Some say that Wey- ler preferred death to the ignominy of his name. Others insist that his savage glutting was satiated upon himself. Whatever the cause may have been Weyler dled early Mon- day morning at the Chutes. ‘Weyler was the premier hyena of the zoo. He was the animal person- ification of savage cowardice and re- ceived his name from some one who had studied the Cuban war. Weyler was but little larger than a dog, dull gray and striped black in color.

On Monday mornin the end came. When the keepers o the zoo approached Weyler's cage they saw the hyena caimly eating his’ leg. He had crunched flesh, bones, hide and hair until only & bleeding stump remained. The animal, dreadful in its self- affliction, could not be frightened from its feast. The keepers shouted, but the hyena was, unmindful of their cries. Other endeavors fail- ing, one of the keepers sent a bullet mto the animal’s brain and instantly llled it. The incident has created considerable comment, as it is ap- zurently without precedent. Mon- eys have been known to bite their tails off inan ecstnc{; of pain.

FRUITS OF A SCANDAL MOTHER AND DAUGHTERS AT SWORDS’ POINTS.

The threatening retort which followed her strange state- ment was made, so she claims, by Dr. Frank B. Robinson, son of the late Dr. | Luke Robinson. After making the alleged threat, Dr. Robinson, according to Mrs. Wrede, drew an_ugly-looking dirk from his pocket and | threatened to use it if she‘carried out her intention of bearing tales to his mother. The stormy interview took place at,the home of Mrs. Wrede, at 2026 Pine street, about a fortnight ago, in the presence of her three daughters, Birdie and Edith, charming girls of 18 and 21 years, and Mrs. Millie Pierce, who is_only a few years older. Dr. Frank Pierce, Mrs. ‘Wrede's son-in-law, was also present. The row had been brewing for some two years and was occasioned, so Mrs. Wrede states, | by Dr. Robinson’s undue attentions to he daughter Edith.

F. B. ROBINSON, Who Mrs. Wrede Says Threatened Her Life. uge with a frierid at 418 Golden Gate ave- nue, where she is still sta n% Edith Wrede, Mrs. Millie Pierce, the latter's husband and Dr. Robinson, are very much disturbed over the sensational allegations made by Mrs. Wrede. They all freely admit, however, that a quarrel occurred at the Wrede home, in the heat of which some burning words were ban- died back and forth, but they strenuously deny _that Dr. Robinson threatened to take Mrs. Wrede's life. She ordered Dr. Robinson to leave the house, they say, but none of them saw the doctor flourish a nife. The day after Mrs. Wrede left her home she disposed of the furniture, carpets and household fixtures, leaving the handsome two-story structure as_bare as Mother Hubbard’s cupboard. The daughters are deeply incensed at their mother’s actlons, | and Dr. Robinson continues to be a regu- lar visitor at Edith - Wrede's desolate home. ‘When seen yesterday afternoon by a Call reporter Mrs. Wrede was still very much wrought up over the affair. At first she was reluctant to furnish the details concerning her quarrel with- Dr. Robin- son, but finally she made the foliowing statement “Dr. Frank Robinson, although he is a married man, has been keeping company with my daughter for a period of two vears, during which time he has been a constant visitor at my home on Pine street. His visits were extremely dis- tasteful to me. I knew he had a loving | wife and two children, and 1 did not fancy his mnklnf love to Edith, and more than once I requested him to keep away. He paid little heed to my wishes, and for that matter neither did Edith. She loved him blindly, and all my pleadings with her were in vain. She remaine away from:home, when she first became ac- uainted with Dr. Robinson, for several snyu at a time. When she would return I ‘alwaye scolded her, but she was of age and thought she was able to take care of erself. “The doctor kept coming to the house and finding that my protestations had no effect I nnalli @ycided to tell his father, the late Dr. Luke Robinson, and accord- ingly did so. He expressed great sorrow at his son's waywardness, and promised to do what he could to put a stop to the flirtation. “1 don’t know what passed between father and son, but at any rate Dr. Rob- inson did not stop paying court to Edith. Things went on and dith left home again. I then decided to tell Mrs. Rob-; ingon of her husband’s unfajthfulness. I called on her and asked if the doctor was at home. She told me that her husband ‘had not been home for several nights. I told her of his behavior with my daughter | Al I remained out of slfiht the entire night, for 1 feared that ,Dr.: Robinson might make' good his threat. In the morning he was still at the house, so I picked up my belongings and came down here to stay with my friend. “My daughters took Dr, Robinson's e#rt. so I could not stand it any longer, hen I left the house I told them that I intended to report:Dr. Robinson's assault on me to police headquarters, but on sec- ond consideration, I.decided to let the matter rest. I have no:desire at this time to cause him any trouble.

There are no beds in the house. A few wooden stools and chalrs, together with several kerosene lamps, make up the sum total of the household. goods. The story of Dr. Rabinson's alleged as- sault upon Mrs.- Meta Wrede was em- hatically denied:by Miss Wrede, Mrs. lerce and Dr. Pjerce, all of whom have a long tale of woe: based on the suffering they claim to have , experienced ‘at the hands of Mrs. Wrede. 47 Miss Edith Wrede, who, according to her mother’s story, was the cause of thi Robinson fight, positively -declared thas {::r mx‘x:jother'xa story is false' from beginning ““The fight all started over a mere noth- ing,” she sald. “Dr. Robinson had callel in to see us and my mother and sisters.

Dr. Pierce spoke in the highest terms {of Dr. Robinson, and declared Mrs. Wrede's attack upon his good name and fair.fame. not only unwarranted and ma- licious, but a most ur:;rra.teful return®for many benefits received. “Dr. Robinson has been a true, kind friend to the Wrede family,” said Dr. Plerce, “and many is the time the little Wredes would have gone supperless to bed if It had not been for the bounty of the doctor.” Son-in-law and daughters are unan- | imous in agreeing that Mrs. Wrede, al- | though to all outward seeming a charming and agreeable woman, is pos- sessed of an ungovernable temper, and is never 80 happy as when engaged in a quarrel or a good hand-to-hand fight. All thefflrls tell tales of scratched faces, blackened eves and hair-pulling matches, and Mrs. Plerce claims that even her po- sitlon as a matron did not exempt her from a fistic encounter with her mother. The mother’s latest alleged escapade and her reported attacks upon: Dr. Robin- son-they are inclined to look upon as the natural results of undesirable associates. “Mother’s company is not what it skould be,” said Mrs. Pierce. ‘Her Inti- mate friends are Mrs. Grace Hummelten- berg and Mrs. Cummings of 418 Golden Gate avenue, and I do not consider their influence good.” “‘Yes, and there are some prominent men, too,” exclaimed Edith Wrede, “and perhaps if I would make public their names they might explain what they have done with the money mother gave them.” Mrs. Pierce threatens to call the atten- tion of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children to the sad condition of her little brothers and sisters. Dr. Frank Robinson, when seen late last night, emphatically denied that he had ever drawn a knife upon Mrs. Wrede. He characterized her as a dissolute blackmailer,” -and said, although there had been a quarrel between them, no Wweapons had been displayed.
