BIRDS MISS THEIR BENEFACToR
Feathered Creatures show Disap-
pointment when Accustomed
Meal Fails 60 Turn Up.

Chipping a chord Of discomfort aud dis
appointment, a flock Of nifty sparrows new
restlossly about in the yard In the rear OF
the city hospital the other morning for
more than an hour. and then few away.
The cause Of their unusual antics in the
neighborhood ot the city institution was
the absence OF Rudolph Linnenbaum, 50
years old, their faithful ono-legged friend.
who has fed them each morning for more
than three months. Lnnenbaum with NJ
teen other convalescent patients, was taken
TO the city poorhouse Thursday, and when
the birds appeared In the hospital yard
yesterday for their morning meal they were
not greeted by their benefactor.
Bnnenbaum formerly roomed at lO9 Mar
ket street. He was entered as a patient
at the city hospital April 16. He was sick
destitute and without home and received
medical attention for several weeks Finally
he recovered. and, with the other conva-
lescents, was permitted to spend the day
in the rear yard.
Llnnenbaum would not mix with the
other patients. He read no newspapers or
books, nor would he converse, as the others
, did. He went on to a quiet little corner
in the shade. He would place his crutches
| beside him. and there, for hours remain
in his own company, avoiding conversation.
Linnenbaum seemed 10 care nothing for
the outside world. Little was known Of
| him. He told his name and that was all
the information he gave to the city hospital
recorder.
Every morning, after breakfast, LAnnen-
baum would pick up his crutches, and,
with an old tin bucket nlled with crumbs
and pieces of bread gathered from the
breakfast table would hobble or TO the
| quiet, lonely spot behind the hospital annex
and there spend his morning hours.
His actions one morning attracted the
| attention OF the hospital attendants and
| they decided to watch him and see what
| Linnenbaum did with the bread he carried
| away from the table. They were startled
| at finding Linnenbaum seated in the midst
of some twenty or thirty sparrows who
were chirping and eating apparently with
no fear of capture.
| Some of the sparrows sat upon the knee
| of their human companion while Others
picked the crumbs from his hand, They
jumped all over him and he seemed tc
enjoy the novelty OF having such a number
OF feathered friends.
This was enacted every morning. Linnen.
baum appeared TO have the birds withr
| his power. When another patient would
| come near the birds would fly away to-
| gether. Linnenbaum would then tell tho
unwelcome visitor that he was not wanted
Immediately after the departure of tho
stranger the birds would, one by one, re-
turn to Linnenbaum. The supply of crumbs
being exhausted, the birds flew away, tC
return the next morning at the usual hour
The hospital attaches will watch develop
ments. Some of them contend that tn,
birds will return again thls morning, bu
others say they will not come back.-st

The police after several days search sue
ceeded in recovering miscellaneous
quantity Of dress goods fancy dresses, etc,

the fire at John Bridget's place, Fourteenth
and Broadway. 1t was known at the time
OF the fire that Mr.. and Mrs. Bridget had
large quantity Of goods of this character.
which were made up for and rented to the
demimonde. The Bridgets claimed that all
this stun was burned and they laid claim
to 1900 insurance they had on the stun.
The claim has been resisted by the insur-
ance people on other alleged grounds OF
arson. upon which charge the Bridget's
were arrested the charge afterwards being
changed at the suggestion Of the county
attorney to setting fire to a house in the
night time" The cases were subsequently
dismissed and they we're released from
custody.
On the night Of the fire, trunk or box
was run in the Brdget's wagon by some
one who reported the matter to the fire
chief but when he went TO examine the box
It had msteriously disappeared, and the
police have been hunting for It ever since,
as It was supposed to contain the silks,
dresses and fancy goods, for which the
Brldgets were claiming insurance, and
which might have been the motive Of the
hra.
Two gunny sacks were unearthed near
the water works Monday morning, where
they had been securely buried, and an
examination of the contents developed. the
presence Of $50 or $500 worth Of dress
goods finished fancy dresses of silk OF
all colors, undergarments, laces etc,
galore When opened at the police station,
the room presented the appearance of a
French ball dressing room. Two whole
bolts Of rich dress goods were among the
find.
The police are of the opinion that there
is more Of the plunder hid elsewhere
Bridget and his wife are under bonds
to the district court of Pottawattamie
county for assault with intent to do great
bodily harm. Their bondsmen gave notice
Monday that they would surrender them,
and the county authorities are now after
the Bridgets, who left the city Monday
morning ostensihly TO go after load of
apples somewhere down the river. 1t. is
believed however that the Bridgets had
gone where they had cached the dress
goods and other plunder with view to
taking It away, but finding it gone have
| fed the country.
John Bridget was arrested late Monday
| evening upon his return to the city, and
| was committed TO the county jail, having
been surrendered by his bondsmen. Mrs
| Bridget is still at large, though efforts are
being made to apprehend her.
