No news has been received yet of Frank B. Churchill, who disappeared suddenly from Southington. The last which has been heard of him was when he bade his New Britain friends good bye and boarded the Washington eX- press for New York. The rumor that a note saying that he had decamped with all available property is untrue. Such a note was found but it was written by a clerk after Churchilrs disappearance.

There is little foundation for these reports. how.

HOW DOCTOR TRIED LITTLE JOKE AND GOT
HIS OWN POCKET PICKED

HIS OWN POCKET PICKED.
Or. ". Gehrken, who has an Office above Fl. Nj.
Garchows drugstore, at Allen and Rivington sts.,
caused some excitement Saturday night. He
called at the Eldrldgest. station, and reported TO
Sergeant Creedon, that woman named Mrs. Schaute,
of No. l92 Orchard-st had attempted suicide by TAX
ing phosphorus, and that an ambulance wanted.
While the doctor was relating the story Policeman
Rogers brought drunken prisoner into the station.
lie was James Cross, twentyelght years old, of No.
247 Mott-st a member of the Whyo's Cross, could
not stop his evil ways. In the presence of
two patrolmen Sergeant Crccddcn and DOoman Smith,
the Whyo picked the pocket of Dr. Gchren and pulled
out a pocketbook containing So before tho sergeant
discovered him.
When DR.. Gehrken was told OF his loss he sur
prised. The Whyo laughed at him and said that the
presence of a squad of policemen would not prevent
his doing the ligItingered act The thief was locked
up on Officer Rogers's complaint Of ntoxication.
Sergeant Creeden had tclegraphd for a Gouverneur
Hospital ambulance and had dis patched Roundsman
Chapman to get the particulars Of the attempted
suicide. The ambulance and the roundsm1n arrived at
the house almost simultaneously. Surgeon Charles f.
Perkins, with the roundsman, went 10 the third floor,
which Mrs. schautc occupies but found the doors
locked. Although they hammered on the door they
received no response. On making inquiries hom an
other tenant they learned that Mrs. Schaute had gone
to picnic with her husband In the morning and had
not returned. From what could be learned Mrs.
Schautc drinks heavily. On Friday she drank herself
speeches. Some OF the neighbors found Mrs. Schaute
In that condition. and seeing basin containing water
and pho sphorus. under the impression that She
had attempted suicide by drinking OF the stuff.
They called DR.. Gehrken. He prescribed for her.
When Mrs. schaute refused TO pay the doctor for his
services he determined to put her to some trouble
For that he reported the case to the police
