MR.. NORTON PERSISTS.
Intends to Know Beyond Doubt
What Caused His Sons Death.

NJ. j. Norton, the hotelkeeper at III
Wyoming avenue, whose son, John,
died suddenly about two weeks ago
at Los Angeles, Cal, is taking fan
ther steps to ascertain the exact cause
of the young mans death. Telegram
after telegram and letters, too, have
been forwarded to California 70 the
Los Angeles county authorities and
yet nothing beyond the information
that he died of congestion of the lungs
and heart failure, as stated N the
death certificate, was obtained.
Mr.. Norton thinks that something
is being concealed from him and is
going to know all about 1t if possible.
District Attorney Jones has been re-
tanned and is in communication witA
an attorney at Los Angeles. AttOr-
ney Soper, of this city, is still busy
preparing for the suit to be brought
by Mr.. Norton against the Wells Fargo
company, who shipped the remains
here. The company is charged with
breach of contract. Their agent here
will in all probability be prosecuted
for false pretenses in securing money
for the shipping, etc. expenses.

YOUTHFUL REFoRMERs.
New Arrivals Were Just Bit too
Nice for the 7. o. 7. A. Gang.

In the select neighborhood of public
school No. 50 a gang exists. 1t is not or
ganized for marauding or worse crime,
but simply for mutual protection aud
admiration. The lads who comprise
the gang, known as the r. O. T. AS,
CTouch One Touch AID, are
not over fifteen years of age and
as young as ten years. Into this neigh
borhood recently moved Henry Preus-
ner and family, taking a residence on
Vine street. Two sons, Otto and Har-
ry Jr., nice appearing, genteel lads, be-
gan to attend school No. So.
They did not mix up with the mem-
bers Of the society" and trouble be-
gan to brew. Objections We're made
to their style of carrying themselves,
even Otto's eyeglasses were tabooe1.
Yesterday four of the lads, William
Costello, John McCracken, Matt Co2r
and j. Murphy, were arrested, charged
with assault and battery. A hearing
was given them by Alderman Howe
and Attorney Reedy appeared for the
defendants. Mr. Preusner, as prosecI-
tor, appeared for his sons. The de-
PENDANTS were held in $500 bail each
as a sort of a mild corrective to their
belligerency. Their attorney qualified
for them.

INSPECTING THE KENNELS.
Frankfurter Wagons Were Visited
by Mr.. Cullen.

Food Inspector u. NJ. Cullen yes
terday made an unannounced visit
to the frankfurter wagons for the pur-
pose of ascertaInng for himself what
kind of fodder is being served up at
these places
Except in few instances there was
little to complain Of. In one wagon
the proprietor was cautioned about
the cleanliness OF the waiter and in
another attention was called to the
drtiness of the water in which the
dishes were washed All of them
were warned against serving up any
thing that even verged on being Ur-
wholesome and advised to furnish bet
ter coffee or run the risk Of having
their supply confiscated.
1t is expected that the Inspectors
visit will have a good effect. If his
warnings are not needed the frank
furter men wln Ind to their sorrow
that Mr.. Cullen is a man who says
little, but does a good deal.

BOYS GALLANT FIGHT.
Captured Wounded Eagle in the
Brisbin Woods Recently.

Anthony Buchta, a young lad whose
home is in Park Place, had an exciting
experience with a crested eagle while
hunting recently in the Brisbin woods.
He shot and wounded the bird, and,
when he tried to capture it, had to
fight
His right arm was lacerated by the
birds talons, but he held on and
brought it home as a trophy of his
prowess. His friends have seen and
admired the bird. Its wings measure,
when spread, forty-two inches from tip
to tip. What brought this rare species
of the eagle family to this neighbor-
hood is mystery

much interest by students Of naval at-

master such mass of details they have
scant time for considering the larger
