PENDED OVER A CLIFF.
right leg. There he remained for sew
en- long hours, supported by a rope and
suspended over a precipice at a height
of 10000 feet. Could a more horrible
situation be imagined? There he had
to remain all those weary hours hang
ing between life and death.
1t was the old guide who succeeded
in supporting Mr.. FITZGERALD the whole
of the time. Old Amer stood motion
less for seven hours with his legs prop
ped against a bowlder, the whole
weight of Mr.. FITZGERALD being upon
his body. Eventually, when help ar
rived, poor old Amer appeared utterly
exhausted by the vast strain put upon
him. Eight guides and two physicians
conveyed Mr.. FitzGeraldSto Alagna. 1t
is needless to say that all the inhab-
ltants warmly cheered old Amer as he
came down the mountain.
A tourist named GregoreX was on
the edge Of a precipice a much longer
time than this, but he was not sus-
pended in midair. Mr.. GregoreX was
found on narrow ledge of rock on the
Emir, where he had been six days. Of
course he had been the whole of the
time there without food or drink, and
if he had moved he would have fallen
down the side of a precipice 600 feet
deep.
There has been built recently a great
factory chimney in connection with
Lowfield mill, Belfield, near Rochdale.
One day three wOrkmen, named Wal
ter Dempsey, Joseph Evans and Sam
uel Bardsley, were engaged in winding
up some of the material for the top
when it became entangled in the scat
folding and would move neither up nor
down. Thus it was that the men were
effectually imprisoned in their aerial
position at the top Of the chimney.
Eventually the Rochdale steeplejack,
Joseph Smith, was summoned to the
scene, and he devised a method of es-
cape. Acting upon his advice, one of
the men tore his shirt into strings and
tied the pieces together to form a rope.
One end of this shirt rope was let
down, and to it was tied a good stout
rope, which was hauled to the top of
the chimney and made secure. After
this a saddle was fastened to the end
of the rope, and it was hoisted up, and
eventually the men were lowered safe
Iy to the ground after four hours i'm
prisonment.
Some little time ago the Keighley po-
lice were attracted to a pawnbroker's
shop by the shouts of man. They
found that the man had the upper part
of his body protruding through the
glass panel Of a door. When the Off
GERS asked the man what he was doing
he replied that he was wedged in and
could not get out.
Then the constables tugged and pull
ed and jerked and pushed at the hui
man carcass fastened to the door, but
1t was firmly wedged. 1t was neces-

WOMAN sLAsHEs A BANKER.
Mrs. PIunkott Cuts Throat Of Man She
Says Wronaed Her.

Robinson, ILL.,, May 2.--Mrs. Nora
Plunkett, domestic, is under arrest
here on the charge of attempting to kill
Samuel l.. Bennett, whose throat she
Gu. with razor Monday night. Mr..
Bennett is one Of the city's wealthiest
residents and is part owner of the
First National Bank. Mrs. Plunkett
has been in the employ of the family
for two years.
Mr.. Bennett had gone to his room
upstairs, Mrs. Bennett sleeping with
her niece on the lower floor and Mrs.
Plunkett in room across the hall adj
joining that of Mr.. Bennett on the up
per floor.
II appears from the different stories
in circulation that during the years of
her service there had been a friendly
feeling existing between Mrs. Plunkett
and Mr.. Bennett that was not agree
able to Mrs. Bennett and she had dis
charged the woman but reinstated her
at the request of Mr.. Bennett.
Bennett Was Lying on Bed.
Mr.. Benefits story is that he was
lying on the bed when Mrs. Plunkett
entered his room, saying, II want TO
talk to YOU" and stepping over to the
bed, attacked him with razor, cutting
a cash over seven inches on either side
of his neck, missing the carotid artery
by the thirty-second of an inch.
Mrs. Plunketts story is that he had
wronged her and that she would fix
him so that he would not wrong an
other woman and regrets that the work
was not finished. She surrendered her
self to the Sheriff, who refused to i'm
prison her without the proper proceed
ngs unless she was in fear of person
al injury.
Wife Gets Out Warrant.
A warrant was issued on the COM
plant of Mrs Bennett on a charge of
assault with attempt to murder and
the case was continued by the state
until May 3, with bond in the sum of
$500
The sympathy of the people seems to
be with the woman, who claims she is
innocent and has evidence, both writ
ten and oral ito prove the relations
that have existed between herself and
Mr.. Bennett.
Unless complications arise Mr.. Ben
nett will recover. He says there was
nothing in common between himself
and Mrs Plunkett.

maueua Sunday night to. follow the
route of his fathers famous malsch TO

EARN Falls
The Famous Nor' Shore Farm
Asks Compromise With Its
Creditors
MISS eAecock PROPRIETOR
Lack of Capital Given as tho Gauge Of
tho Failure Of the venture-Una,ble
to Moot Interest on Mortsase-E\x.
penses Ate Up the Profits-D Dealers
Complain.

