is said, and young men are
afraid to go calling on their girls.
Fishing has also ceased. All lights
are put out at o'clock and doors are
tightly bolted. Stock is being closely
guarded.
The lion, which is the property of
the Keen and Shipley circus, hoped
out Of its cage when the circus train,
enroute to Elizabethtown, Pa, stop
ped at Thorndale coal switch in a
small hour of the morning. The cir
Gus people did not discover its loss
until the alarm went up from the viii
lage of Cain.
The first hint which Chester county
received that it contained a specimen
Of Africa's fauna in its boundary was
at daybreak Monday morning, when
a track walker saw the feline eyes OF
the king of the forest staring at him
from under box car on a siding near
Cain. He ran to Cain and spread the
news.
Posses were organized TO hunt the
animal down. Not only did Cain send
its delegation Of lion hunters, but
nearly every town and settlement fur
nished their quota of crack shots,
armed with rifles and shotguns, ropes
and nets. Not one of them has ever
hunted a lion before.
The woods for miles around Cain
have been secured by the parties of
lion hunters. but all in vain. The
tawny beast has not been captured or
even caught sight of. A few stray
squirrels and woodchucks, however,
seemed unduly frightened and sour
ried away in great haste.
When last seen by man the lion was
chasing a chipmunk in a stretch of
forest land about a mile north of
Coatesville. At that time it was head
ed southwest and should be by this
time somewhere to the southwest OF
the town.
The farmers in that vicinity are ter
rorized and are making every effort to
prepare for the lions attack should
it fall upon them or their stock.
In all probability the beast is head
ed fer Wilmington. But there is nc
cause for apprehension, as the New
Castle countians can be depended
upon to stop the lions career and
prevent its reaching this city.
