A SAFEGUARDING FEAT.
Remark able Story of the Som
nambuiistic Experience OF a
Brakeman.

Charles Van Solver, a young man
who. for several months. has been
boarding with the family of August
Schlettler, on Mississippi street. had a
thrilling experience Tuesday night as
the result of a somnambulistic tendency
he possesses. Van Sewer is con-
firmed sleep walker, and, fearful that
he might some time walk to his death
while in an unconscious condition. he
has, during his stay at the Schlettler
house, occupied a room in company
with a youth named Allen, machiniSt
employed in the railroad shops. To
prevent Van Solver from leaving the
sleeping apartments without his knOwl-
edge Allen has been in the habit of ty
ing a string to his wrist and attaching
the other end to that of the walker.
This he did Tuesday night as usual,
and, so the story was told yesterday,
was much surprised on waking
about 2:30 a. m. to discover that the
knot haG been united and the prisoner
had left the room. A haSty examina-
ton showed that Van Solver had partly
dressed himself before leaving. The
house was searched, but no trace of the
missing man could be discovered until a
couple of street SWeeperS stated that
they had passed man going toward the
Mississippi street bridge, clad only in
his trousers and shirt. This clue was
followed by Allen and the Schlettlers,
father and son, but the man could not be
found. The party returned to the house
with the idea that the police, noticing
Van Sewers condition would probably
bring him home OF lock him up until
morning. 1t was 4:30 and broad day
light when the Schlettlers were aroused
by knocking at the door of the house.
James Kenney aud Ed Farrar had
brought the sleeper home, having found
him in the Chestnut street yard, skip
ping along the tops of freight cars and
twisting brakes as though his life de-
pended on it. Van Solver, when asked
whether he had been drinking, replied
that he had not tasted liquor for four
years. The Kansas City people had
promised him a job breaking In the
yards, and his anxiety to get on had leo
to the somnambullstie ev0Iutions in
which he was surprised by Farrar and
Kenny.

Attempts to Secure the Cash Box
of the Harris Theater.

Attempts to Secure the Cash Box
of the Harris Theater.
The Harris theater was, at 1880 last
night, the scene of as bold an attempt
at robbery as has been chronicled in
this part OF the country for several
months. Manager Dean had completed
the count of the evenings receipts and
had locked the money safely in the iron
safe. preparatory to leaving the theater
for the night. The lights in, the
lobby and foyer had boon turned
out and all was dark in
that direction, when Deans at
tention was arrested by sharp rapping
on the ticket window. He called out
that no tickets could be sold, as the
treasurer had gone home and taken the
keys with him. 70 this the man at the
window replied that he wanted to mail
the tickets and was compelled to leave
on tie last train. The manager, wish
ing to accommodate a customer, stepped
to the window and opened it,
when Immediately a revolver was
pushed through the opening,
and voice came out of the
shadows: "Hand out the stuff now, and
be damned quick about it," Dean was
so utterly taken by surprise as to be
bereft of speech for moment, but re-
covering his nerve he said he would
have to unlock the safe to get it. Step
ping from the window.he moved toward
the safe, covered all the time by the
muzzIe of a revolver. Near the safe
is the police alarm box, and Dean ac-
cepted the opportunity to turn in an
alarm. At the same time he grabbed
his revolver from the open cash drawer
and determined to fight before he gave
up the receipts, which amounted to
5000 for the evening. Apparently,
however, the thief was not as
game as his bluff had made
him seem at first sight. for the
sound of the alarm was the signal for
his hasty exit without either having
got the money or the gore of the theat-
rical manager. Mr.. Dean says that in
his excitement he failed to turn the
box far enough, and about fifteen min
uteS afterwards. instead of the patrol
wagon, messenger boy made his APP
p9arahce and was dismissed. He
| doesn't remember to have ever seen the
man before, though he thinks he must
have been in the theater during the
! evening and remained hidden in the
| foyer at the conclusion of the opera
until he thought Dean was alone. The
| fellow made good his escape. though the
manager pursued him TO the door,
! where he awaited the arrival Of the
wagon, which for the reason previously
| stated failed to show up.

A IGH.PRICED SCARE.
Ten Thousand Wanted of Firm
and Its Collector.

Serena Sandvig has commenced an
action in the United States circuit court
against WYman, Mullen & Co. and j. M.
Marx to recover damages in the sum OF
$4,000. The following story is recited
as the basis of the action: The hus-
band of the plaintiff was engaged in
the retail dry goods business in Mime
apois in 1883. Mrs. Sandvig went to
the store of Wyman, Mullen q Co. and
purchased some goods on thirty days
time. Her husband failed in business
shortly thereafter. She did not know
that her husband was insolvent at the
time of the purchase. After the failure,
Marx, as agent for Wyman, Mullen
& Co., went to Mrs. Sandvig and ac-
cused her of stealing the goods and
threatened to have her arrested and put
in jail-uSing violent gestures and bOiS-
ferrous language with the intention of
soaring her into procuring money to pay
the bill for goods. By reason of said
wrongful is Mrs. Sandvig, who was at
the time known by the defendants to
be pregnant, was so frightened as to
produce a miscarriage, and In conse-
quenee permanently injured. 1t is as
serted that Wyman, Mullen 81 Co. rati-
fed the act of Marx, their agent, with
full knowledge of said unlawful acts
and the consequences, aud informed
Mrs. Sanding that the acts Of Marx had
been done by their orders.

thing for the latter that there is plenty
