MRS. DOLL SUES MRS. OSBORNE.
Senator Dayis's Widow Seeks to Recover
$3.50 Lost on Stocks and Races.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 40. - Mrs. Anna
Agnew Doll widow OF Senator Cushman
X. Davis of Minnesota, to-day brought
suit against Mrs. Kate L. Osborne, who
formerly had All interest in local stock
brokerage firm, to recover $50 which Mrs.
Doll advanced, as ere says, on stock deal
guaranteed by Mrs. Osborne. The suit
was brought on promissory notes given
by Mrs. Osborne to secure payment.
Mrs. Osborne, In replying to the ale
gntions, makes affidavit that in 1901 Mrs.
Doll gave her 800 to invest in certain stocks,
with the understanding that tie profits
resulting we're to be divided between them,
end that Mrs. Doll (then Mrs. De visl should
in addition, receive the amount Of her
original investment.
1t proved losing venture, however and
the entire capital was lost. Mrs Doll then
gave $50 to her for the purpose of backing
the Bennings racetrack, which also was
lost.
Mrs. Doll then. according to the affidavit,
advanced 500 on another stock deal, and
as security for payment, also for former
advances, and in view Of the prospective
profits, Mrs. Osborne executed promissory y
notes for the $3.50 advanced. Like the
others, however. this venture proved
unfortunate, and Mrs. Osborne, therefore,
denies that she is liable for The notes.
Mrs Osborne was formerly clerk in
the Pension Office. and subsequently ran
family hotel in this city.

OF us John street, Brooklyn. in the excite
ment of seeing his seven year-old son John

closed his business for the day. the father
went out of his shop. which is under the
family az artmehts, and, crossing the street,
saw the boy on the roof again, and told him
TO come down. The lad ran to the rear Of
the roof and there remained, evidently
thinking that as his father could not see him
he would suppose that he had obeyed him.
Tie father went to the roof and made a
dash for lis sen. Tie lad stepped back Of
a chimney and tried to pass around the
edge Of the roof. He missed his footing
and fell to the yard, a distance Of about
thirty feet. Seeing his son falling and
