BOSS ABLACK BEAR,
DOES NIGHTLY DUTY
IN PLACE OF POLICE
Besides Having a Mighty
Punch in Each Paw, This
Watchman Does Not
Sleep Soundly.

There is a black bear doing police duty
in Eddlnston. IA.
Eddington does not know Just what to
! think Of its force but some persons. espe-
cially the children, are enthusiastic over
| it, Others regard the force with suspi
| cicn. but all treat it with the greatest re-
! spect. II weighs in the neigh borhood Of
| goo pounds and has a mighty punch in
| either paw.
The bear was sent to n. c. Hanna
manager Of the Philadelphia Pure Rye
Dstillng Company. from the Maine
woods as a Joke. But the bear was no
Joke. Mr.. Hanna decided that as a little
pet at his home. 1869 Parkside avenue. a
bear would not be a hit among the neigh
bors. He recalled that he was in need Of
n night watchman at his plant so he
named the bear "Boss' and gave him
the job
The distilerv covers nearly 90 acres Of
land. and Boss patrols all that. AT
night his headquarters are in the COM
pany's Offices.
Bos is six months old and already is
as large as a Newfoundland dog He has
an aniable disposition and plays with the
cats Of the distillery. but he has an in
herited aversion TO dogs. Rocks, the bull
dog at the plant, he chases, and Malt, the
Irish terrier he Ignores.
II was decided Yesterday that bath
would not hurt Boss. What is more. the
bath was deemed almost imperative. Cap
tain Albert Quigley and John Hart Gov
ernment officers detailed at the dstillery,
and John RiGhey. the engineer, escorted
Boss TO a pond on the COmpany's prop
erty Ross waded in one side OF the pond
and out the other and disappeared in the
underbrush.
Captain Quigley, Hart and Rigby gave
pursuit.
NEGRO IN A HURRY.
II was an hour later that they met a
Negro walking along one of the roads.
He was looking anxiously over his shoul-
der and walking as if in a hurry.
"Ah YOU lookin 70 a dog ah maghty
big deg" asked the Negro
We are looking for a bear returned
the rescue party.
"Nlah goodness me, dat was him, dat
was him" exclaimed the Negro. and he
hurried along without further explana-
ton.
Boss was found mile further on. He
had located the Delaware River and was
having a swim. Rib Righey called him
and the bear came ashore. He climbed
a tree and there he stayed until he was
dry Many a bear has had a man up
a tree. literally and iguratively. Now
! Boss was up tree.
Most OF the day the bear is chained
to shed foot from the Pennsylvania
Railroad tracks, and passengers on the
New York trains can get a glimpse Of
him. Oftentimes thoy rub their eyes and
try to take another look The trains run
too fast at this point for sightseeing
and it is probable that most passengers
think their eyes have played them a
trick.
