Streets in ST. Louis.
We take the following from Tues

To be assaulted by an attractive CIR
simply because one has persisently
wooed her is generally conceded to b
though luck,v but that is the exper
ience which befell Daniel Gallagher
whose hands were severely burned
late Sunday night while he was pro
tecting himself against the stroke Of 8
red-hot poker, which, he claims, wal
welded by his charmer and female
friend. Behind this incident there /:
a remarkable story of love ant
comedy.
Gallagher lives on Grand avenue
near Arsenal street, and he has beer
distressingly enamored of Miss Jennie
Broderick, who lives with Mr., and
Mrs. John T. Feaman, Of e412 South
Broadway. For several years Daniel
paid assiduous attention to rsiiss
Broderick and for equalhaa.s long 8
time the latter attempted 81 pay, nc
attention to him. But he succeeded,
while she did not. Daniel is nothing
if not persistent.
He called at Miss Broderick' abode
with painful constancy and she snub.
bed him with excruciating regularity
In fact, Gallagher tried hereeially t0
believe that Miss Jennie was merely
joking, but when he tried to persuade
her of the same thing she objected.
But his sanguine development is OF
abnormal proportions. and conse-
quently he did not despair.
Miss Broderick claims that she ex-
ercised all OF her ingenuity to dis
courage Gallagher's visits. But he
was not. susceptible to hints. Once
an irritable dog was brought into
service, but Daniel got around that.
a year ago Policeman Martin Hani-
fan escorted the young man away from
in front of the house at.1 O'Clock in
the morning
This condition of affairs continued
until Sunday night at II O'Clock,
when Mr.. Feaman attempted to have
Gallagher arrested. But the police
man summoned was in doubt about
the ordinances governing the case,
and he, Feanan and Gallagher adj
journed to the Carendelet police sta
ton, where the sergeant warned Gal
lagher to keep away from Miss Brod-
erick's abode, and advised Feaman to
consult the Prosecuting Attorney.
But Gallagher went straight from
the police station to the Feaman house.
There, Mrs. Feaman and Miss Brod-
erick expressed much weariness. AS
a dernier resort, they heated a poker.
While they were heating the iron,
Gallagher left But the women had
been intent of their purpose, and when
the poker becGme hot they started in
pursuit of Daniel.
He was walking north on Broad
way, and when he detected the omi-
nous expression of the two women's
faces he attempted to run. But he
wasn't ouick enouph.
1t is said that the women attempted
to beat him on the head with the poker.
Each time it descended Gallagher
saved his Uranium by catching the hot
iron with one, and sometimes both
hands. After the poker became cold
the women returned to their home.
Gallagher was taken to drug store
near by, where his hands were treated.
According to Miss Broderick's story,
Gallagher formerly worked for her
father in Cape Girardeau County, on
Mr.. Broderick's farm. When Mr..
Broderick died, he left his estate to
his children, Jennie and her brother.
Miss Broderick says since that time,
Gallagher has been more persistent in
his attentions than ever.
