man by q Fake Fit.

The physicians OF Gouverneur Hospital
say that Samuel Coughran, sixty-six

the Third Az nue. "L." 4; a caused
by Policeman Schroeder running up the
Elevated station stairs and telling Ticket
Agent Snider that there was a man with
a fit downstairs.
When the policeman got back to the
street the man with the Mt had disap.
peared. A man in the crowd which had
collected said the sick mans name was
Coughran. He knew him.
When the ambulance came rolling up
the surgeon was angry to learn that his
case had walked away.
The next time you have. a man with
a fake fit don't get ratified" suggested
the urgeon.
The next time Coughran was heard
from there was need OF an ambulance:
He. stood talking with George Ferris, Of
IL Lewis street, at the foot Of Rivington
said. II guess I'll take a swim" Then
Coughran jumped into the river.
Ferris and Patrick McManus. of tb2
{ Grand street; got into a boat Doad, Hnd wen, vent
and shouting. FOR help. There were no
oars in the boat. SO the men padded
With their hands. When the boat got
to Coughran he wouldn't get In. so he
was towed towards the pier.
In the mean time Policeman Sheridan
came M. He threw a rope out. which
was tied around Coughran's body: Then
the policeman and the rescuers dragged
the curiously acting man up the side OF
the pier. He complained. as he shivered
in his wet clothes, that It was a pity, a
man couldn't take II bath when no
wanted to. An ambulance took him to
Gouverneur Hospital a prisoner. The
surgeon SUI, asked M hin " he wsnsrd to . Som-

ments for one or more cars and will
where one society cannot fill car,

come in a special car. These cars
will be decorated inside and out and
will be sidetracked in Waco, and
will be special object of interest
TO every one.

of the executive committee of the
state convention, would like tc
