unqualifledly for Mayor Weaver. This
was complete surprise in many quar-

clung to the hope that the old crowd

Evidently learning that Mr.. Andrews
contemplated the sale of his property
here, Mr.. Cunningham wired j o, 0s-

The writ was issued just before the
suspension of business at the court
house tonight.
1t develops that Andrews and his at

to sell the property. They did not reg

the public. When the court house
opened this morning Mr.. Andrews
learned that an attachment had been
issued on his property, including his
oil production. During the forenoon
the prospective purchaser, DR.. s. ".

city but of course, no sale could Ne

parties agreed upon $4,000 as the price
for the land and Receiver Cunningham,
through his attorney, consented to the
sale. The piece was accordingly trans

turned over to Receiver Cunningham.
After the sale had been contaminated

to their hotel and registered. ~

J. Pierpont Morsan's Narrow
Escape in New York

New York, Nov. al. Pierpont Nor
gan, the financier, had narrow es-
cape from death or serious injury to-
day. He barely escaped by the frac-
tion of an inch being run down by a
Madison avenue car.
He had been walking east and was
crossing the tracks when he noticed
a car bearing down upon him.
Mr.. Morgan stepped back quickly
without looking to see If the other
track was clear. Unknown to him a
car was coming toward him at rapid
pace.
The motorman of the car did not
see Mr.. Morgan until he was within
few feet of him. Then he shouted
and whirled around the brake handle
The wheels of the car stopped turn
ing but the car slid until 1t was al
most touching Mr.. Morgan's coat.
The latter in the meantime had
stood still as II paralyzed with
fright. The sudden jar caused by the
jamming of the brakes threw several
persons to the floor of the car and
there was great excitement. Mr.. Nor
gan finally proceeded to his Office
without saying anything to the motor
man.

ter George had been taken to the hos

untimely call at her home. Mr.. Budzi-

Peter Pappas, who came all the way
from Chicago to recover possession of
his wife from Nicholas Tampakas, with

Bailiff Hickey was kept busy shooing
him away.
When the Chief of Police wired to
Mr.. Pappas that his spouse and her
paramour were under surveillance the
answer came, Arrest them and send
her back to me-" and when the re-
sponse was that his presence here to
sign a complaint would be legally es-

having the warrant served he hurried
to Judge Mogan, who had just ad
journed court for the day, and brusque-
ly insisted that the examination of

business in Chicago and desired to take
his wife with him. That was on Satur-
day, and yesterday his impatience had
attained the fever stage, but he will
probably be compelled to postpone his
return several days more, as the ex-
animation cannot be proceeded with
until the male defendant, who is con-
fined to a hospital with rheumatism,
can appear in court.
