the description: "A big wheel is fastened
to the side of the building. Around the
wheel is wound a coil of strong rope
the end of which hangs near window
or door made for the purpose. To use
the contrivance all one has to do is to
grasp the rope and drop to the ground.
A spring connected with the wheel
checks the speed of descent SO that
there is no shock experienced when the
ground is reached. a wire running from
the wheel to the ground can beoperated
so as to regulate the return of the
rope's end to any height"

DAMAGING EVIDENCE
Against Lustsert BY Frank Odoreisky. Another
Sausage Factory Employee.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-The cross -examina
tion of Bialk, which had taken all the
forenoon, was concluded shortly after
the afternoon session began. Frank
Odorofsky was then called as a wit
ness. He was an employee of Luetgert
and his duties were around the vats.
Odorofsky said he broke UP the caus-
tic potash and under Luetgert's direc-
tions put it in the middle vat. The
witness then told what he saw in the
basement. Monday morning, May 3.
Beside the middle vat was a mass Of
reddish brown stuff which had over
flowed from the vat and had been car
ried part of the way toward the sewer
opening in the floor. The stuff had an
offensive smell, the witness said, and
was Shiny and greasy.
Near the vat We're three doors which
had been taken from the smoke house
nearby Two Of these doors were
smeared with the same substance as
though they had been on top of the vat
and the contents of the vat had boiled
up against the doors. He said he took
a quantity of the stuff on a shovel ana
examined it carefully. In it he could
see small pieces of bone and what ap-
peared to be particles of flesh.
Odorofsky said Luetgert ordered him to
remove the stuff from the floor and vat
which he did, and the sausage maker
then told him to take it out into the yard
and scatter ii all over the yard II took
1t out into the yard. said the witness.
but | did not scatter it around Instead
dumped it in one place and put some
dirt over it,
The witness said that after the police
began their investigation of the case he
showed them where he had placed the
material from the vat and they took part
Of it away, Odorofsky said the fuel used
in the smoke house furnace was sawdust
and the furnace was cleaned out Thurs
day, before the first of May. Luetgert
then directed that Il new supply of saw
dust be placed in the furnace and this
was done.
When court adjourned for the day
Odorofsky was still on the witness stand
and his testimony will be concluded to-
morrow.

Don't give them tea or coffee. Have you

Il is delicious and nourishing and takes
the place of coffee. The more Grain-O
you give the children the more health
you distribute through their systems
Grain-O is made of pure grains, and
when properly prepared tastes like the

CAME BUT DID
NOT CONQUER
One Bennett, a Former Real
Estate Man, Badly
Thrashed.
Captain John F. Wichmann Was
on His Muscle and Made
Use of 1t.
As Usual, Woman at the Bottom
of the Affair Wichmann's
Coat Gut.

Mr.. Bennett came to conquer, and he
might have done it il he had not run up
against the wrong man, but that is just
where the trouble came in. AS result
one of the liveliest knock down and-dra
out fights that has been seen i'll this City
for some time took place last Monday
evening between Captain John +. Wich-
mann. keeper OF a grocery out near the
panhandle of the park, and Mr.. Bennett,
who used to be engaged in the real estate
business here.
.Wichmann is the man who was captain
of the yacht in which the daughter of j.
B. Haggin, the turfman, took a tour
around the world. He is also man OF
muscle, and when he went into the
grocery business abo ut three years ago he
did so with the avowed intention of
letting no man dictate to him on the land,
for none had ever managed to do so on the
briny deep.
Bennett was arrested in 1892 on COM
plant sworn to by Mrs. Josephine E. Hop
kins, widow of the late o. K. Hopkins,
charging him with defraud ing her while
acting as her agent in the purchase OF
some property south of the park. He de-
Tended himself ON the ground that the
property lost i'll value because some street
railways which were to be run near the
land were not built, and was acquitted.
He then left here and we mt to Arizona
and in his absence his wife procured a
divorce. She then began 10 keep company
with Captain Wichmann, and continued
to do SO. Bennett returned a few days
ago and when he learned the "lay of the
land' determined that he would have re-
venge. So he went out to see the aptain
with blood in his eye. He was carr led
out with blood not only in his eye, but
bedewing his face and his clothes as well.
The probability is that he will be con-
fined 10 hi. bed for some time TO come.
According to the tale told by one of the
witnesses, Bennett went TO the store in a
buggy with two women and another man.
Going in he proce eded to pick quarrel
and strike the captain. The latter leaned
over the counter and knocked.,hi assailant
down, after which he proceeded TO kick
him black and blue. Wlchmann was cut
in the lip from the first blow, and his
coat has slit that looks as if it was done
with knife.
He did not let up on the unfortunate
would-5e Cesar until the screams of the
ladies threatened to arouse the height bor-
mood, and then he dragged him out of the
store and threw him into the two-seated
carriage in waiting. The company drove
rapidly away.
Bennett is probably in bed nursing his
numerous bruises. Wichmann, little the
worse off for the encounter, still keeps
possession of the fair one that caused the

SIGMUND L BRAVERMAN the Diamond Broker Whose Deadly
AimLaid Antoine Burg1e His Death Bed.

Braverman, the well-known diamond mer-
chant at 12l Post street, yesterday Antoine
Burgle, restanrant-keeper, lies now at
the Receiving Hospital filled with lead.
BurgIe was shot four times, but the broker
suffered only a confused wound OF the
shoulder and five confused and lacerated
wounds of the scalp, though he was shot
at five times at close range. He is now at
the house of his mother, 1908 Sutter street
The story of the tragic episode is long
one, and one that seems to be founded en-
tirely on a mistaken notion in the mind
of the restaurateur. 1t was revenge that
prompted him TO do the shooting, and it
was only in self-defense that Braverman
fired the shots.
In 1895, Burgle, who is a German. had a
restaurant on Clay street, near Kearny.
