Samuel Bowley Draws
Pistol on Conductor
and Tries to Use 1t
PASSENGERS FAINT

Samuel BowIey. an electrician, re-
siding at 27O0 California street, livened
I'D things on a Devisadero-street car
early yesterday morning, when the con-
ductor, c. A StiIweIl. disputed his
right to ride on a certain transfer
Bowley, it is said, drew a revolver on
the conductor and afteward snapped It
at the motorman. After being disarmed
Bowley was badly beaten BY the car
men. During the fight two women
passengers tainted. another lost dia-
mond pin and still another purse
The excitement only abated when Bow
ley was placed under arrest
The difficulty started near Fulton
street, when Bowley's transfer was Re-
jected. He refused to pay another "a
and was ordered from the car. Angfy
words followed and the electrician, it IS
said, drew his revolver when an at
tempt was made to put him or the car.
The motorman, Gus Olson, went to Still
wells assistance. and Bowley, IL is al
legged, turned the weapon on him and
pulled the trigger. The hammer did
not strike the cartridge sufficiently
hard to cause 1t to explode. and before
Bowley could try to use the revolver
again a passenger seized his arm
Motorman Olson then reached for his
controller and brought the handle down
on Bowley's head. BOwley released his
hOld on the revolver ana, leaplnS from
the car, started on a run along Full
ton street He was followed by an
ar CRY throng, and at Scott street Spe-
cial Officer George Delmer overpowered
him and placed him under arrest At
the park police station he was charged
with assault with a deadly weapon and
with battery.
When the trouble occurred the car
was crowded with passengers, many
Of whom were women The sight
of the revolver caused Mrs r. Little
and her companion to faint. and
several of the men jumped to
the street to get out OF the way
of the bullets which they expected
would hy After the trouble was over
IT was found that one woman had lost
her diamond pin and another her purse
during the commotion. Whether they
were dropped by their owners and att
erward picked up. or whether they wa~
stolen, is not known. ~

He now has the finished article on

at once become the most popular in

world. It is simplicity, itself, and is so
constructed that it will be an orna-

casion to use it. Mr.. Brewster has the
necessary financial backing to push his
invention and Introduce it. Tt is his
intention to have a large number man

working the United States. He has
every reason to believe that the thing
will be a success, as many persons in
position to know, have assured him
that it will fill a long felt want and
that he will have no trouble in dispos-

time unsurmountabIe. The success of

This variety Of pheasants resemble the

Pheasants are swift on the wing and
prefer to ,habituate the timber and
brush. The state law protecting these
birds is very strict. and any person
who kills one of them is taking desper-
ate chances on being prosecuted to the
limit Every one should remember this
fact, and also. as a matter of pride. as

Chicago. Oct. Representative of
eastern railroads belonging to the Cen
trail Passenger association are meeting
here today TO make changes in their
interchangeable mileage ticket. The
most important win be reducing the
price from $50 to SIS for a LOCO mile
ticket but the refund to be paid TO the
lively by him will be reduced from SO
to So, leaving the net rate the same as
it has been. 2 cents per mile.
While passenger officials of both
eastern and western roads are rejoicing
because the Erie and Pennsylvania
roads abandoned their intention OF sell
ing on November a mileage book good
for bearer at the fat rate of $50, the
inaugural ton of a fat rate Of 2 cents a
mile has only been postponed for prob
ably six months.
That the Indiana and Pennsylvania
Legislatures at their next session, VIII
pass laws making the maximum pas
Senger rate cents per mile Is cOnSid-
cred certain by officials of railroads in
those states. Officials of lines in Wis
consin and Iowa predict that similar
action will be taken by the legislatures
in those states. If the states east and
west of Illinois have such laws, the
roads in this state viii be compelled TO
adopt the same basis, regardless of the
action of the legislature.
A decrease of 80 1-3 per cent in the
maximum passenger rates of the rail-
roads betw zen the Missouri river and
the Atlantic coast will cost them mill
lions of dollars annually. The western
viii suffer most, because their pOpula-
ton is much less per mile of road than
in the eastern states. But for the stren-
uous protest Of the highest officials OF
the western roads the Erie and Penn
sylvania roads would have forced the
2 cent maximum rate as far west as the
Missouri river by the end of the year
When the 2 cent basis is forced upon
the railroads they will be compelled to
discontinue the interchangea bic mile-
age bureaus which have earned enough
with the clergy bureaus to defray- prac-
tica1ly the entire expenses of the Contra
and Western Passenger associations
There is no doubt, though, that the as
sociatiOns will be maintained.

COUNTS MONEY SURELY

Burton, Kan, Oct. 30.-Bert Brews-
ter returned last week from Ohio and
brought with him machine which he
has spent many weary days and nights
perfecting. 1t is an asserting and
counting machine and is to be used for
sorting and counting money in banks,
large stores or any place where much
coin is handled It's use does away
with the old method of counting mon
ev piece by piece-a method in vogue
since the time of the money changers
in the temple. spoken of in the scrip
lures.
Mr.. Brewster first conceived the
idea Of inventing such a machine
while employed in a bank at Hutchin-
son. He noticed that when anyone
had business with the bank that ne
cessitated counting OF coin. much val
liable time was wasted while the mon
ey was being counted After leaving
the bank, and while engaged in other
pursuits the idea chung TO him that a
quicker way OF counting and asserting
money should and could be devised.
So ne went to work and made his first
model. After giving it a thorough
test II proved unsa tisfactory; so he
dropped it and made another start
The second model was more of a sue
cess; still Mr.. Brewster was not sat
isfied, and he laid it aside and began
on his third and last machine. When
st was completed he took it to large
manufacturing firm at Cincinnati
Ohio, and ordered a finished machine
made. In the meantime, however. he
had taken the necessary steps to Dro-
tect his invention. The manufacturers
agreed to have the work completed i'm
