ATTACKED BY A MANIAC,
Very Narrow Escape of Mtnneapo-
lis Physicfan

DR.. s. NJ Moulton had rough and tumble
fight with raving maniac early last even
ing at the New Columbia hotel, lib Washing
ton avenue south. Although he emerged from
which he is not likely to forget for some
time, and which might have resulted far
more seriously for him.
He was summoned to the hotel to attend
man who was said to be very sick and suffer
ing great pain. The mans name Is Nick
Kulmes, and he has been employed for some
time as porter at the hotel. He Is known
among his familiars as Jumbo and is q son
Of DR.. Bertha Shepard. From Kulmes ap-
pearance DR.. Moulton supposed him to be
suffering great pain, and attempted to ad-
minister chloroform and thus ease his suf-
fering. Kulmes did not take kindly to the
treatment, and sprang upon the doctor with
the fury of a wild animal. He is a powerful
man, and, although the doctor made a good
stand, he could not begin to hold his own.
and went down before the furious onslaught.
The mailman pinioned the doctors arms to
the floor and glared at him, frothing at the
mouth. There were half-a-dozen men in the
room at the time, and they all made their
escape. leaving the doctor to his fate. Kul-
mes snapped at the doctor and bit him In
number of places on the arms, all the while
snarling like dog. Fearful that hydrophobia
would result If the man bit him through the
skin, the doctor made superhuman effort
and got his foot under Kulmes' chin Then
he kicked, and the half-choked man fell off
on the floor. The doctor got out of the room
as soon as possible, locked it and sent in a
call for police. A squad of six policemen
soon made their appearance, and when they
opened the door of the room found that
Kulmes had amused himself by battering
down the bed with his head after the fash
ion of goat. The bed was literally broken to
pieces. and the mans head was bleeding from
a number of self-inflicted cuts.
1t took six policemen twenty minutes TO
bind the man hand and foot and stow him
away into the central patrol wagon and in
the meantime all breakable furniture in the
room had been demolished. He was taken to
the county Jail and placed in a padded cell.
DR.. Moulton thinks that Kulmes is only tenn
porarily insane.

'sufferings at l D. m.
When the accident occurred the boy was
On the second floor Of the building unloading

Judge Belden filed his decision yesterday

double liability against the stockholders of

against all stockholders. The capital stock
of the bank was originally 100000, which
was subsequently raised to $125, 600. The
stockholders claimed that the S25 coo was not
legally issued. In the order the court holds
that it was. The stockholders claimed furth-
Pr that they were subject only to a single
liability and not double liability. The court

CINCINNATI, Feb. 11.-Not a step

solution OF the Fort Thomas Pearl Bry-

taken in search of the missing links

knife cuts made on the girls hands
while struggling for life with her MUIR
derers and the pool of blood where she
lay sets at rest the story that she was
first killed by anaesthetics and then be-
headed. The story in an evening pa
per that two colored girls saw three

probed by the police and found worth
less. Not trace of the head has been
found.
