W h o m He Quarreled

Daniel Demanna, of 1899 Ninety-sec.
ond Street, Woodhaven, Queens, was
shot just below the heart last night
IN fight with two other men on 1885
Street, near Hughes Avenue, the Bronx
He is in Fordham Hospital and is said
to be dying.
The police believe the encounter to
be one Of the bootleggers' ARRAYS
which have been breaking out recently
In various parts Of the city, most OF
them on the lower East Side. Demanna
refused to give any information to the
pclice. He was placed under arrest
charged with violation of the Sullivan
law.
Mrs. Mary Sealice tainted just ir
time to save her life when the firing
started. The door of her home, 64f
East 1880 Street, in front of which
she was standing when the first shot
was fred, was splintered by bullets
which flew above her PROSTATE body
According to Frank Pennetto, g
lawyer, who saw the whole affair from
his Office at 1922 East 1880 Street, the
three men talked for some time al
ieSd Street and Arthur Avenue. Their
they separated, two walking toward
Hughes Avenue, on the south side OF
1S3d Street, and Demanna taking g
parallel course on the north side OF
the street.
Opposite Mrs. Sealice's home the
three began shooting at each other
across 1s3d Street. Demanna fell, but
managed to drag himself across the
body of the unconscious Mrs. Sealice
and took shelter in the vestibule OF
her home, from which he continued te
fire at his assailants until they dis.
appeared.
1t is thought by the police that the
pistol fight has some connection with
that which took place Friday at Sec.
ond Avenue and Twelfth Street, ir
which Umberto Valenti was killed, ano
as result of which man and little
girl are near death from bullet
wounds.
Joseph Masseria, of 80 Second Ave
nue., arrested in connection with thai
shooting, was held without bail yes
terday for examination in Essex Mar
ket Police Court at the request Of
Ralph Gutchen, Assistant District At

OF Snake Bite
Discovery of Brazilian,

Hats Copperhead Poison
Obtained From a Horse
Doctors Pronounce Jersey
Carpenter Out of Danger
and Ready to Go Home

william McLennan, carpenter of
plsinHeld, N. j., whose life hung in
a. balance for two days at Bellevue
Hosnital as the result Of the bite Of
8. eonperhead snake, is we'll on the
.road 10 recovery. McLennan and his
wife who was lowering about him hap
n,;v when they were seen yesterday at
The hospital, declared that only the
cu;ek action of the serum, which was
,raeured from Raymond l.. Ditmars,
enrator Of the Bronx Zoo, had saved
his life. He was in excellent spirits
sud said that the doctors had cold him
h might return to his home to-day.
Mcfennan was bitten late Wednes-
d.v evening, and after receiving first
aid treatment in Plainfeld hurried to
N.r York the following morning, but
feund that none of the hospitals had
any serum to help him. 1t was only
when officials of Bellevue got in touch
with Mr.. Ditmars that it was discov-
cred that the latter had what probably
was the only serum for snake bites in
the country. Some of this was imme-
distely sent TO the hospital and in
iected, with the result that within
shirty.six hours the man was entirely
out Of danger.
Snake Tangled in Wheel
Mr.. McLennan declared that another
carpenter who had been working in
the same neighborhood on Wednes day
evening had started home on his BIZ
cyck when he discovered that the
wheel would not move. Upon investi-
Cation ne found to his horror that a
eepperhead was coiled in the spokes of
the wheel. Fortunately it had been
unable TO bite him and was soon killed.
John j. Toomey, assistant to Mr.. Dit
mars and head keeper at the Bronx
Zoo, declared yesterday that ne was
indirectly responsible for the discov-
cry in this country of the serum which
saved McLennan's life. In 1916 Mr..
Toomey was bitten by rattlesnake
at the zoo and it was through the use
Of this serum, which had been unknown
before that time, that he was saved.
Eat the time that was bitten" said
Mr.. Toomey, "Dr. Virtual Brazil, of
Brazil, South America, was making a
visit to the United States and hap
pened to be in New York. He had
some of the serum which he makes in
his own laboratory in Brazil with him
and Immediately turned some of it
over to the doctors who were handling
my case. 1t pulled me through. and
ss mine was the first case known to the
local physicians which received the
proper medical attention at ,he outset
It attracted considerable notice.
Obtained From Horse
"since that time we have kept a
supply OF the serum at the zoo, but at
present we have only a small amount.
1t is made only by Dr. Brazil and is
very hard to obtain, as it is not inside
in large quantities"
Mr.. Toomey said that the serum was
made by subjecting a horse to the bite
Of snake and then drawing off the
blood of the animal. He asserted that
the serum used in the case OF Mr.. Nc
Lehman was good for the bites of the
eopperhead, rattlesnake and one or
two others, while there was another
serum for bite of the cobra.

LARGE BUCK DEER ENTRAPPED IN BARN Eats Load of Green Oats, Develops
 Collie and Dies

Southington, June 6--A pounding Of hoofs and a medley Of squeals brought Michael Tedesco, q farmer on Mill street, on the run to his barn early Sunday evening to investigate whether his livestock were on a ram page. AS he approached the barn, the noise became louder and the saueals and shorts more pronounced, ,and Tedesco, wondering what was go- ing on, pulled open the door, and stood rooted 10 the spot as he beheld q buck deer weighing over 500 pounds, an unusual size, within. mak- ing frantic efforts to break out through the side of the building.
 Police Called.
 The deer looked so formidable to Tedesco, with it's big antlers. that he was afraid to enter Instead, he sent in hurry call for the local police Constables James McCabe and Thom- us F. Murphy hurried 10 the scene in an automobile, thinking from the ex- cited story of Tedesco, that murder was being committed, and when they arrived at the farm, they found the deer quietly eating Tedesco's stock of green oats. Cautioning Tedesco to lock the animal securely in the barn, the officers assisted in driving him in- to an uninhabited part Of the barn where they roped him in to save the peace of the other livestock there.
 Dies From Colic.
 The two constables returned yester- day morning, but there was nothing to be done as the deer seemed to be breathing his last. About IS min utes after they arrived. the animal died. Upon investigation. it was found that large quantity of the green oats which Tedesco had in the barn was missing and it is thought that the deer ate so much of it that collie de- veloped. and Tedesco, who is afraid of the meat now. saw his vision of plenty of venison steaks fade away.
 Bill for Damages.
 It is thought that the biz deer got into the barn on Sunday afternoon for the purpose of getting the oats. He must have nosed his way through the door and became entrapped within when the door closed behind him Then becoming panic stricken, it be- gan to pound it's hoofs and it's antlers against the side of the barn trying to get out Tedesco is going to present a bill of s5 for damages to the town for splintered boards in the building.
