Krause told his story in a. disconnected
manner and at times he would lose the
thread of the narrative entirely and would
have to be brought back to the subject by
his listeners. The lieutenant then put
Krause through sweat box examina-
ton. Krause remained cool throughout
with the exception of time, when he
broke down and sobbed bitterly. His con-
versation was rambling and it was easily
seen by the police that he was demented.
After he was questioned Captain Brad

to investigate his story. He found that 1t
was true. Mrs Krause was found in bed.

HIT BY A NEGRO
Mrs. Mclaughlin Rescued by
Men Attracted by Screams.

Mrs. Samuel Mclaughlin who lives
at lbs North Kansas avenue was as
saulted last evening about 1870 O'Clock
by an unknown negro. She was pound
ed about the face and was otherwise

cries. Later she wandered away and
was found three hours later. She was
in a dazed condition as the result of her
encounter
Mrs. Mclaughlin was going to the
home of her brother, George McLaugh-
lin, who lives at 305 Branner street
She intended to cross the Santa F'e
tracks at the Second street viaduct and
soon after seven o'clock she approached
the west end of the viaduct when a
negro grabbed her. She screamed and
the brute then struck her in the face
with his fist. Mrs. Mclaughlin contin-
ued to scream and switchmen who were
nearby in a house ran to her rescue.
The negro disappeared as soon as he
saw the men and could not be found.
After Mrs. Mclaughlin had been paci-
fed she asked to be allowed to go on to
the home of her brother and she was
permitted to go. The men assisted in
the rescue became alarmed soon after
they had permitted Mrs. Mclaughlin
to go and went to the home of George
Mclaughlin but she had not arrived.
A search was made and at 10 o'clock
Mrs. Mclaughlin was found wander
a dazed condition but this morning had

REFLECTIONS OF a BACHELOR

[From the New York Press.1
The best way to avoid marital mis-
understandings is to avoid the whole
marital business.
To sympathize with those who are
down in the world it Is necessary for
you to get down there yourself.
A woman who will ask another wo-
man to show her how to do tatting al
most thinks enough of her to be her
friend.
A girl gets her photographs taken
with not enough clothes on so as to be
able to be sorry not to be able to give
it to somebody she knows.
Versatility is not a woman's strong
point. Before marriage she signs to
think how happy she is going to be
and afterward she signs to think how
happy she thought she was going to
be.
