TO PLACE THE BOMB HURLER
Hope Of His Identification by 1.-THE
Evening Worlds" Picture.
Those Who Saw the Man Say It's
the Best Likeness.

The mystery surrounding the head OF the
unknown bomb-thrower, which is still kept
on exhibition at the Morgue, Is as yet un-
solved.
Since the ghastly object was placed in the
jar OF alcohol last Saturday morning and the
public has been allowed to view IT for pur-
poses OF identification, at least three thou
sand persons have gazed on Its features.
Several persons declared positively that the
head was that OF the prisoner Southworth.
Some believed that the face in the jar was
that OF "Prof." Denton, a Brooklyn crank,
while others thought 1t resembled erratic
persons whom they had not recently seen.
None Of the alleged identincations was COM
plete enough to satisfy Coroner Mcssemer or
the Morgue officials
Now the effects OF the alcohol have so
swollen the dead features as to bafle any
further attempts at Identification from its In
spection.
The main hope OF the authorities is now in
THE EVENING WORLDS portrait of the head,
likeness. Coroner Messemer has obtained q
large number OF copies OF last Saturdays s
EVENING WORLD containing the picture, and
these are shown to every person who calls to
Inspect inc relic.
Coroner Messemer says Undoubtedly
THE EVENING WORLD secured splendid pic
ture In TACT, the best have seen"
This view is corroborated by Deputy Cor
oner jenkins, who says that at affords a
person every opportunity to recognize the
head"
Russell sage, whose life was attempted by
the explosion OF the bomb, declares that "the
picture Is true to life. II is the head OF the
man that demanded money from Inc. 1t is
the best picture have yet seen"
said: 1t is, in my Judgment, the best pic
ture that has been printed"
Broker L. l.. Weston adds: That's the
only true picture OF tho bomb thrower's head
think ought to know because l sat along
side him on a bench in Mr.. Sage's Office, be-
fore the explosion and talked with him."
Warden O'Rourke, OF Bellevue Hospital,
thinks "1t is a remarkable picture, and
should aid very materially in indentifying
the head"
Assistant Morgue-Keeper Finnigan says
:" 1t Is the best picture l have seen," and
Morgue Messenger John Maloney declares It
is I" he only picture that can aid an identi-
fication."
Joseph Pail, of 1875 Wooster street, who
took plaster OF paris cast Of the head, pro-
nounces THE EVENING WORLDS picture au
excellent likeness. -" i will use 1t In finishing
up the plaster cast have taken"
Col. Slocum, Mr.. Sage's brother-in-law, said
to-day that the venerable dealer In puts, calls
and would undoubtedly be at his oi1lce next
week.
The others who were injured py the ex-
plosioI are getting along well. Osborne will
be able to leave Chambers Street Hospital in
few days.

CAUGHT IN A BACK DRAUGHT.
Narrow Escape Of Firemen from
an Awful Death.

Brought Help In Time.

Two flrcmen had narrow escape from
being burned to death In Il fire at 800 Broome

Mindt and his wife run the place fer stein
ecker.
Besides Mr.. and Mrs. M!ndt there were
about fifteen persons sleeping IN the house.
All got out without trouble. Two OF the
bo ardcrs went back to get their trunks and
the police had to drive them out.
When the flremen got there volumes OF
thick, black sm Ike were pouring from the
basement. Assistant Foreman Hrueger and
Fireman Farley, Of truck, rushed upstairs,
and while they were In the hell the street
door was closed by a back draft.
Almost Immediately the flames burst forth
from the basement and cnve.opcu the front
OF the building The nre burned furiously,
and the two ilremcn were hcmmed In.
For few minutes IL seemed that there was
no escape for them and that they would
surely be burned to death. The spectators
on the street outside held their breath In
horror
The imprisoned men could be Leard shout
Ing for help. They were cropping around IN
side, trying to find way OF escape.
AS yet no water had been turned on, but n
moment latter II came, and two streams were
directed into the iiame.
For q brief interval the flames were driven
back. IN that interval n fireman ran up the
steps, pushed open the door and released the
two tiremen.
The next minute the flames broke cut
again, and before they were put out the base
ment and part Of the trst floor had been
gutted.
The fire spread to the rear OF the building
100 Forsyth street, which Is occupied by
Theresa Weiner as woman's boarding
house. There was great excitement among
the inmates. The damage was about $4,000.

