the motorman was horror stricken at
seeing a baby carriage roll to the mid
die OF the street.-the was too excited TO no.
tice whether the carriage contained a
child or not. but at once set the break
and reversed the power, and succeeded
in bringing his car to a standstill within
a few feet of the child which had been
thrown to the ground by the overturning
OF the carriage The 'motorman and 9TH
ers picked the child up and placed II in
the carriage and then put the carriage
on the side walk and made the wheels
fast and during all of this time no one,
who appeared to be a relative OF the
child was seen. The baby carriage and its
contents was wheeled away few mo-
ments later by girl perhaps nine years
old. who had been in the house of a
playmate, and was unconscious OF the
fact that her baby brother had so mar
rowly escaped being killed.

Charles w. Fullerton, the Chicago mil

who would stop at no expense 10 defeat
those who he thought were trying TO inn
pose on or cheat him.

ing "a private water-wOrks on his High
land Park estate because the town au-
thorities overcharged him 81 on his water
bill
The summer home OF the Fullertons at
Highland Park is one of the handsomest
of the neighborhood. The grounds con-
tain many acres along the Sheridan drive
ana il was the hobby OF Mr. Fullerton
TO raise flowers and vegetables.
To carry on this extensive garden
ing much water was necessary. Mr.. Ful-
lerton had veritable network OF pipes
with vents running a few inches below
the surface throughout the garden, so
that the garden was never dry, and
plants and vegetables grew like magic.
AN ovERCHARGE DID 1T.
Water charges were naturally large.
but they were paid without murmur
until Mr. Fullerton became convinced that
he had been overtaAed 81 on a certain
bill
lie protested TO the town authorities
aud some thing was said about shutting
of his water II he ala not pay up. lhat

Independently OF an unreasonable town
board, and he did. regardless ol lne cost.
Residents OF Highland Park were as
founded one day TO see preparations Tor

the lake shore. A large water main was
laid far out into the lake, ana "a high
tower erected little distance back from
the bluff.

of the estate. A dynamo was installed
In the water tower 10 furnish power TO

and club rooms, and the tower was given
as ornamental an appearance as possible.
Then an engineer was installed, and the
town authorities were notified To discon-
meet their water mains from the Fuller
ton property.
HAVE RUN FOUR YEARS.
For four years these private works have
supplied abundant water to the Fullerton
gardens.
True, the interest on the money in
vested In the system amounted to more
each year than the water bills had in
former years, 10 say nothing of the salary
of the engineer. cost OF fuel, and other
expenses. but Mr.. Fullerton had carried
his point and he was willing TO pay for IL.
He had deprived the town OF an illegi-
innate revenue and had shown the town
authorities that he could not be trihed
with. and that was worth S25 000--to him.
The tower has been carefully guarded
from the public. The grounds are all
shut off from the trespassers. and the
tower is far enough back from the bluff
TO be inaccessible.
But II can be seen from the Sheridan
drive, and is often the object OF comment.
The story Of why II was built. how
ever. is known only 10 the people of High
land Park and tho FullertonS them selves,
for II was not published during the life

OF the discussion on the question was
quite favorable to a reopening OF reia-
tions with the Quaker City team; Now
that the Tigers and Harvard nave
