"Thats all, Mr.. Pratt. Just wanted
to know if you were there
The fact that Mr.. Pratt visited the
home Of Mr.. Fletcher was not such a
reprehensible act in itself, but 1t increased
the suspicious against him and some
pointed inquiries were made. The per-
sons interested found sufficient evidence
to convince them that Pratt was actually
laboring hard to nominate the republican
congressman and was pledged to work for
his election. ~ ..s...,. $500,
Mr.. Pratt was formerly superintendent
of the poor, having secured the place In
the administration of Mayor Gray. He did
his best to remain in the place when the
republicans came in power, and even pro-
fessed to.be one Of the elect. He failed to
prove a true conversion. however, and
was ousted. Not long after, Sheriff Me
garden appointed Mr.. Pratt one of his
deputies, at which the party workers
hoWled to man. Pratt continued to
draw his salary, however, until Coroner
Williams took charge of the office, and he
made Pratt walk the plank in short order

THE BULLET FLATTENED
Ida Buffers African Skull I'm
douhtedlv Saved Her Life.

. The traditional thickness of the African
skull is all that saved the life OF Mrs. Ida
Butler, the colored woman who attempted
suicide at her residence, 707 East Eigh-
teenth street, yesterday, by shooting. She
held the muzzle Of a 3S-calibre revolver
so close to her head that the powder
burned the edges Of the wound, and yet
the bullet failed to penetrate the skull.
When the surgeons opened: the wound,
they found the bullet fattened against the
bone. -. ~ 7.;rs.-S r>,:..
Soon after the woman was found she
regained consciousness and said that she
had been shot by a :neighbor. AS she had
quarreled with one of her neighbors, 1t
was thought at first that a crime: had
been committed, but a thorough investiga-
ton convinced the police that she fired
the shot herself and that the accusation
was but the result of her deririum. 49,:
