southbound Halsted street car were
panic stricken when a woman pushed
the mOtorman from the front platform
and ran the car at high speed for
nearly a mile. No stops were made
for passengers to get on or off and the
car collided with coal wagons and
other vehicles along the route. Sew
eral women in the car, thinking that
an insane person was at the lever,
became hysterical and had to be held
by the male passengers to prevent
them from leaping TO the street.
The woman who caused the terror
and excitement was Mrs. S. H. Chi
dester of Evergreen Park, fourteen
miles southwest of Chicago. She
started to catch a Grand Trunk train
at the Halsted and Forty-ninth streets

icemen are again in common pleas

land
Through the action of the circuit
court the convicted icemen, after serv-

to bond. Now the circuit court has
overruled motion of attorneys for
the icemen, who claimed the lower
court no longer had Jurisdiction in the
matter, and the case at once came be-
fore the common pleas court.
The point at issue is whether Judge
knkade, who gave the icemen the
maximum sentence, promised them
leniency2sif they entered.4ple of

between the judge and attorneys for
the ice trust and the attorneys must
now produce evidence to substantiate
their charges. If they fail the icemen

Madison, Wis, Aug. 1.-Two bullets
found in the head of Joseph Barden-
heir, the Madison jeweler whose body
was discovered in the woods near this
city, prove murder. One bullet was
fired into the right side of the head,
the other bullet into the back cf the
head. 1t is inferred that the murderer
came from Chicago, as a Chicago boy
was with the supposed farmer who
lured the jeweler into the country.
Detectives will go to Chicago for the
boy. One theory is that Bardenheir
was the victim of vendetta, as two
men were once sent to Joliet on his
testimony.
