Struck Natural Gas.

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-Natural gas has
broken out at the second place 10 Chi
oago; this time within the business por-
tion Of the city In the water fountain In
the Office OF the Leland hotel. 1t was es-
tablished today and is sending forth
volumes Of iDflammable gas. The foun-
tain is supplied by an artesian we'll.
which was sunk In the cellar OF the
hotel to a depth of 125 feet. Two days
ago this fountain stopped its usual
steady flow and has since sputtersd
badly. Today the hotel engineer dis
covered the cause Of the stoppage to be
natural gas, and with the help OF q
roughly constructed apparatus, proved
bis assertion by turning the cause Of the
splutteriDg into q flame 8 inches long.
Like Cooks brewery, where natural gas
was first discovered IN Chicago about
two weeks ago, the Leland hotel is close
to the Lake shore. The hotel Is two
miles distant from the brewery.

The Great Mind Reader.

The only entertainment transpirIng In
San Antonio last night was the mind
reading exhibit and spiritualIstie seance
given at the Grand opera house by Prot
j. Randall Brown. The house, that IL
the orchestra and dress circle, were
comfortably filled. The gallery god Il
came down stairs owing to the reduction
In prices rs and 80 cents. Mr.. Brown
early In the evening acted as doorkeeper
and his wife sold tickets at the box
Office. The mind reading part Of the
exhibition was quite wonderful
although very tiresome and slow. The
table tipping and spirituslistic seancs
was not so good.
Another performance will be given bs

DAMS DEATH.

The Brave Young Deputy Sheriff
Succumbs to His AccIden-
tai Injuries.
Warm friends Of Mr.. Dan McClusky
began to hope yesterday morning that
his injuries received In his accidental
shooting at the Revolving Light saloon
last Thursday would not, after all, prove
fatal, as a change for the better was
noticeable at that time. Yesterday
afternoon. however, he sank so rapidly
that death occurred at 6 O'Clock. He
made no other statement than
that given to Justice Chas. Barnes
Saturday morning, and was unconscious
at the time OF his death. The remains
were Inferred this afternoon from st.
Mary's church, at ! o'clock, and the
funeral was attended by large number
OF the city and county officials, and
friends and relatives Of the deceased.
The innocent cause of his death, Con-
stable Stevens, was placed In the county
jail last night on the death Of MoClusky,
more as matter OF com piiance with the
law than for anything else. This morn
Ing at 8 O'Clock, the preliminary
examination OF Constable Stevens
on the charge Of assault with
intent TO kill, was convened before JUS
tioe McAilister. After a long and ex-
haustive examination OF witnesses Ball,
Fitzhenry, Kroeger, Barnes, and Drs.
Hays, Herff, BrsunnsgeI ard Bennett, in
which there was not a bit OF evidence
to show that the shooting was inten.
tional, the court held the prisoner 10 the
nominal bond OF $50, which he readily
gave. His previous bond was $1,000
which Is quite q reduction, as negligent
homicide Is the only charge upon which
the state can hold Mr.. Stevens. Hi
friends have no fear Of the result Of she
grand jury's investigation, or the final
disposition by the district court. NeRli
gent homicide will not stick, either, II
any credit can be given the dying state.
