MRS. LUETGERT FOUND.
This Time she is in pavenport. low

This Time She is in Davenport, Iowa.
Chicago, Oct. 26.-''Within the past "a
hours we have received information that
may make another trial of Luetgert un-
necessary said Attorney Albert Phalen
today. Il will not reveal the name of
my informant nor the location of the city
in which he lives at present, but it is
within 300 miles of Chicago and the man
is an ex-official of the place. He is
positive that he has seen Mrs. Luetgert
within few days. The information, to-
gether with his Identified tion, is startling
in it's directness. But we have been
startled so many times by similar re-
ports only to be eventually disappointed
that 1 will not believe the report until
see the woman he says is Mrs. Luetgert.
We are investigating the story of this in
formant."
1t is believed that the information
comes from Davenport, Ia, 1S5 miles west
of Chicago. Soon after Mrs. Luetgert's
disappearance a report reached Chicago
that she was seen in Davenport and also
in Rock Island, across the river from
Davenport, but investigation proved the
report untrue.

A DIME IN HER TEETH.
Remarkable Scene on a West
Tenth Street Car.

A well dressed woman stepped aboard
West Tenth street car a few days ago
and settled herself comfortably III the
farthest corner. The car was well filed
with people, and the conductor soon be-
gan to collect the fares AS he stepped
in the door he noticed the lady take a
dime out of the corner of her handker-
chief in anticipation of the payment of
her fare.
The conductor finally reached her
and held out his hand for her fare The
lady made a sort of upward motion
with her head and suddenly grew red in
the face. The conductor waited a min
ute, and then said:
Your fare, please"
The woman said: Il haven't got it,
Then you'u have to walk said the
"knightIy' conductor.
But it is too far
Didn't you have the money when
you got on the carp"
Yes answered the woman
Did you drop it?''
No
By this time the attention of all the
passengers on the car was directed to-
ward the conductor and the bewildered
passenger. The woman was becoming
quite nervous and would occasionally
make a queer motion and suddenly look
around to see if anyone was looking.
The conductor was about to reach for
the bell rope and stop the car for her to
get olI' WheH She summoned All ner
courage and made a frantic effort to
get her hand in her mouth.
Have you swallowed it?" asked the
conductor.
No" was the choking answer. The
woman made one more frantic effort TO
get her hand in her mouth and then she
suddenly removed the upper plate of a
set of false teeth and took the missing
dime from beneath the two back
grinders. During the rest of the trip she
looked straight ahead. She does not
use her mouth for a pocketbooi any
