stretched on beds of pain more than a
score Of officers and pipemen, who sought
to keep in check a seething furnace Of
oOO,OOO bushels of grain in the Chicago
Railway Terminal Elevator Company's
elevator at Indiana and Jefferson streets.
Not since the cold storage disaster at
the Worlds Fair have so many of the
city's fire fighters been laid low, and only
twice in the history of Chicago has the list
of casualties in the department been more
appalling. One unknown man dead and
many spectators, railroad employees, ele-
vator hands and others injured further
mark the record of the disaster.
The dead:
John J. Coogan, ppeman Of engine com

William Hanley, of engine company S.

Chief Swenie's life nearly paid the pen

was pitched on the heads of the fire fight

Bull Eight in Pennsylyanta.

William Seely finished his Sunday
chores and turned the cows out to
pasture and then went into the stall
where the young bull was chained up
to turn him out also. Unlocking the
chain, Seely started to drive the beast
out, but he was not i'm the humor for
going and turned upon the farm hand
with an angry below. Seely had
nothing with which to defend himself
and the bull had him at his mercy.
Penned in the narrow stall, the young
man was knocked down by a terrible
thrust of the bulls horns and trampled
upon and jammed against the partl-
ton. He cried wildly for help and
bravely fought for his life, but the
odds were SO greatly against him that
there was small hope for his escape.
In the narrow confines of the stall,
however, the maddened beast had little
room to move about, and this was the
farm hands advantage. His cries for
help finally brought his employer, and
with pitchfork he managed to divert
the animals attention sufficiently to
permit Seely to crawl out to safety.
Bleeding from a score of cuts and
bruises from the hoofs and horns, Seely
was hurried to the hospital. He will
recover-Philadelph Record.

A Grateful Catbfrd.

A woman in Minneapolis tells ca.
rious story Of bird life which shows o
phase of sociability in a wild birds
makeup. She has always fed the birds
in winter weather, and never allowed
them disturbed ON her premises. She
had a fine canary, which, in pleasant
weather, always had window froC-
which it hung. One day hearing STRANGE
bird voices she looked up from her seat
and saw catbird trying to induce the
canary to eat a worm it had broughu
for it. BY dint Of coaxing and feeding
the wild bird she finally induced 1t to-
come often to the window, and one
day, while sitting on the porch, the cat
bird brought berry for her and tried
to put it in her mouth.

brother-in-law Of wife No. 5, caused the
arrest of Bates, and there will be another
prosecution for bigamy. Bates career
has been remarkable. He is 3S years old,
out he looks younger, though his expe-
rience has been such as would turn any
other mans hair gray. He is a psychology
ical puzzle. He is a dull, uninteresting,
homely, thin-faced, angular specimen Of
humanity of the commonplace type. In
the slang Of the street he would be called
a lobster" Yet he induced at least five
women to marry him and has been in cor
respondence with score of others who
have expressed in their letters the warm
est affection for him. He kept three and
possibly four establishments in Chicago
at the same time, though he was only
getting $50 a month as night clerk for the
Union Stock Yards and Transit Com
pany. He fell heavily into debt. This
was the only matter that troubled him.
He had finally determined to get rid Of
all his wives by starting for Alaska on
the day he was arrested.

bins are hung big lanterns to guide the
workmen in their labors and the presence
of these has given rise to the theory that
a red hot chimney came in contact with
the dry dust and set the place on fire. The
age Of the building and the amount of
dust which had congregated in every
crack and corner supports the latter opln-
ion Many of the fremen are of the belief
that the blaze and subsequent explosion
were due to spontaneous combustion.
Insurance Inspector Gillian gave the
following statement as his opinion as to
how the fire originated: ut was surely an
explosion of dry dust. In the majority of.
cases in fires of this kind they all start
from the same cause. The dust from the
grain collects and when it is heated to the
right pointeit is like powder. 1t is just
as dangerous as any explosive. II this

List of Marital Marauders.

List of Marital Marauders.
With five known wives and possibly as
many more not yet discovered, with
sweethearts by the score loving by mail
and telegraph, David E. Bates, now lock-
ed up at the stock yards police station In
Chicago, has lived life of consummate
marital deceit and trickery which has
seldom been equaled. Bates has been
married five times surely, though the po-
lice believe they have information con-
corning another woman who claims to be
his wife. HE has confessed that he had
welded twelve times and should have
married as many more women" was the
startling statement Of pretty 19-year-old
Nettie Swain, his last bride.
Bates told the relatives of his first Chi
cago wife that he had had tn agreement
with wife No. to separate, and this made
his marriage to Miss Mccarthy legal.
They are going to prosecute him for big
