GRAPPLED WITH y MANIAC,


Exciting Struggle on the Roof oi IL sin
tecn-Story Building.
Chicago, April 5.--George Doyle
of this city and Robert Gedney Of Phila-
delphia went to the top of the Great
Northern hotel, a sixteen story building
overlooking the city. They stood for
some time looking about, and then Ged-
ney gave strange laugh and grabbed
Doyle and began to pull him about as if
the cool breeze eyhlerated to playful
ness. Then he said Hold my hands,
want to look down" Doyle did SO.
and after Mr. Gedney recovered himself,
he approached Doyle with a baleful
light in his eyes and strange earnestness
in his voice. contrasting unpleasantly
with his recent playruness. and said:
you've got to jump of the building or
I'll throw you OIL" With fearful reality
it came to Doyle's memory that Gedney
several years ago was treated for mild
form of insanity. His first impulse as
the sickening realization of his situation
came over him was to call for help. But
he saw it was useless and tried TO TEN
porize the matter as Il joke.
"Wili you jump tiercely screamed
Gcdney, and, without waiting for d re-
ply, he seized Doyle and began to drag
him toward the edge. Doyle fought
with the desperation Of dispair, and the
men staggered to and fro over the roof.
Robert Haslan. who has an Office
in the upper story of the Monadnock
building across the street, saw the men
it only sport. He soon saw. however,
that il was struggle for life and death,
and hurrying. rushed To the hotel, and
informed Eden. the proprietor. Ac-
companied by porter and three men
| they started for the roof. On the stairs
| leading to the turret they encountered
Doyle. bar beaded, with bis clothes
torn from his back. He WAS very weak,
excited and in iainting condition.
| Gedney was walking calmly around
the roof, and when Eden put his head
out of the scuttle pleasantly invited
that gentleman to come out and see the
city, but Eden declined, and finally sue
ceeded in getting Gedney to come down
for the purpose of taking drink. He
was put into room, and, when asked
why he attempted to throw Doyle OFT.
seemed surprised, but laughed and said
it was only joke. Nevertheless, he was
locked up and his father telegraphed
for.
When Doyle was able to talk he gave
graphic account Of his fearful fight for
life and it was learned that he only es-
capped by strategy. After the struggle
had progressed some time, feeling that
his strength was almost gone he sud
denly called to Gedney to stop and he
would make the jump. stipulating.
however, that he must have "a few min
utcs for prayer. He stepped back and
knelt down while Gedney reverently
bent his head Doyle watched him
through his half-closed eyes and sud
denly darted for the scuttIe and went
through it like flash into the arms Of

PORTLAND, Ore, April Sc E. Rich
ardson, the man who tagged the South
ern Pacific passenger train last Friday
and prevented it from being wrecked, is
still in the hospital, but the detectives
occupy an adjoining room and keep a
close watch on him. There is strong
suspicion that Richardson is one of the
gang who took up the rail and their OBJ
ject was not robbery, but merely the re-
ward, which Richardson received. Rich
