Devise Means to Combat tho
Growing Menace to Bathers
in Surf
NEW YORK, July 13. A shark, In
whose stomach was part of a human
body, was killed this afternoon in
Matawan Creek, New Jersey, not far
from the spot where a man and a boy
were killed by a shark yesterday. Tho
man-cater was 11 feet long and weighed
more than 300 pounds.
The body in the shark's stomach is
beiitved to have been that of Lester
Still well, the 12-year-old boy who was
dragged to his death while bathing at
Matawan on Wednesday. The other
victim was Stanley Fisher, who was at
tacked while trying to recover the Still
well boy's body.
The shark was killed near Newport.
As soon as it had been put "to death
it was ripped open and its stomach
examined. '
Shark hunting has been in progress
alt along the Jersey coast since yester
day. Horror is spreading all along tho
New Jersey coast at the unprecedented
invasion of man-eating sharks. Thcro
is in some places an almost hysterica)
fear of thcrbathinjr. beaches and even
inland creeks and rivers aro being1
avoided. Instead of going into tho
water, persons are watching along the
shores for sharks and fishermen are go
ing out hunting for them.
With the latest report from Mata
wan, N. J., that a shark made its way
into Matawan creek, killed a man and
a boy and mangled another boy, tho
terror has spread. That sharks should
appear in such places as Beach Haven
and Spring Lake was shocking enough
to the countryside, but now that even
creeks nre proved unsafe, the horror
has increased.
Never before has a shark been known
to go into a creek. They had never
been known about the Atlantic beaches
until the attack upon bathers at Spring
Lake and Beach Haven. Where next
their hunger and ferocity will take
them is a conjecture. " And coast
habitues are taking no chances. ,
Experts everywhere are studying he
situation. They are realjzing that
something mu3t bo done to keep ths
sharks away.
At some places plans nre being dis
cussed. Whether to build piers about
the more popular beaches or just what
means are necessary to avoid the in
crease of the growing number of shark
attacks is the problem now.
Guards in motorboata are being sta
tioned nlong the outer lines of many
bathing beaches.
" Nets, harpoon parties, fishermen gen
erally and cordons of life guards jn
motorboats are among the methods
taken to rid the beaches and waters
entering into ocean bays of the ferocious
fish.
MATAWAN1. N. J.. July 13 A hug
shark that followed the wake of a fisher
man's boat Into Matawan Creek yetT'T'
killed a man and a boy. The former
had entered the water In the hope of
rescuing the other from tha grasp of th
sen. monster. Still another boy wu so
mangled that he may die The body of
the first lct!m, Lester Stlltwell, 12 yeara
old, has not been recovered. The marf who
attempted to rescue him W Stanley Fisher,
died In the Long Branch Hospital after
surgeons amputated what tha shark had
left of his right leg Joseph punu, New
York boy. Is In the New Brunswick Hospl.
tal with part ot his right lecc torn away.
Just before his death, Fisher who Is a,
strong swimmer, told surgeons a, dram-tlo
story of his struggle with the sea rover
and of Stlllwell'a death. He declared the
shark was fully eight feet long and
said that It rpust have torn the body
of StlUwell to pieces. At any rqta,
