Guggenleim Death
Declared Suicide:
New Probe Asked

NEW YORK, Nov. 10. UP) -
George Denver Guggenheim was
listed by police as an apparent
suicide" today but the 32-year-old
mining heirs family requested fur
ther investigation in the belief his
death might have been accidental.
The only surviving son of Simon

dent OF the American Smelling and
Refining company and senator from
Colorado from 1906 to 1913. was
found shot to death in a midtown
motel last night. A heavy caliber
hunting rifle from which a bullet
had been fired through his right
temple lay under the body.
Guggenheim was a member of
American Smelting's executive com
mittee and a director of the Cen
eral Cable corporation. He was a
grandson of the late Meyer Gug-
genheim, founder of the famous
mining fortune. He was a bach
elor.
Guggenheim registered at the
hotel Wednesday afternoon as HUI
bert Hildebrand of San Francisco.
He carried no baggage except for
long package which, it developed
later, contained the rifle. Police
found 1928 in cash on his person.

Heroic Fire Doc
Parishes Under
Hit-Run WI heels

NEW YORK, Nov. 10. (UP)-
Niger was old, his ancestry was
q little dubious and he was small
as fire dogs go, but there never
will be another occupant big enough
to fill his place of privilege on the
seat of engine No. 203.
Niger died last night-not of old
age nor of any illness, but because
a hit-and-run motorist struck
him down in front of the Hicks
street station where for 10 years
he had responded to every fire
alarm by leaping to the seat OF
203 and barking for the boys to
hurry.
In his 10 years of active service
Niger "a brindle mongrel - won
three medals for life-saving and in
1886 received the diploma of honor
for valor awarded by the magazine
Dog World
1t was Nigger's practice-a tech
nique he developed on his own-to
leap from the engine and dash into
a burning building ahead of the
firemen to scout around.
The exploit firemen talk most
about occurred one night three years
ago when Niger rode to a fire
at the home of Mrs. Maria Ber-
mudez. John, Mrs. Bermudez' To-
year-old son, ran back into the
house to get his pet cat, Carlotta.

Niger disliked cats, but he knew
his duty. He went into the burning
house too, and came out, singed
but dragging Carlotta with him.
John didn't make it and died.
Niger got a bronze medal for
that and a certificate from the
National Kennel Club of Washing
ton, d. G.
There were other deeds and
enough medals to make an impress
sive showing on Nigger's breast
when they have his body mounted
after the funeral.
What affected the men of 2O3
most today, however, was not Mig
gers distinguished record but the
way he died. Mortally injured, he
dragged himself into the station,
crouched at the side of the engine
and leaped toward the seat which
always before he had made at a
single bound.
This time the leap fell short.
Niger collapsed and died on the
running board.

There have been cases where

with one normal and one partly

The most famous recent case of
a child. with two normal heads, he
said, was reported from Moscow in

previous November, was still alive
at the time the report reached
this country and had been the sub

found, DR.. Fishbein said, that one
of the child's heads slept while
the other was awake. The Moscow
child was girl
