pitaI. as result of the rescue from the
fifth story OF the Hotel Carey at the
time OF the Illuminated fire run
The lad Byers, for such he is. was the
fair lady and Mccall was the re5cuer.
Byers was employed as a bell boy at the
Carey. In making the rescue too much
OF a swing resulted as Mccall and Byers
left the fifth story window, and each
struck violently against a window sill
OF the third story as they made the de-
scent.
MIR. McCaus back and right shoulder
were badly bruised. At the time OF the
arrival at the first story, the descent was
being made TOO rapidly. PhA rope which
was q new one burned McCalrs hands
and he was compelled TO let go. But for
prompt work on the part of Assistant
Marshal Shauner, who saw that Mccall
had let go OF the rope and who broke
their fall. the two would no doubt have
been killed
As it was the tenden's of McCalTs right
leg were ruptured and ne is seriously
wounded The Byers boy received a
badly wrenched leg and he is also bruised.
Each has a bhrn on the neck as a result
of coming in contact with the rope as
they came down.

siderably and glove which he wore was
burned in two as if cut by knife. Byers,

quire probably a week or ten days TO

An air of mystery has surrounded the
accidents to the participants in the rescue
at the time of the fire run and it was not
until last evening that the exact par
ticulars were obtained.
Before that those who were supposed

Others who didn't know much about il,
but who thought they did, We're wrong.
II vas reported at one time that Mccall
was dead. Another time it was supposed
TO be the boy who was seriously injured
and the man was supposed to have es-
capped being hurt

summoned and Byers was taken to the
hospital Mccall was Immediately sent

SAMPLE ACQUITTED
IN CITY COURT
Hearing Occupied the Whole
Day Yesterday.
JURY OUT 80 MINUTES
Andrews Was Released on
Bond of $1,000

Charles Sample. the young man who
has been out on bond under the charge
of defrauding the firm of WalIenstein &
Cohn, while acting as an employee of the
the WeIls-Fargo Express company, was
acquitted in the city court about six
o'clock by a jury. after it had been cut
less than half an hour Sample was rep
resented by Adams & Adams while Coun-
ty Attorney Eckstein represented the
state.
The charge on which Sample was ar
rested was that of defrauding the firm
of Wallenstein & Cohn out of sl-27 and
was said to have been committed on Sep
TENDER l. 1t was alleged that he de-
iivered a package 70 that firm which
had been expressed with the Welis-Fargo
people from Philadelphia, and upon which
the charges were $50 That he repre-
sented that the charges were S9.67 and
collected that amount, turning in to the
express company only $40. thereby de-
frauding Walenstein & Cohn out OF $l-Z7.
The hearing of the case was set for
last Thursday but the attorneys for the
defendant demanded a Jury trial and the
case was continued until yesterday.
Court was called at $50 and the Sample
case was the first one called. 1t re-
quired until the middle of the afternoon
to take the evidence and the arguments
which followed lasted until 6 o'clock.
The legal fight was a hard one and
proved very interesting for those who
had gathered in the court room. Sample,
with some of his relatives was present
The case was submitted TO the jury at
6 o'clock and at $50 they returned a
verdict OF not guilty, much to the salts
faction of Sample. his attorney, Geo.
Adams and to many friends who were
present.
It was stated some time ago that two
more charges were to be brought against
Sample in case he was not convicted on
the first charge but it is generally sup
posed that these charges will be dis
missed.
A. S. Andrews. the other young man
who was arrested on a charge practically
the same as that of Sample and who has
been in the county jail since his arrest
which occurred in Kansas City was re-
leased on bond of 81. 90 yesterday after
noon. The bond was signed by J. E.
Dodds and ]. z. Brown as surities. Mr..
Andrews is still in the city and it is
thought that with his wife he Will remain

PARAMOUNT THE WINNER.
In Football Game With Wellington

Paramount won from the Wellington
football team yesterday by q score OF
10 to on the Paramount field
The Fairmount team showed marked
Improvement in handling the ball over
their first game. The Wellington boys
were a husky set and played hard. Bull
lock, Fairmounts old tackle. was in the
game with Wellington, but found his old
place well filed by Russell. There was
only one disagreeable feature attached
to the game: Wellington showed a dis
position to delay the game by wrang
ling. The first half opened with Well
ington kicking off. The bali changed
hands couple of times. but Paramount
showed Foster over the line for the first
touchdown. Davis missed goal.
The second half showed much better
ball. Softer distinguished himself by a
couple of fine end-runs. one of which re-
suited in a touchdown. Bates also ac-
quilted himself well on line bucks. Both
sides resorted to punting in which Fair
mount had the best of the argument.
The game closed with the ball in Fair
mounts possession on Wellingtons 10
yard line The lineup was as follows:
