turn trip to Iowa. On reaching CHI
cago a few days ago young Higbee

the party hurried to apartments at
the Auditorium Annex. It was while
there that Dr. e. NJ Elliot informed
the mother that nothing less than
the infusion Of the blood of strong,
healthy person into the body OF the
patient would be of any avail.
Then you may use my blood"
said the mother, in as calm voice
as If iss;ie had offered to visit drug
store to purchase medicine.

After preliminary examination,
In which 1T was learned that the blood
of the mother and son was sufficiently
alike in point of quantity Of cor
puscles to have no deleterions effect
upon the patient, the operation was
nreformed. Both mother and son
were given gas, slender silver tupe
was inserted in an artery in Mrs.
Higbee's arm, and the free end OF
the tube was placed in a freshly
opened artery In the arm OF the

Family Cheer Prisoner.
The excellent character and con-
stant philanthrophy of the Western
Federation of Miners, the patient suf-
fering of labor under the lash of capt.
tai, and the perjury and perfidy Of
Harry Orchard were the main points
made by Richardson during the morn
ing.
In spite of the sweltering atmos-
phere every seat in the court room
was occupied. Haywood's mother sat
beside the. prisoner and his invalid
wife, daughter, sister and stepfather
composed the family group.
Richardson has subdiyided his argu.
ment under eleven heads which he
enumerates to the jury. 1t is probable
the argument will take two days.
The Denver lawyer expects to speak
eight or ten hours. 1t Is probable,
therefore that Mr.Darrow will not
commence his closing argument before

CHEF FURNISS ARRESTS
AN OBSTREPEROUS NEGRO

Chief Furniss yesterday afternoon
had the time of his Ii 70 in trying to
take William Moore. an obstrepcrous
negro to the city Jail. The fellow
WAS drunk on the street and making
himself generally obnoxious to people
on tho sidewalk. He WAS ugly drunk
and insulting to the extreme. In try
ing to get the fellow to the Jail, the
officer dragged him fifteen feet on
the walk. showed him over three times
and then finally called an express
wagon and loaded him in. Moore
figured it out that an express wagon
WAS not good enough for him TO ride
In and tried to break away from the
officer. but Officer Furniss sat upon
him and held tho bully down until
the Jail WAS reached, where ID requir-
cd tho efforts Of four mon to land him
behind the bars.
The daily tribune., 1907-11-19

Magistrate Johnston this morning and
was fined Is, but he said he wouldn't
pay the fine and then the Judge

him to ten days at hard work on the

ness, tho officer tied IA ball and chain
to his right leg and placed him In
charge Of Acting Street Commission
or Van Wye. When Moore WAS
searched at the city Jail n razor, not
in n case, was found In his pockets.
