VitriOI Thrower, Made of Straw.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Chief of Police Minnerly, of North
Chief Of Police Minnerly, Of North
Tarrytown, has unearthed a mystery
that has kept the residents Of that
village in terror for the past week.
A woman dressed in deep black, with
her face covered, has been seen at diff
ferent times during the week very
late at night on the different thorough
fares. She was supposed to be a Wit
riol thrower. One night she was seen
coming from the Sleepy Hollow Gene
terry, but the climax came last night.
Chief Minnerly was sitting behind the
desk at police headquarters, when Paul
Birdsall and friend came running in

mysterious woman had been diseov-

yard.
When the chief arrived on the scene

standing around, and not one Of them
dared to venture near the woman. The
chief looked in the yard, and, sure
enough, on a woodpile was seated a
woman in black. He took an extra
grip ON his club and marched forward.
Walking up to the woman, he took
Somethink parted. The arm separated
from the body. Then the mystery be-
gan to clear. It was not a woman but
a stuffed figure. The figure was taken
from it's place on the woodpile, and an
investigation made. 1t is believed by
