Pet Ferret Attacks Baby.
A pet ferret, which had been allowed
to play about the cradle of her baby,
attacked the five-months-old son of
Mrs. Carrie Cobb at Grafton, W. Va.
Before the mother discovered what
the beast was doing it had eaten one
cheek, partly devoured one eyeball and
had punctured the back of the child's
head ,as well as a vein in the child's
nostril. The baby will probably die.

collector for gambling money, had
confessed that the police lieutenant
had ordered to have Herman Rosen-

The arrest and arraignment of
Becker followed swiftly after Rose's
confession and the confessions of Brid-
gey Webber and Harry Vallon, who
corroborated Rose in every important
particular,
District Attorney Whitman, question-
ing the three purisoners for four hours,
pounded one against the other until
they all broke down and said Rosen-
thal was shot down in front of the
Metropole by a hired gang because
Becker wanted it done.
The grand jury acted speedily. With
their confessions warm on their lips,
Rose, Webber and Vallon went before
the grand jury, put their hands on the
Bible and swore that they had told the
whole truth.

Rose's confession, the most vital of |
the three, details how Becker six
weeks ago told him that Herman Ro-
senthal had Mved too long, that Re-
senthal had to be put out of the way,
and that the men who did the job had
nothing to fear, because he (Becker) '
was a power in the police department.

Huckleberries seem tobe in great demand. A
day or two since I overheard O. T. Corman, pro-
duce dealer, tell several farmers in the post office
that he would buy all the huckleberries they
would bring him, and would pay the highest
market price in cash, as he had orders for them
to almost an unlimited quantity; and that they
should tell their neighbors that if they wanted
the cash to bring him all they could pick. Mr.

tenant Becker, but for officers higher
up in the police department, swears he
did not know that murder was to be
done the night his hired thugs met at
Bridgey Webber's and sat there wait-
ing for the signal that Rosenthal, the
squealer, was about to leave the Hotel
Metropole. Rose says he knew some-
thing was to be done to Rosenthal, but
that he would have flinched from the
task if he had known that pistols were
to be used against the informer.
Bridgey Webber, the host of the
murder conspirators, backed up Rose,
and told of what was said when he and
Rose met Becker up town a few days
before the murder. Becker was hot for
the killing.
As for Harry Vallon, his confession
was the least important of the three.
But, like Webber, he supported Rose

Rose said also that Becker had told
him that $2,400,000 was the yearly po-
lice graft from gambling, disorderly
houses and other forms of blackmail.
Rose swore that Becker had con.
fided to him that the loot was divided
among four police officials, Becker
himself, two policemen of higher rang
and a minor official who does not wear
a uniform.
“Jack,” said Becker, “the rake-off is
