LOST LIFE IN STRUGGLE
WITH A MAMMOTH SHARK

Philadelphia, Penn, July THAT
Charles Epling Vansant, 23 years
old. son of DR.. f. l.. Vansant, of this
city, was killed by shark at Beech
Haven, N. j., late Saturday after
noon was the assertion made here
by the young mans father.
"My son met his deatn." said Dr.
Vansant, while battling with a
huge shark in the breakers at Beach
Haven. A score of persons who wit
messed the death struggle of my son
assert that the shark was nine feet
long and probably weighed 500
pounds.
"When Charles was taken from
the water the terrible story was re-
vealed, for his left leg had been vir-
tually torn off. The shark had fas-
tened it's teeth into the boys thigh
and had literally torn off the leg.
Charles was unable to tell about his
struggle and died two hours later.
Several bathers saw the dorsal fin of
the shark as it made its way into
deep water"

received a charge of shot in the left
arm this morning when Gordon Hol-
craft. fifteen. a neighbor boy, mis-
took young Roberts movements for
those of a squirrel. Holcraft heard
his dog barking in the woods near
his home and took his shotgun to
the scene. In the meantime the
Roberts boy had reached the tree
and climbed into the branches to try
to capture the squirrel alive from its
hole. Neither boy knew the other
was there. When Holcreft saw a
movement high up on the tree trunk
he took quick aim and fired.

been the habitat of Sunday excur-
sionists. The first bridge construct
ed at this point was completed near
ly forty years ago. The present
bridge was completed in 1911 and is
the highest bridge over navigable
river in the United States.
Some idea of its height may be
imagined when it is considered that
the present structure is thirty-one
feet higher than the old bridge
which only few years ago was
thought to be an engineering feat.
The height of the rail on the Queen
and Crescent road which crosses the
bridge is S17 feet above the pier
foundation-more than three times
as high as the United American
in Frankfort. The total
length of the bridge is 1890 feet.
The weight of the steel contained
in 1t is something like 100000
pounds and about 100000 rivets
were used in its construction.
