MADMAN IN A STORE.
Lauer Drove His Wife's Customers
Into the Street.
Then Barricaded the Doors and Pre-

Captured After a Day and II Night in
Spite Of His Knife Brandishing.

John Lauer, a crazy German, thirty
five years old. employed as a brewers
helper in the Budweiser Brewing Com

their living apartments are in the rear
of the store. He went suddenly insane

last evening kept forcible possession of
his place.
Lauer's wife was attending to some
customers in the store on Thursday
when they were startled by his wild
shrieks, as he rushed towards them from
the rear room, shouting that he would
kill them.
The customers did not wait for him to
| execute his threat, but fled. panic-strick-

quick.
on seeing her husband coming to-
wards her, armed with a carving-knife,
she leaped over the counter and rushed

| bolted the store door and the other
doors that led into the rear rooms and
fastened the windows.
He then prepared himself for an attack
| by laying out the carving knife. an axe,
| and some other weapons. The tenants
in the house were afraid to remain In
the upper portion of the house, fearing
that the maniac would set 1t a1re.

that In July, 1891. Stein informed her
OF the railroad company in certain
bank in this city which could be pir-
chased advantageously. He advised her
to make the investment, telling her
that the bonds would pay handsomely.
She says she gave Stein two checks,
amounting to 1910, with which to pur-
chase the bouds. but that she never re-
oeived them. Instead, she was given a
certificate of deposit from the Cont
bonds
A short time after the purchase she
was called upon to make several pay
ments for assessments on the bonds,
although she had been told that no
assessments were due.
She claims that the bonds were worth
less at the time OF the purchase; that
the railroad was In the hands of re-

She says Stein was fully aware OF
these facts when he induced her to buy
the bonds. She wants damages to the

to the birds went into the back yard to
feed them. but they failed to appear.
When August returned home about 6

the pigeons were, and was told that they
had been sold.
Mrs Wise took August to task for
secretly dsposing of the birds. Like a
flash the boy sprang at his mother and
struck her. He had no sooner done so
