About o'clock they were awakened
by an unusual noise on Washington

window to ascertain what was going
on. Finding it to be nothing of i'm
portance, they went back to bed, but
had hardly laid down when the heavy
back Of the bed fell, pinning them so
tightly that neither were able to get
out. The young woman was uninjured
but her mother was rendered insen-
sible. The former called for help, and
as soon as Mrs. Griffin recovered con-
sciousness her feeble voice Joined that
of her daughter They screamed until
nearly exhausted. but it was not until
they had remained in their dangerous
position for an hour, and were nearly
smothered, that their calls for help
were heard. A man living on the
fourth floor had his attention attracted
by the cries, and he summoned police
officer and burst in the door The two
men arrived none too soon, but their
united strength could not lift the heavy
bed, More assistance was secured, and
Mrs and Miss Griffith were rescued.
Mrs. Grifiths chest was badly
crushed, and DR.. A. c. Smith was sent
for He examined the injuries and pro-
nounced them to be serious. A pro-
lection on the back of the bed had
struck and its weight almost crushed

physically hurt but she received a bad
scare.
Last night Mrs. Griffith was resting
easily, and unless her internal injuries
are more serious than is now supposed,
she will recover.

Heads Of All the Presidents.

Daniel Titus, convict in the Mon
tana Penitentiary, at Deer Lodge, has
sent to Kansas City attorney cane
fashioned by himself during his idle
hours, which is a marvel of artistic
work. The stick is light, straight
piece Of beechwood A gold head orna-
ments the top, but this is discounted by
the remarkable wood carving Convict
Titus, with his penknife, has carved up
on the slender stick faithful representa-
tons Of the faces Of every American
President from Washington to Harri-
son. This includes every man who has
ever occupied the White House, be-
cause President Cleveland, now serving
his second term, was Harrison's pre-
decessor and successor
Directly below tho ornamental gold
head-piece the convict carved tho Amer
lean eagle and tho motto Of tho United
States, "E Pluribus Unum." A shield
with the bars and stars in the centre,
an excellent likeness Of the Father of
His Country is next, then follow the
faces of all the Presidents. The stick
was evidently taken when green Tho
outer bark was polished and cut away
to the sapwood. This was cut and
carved in thousands Of delicate hair
lines, and then the wood was cut away,
leaving each face on a raised surface.
The work is as delicately done AZ tho
finest pen aud ink work, and that Con-
vict Titus is an artist AZ we'll as genius
is Infested by the faithful representa-
tons.
Interest attaches TO the history of tho
man who carved this cane. 10 the
Montana Penitentiary he is known as
"Convict No G54." Daniel Titus ia
undoubtedly an assumed name. No ono
knows who he is or for what offense no
was sent to the penal institution at Deer
Lodge. To an attorney who asked for
his history and statement Of the case
on which no was convicted. he wrote
