Chicago Reformer NAY Attach Board
of Trade Property.


CHICAGO. Jan. Edward Doyle,
whom his lawyer describes as a reformer,
philanthropist and philosopher. has in
stituted suit against John Robson, a
board of trade operator, for $4,000 dam
ages. Under the criminal code of Illinois
losses by put and call operations on the
Board of Trade may be recovered by the
loser or any one else to the amount of
three times the original loss Losses of
s10O, 900 each alleged TO have been sus-
tanned by persons named in the suit were
not recovered by the losers, and Doyle
accordingly sues for three times the loss.
The law Of Illinois also provides that
judgments on the amount recovered may
be made a lien on the property in which
the gambling transactions took place,
providing the owners of the property
sanctioned 1t. Doyle's attorneys say he
will attach at once the Board of Trade
property in case his suit is successful.

Robert Rice, the cowboy preacher.
When locked up first Rice was too
drunk to give his name and SO Taller
Elsfelder booked him as John Doe. Dur
ing the early part of the evening Friday
Rice wasreleased from custody and told
to depart for other fields. He repaired
at once to resorts where forty-rod whis-
Ky is dispensed, and within an hous was
again in Jail on the same old charge Of
being drunk and disorderly. The
chameleon, however, is dead, and Rice
appears to be heartbroken over his loss.
In staggering from a saloon Rice fell
in such a way that the life was crushed
out of the animal. Rice said that he fed
the chameleon four drops Of water and
one fly each day. He remained in Jail
over Sunday in order to give him a
chance to sober up.
