r. c. Bryant Knocked Through Window, Recovers and
Pummels His Assaants Right Merrily ..-Bryant
Claims He Was Touched for $50

about five minutes. Being clad only
in his underclothes, with bare feet
the cold air soon revived him ano
he arose to his feet. He glanced al
the office door of the hotel and then
looked at the window where he saw
the reflection of a man standing on
the inside, near the door.
Bryant cautiously opened the
door and ducked his head as he en-
tered, which action probably saved
him from a more serious injury, for
as he entered, the party inside the
room struck powerful blow at
him.
Bryant let out his good right arm
with tremendous force aud caught
the assailant squarely on the jaw,
flooring him and putting him clear
out of business.
Another party, who was in the
room at the time, took hand in the
fray and struck Bryant, and he was
also given a "wallop'' and started
for the stairway, followed by we'll
aimed heaVe of a spittOOn from the
hands of Bryant. This fellow made
his escape. Bryant took look at
the man on the floor and found
that he was Thomas Peterson, who
has been attending bar in the Lake
shore hotel for Ole Anderson for
some time past. The man who made
his escape was Mike Shea, hanger
on at the hotel.
When Shea left the building he
went to the police headquarters and
told the police that there was a
crazy man at the Lakeshore hotel.
George Deneley, night police, went
down to investigate. Deneley went
to Bryant's room, and found that
someone had ransacked the room
and taken the money from Bryant's
pants. They went down stairs,

But for his extensive knowledge
of the manly art of self defense
and his ability to care for himsel
under all conditions, r. c. Bryant
who came to this city last evening
for a visit with relatives, woulc
have received serious, if not fatal
injuries at the hands of two holduE
artists, on whom he turned the
tables and gave sound thrashing
Mr.. Bryant, who recently returned
from Alaska, had just come to the
city last evening from visit with
his parents at Jenkins, near Brain
erd. He secured a room at the
Lakeshore hotel, where he intended
to spend the night, with the inten-
ton of today visiting with relatives
in this city.
Bryant retired to his room at
about 10:45 last evening and after
disrobing and extinguishing the
lamp, retired for the night. He had
with him in the pockets of his pants
a sum of money estimated to have
been betweenS75 and $50. He lock-
ed the door of his room and placed
his pants under his pillow for safe
keeping, and was soon lost in the
deep sleep that comes to healthy
man, who has a clear conscience.
Bayant stated that he slept
soundly until about l O'Clock,
when he was awakened by someone
turning a key in the door of his
bedroom. He got up from the bed
to investigate, and as he did so,
man hastily entered the room and
struck him. The force of the blow
sent Bryant against the window, his
body striking the sash with such
force that he went through the pane
of glass and fell to to the pavement
some 10 feet below. The fall TUNED

nounced to be in order and Mr.. New,
who had presided up to this time. re-
tired. When he left the hall Senator
Crane of Massachusetts, took the floor
and placed Mr.. New in nomination,
simply saying that Mr.. News serv.
Ices had been so satisfactory and his
treatment of all members Of the com.
mittee so courteous that the commit
tee owed It to itself to elect him.
Mr.. Lyon of Texas seconded the
nomination. There being no other
names before the committee Mr.. New
was unanimously chosen to fill out
the term, which will make it neces-
sary for him to prepare for the hold
Ing of the national convention and to
call it to order
Mr.. New was then escorted to the
meeting room by a COMMITTEES and
briefly thanked the members for the
honor conferred onahim.

From the time the referee blew

the game was very fast one, in
fact the plays followed each other
so rapidly that fumbling and fouls
were very frequent and the two
officials were given plenty to do in

free throw, Phifer making an easy

1.-THE RAMBLERS" AT CITY
OPERA HOUSE TONIGHT
Hight Class Attraction Secured for Be-
midi Theatergoers. First Time
Play Produced Here.

An eminent American physician
in recent interview said: L pre-
scribe the theatre as a means of
recreation to overworked, nervous
and debilitated patients in similar
manner to what would an outing
or any other change of environment.
Stand at the door of the theatre
when the throng seeks admission,
watch the faces that enter and you
will see lines of care and lassitude.
Within few hours these same indi-
viduals issue forth refreshed and
invigorated." He evidently referred
to the entertainment furnished by
The Ramblers," which will be seen
at the City Opera House Saturday,
December Z. Farce comedy being
traditionally the spice Of life, it is
always pleasure to recognize and
to welcome indications of a change
in the regular sources of recreation.
This is musical farce comedy,
full of climaxes fittingly arranged.
The comedy element stands out
strong and the dialogue is crisp and
lively. The musical numbers include
much clever scoring, girls young and
laughing, display an extravaganza
of elegant costumes beautifully har-
monized in color, we'll designed and
rich in material, while singing capti-
waiting airs with their refrain and
movement. From previous reports,
this company is accredited with
being unsurpassable and should
without doubt give everybody their
moneys worth.

A Grateful Sufferer Of Waterbury Calls Up
 on Vurpillat to
EXTEND HER THANKS
The Office in the New Buck. ingham Will Be Kept Open
 Sunday.

Yesterday Miss Katherine Sweeney of 43 Center street with her aunt call- ed upon the Great Vurpillat, bringing with her monster tape worm. Up- on seeing the philanthropist, to the astonishment of those in the office she exhibited the tape worm and said: For number of years 1 have been suffered from stomach and liver trouble and my misery was intense. l con- stantly had that tired feeling and my sleep would do me nc good. My appetite at times was ravenous and at other times the sight of food was repulsive to me. I had pains across the small of my back and was unfit for any of my home duties. My aunt purchased package of the New Dis covery and after l had taken q few doses of 1t passed this tape worm. I had taken number of remedies for my stomach trouble as I thought but could obtain no relief whatever, and was on the point of despair. The sight of it squirming about was enough to convince me that all my troubles were caused by this tape worm. I am now convinced that I have finally been re- stored 10 good health and I know owe 1t to this most wonderful of all remedies, and I shall always have words of praise for it."
 A gentleman by the name of Mir Ed Healey of McEvoy's livery stable, testifies to the merits of the New Dis covery. For years he had suffered with deafness and had not been ablc to get any relief. It was through the agency of this remedy that his bear- ing was so greatly helped.
 Mir Dennis Synnott of 305 Baldwin street stated that one application re- lieved the pain in his wrist that be had sprained five years ago and had suffered with ever since.
 The office in the new Buckingham building will be kept open Sunday from 9 a. m. to 3 p. m. when consult tation and examination are free to all.
