RASH ACT
Crazed by Injuries Brook
lyn Nan Tries to End His
Life---Used an Ordinary
Kitchen knife.

Anthony Prapulenes, aged % years.
who lives at 663 North Riverside
street, attempted to commit suicide
shortly after II o'clock last night
while suffering temporarily from in
sanity. Although his efforts were
partly frustrated by his wife, he so
badly cut his throat and gashed his
neck with an ordinary kitchen knife
that his condition is critical and it is
only a question Of a few hours before
his death will occur.
Prapulenes has worked at various
times for Frank Miller Sc Co, John BY
ron and other coal dealers up to about
three weeks ago. Since that. time he
has been drinking rather heavily and
on one occasion he was badly injured
in fight 1T is thought that his
skull was fractured. Since he received
his injury about two weeks ago he has
been acting strangely and queerly and
his mind has been unbalanced. His
actions alarmed his wife and friends,
but they were unable, apparently, to
do anything for him. They thought
that his mind would become all right
again after d short time. but instead
his condition grew gradually worse
and his actions of a wilder and more
dangerous nature.
About 5 O'Clock yesterday afternoon
he paid "a visit to the police station
and asked Captain Bannon to arrest
him. His request was granted He
remained in "a cell until about 8 o'clock
last night, when his wife and friend
came and took him home AT that
time he appeared to be in fairly good
condition. Captain Bannon advised
the woman, however. to take her hus-
band to doctor as soon as possible
and to find out what was the trouble
with him. She promised to do so.
They went home and nothing unus-
ual occurred until about 1915 last
night. At that time Prapulenes was
sitting in the kitchen and his wife and
three friends were watching him. Sud
denly he stood up and dashed into the
pantry, seized a knife and began to
saw at his throat. When the men
saw this act of the half insane man,
it is said that every one of them acted
as towards, and ran away, leaving the
woman alone to struggle with her
crazy husband. She grappled with him
until her cries for help attracted Pa
trolmen Dunphv and Gabriel, who soon
placed the unfortunate man under their
power. While medical aid was being
summoned Prapulenes tried to insert
his fingers into the gashes In his neck
and to tear them further apart Drs
Crane and De LiGuori. who arrived as
soon as possible. found that Prapu-
lene's windpipe was entirely severed.
His throat was so seriously gashed
that the doctors gave no hope of re-
covery, He was removed in Lunny's
ambulance to the hospital, where it
was announced to-day that his condi-
tion was critical. His death may oc-
cur at any hour

1an Believed to Be an Escaped Com
yict Shoots Himself.

Hanford, Calf, April 16.--A man
who, the officers believe, from descrip-
tions, to be Ray Fahey, who escaped
from Folsom during the recent prison
break, has been shot In the legs while
resisting arrest near heer and rather
than be captured alive, shot himself
in the head and died within an hour.
The escape in which Fahey figured
was one of the most sensational in the
history of this state. Fourteen con-
victs got away by killing one Of the
guards and taking the warden Of the
prison along as shield. The militia
was called out and for several weeks
the hunt was on. Two militia
men were killed. One convict commit
ted suicide and four were subsequent
ly captured.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.
National Secretary ColweIl Makes a
Telling Speech.
Especial to Democrat.)

washington. April 16.-Daniel Col
well of New Haven. the national sec
retary of the Knights of Columbus,
made an interesting speech at the
smoker of the knights held at Rausch-
er's to wind up the ceremonies attend
ing the meeting in Washington. Mr.
Colwel said, in part: "Ours is the rich
est order in the world to-day, and our
membership OF 11O,191 is a cause for
pride. There are more than a mil
lion dollars in cash in our treasury
and we don't owe anybody cent. We
have just cause for congratulation
also in the fact that we have so large
representation of our order in the
halls of congress. and I predict and
pray that the time will come when
the orders OF the Catholic church can
muster a quorum in the house of rep
resentatives.
1--WE have energy and tenacity of
purpose and when that institution on
the hill has given history as it ought
to have been written, Catholics will
be given the place which has been de-
MED to them, sometimes maliciOusly,
for twenty five years. In our order of
the knights of Columbus our motto
has been quality first and then guam
tity. We are doing great work, In
New Haven we have the finest piece
Of land in the very heart of Puritan
ism, and we are going to erect there
a building which shall be landmark. =
Mr. ColweHs address was greeted with
great applause and was the hit Of the
evening.
Rev Father McGivney of Milford
also spoke Of the great work Of the
organization and urged the members
to continue the work.

Travelling libraries will also be a feature of this work, and We can but faintly realize what boon these will be to families on isolated farms and in remote villages.
 In North Carolina a similar work has been organized by MT. John T. Patrick. The railroad is utilized here, Mir. Patrick having had a car fitted up with kitchen in charge of two practical housekeepers. This car is attached to through train, and dropped off at different points where practical lessons are given in good food, good cooking and good house. keeping. Many new ideas are thus introduced into these isolated neigh borhoods, and much accomplished towards making life better worth liv- ing for these ignorant, neglected peo- pie by bringing to them breath of life from the great outside world.

KILLED BY FEAR.
Buffalo Bull Died When He Heard the
 Locomotive Shriek.

Although l was on the plains when buffaloes were there by hum dreds of thousands" said an old-time locomotive engineer, T never killed but one, and I didn't mean to do that" The experience happened during the year in which the Santa Fe railroad was opened up through Kansas, and the engineers story Is part of an interview which he had with writer for the New York Sun. "One day." said the engineer, "my train was held up not far from Dodge City, Kan. by great herd of buffa- loes that were travelling south. l ran as near the herd as l could get, and then stopped to wait until it passed, for 1 might as well have dashed my engine against stone wall as tried to force way through that living mass.
 "Of the buffaloes that could see us those on the edge of the herd only one seemed to be disturbed by our intrusion on that vast prairie, and this was an enormous bull. He ac- tually lowered head and shoulders above his fellows. He was near the head of the column, and left the l ranks when he stepped upon the rail road He advanced toward the loco motive until he was within few yards of it. Then, with his nose tc the ground, he paved the dirt and bel lowed and snorted defiance, showing every disposition to resist our com ing into his domain.
 'As he stood there in the middle oi the track in challenging attitude, pulled my whistle valve wide open Such a wild, piercing, hair-raisine shriek as that locomotive let go hac never split the air in that country be- fore. It struck the great bull witt such terror that he rose on his hinc feet as fine had been shot pbya blast An instant he stood that way, terror ized, and then he toppled over like 2 falling tree and came down in heaI across the track, making everything tremble. He was dead, literall, frightened to death by the shriek O. that locomotive"
