BOB," THE BEAR, DEAD DIED IN HIS PIT IN HERSHEY PARK LAST THURSDAY MORNING Every one who has visited Hershey Park and has made friends with "Bob," the black bear, will be sorry to learn that he died in his pit last Thursday morning. There has been no indications that he was not well until a very short time before he died. As is the habit of his specie he had been sleeping most of the winter. His keeper, Mr. Zinner, has been at-tending him daily, and as long as "Bob" did not move about his pit much, the only way of 'judging his condition was the way he took his food. When Mr. Zinner threw in his loaf Thursday morning "Bob" reached for it as usual and showed nothing to indicate that he was not well. About eleven o'clock Mr. Zinner was passing the pit and noticed that something was wrong with the bear. Before anything could be done to save him, he had died. Post-mortem examination showed that death was due to congestion of the liver.. . The winter being a severe one, he had taken cold even though protected by the cement den in his pit. His pelt has been sent to the Frank Blake Webster Company at Hyde Park, Mass., where it is .to. be made into a rug. . His coat of fur was an exceptionally good one. "Bob" was seven years of age. He and his made "Mag" were brought to Hershey in May 1910. "Mag" lived but a short time after their arrival. Her death was. caused by tin foil which was fed to her in different things that were thrown into the pit by visitors to the zoo. She was stuff-ed and now stands in the "Press" office at the entrance to the Park. Since her death "Bob" has been alone in his pit. He was very tame and on good terms with his' trainer. He was born in captivity. His weight was 375 pounds. Arrangements are being made to secure a pair of cubs to place in the pit where "Bob" has made his home. ELECTRIC SIGNS AND NEW LIGHTS WILL BE PLACED BE-FORE SEASON OPENS Three large electric signs have arr rived which will be placed in Hershey Park before the sgason opens. : One of them is two feet in height and will be located at the cafe. The others are one and one half feet in height One goes at the entrance to the am phitheater and the other at the. danc-ing pavilion. In addition to these other -. illuminations will- :be added. Larger lights are being placed around the drives which will make the: park much more attractive at night than it has been in the past. MORE IMPROVEMENTS FOR PARK Thursday evening at six o'clock Rev E. A. Sharp, pastor of Salem United Brethren Church, will speak before the ministerial students of Lebanon Valley College.
