too apt to think that "every-

Now, that line Of thought isa
mighty bad one for business

Cut by q ClairvOyant,

Sergt Theodore Kaucher Of the second police
precinct had an armful of clothing in the Police
Court today, which is to be used as evidence in
an assault case. The clothing consisted of a
coat and vest and al nvercoat. All three gar
ments showed e~idence of having come in
contact with a sharp instrument and it was
alleged that the instrument was razor. The
defendant in the case was Mrs. Carrie Proctor,
a clairvoyant who lives at No. 1887 Madison
street, and the man she was charged with cut
ting was a printer named William F. Beedle,
who lives in the fortune teller's house. The
cut extended the entire length of his chest and
was SO serious that he was not able to appear in
court today. The affair occurred about 4
o clock yesterday afternoon and, according to
the police, both Beedle and the woman had
been drinking. After the trouble Mrs. Proctor
ran out Of the house IN her night clothes and
was found in house in the alley. On account
of Beedle's condition the case was continued.
