CHAPTER XIV.
THE BURGLAR, MR. PAUL AND SOME
boobies"

Number Two was not mistaken in
believing that his identity was un.
known to the police, and that his house
was, therefore, a secure hiding-place.
Excepting that a constable called to
inquire whether Mr.. Hall-as We
learned our hosts name was-had seen
any suspicious characters in the neigh.
borhood or about his premises, they

board and made detailed statement
of the financial condition in which the
department would be left if the $10,-
600 were taken from the allowance. He
said that if but $4,000 were allowed
the library board would find it impos-
sible to maintain the standard of theii
brary, and he did not believe that the
taxpayers of the city would desire to
have such result when the additional
expense was but $4,000.
Claiming Seabury spoke for the re-
tention in the budget of the $25, 600 for
the new capitol park, holding that as
the city will not be asked for further
assistance in acquiring approaches to
the capitol it should be willing to
grant the amount desired. He called
attention to the fact that practically
all of the increases in the budget are
due to charter amendments voted on
by the people, and that the taxpayers
themselves are the ones to blame, if
they object. He did not believe that
because of these necessary increases
that all projects for the benefit of the
city should be abandoned solely be-
cause of the cost
that the garbage fund be restored to
$25, 600. and found that he faced other
proposed reductions. Some OF the mem
bers of the council desired to reduce
by two-thirds the $4,000 set aside for
the Improvement of Harriet island. DR..
Ohage combatted the arguments. Mrs.
w E. Bramhall and DR.. A. w. Dunning
appeared to have the $4,000 appropria-
ton for the Fairgrounds inserted in the
budget, and there was present large
delegation desiring to be heard in IA
vor-of the armory completion:
The members of the council decided to
vote on the other items before hearing
further argument, with the result that all
the reductions were rescinded until there
remained but a total reduction of $24, 900.
Someone suggested that the granting of
these amounts would make but about one
quarter mill addition to the tax, and g
motion to report the budget as it came
from the conference committee, with the
$27, 600 for the armory added, carried by a
large majority.
In open session but little was said. Dur
ing the roll call Assemblyman Keller ask
ed that the budget be considered item by
item. This was ruled out of order, Presi-
dent Doran holding that the assembly
man, however, had the right to offer
amendments to any Of the items. Keller
did not avail himself of this privilege
Mr. Keller explained that he favored the
armory item but believed that others
should be cut out
Assemblyman O'Brien asserted that he
believed it possible to reduce the budget
considerably He did not offer amend
ments Mr.. O'Brien stated that he de-
sired to vote for the armory item.
With Keller and O'Brien recorded in
the negative the vote was to q bare
two-thirds of the members of the assem-
bly,, and just enough to carry the budget

wounded infantrymen, HarZamatoff and
Ischenko, who, with a dozen other
wounded men. lay for forty four days
in abandoned trenches between the
Russian and the Japanese lines, suffer-
ing from. the bitter cold and the lack
of food. Harzamatoff. VINO was only
slightly wounded, assisted the others
into the trenches, took coats from the
dead to cover them, bound their
wounds and dug a we'll japanese
came and took away the coats and
filed in the well. Harzamatoff again
got the coats, ,reopened the we'll and
secured a little dry bread and rice
from dead Russians and japanese. The
men also were compelled to eat raw
millet. Japanese made several visits
to the trenches, but paid no attention
to the wounded and rendered them no
assistance. The Russians feigned dead,
fearing to fall into the hands of the
Japanese. The sufferers frequently at
tempted to crawl back to the Russian
lines. but were compelled by weakness
and the pain of their wounds, as well
as the steady firing, to abandon the
attempt.
Finally, when only three men were
left alive. three Japanese came, one
of whom accidentally stepped on the
leg of "a soldier named Matvei, who
groaned aloud from pain. Finding him
alive the japanese dragged him away
from his comrades. who were too weak
to help him, despite his despairing en-
treaties. One of the Japanese sus-
piciously kicked Ischenko in the side,
but left him for dead. Harzamatoff
and Ischenl1o finally resolved to~make
a last desperate effort the next night
to creep back to the Russian lines.

dragging their bodies portion of the
distance they were observed by Rus
sian sentry and met with volleys from
Russian-rifies. forcing them to lie still
in the millet until the firing ceased,
when they finally reached the lines,
where they were cared for.
The army order paints the sublime
herofsm and modesty of these two men
in glowing colors. and especially that
of Harzamatoff, who, being but slightly
wounded could have joined the Rus
sian troops sooner. but preferred to.
remain with his comrades. His Regi-
ment," the order says. should be proud
to have such a man in its ranks.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec 15.-The case
against United States Senator Ralph Bur
ton, of Kansas, pending in the United
States court of appeals, was today con-
tinued to the May term to await the de-
cision of the United States supreme court

ton took writs of error to both the su-
preme court and the court of appeals. The
appeals are separate proceedings. That to

really was. They fear that a jury
would wholly ignore his testimony.
The state has witness who will
testify that on the evening of the mur-
der DR.. Koch asked him to bandage his
hand. Several days after the murder
DR.. Koch claimed that he burned his
hand with carboiic acid and used al
cohol as an antiseptfc, but was near a
fire which. ignited the alcohol and
burned his hand more severely, which
caused him to carry the injured mem
Der in a sling. The state will attempt
to prove that DR.. Koch attempted to
remove the injuries which he received
in the scuff1e with his victim.1 An in
dictment is confidently looked for Sat-
urday. The citizens committee claims
to have enough evidence on hand to
bring a conviction, even if Brooks gets
on the stand and swears that it was
not DR.. Koch.