Alexander Potruch, OF l74 Clinton street,

represented TO be heir to fortune OF
$l4,OOO,0oo.
Long before his bright visions OF wealth he
was suitor for the hand OF Miss Sarah
Granitzer, belle OF sunolk street, whose
domlc!le was at No. 1S.
Papa Granitzer coldly denied the suspcnder-
yender'S suit In these words: " When you
have acquired fortune come TO me again.
None but millionaire can have my sarah"
Potruch woke up one morning and read In

evening DR.. Pogue and others arrested near
the johnson and Hill county line horse
thief with two stolen horses, supposed
from papers found on his person to be jim
Lewis They brought him down to Blum,
q small town in the northwestern part Of
Hill county, and turned him and the horses
over to Constable G. W. McClusky for safe
keeping. McCluslSy took him and the horses
out TO his farm three or four miles from
Blum. AS they were going along Lewis
begged McClusky to take the handouts of
of him. which he did. They both were rid
ing the stolen horses
When they were about half way between
town and the farm Lewis reached over and
struck McClusky a stunning blow IN the
back OF the head. They clinched and fell
down between the horses.
Lewis overpowered the constable, took
his pistol from him, cooked it and made
him get out the handouts He then
locked one Of them to one of the constable's
wrists, the other to wire fence and threw
the key away, and robbed him of about $50
In gold and some currency. amounting IN
all TO $780, He then took his overcoat, sad
ole and hat, mounted one horse, and led the
other away. a short distance from
there he was seen by other parties going
around a field. A pistol shot was heard
and short time afterwards he was seen
going over hill in gallop. He had killed
one horse and left it in the bushes. A pur-
suing party followed him within about
fifteen miles of Hillsboro, when they lost
him owing to night coming on. He stopped
at several places and inquired the way to
the county seat. From this it was supposed
he wished to get to Hillsboro and take a
train, but 50 far he has not, as officers are
keeping close watchout for him. From

that he is the same jim Lewis who muir

to hold the stock cattle to feed themselves.
Then In Dakota and Nebraska cattle cannot
fatten altogether on the native grasses. In
Montana grass fed cattle can be taken off
the ranch rolling with fat and sent direct
to the butchers. The high price of corn
has. as consequence. caused thousands of
cattle TO be sent from those states, the
very ones which furnish the Sioux City
markets, to Montana to be fed on the
ranges. Stockmen report trainload after
trainioad of stuff moving to Montana over
the Great Northern and Northern Pacific
roads to be fed and returned to the butch
ers in the fall They report that but very
little of the stuff is changing hands, and
most of il will be fed in Montana by the
owners before it is shipped.
Another cause is that the government has
advertised for contractors TO furnish the
Indians with between 10000 and 80, 900 head
of cattle. The specifications require that
the cattle must be all domestic stock. This
practically shuts out Texas cattle and leaves
the Northwest to fill the contracts. Stock
men say that the ranchmen are bidding on
the contract, and as a consequence are hold
ing back large quantities of stock in case
they should be awarded them. The cattle
advertised for are as manv as have been re-
ceived in Sioux City since January l. This
cuts big hole in the cattle supply of the
Northwest.
Hundreds of cattle this year will be fed
on grass until the new corn crop comes in.
Corn,it is expected, will be cheaper then and
the cattle will be finished up on it in the
fall preparatory to marketing.
While it is thought generally that there
will be as many cattle on grass as ever be-
fore not half so many stock cattle will go
to market, although as many of them are
being taken as are offered for sale. Most
of the stock is being held by the original
owners because of the excellent prospects
for profit. 1t is predicted that next years
cattle run viii be large and of good quality.
