PANTHER ESCAPES
HUNTSMAN'!S SHOT
Beast Returns to Northeast
Area, Leaving Few Clues
on Ice Crusted Snow.

A panther-like beast appeared again
last night in the Benning-Deanwood
area of Northeast Washington, receiving
its usual welcome of buckshot, and skunk
silently away, apparently unhurt. The
animal left no evidence of having been
wounded, nor were there any reports of
depredations indicating the beast ate
last night.
His gun loaded with a special" shell
containing automobile parts, George
Kenney Of Fiftieth street and Fitch
place, bla@ad away at the beast shortly
after midTeghs when, he says, he saw its
stealthy form In she shadows Of shrub
berry in the grounds of the National
Training School for Girls at F1ftieth
and Fades street northeast.
At the report of the shot. Kenney told
eleventh precinct police this morning
the beast bounded high into the air and
disappeared in the shrubbery. -Four
more shots were fired by Kenney's
companions.
Fails to Leave Trail.
The beast left no distinguishable trail
on the ice-incrusted snow. A few
tracks were found near where the men
saw the beast leap into the air, but
this morning the tracks had been so
walked over by curious residents of
the section that there was nothing to
indicate what sort of animal had been
there.
The scene of the shooting was gone
over carefully by S. r. Mckee, the
eleventh precincts chief panther
hunter, but the evidence Of the visit
of the beast was not strong enough for
Mckee to bring out the hounds now
quartered at the station house.
Mckee made a thorough search Of
the grounds of Suburban Gardens, an
amusement park nearby, which has
been held by some to be the hiding
place Of the animal. Several large
holes were found beneath buildings. all
evidently dug by large animals. but no
trace of panther or any other cat
like beast was found in any of them.
All Quiet on Maryland Front.
The panther" situation in Southern
Maryland, in the Forrestville and La
Plata sections, remained quiet. No
reports of further depredations had
been received in the Capital this aft
ernoon and the residents of both sec
lions believe the animal has been driven
out by hunters.
The panther hunt took a serious
turn yesterday afternoon when Earl
Perry, IL, colored, of 713 Irving street,
contemplating vast rewards and glory
for Staying or capturing the beast, acci-
dentally discharged revolver in his
home and sent bullet crashing into
the shoulder Of his younger brother,
GerSon, 3.
Gerson is in Freedmen's Hospital in
serious condition.
Weeping copiously. Earl, shortly after
the shooting, told tenth precinct police
men that the rumored reward of $500
for the animal dead and $1,000 for 1t
alive prompted him to plan a panther
hunt in the Soldiers Home grounds.
Going to a bureau on the second floor
Of his home with his younger brother.
he obtained the pistol. While examin-
ing the weapon, Earl says, it accidental
ly went off,
The revolver was reported to have
belonged to an uncle Of the boys.
