Gaping from the kitchen stove. Being

He Scattered Blood.

EARLY yesterday morning the atten-
tion of a number of people was at
tracted by pools and spots of blood
along Front, Putnam and Second
streets and in and about the Union De-
pot. Everyone seemed to be at loss
to explain where SO much of the vital
fluid came from and there was consid-
erable speculation in the minds of
many as to its source. From the
amount of blood spilled, it seemed, as
though 1t came from some one serious
ly injured, but who the party was ap-
parently could not be solved.
From person who knew the story
we learned the following last evening:
Theodore Sayre,a well known char
acter, whose home is at Constitution,
but who spends most of his time in
this city, acidentallyc fell in the alley
near the Union Block, lighting on his
nose, which began to bleed profusely
He got up and wandered about over
the district mentioned above, scatter
ing blood at every step. The flow was
finally stopped by his placing a wad OF
paper in his nose. Very few people
saw him as he wandered along on his
bloody course.
