TWELVE LIVES
Saved by Members of Chicago's Police
Force

EOICC
CHICAGO, March 15.--To the heroism
of Chicago policemen twelve persons owe
the fact that they are alive today. Seven
of them were rescued from a burning
building at the rear of 265 West Twelfth
street at midnight last night, and about
the same hour five were carried from a
burning cottage at the rear of $50 Liber-
ty street. In the latter case a mother
and her four small children were uncon-
scious from smoke.
officers Buckley, Hall and Fitzgerald
of the Maxwell-street Station, broke in
the door of the Liberty street cottage
and found Mrs. Louise Oder and her four
little ones overcome by the flames. The
woman was taken to the hospital, where
she recovered consciousness, but could
not be pacified until her children were
shown to her, alive and sound. The fire
caused but slight damage, despite the
dense smoke which resulted.
officers Alden and Fay, of the Max
well-street Station, saw the flames is
suing from Benjamin Spiro's confection-
cry stand, at 263 West Twelfth street,
and they rang an alarm, and when they
returned the flames had spread to r.
Ishams jewelry store, at 265. The Off
GERS broke down the door of the jewelry
store and, running to the apartments
they knew the family were sleeping in,
aroused Isham and his wife.
Each officer seized two of the little
children and carried them to the fresh
air, where they We're revived. Isham
staggered around in a dazed condition
and was showed forward by the officers
so that he found his way to the street.
Officer Alden seized Mrs. Isham and car
ried her in a semi-conscious condition
from the store and was followed by Fay
and Schmidt with the two remaining
children. The damage by the fire was
trifling.

TO PREVENT MURDER
Hot Times at Weddings "Along the
Tracks

When the police captains of the West
Chicago avenue district hear of weddings
along "the tracks"-whch are those On
Kinzie street-they usually send two po-
llcemen, two of the steadiest in the sta
ton, to prevent murder. 1t is considered
impossible that they should prevent blood
shed more than half the time, but they are
expected to do their best. Some of the peo-
pie down in that neighborhood have
been known to drop men out of third-story
windows in the excitement of a lively we'd
ding row.
On the night when officer Muiken dis
tinguished himself it happened that news
of the wedding came too late. and he was
told off singly TO the task of overseeing
il. He was new man. and the lieutenant
who gave the order did it with sinking
heart. Muken was the only man avail
able, as orders from downtown had sent
twenty of the stations men to masque-
rades and parties and weddings in other
sections of the precinct.
Mulken thought a wedding was peace
full affair and that it would be best for him
to leave his club in the patrol box. He
was very new. as has been said. He went
to the wedding, and all went very smoothly
until after the supper. Then someone
said someone else was something he should
not be-and the mix-up began. Very
shortly it was of not the slightest import
ance what the trouble was about. The
affair had reached the razor stage when
Mulken entered the ROOM He ran up TO
the crowd of fighters. and this is what he
said:
Hold on there hold on: wait until I get
my baton
Then he rushed to the patrol box.
They held on and when the ambulance
came four of them were ready for it.-Chi-
cago Chronicle.

A Case of Trilby Madness

One of the most tragically interesting
mysteries ever yet recorded in the annals
of the drama or of medicine holds the So
ciety of Budapest, and, indeed, one may
add, the population of all Hungary, 2pell-
bound. Briefly described, it is a case of
mania which befeli respectable young
Hungarian girl during the representation
OF "Trilby." The mystery lies in the de-
tails, which we take from the Hungarian
papers. They are as follows: Risa Far
kas is a girl Of 16. the daughter of a house
agent who has always enjoyed the best
of good health. Her parents lately al
lowed her to visit an establishment where
young ladies are taught dress making for
their own private use and benefit. On the
way to the school Risa made the acquaint-
ance of a young medical student, who ac-
companied her home twice every day.
Once he induced her to pay a visit to the
theater to see "Trilby' played. and the
effect upon her was to deprive her of her
reason. She now fancies herself Trilby.
and walks about the house barefoot, just
like the heroine of the play. entreats her
father and mother to provide her with
flowers, which she kisses and tears in
pieces. asks for red shoes. four-leaved
shamrocks, and generally conducts herself
in an eXtravagant manner.
The two physicians who first saw her
declared that she was hypnotized a third
| had to give up visiting her because she
declared that she could not endure his
look. and quaked with fear whenever he
appeared. The sight of her little sister
Elsa, whom she used to adore, brings on
paroxysms of frenzy, after which she re-
mains for hours gazing vacantly into space
or talking to herself.
DR.. Schaffer of the Budapest university
states that the girl is suffering from de-
lirium, in consequence, he thinks, of the
shock which her nervous system received
from "Triby." The girl can occasionally
speak reasonably, but only If the person
addressing her calls her by name and
places finger on her cheek. The physi-
clans have hopes of effecting a cure.-LOn-

SOLLY WAS DRUNK
The Lightweight Fugilist Stabs His
Friend

Curtin, better known as Spider Kelly,
was seriously, but not fatally, stabbed
last night by Solly Smith. the pugilist,
who was intoxicated. The affair took
place in Kelly's saloon and was the
elimination of a row in which Kelly
had violently abused Smith, who struck
with knife at Kelly's throat, but the
Spider" threw up his shoulder. The
knife cut deep into the feshy part of the
body, just back of the armpt, but the
movement saved Kelly's life. The wound
is deep. but the injured man will recover

WASHINGTON. March 15.-Dennis ]
Canty. formerly clerk to the Interstate
Commerce Commission and later part
ner with Herman Van Sender, Private
Secretary for Secretary Carlisle in the
late administration. in the stock and
grain brokerage business, today shot
and killed George s. Rye, speculator
whose home is in the West, in front
of the Ebbitt House on F street near
Fourteenth. 1t is assumed that the kill
ing grew out of some stock transactions
and perhaps may have been caused by
the failure five months ago Of Canty &
Van Senden.
The firm was not member of the Stock
Exchange but did a considerable busi-
ness among the smaller class of specula-

A K1ondike Rival

SAN FRANCISCO, March 15.-A ledge
of goldbearing quartz has been found
by men engaged in grading Seventeenth
street in this city. The street is being
cut through a bluff varying from forty
to fifty-five feet in height and about 400
feet long. Three years ago tunnel was

gold, was uncovered by blast.

Will Not Go to Whittier

Maggie Kuhl, the 12-year-old girl who
stole three teams Monday afternoon and
enjoyed herself driving about the city, is
something of a white elephant to her
father and step-mother. They do not
know what to do with her and were al
most on the point of sending her to
Whittier yesterday, but decided, on the
advice of Capt. Roberts and Matron Gray
to wait. Both of these officials think that
if the child can be taken away from her
step-mother and placed in some good home
she will not continue so rebelious. The
child related a story of mistreatment on
tho part of her step-mother, and it was
thought best that she be found home.
She is now al the police station in charge
Of MatrcE Gray and will probably be sent
to a nom3 today.
