JUMPED FOR THEIR LIVES
Inmates of a Building at Chicago
Were in Peril.

Chicago, Nov. 30-Frightened by
the cries of fire and choked by the vol
ume of smoke pouring into the rooms,
four persons jumped from the windows
in the third story Of a burning build
ing at III Twenty-first street and
barely escaped with their lives, Two
of the three women who leaped to the
ground owe their rescue from death or
injury to the bravery Of Pony
Moore, saloonkeeper at 2107 Dear
born court, who caught them in his
AIMS and dropped them in the street
unfnjured. H. T. Baker and Susie
Kaiser sustained serious fractures by
the fall. Other occupants of the
building, all of whom We're women
were sleeping in the rooms on the
lower floors, and succeeded in getting
through the smoke that enveloped the
stairway and esoared to the street un-
harmed. The loss is $500. The
building is owned by Mrs. Mary Full
Ter of Milwaukee.
