Chicago Doctor Manages to Escape
With sc. 600 in Cash. -

Chicago, Dec. A lone highway
man and DR.. l.. c.. zeigler. professor
OF osteopathy. with offices in McVick-
er's theater building. fought pistol
duel on the prairies west of Garfield
park for the possession of $4,000. One
bullet fattened itself against the doc
tors watch, just over his heaft. and a
second passed through his silk hat
and tore its way through the nine ST.
900 bills that were hidden therein in
an envelope. The professor believes
one of his bullets struck his assailant
in the hand and the police are search
ing for q wounded bandit.
Some weeks ago Professor Zeigler
advertised for 400 cadavers to be used
for the purposes of demonstration at
the schools of osteopathy in Illinois
and other states. He announced in his
public request for bodies that he was
willing to,spend $4,000 for the number
of cadavers he required and the police
believe it was the publication of these
figures that led up to the assault. The
police also believe the holdup to have
been the outcome of a conspiracy, one
of the phases of which was a conf
dence game whereby DR.. Zeigler was
entrapped into carrying $4,000 in cash
ON his person. -

Diplomatic Agent Dickinson's note has
just been made public by the Austro-
Hungarian foreign minister at Vienna
says the Vienna correspondent of The
World It was written by Mr.. Danieff
Bulgaria's minister of foreign affairs,
and contains the following words:
'.I am surprised that you have come
to the conclusion that the United
States will hold Bulgaria responsible
for Miss Stones death. ! must hold
it certain that the violence used by the
sbrigands cen be only accountable by
orr / protr acted negotiate ions.
"The Bulgarian government declines.
all responsibility"
In Vienna this answer is considered
most impudent and the hope is ex-
pressed that the United States will
hold Bulgaria responsible for Miss
Stones safety.

St Augustine Record: A half-witted
darkey, who had attracted considerable
attention on the streets by club
dangling from his hip pocket, will be
subjected to a medical examination, as
his mind seems to be affected. He is
laboring under the hallucination that
the United states government owes
him 81 900 for Staying and driving out
all the Indians in this vicinity. He
says he had a contract with the gov
eminent which provided for the pay
ment to him of the sum of $1,000 as
soon as he had exterminated the In
dams in and around st. Augustine. He
has faithfully performed his part of the
contract, which occupied $50 days, and
now not an Indian can be found any
where in this vicinity. He made out
his bill and presented it at the post
office, but the clerks refused to pay it,
He then took it to the First National
Bank. but met with no success there.
Again and again he presented his bill
at the postoffice window, but always
met with an emphatic refusal He final
ly decided to invoke the sheriff's as
sistance. and for several days has been
a regular caller at the sheriff's office.
