"You can't teach an old dog new tricks"
said Sam at police station No. last night
when he, entered and reported to Desk
Sergt. Eberly that one OF the old police
horses, wbieh. had been sold from the service
two or three years ago, had broken away
from its owner, had ceme back TO the
station. pushed open the gates at the alley
entrance, and when discovered had backed
under The shafts, Of the patrol wagon, and
was standing there waiting for the alarm
to sound and the harness to be snapped on
him.
This was bit of Interesting information,
out of the station routine, and attracted
Considerable notice from the men who were
either. on. duty or.were lettering there.
Everybody in the station left Ills post and
went to take O. fond look at the old horse.
1t was a stalwart sOrrel with white stock
iugs and blazed face, and had been known
in the service of the department as Bill.
1T was said that Bill, before he had
been assigned to duty as a patrol horse,
had dcpe duty in fire engine. Certain
it is though, that Old Bill used once to
pull the patrol wagon OF the First precinct
around the streets of the city at a lively
pace. He was always proud OF his oecu-
patton. but once he fell and struck lame.
He grew feeble and was sold by the dep art
ment. Under careful treatment by his
now employer, Mr.. Finley, he gained
strength. He waxed fat and hearty and
served with his ne W master for two years.
Last Wednesday night he took It into
his red Head toa revisit his old stamping
grounds, and his keeper, having left the
door of his own stable unbarred. he made
his way into the street and brissly trotted
around to twelfth street, turned into C.
passed round through the alley which he
used to know so wei! and which 1t seems he
lad not forgotten and entering the gales
ef the precinct stable yard. he went to the
shed where the patrol stands and wheeling
round, placed himself in position to be
htched up.
1t was nearly midnight when Sam
heard the trampling of hoofs in the brick
paved yard. and thinking that one Of the
regular horses of the station was making
his escape. found old Bill. II is even
said by the police that Bill recognized all
the old timers at the station. Be that
as it may, II .is auite certain that all the
old timers knew Bill.

He had fired them himself from 22-

This is the story of the tragedy:
Early last Sunday morning young
man apparently about 25 years old, neat
ly dressed, smooth shaven, and of good
appearance appeared at the Office of the
Preble, registered as
JOHN VOsE, NEW YORK,
and was assigned to room 40.
He remained in this room till Monday,
when the fire which caught in that room,
forced his removal to room 80, which is
corner room, next the Longfellow
house, on th second floor.
He had been at the house some days,
hau no baggage of any sort and made no
payments of any kind. He was very quiet
and kept in his room all the time, when
not out of doors.
Last evening the proprietor, Mr.. White,
thought it was about time for something
to be paid, as he had no baggage, and
the clerk was instructed to notify Vose
to that effect when he came from supper
When Vose finished his supper instead
of going out through the Offices he went
through the ladies' entrance and up to
his room that way.
The door of this room had been locked
while he was at supper, by the hotel peo-
pie, and Vose

that Mr.. White wished to speak with
him at the Office, and Vose started to

side the door he suddenly turned back,
saying to the boy: 'sI've forgotten some
thing. I'll be down in moment" and
the boy continued to the Office.
Some ten minutes elasped and

The Marriage OF wiliiam Uilemeyoe $50
Miss Edith Bushee 1t Aurora. =
The Aurora Evening Post dwells
extendedly on the marriage. of Will
liam Ullemeyer, of this city, and
Miss Edith Daisie Bushee. celebrated
there Wednesday, as chronicled in
The ARGUS, and classes it among
Aurora's leading nuptial events, ca
pecially for its impressivencss and
beauty. After detailing the coca
sion, the paper pays = fiattering
tribute to the young couple.
In conclusion the Post says:
1.-The groom is well known here,
having previously acted as prescrip-
ton clerk for H. P. Grimm until
about there years ago, when he re-
signed, much to the regret of his
friends here, to engage in the drug
business at Rock Island in partner
ship with Mr.. Hartz, of that city.
He is young man of sterling worth
and enjoys the distinction of being
quite musician. The bride is too
well known to warrant any praise
that We might be able to give her.
but none too much can be bestowed
on her. She is accomplished in
many ways. principally in the mn-
steal line, and has entertained Au-
rora audiences on many occasions,
her sweet contralto voice is familiar
to all. and she gained much fame by
travelling couple of years with one
of the leading concert companies of
the country. Mrs. Ullemeyer will
be greatly missed in Aurora society
circles. where she has figured prom
inently the past few years. aud es-
pecially will she be missed by must
clans. and even more by her Sunday
school class. to whom she had be-
come so greatly attached.
"The Post unites with many
friends in wishing the newly welded
pair every joy that may be obtained
in this life, as they are deserving.

presents was q diamond breastpin
