WOMAN TAKES A BURGLAR
Mrs Henry Regan Leads Her Prisoner
to Patrol Box

Chicago, July 16.-If in future years
Joe Wagner is in a position to resume
his vocation of a burglar he will prob
ably change his tactics and ascertain
that the woman of the house instead of
the man is absent Wagner learned
yesterday that Henry Regan had left
the house and that Mrs. Regan was
alone. Then he entered and made up
a package of clothing and valuables
which he prepared to carry off. AS
Mrs. Regan was alone Wagner was un-
concerned for his safety and made con-
siderable noise. The next thing he re-
allied was the grasp of a pair of strong
arms about his neck and a determined
woman's eyes looking into his.
Drop that bundle" said Mrs. Regan,
cor I'll throw you down stairs"
Wagner broke away, fed down the
steps, four at a time and reached the
street not five feet ahead of Mrs. Regan.
Half a block further on he glanced over
his shoulder and saw his pursuer pois-
ing a brick with deliberate aim at his
head.
'I'n quit" shrieked Wagner and he
mildly accompanied his captOr to a
patrol box at Halstead and Van Buren
streets where he was delivered to po-

STRIKE is STILL ON.
Woodworkers' Troubles Not Relieved
by Departure of Leaders.

Oshkosh, Wis, July 16.-Messrs. Kidd
and Weber, the two labor leaders who
have conducted the Oshkosh woodwork
ers' strike, have left the city for a
time, hoping that settlement will be
effected during their absence.
1t has been said by the millmen that
they will have nothing to do with the
leaders from the outside, and believing
that it is for the interests of all con-
cerned that the strike should be set
tied as soon as possible, they have ta-
ken their departure. Nothing has de-
velOped, however, since their determi-
nation to leave was carried into effect
and the situation is quite as severe as
at ever was.
The fact that one of the mills has
resumed operations did not have the
effect upon the millmen that was an
ticipated One of the firms was about
ready to make a settlement with the
men upon a basis that was favorabl to
both sides, but at the last moment some
thing occurred to break up the negOtia-
tions and the settlement that was so
near at hand was declared impossible
by the millmen.

LENIENCY FOR HELMS.
A Plan to Let the Ex-Deputy Sheriff
Off Easy.

An effort is being made to have the
case against Fletcher Helms, ex-deputy
sheriff dropped or greatly modified.
The plan is to have the case contin-
ued in justice court until the people
no longer think about it and then to
let Helms off with a light fine.
County Attorney JetmOre is in favor
of such an arrangement and if it is
done it will be with his consent. There
is one obstacle in the way and that is
Sheriff Cook. Cook has demanded
Helms prosecution from the first, and
his friends would regard it as a reflec-
ton upon him if he allowed Helms to
go with a light fine.
Helms bond was reduced over the
protest of Sheriff Cook
