RESCUED YOUNGSTER
BRAVE AND DARING ACT OF MISS
NELSON.

Miss Jessie Nelson, who lives at 922 North
Carolina avenue. gave an exhibition of
bravery about 8 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon, when she saw eighteen-months-
old John McC1osky In danger of be-
ing killed by a street car. The boy was
in front Of the home OF his parents, 414
New York avenue northwest. and attempted
to run across the street just as one Of the
big City and Suburban cars came along.
The car was running at only moderate
rate of speed, but Motorman W. s. Grimm
realized that he would have difficulty In
stopping 1t In time to prevent a possible
fatality. as the child had appeared on the
street so suddenly and the warning was a
short one. He used all the strength at his
command to bring the vehicle to a stop,
however but was unable to succeed in time
to give the child plenty room and not en-
danger his life.
Mrs. McClosky. mother of the child, was
a witness to the affair. She saw that there
was danger of her child's life being crushed
out but, being invalid, was unable to
make quick movement toward the car
track. Miss Nelson, who happened to be
passing at the time, saw the danger, and
proved herself equal to the emergency.
Running from the sidewalk to the street,
she grabbed the little one in her arms just
as the fender of the moving was about
to strike him
Even when the fender struck Miss Nelson
and knocked her upon her face, she did
not release her hold upon the child. but
stuck to the little fellow to prevent him
from being injured. She finally tossed him
from the track when she felt that her own
life was in danger, and the child received
slight bruises. When the car had been
stopped the motorman, conductor and pas
sengerS went TO the assistance of Miss
Nelson. 1t was found that the childs ex-
peFience had resulted in his receiving a few
bruises, but DR.. Wagner who attended him.
SAID there was apparently nothing serious
about his condition. Miss Nelson did not
fare so well. Her nose was broken and
she received a number of minor cuts and
bruises. She was taken TO the Homeo-
pathic Hospital and given surgical treat
ment.
AT the time the affair happened there
were many pedestrians upon the street and
number of persons were seated in front
OF their homes New York avenue The
rescue was an exciting scene to those who
witnessed the conduct of Miss Nelson. and
1t was feared by them that she had been
Killed. They were agreeably surprised
when they found that she was able to get
up and walk to the sidewalk She came in
for praise from all sides and was congratu-
lated for the bravery she displayed in saw
ing the childs life at the risk of her own

SAMPLES OF LARD.
Health Office Inspectors Looking for
Cotton Seed Oil.

Being convinced that many grocers and
butchers are mixing cotton-seed oil with
lard these days, so as to prevent the lard
from melting in the heat, the health office
has corps of inspectors collecting samples
all over the city. Warrants will be issued
wherever such adulteration. specified as an
infraction of the pure-food law, is discov-
cred.
The health department cannot object to
the sale of lard and cotton-seed Oil mixed
If the mixture Is indicated on the label In
some samples brought in by the inspectors
there was found to be 60 per cent lard and
40 per cent adulterant. Let the label tell''
Is the order of the health department, and
many will be the sad tales told In the Police
Court if the sellers of part lard part some
thing else" do not tell their customers about
the addition of oils which never originated
from the pig.

Lung Wing Bung is charged by the
local police with the theft of two rings
worth about 500, from Lee Hing of 3l4
Pennsylvania avenue northwest, who Is Or
of the most prominent residents of China
town." The Chinaman. who is under ar
rest. had room at 3ls Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and often visited his neighbor. One
day about three weeks ago. it is alleged
the two men occupied the same bank while
hitting the pipe and when they had fin
ished their smoke 1t was claimed by Lee
Hing that his rings had been taken from
his pocket book. About that time there
came a report from Boston that one China
man had murdered another of his country
men by shooting him, and, 1t was stated,
1t was believed he had come to this city
Captain Boardman'S detectives were told
of the murder, and several of them visited
the Chinese quarter. Chinese residents pre-
tended they were anxious to assist in the
capture of Lung Wing Bung. and prom
Used to let the detectives know If he came
here. He returned recently. but the prom
ised message did not come. Bung had been
in Roanoke. Va, since he went away from
this city, and upon his return had found
employment in one of the many restaurants
conducted by Chinese.
Detectives Horne and Flather effected the
capture yesterday. They visited China
town. and called at several of the stores
and laundries, searching the opium hunks
and other places. 1t was while they were
so engaged that they spied the Chinaman
wanted and followed him to his room He
was inclined to be ugly, and declared he
would not go. Placing his hand upon
meat cleaver he declared he would
not leave the room. The detectives
soon convinced him that 1t was well for him
to change his mind, and he then went to
headquarters with them. He denied all
knowledge of the whereabouts of the rings
and also denied that he had been in Boston,
where another Chinaman was murdered
Attorney Ambrose furnished bond for his
appearance, and he was released.