Chicago May 2.-Beaten but not dis
couraged. Miss Mabel X. Babcock, pro-
prietor of the North Shore poultry
farm that has won almost national rep
utatlon, yesterday closed up her husi-
ness and Is endeavoring to compro-
mise with her creditors for GO cents
on the dollar.
Lack Of capital she ascribes as the
cause of the failure Of her venture to
keep up the record which 1t maintained
for several years. Her farm, forty
station Of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul road, and an deliberately
equipped store for marketing the pro-
duee Is located ut 20 State street The
expenses OF this down town sales de-
partment, Miss Babcock says, ate, up
lieves that with $4,000 more she could
have maintained 1t successfully.
Mortgage Cause of Crisis.
The deciding step toward her retire.
Ianent from the business was taken by
Peabody, Houghteling Il Co, which
! firm holds 4 mortgage of $4,000 OH the
property. Cash on hand and accounts
receivable are about $4,000. Of which
nearly $1,000 will go to pay wages of
employees. Accounts payable are be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000, the greater
part of which Is In debts in South Wa
ter street. When the holders OF the
mortgage saw that the concern was
sinking into insolvency they agreed
with Miss Babcock to wind up It's at
fairs, and put the case into the hanGs
of Attorney Joseph A. Hunter, former
foot ball star at Northwestern Uni
versity.
He called on the South Water street
creditors with proposition to avoid
the delay and cost Of bankruptcy pro-
ceedings by an agreement to accept
60 per cent of their claims. Three
fourths of them. Mr.. Hunter says, have
already agreed to this, and he feels that
the matter will be closed today. The
largest creditors are the Western Cold
Storage Company, $4,000, and A. EIooth
g. Co., $500. Some slight doubt is felt
as to the attitude Of country creditors,
including Glen View grocers, butchers,
and carpenters.
Miss Babcock last evening stated. that
she almost had broken down under
the strain of the last year, which has
been bad one for her business. She
stated she had hopes to satisfy her
creditors as well as possible under the
circumstances, and then will take
rest before venturing further into the
realms of business. Peabody, Hough-
telling & Co, have asked that She con-
tinue as manager OF the farm after its
disposition is settled. but she has not
yet accepted.
Stories Of Storage Broilers.
South Water street men in discuss
ing Miss Babcock's case implied. that
she had practiced buying eggs en- the
street and selling them as strictly
fresh laid" from her farm. They also
alleged that she bought spring chlckehs
from cold storage plants and sold them
as Of her raising.
Miss Babcock denies these charges.

CATTLE PRICES HIGHER
Gains of About Ten We're Made
OH Better Class of
Steers
HOG MARKET LOWER TODAY
AItho Prices Opened Nearly Steady,
the Low Mark of the Session Was
About Five Under That Of the Pre-
vous Day Lambs Steady, Sheep
Ten Higher.

Chicago, May 2.--Cattle A lighter
run than the trade had looked for and
good demand for steers lifted the mar
ket, gains OF about ten being made on
the better class of steers, while under
grade sorts ruled fully steady with
here and there cases where even they
showed advances.
A supply of $4,000 to 10000 would
about suit conditions, according to the
ideas of more traders. After the big
run of Monday there were inclined to
look for some short orders on local ac-
count, while also anticipating much less
Keen demand from the exporters and
shippers.
The development of good pastures is
responsible for much of the strength in
the market for stockers at the present
time, and those who have a place for
the cattle are not paying much atten-
ton to the current condition Of the fat
cattle market. Thin light tail-end
knothead stoclkers sold down to $3.50.
but there were not many stocker sales
below $3.50 and that sort OF stuff Is
taken only because 1t looks cheap.
Outside of the strictly choice feeders
the market has not been very satisfac-
tory. and many sellers considered
prices weaker There has not been the
snap In this branch of the trade that
was expected considering the urgent
demand for the best qualities. The
outlet to the country is rather slim.
Hogs.
Prices opened nearly steady, on de-
mand from SPECTATORS but weakened
because packers, and outside buyers
would not take hold freely, and the
low mark OF the session was about five
cents under that Of the previous day.
There is apprehension in market at
of further decline should
supplies prove as liberal as Monday
and Tuesday. This is a probability, as
the three days will witness the cashing
in of stuff bought for country delivery
the last of April and the first of May.
Shipping demand Is usually light on
the mid-week session and this pros
pect was an added element. of weak
ness.
Sheep.
The sheep and lamb trade had a
good, strong tone, and values generally
looked steady on lambs, and strong to
ten cents higher on sheep
Clipped lambs are up 10@15 cents,
but the wooded contingent from Colo
RADIO was held down with firm hand.
A lot Of these lambs were reported at
river markets and raising prices
here meant an appreciation there, con-
sequently it was case of hold EN-
down. Wool lambs have had decided
bulge recently, and they are already
looking high. consequently it was not
difficult to check the upward move
ment. Clipped lambs were 10015
cents higher. but wooled stuff was
only steady. 1t was a $3.50 top on
wool, and $3.50 on clipped. Sheep
showed b@10c advance and yearlings
were in the same category. A small
supply was soon cleaned up. Light
lambs were in hot demand--even II
lacking flesh. and sold practically on.
