STRANGE BEDFELLoWs
A Jap and Chinese Cause Considera
BILE Amusement

Politics Is not the only thing that makes
strange bedfellows, for salvation appa-
rently has the same effect. speaking meta
phorically. An amusing evidence of this
fact was shown last evening about 9:3(
o'clock. After the evening services of q
Salvation army corps had been concluded
the various sisters and brothers went out
into the wicked world to HE themselves ia
their respective abodes. A quartet, con.
sisting of two white women. a japanese
and Chinese, paired off and sauntered up
First street toward Main. From their ac-
lions 1t evidently was their first essay as
beaux 10 American girls, and they let the
hundreds of people know how good they
felt over II.
They were as playful as the Kilkenny
cats before they were thrown over the
clothes line. The Jap. despite his red
sweater and Salvation army insignia
would shove John ChInaman into the gut
ter, while John would cavort around like a
young colt In a ten-acre patch of new
mown hay on the Wabash. The Salvation
girls giggled with enjoyment over the an
tics of the Jap and the Chinaman. John
and the Jap alternated showing each other
into the gutter, to the edificationlof their
companions and incidentally, though I'M
consciously gave object lessons on how
easy 1t Is to fall into the gutter and then
crawl out again, especially when encour-
aged in the latter by Salvation lasses.
Crowds stopped to watch the mirth of the
two Mongolians. natural enemies while in
Asia but rendered as loving as Quakers
through American salvation. The pair
furnished amusement for several blocks
until they finally disappeared at the corner
of Hill and First streets.

A REMARKABLE WOUND
Autopsy on Mrs. Timm Developed a
Strange Fact

Henry Timm, who Is lying at the point OF
death at the county hospital from self
inflicted wound, was charged with the MUIR
der Of his ex-wife by the coroner's jury
yesterday. The autopsy and inquest were
held on her remains at Bresee Brothers
and the autopsy disclosed one of the mos.
remarkable wounds that has ever come to
the notice Of local medical men. The spinal
cord of the woman had been shattered We;
she lived for forty-eight hours after the in
jury.
The autopsy was performed by Drs. Ralph
Hagan and Hagadorn. The bullet entered
the left side of the neck, about two inches
below the ear, ranged down, then up. and
entered the spinal column between the
fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae. almost
scvering the spinal cord. Ii then ranged
down and passed out through the seventh
vertebrate, and finally lodged against the
spinal column below the seventh vertebrate
The spinal cord was hanging by few
strands and this, taking into consideration
that the woman never lost consciousness
and was only partially paralyzed in the
lower limbs, Is regarded as marvellous by
the physicians.
At the inquest Julia. the T-year-old
daughter of the woman, testified 10 the
facts of the meeting between her father
and mother. all three going into the Main
street saloon where the tragedy occurred.
Mrs. ]. Fisher testified that the deceased
so far as the witness knew, had merely ia
ken the name Of Mrs. Meyers in order to
elude Timm. The physicians testified re-
garding the condition Of the woman when
they saw her shortly after the shooting
and also told of the results of the autopsy
The jury returned verdict that the woman
had come TO her death from the effects OF

band. Henry Timm. with intent to commit
