Henry b. Duryea. Running Waters new

a leading place this season among winning
owners, but Trainer John .HugginS the
Texas turfman. every little while pulls off
a race for his employer at long odds that

more, too. Prince Hampton's recent record
success at a mile and three-quatters on
the grass in 2.jS 40 was marked by a solid
stable coup, Mr.. Duryea getting much

$4,000 on the race.
The next day Mr.. Duryea bought Running
Water with $1,000 of his winnings and
started to win her out against Dandelion
and others in the 5000 Oriental handicap

Inspector Shippy, who was captain of
the South Chicago station for a num-

qualities and his ability as a police

Death of Mrs. Henry HIATT.

Mrs. Fannie HIATT, beloved wife of
Henry HIATT died Sunday morning at
1915 o'clock. She was taken sick a
week ago suffering from pneumonia.

ence could do to aid her. Mrs Fannie

ertsdale's most respected citizens, but
now of Palos Park, Ill. She was born
in Chicago, March 8, 1880, and was
united in marriage to Henry HIATT, Feb.
81, 1897 Besides her parents, a broth
er and a sister who survive her, she
leaves a husband and two children,
Louise, aged seven. and an infant son.
The funeral services will take place
Tuesday at l o'clock at the German
Evangelical church IN Indiana boule-
ward and 119th street. Mrs. HIATT
leaves many friends here who extend
their heartfelt sympathy to the en-
tire family in their great bereavement.

KNOTTY PROBLEM
FOR CITY JUDGE
Girl Charged With Pursuing
Young Man Thought to
be Insane.

Is woman necessarily insane be-
cause she pursues a man who doesn't
love her and wants to marry him?
This is the problem that was put up to
Judge Girten in the South Chicago city
court this morning when Lena Ritter.
"a years old, was brought before him
on complaint of Charles Krewitz. ST..
1O012 Commercial avenue The Judge
confessed his inability to decide upon
the question of the young woman's
sanity an dcontinued the case two days
to permit an examination to be made
by an alienist.
The young woman was taken from
the home OF Mr.. Krewitz Saturday
night by the patrol wagon after she
had refused to go home. In his testi-
mony this morning Mr.. Krewitz stated
that he had employed the Miss Ritter
at various times in the past as
domestic, and that she had conceived
sentiment for his son, Charles Kre-
WITT, Jr., which the young man did not
return. After being discharged from
her position, the young woman fire.
quently called at the Krewitz home
and pestered the younger Krewitz with
demonstrations 70 her regard for him
Last Saturday she called and removed
her hat and jacket and declared her
intention of remaining, whereupon Mr.
Krewitz called the wagon.
The Ritter girl told the court that
she was under an irresistible spell and
could not keep away, and that young
Krewitz exercised an influence over her
that she could not overcome. She de-
clared that she was sure the young man
loved her, and it was not her fault that
she went to the house where he lived.
Other testimony was offered to prove
that the young woman was a frequent
caller at the market operated by the
Krewitzes, and that her conduct while
there was frequently embarrassing to
the younger Krewitz. At the conclu-
sion of the hearing the case was con-
tinued for two days so that the young
woman might be examined to determine
her mental condition.
