PROSTRATED By HEAT.
Chicago Residents Suffer From Serere
Torrid Wacc.

Torrid Warc.
CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 10.-Six persons
in this city were prostrated by the heat
yesterday, and one died few minutes after
being sunstruck. Though the tempera-
ture was not excessive for August, the
humidity in the atmosphere made the day
almost unbearable. The mercury did not
reach higher than 81 deg, while on the
previous day the thermometer had regis
tered 81 deg.
William Monroe, roofer, who was pros
trated while at work, is the man who was
killed.
The injured are: John II. Gass, horse
dealer; George Highney, IL years old !;
Michael Kane, William Nulty and August
Schumacher. The injured will probably
all recover.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 10.-Since
the arrest of Herman L. Mueller on July
II upon warrant charging him with the
embezzlement of $4,000 from the Joseph
Schlitz Brewing Company, while acting as
their agent in Kansas City, the books of
the company's Offices have been under
going examination by L. H. Maumain, an
expert accountant. The books were found
in a hopeless muddle. 1t is doubtful if any
accurate information as to the total
amount of the embezzlement could be
learned had not Mueller left other evil
dence of his embezzement in the shape of
old checks, stub-books and his private
handbook in his desk when he disaD-
peared to evade arrest. With the assist
ance of the latter evidence Auditor Maui
schot has been able to place the shortage
at about $1,000. 1t is likely that the total
amount appropriated by Mueller will ex-
ceed that figure.
