Lives Near Elgin


Lives Near Elgin
Willie's condition was discovered by
the American Home Finding associa-
ton, No. 167 Dearborn street, Chicago,
through one Of it's agents, Miss N. M
Stiles. She came upon him at his
wilderness abode, near Elgin, while
he was partaking of what he regards
as a sumptuous repast of raw fish.
the hardships en-
dured during his strange existence, the
boy, according to Miss Stiles enjoyed
and is now in perfect health.
Benthusen's means for securing sub
sistence consisted of a blow gun, q
sling and a bent pin attached to a fish
line. With these he has had no trouble
in obtaining his daily supply of food,
and 1t must have been ample, for he
has hearty appetite. To garb him
self he traded birds and fish to rural
travellers for CASTOR clothing.
Miss stiles at once reported to the
prototype of Robinson Crusoe, and
while awaiting instructions drove out
the next day to the place Willie de-
scribed as his home. She took with
her a small hamper well stocked with
good fresh bread, cooked meats, cake
and jellies, prepared for the home
table. She found that the edibles she
had taken to him remained untouched,
while the feathers and bones of birds
and the fins and scales of fish lying
around showed that he had eaten
heartily of his accustomed diet.
Miss Stiles notified the authorities of
Elgin of the case of the boy, but
pending action by them in the Juvenile

entirely aloof from the rest of man
kind. Spending his days in the woods
and sleeping on bed of straw at
night, the strange lad has spent his
time happily kaccording to his own
notions. His parents, until the death
of Willie's mother, lived in Elgin, Ill.
When his mother died, abandoned by
his father, the boy took to the nearby

ing room.
With the physicians Deputy Sher-
if Grant examined the wounds and
discovered there were four places
where bullets entered the mans
body. The three bullets in the body
were removed. Nolasaki will not re-
cover, although it was reported at
the hospital he would live through
the night.
II the man dies Matsuii will be
held for murder. His record is by
no means the best.
Two years he served in the peni-
Tertiary for shooting a japanese Ia
Dor contractor in Seattle.
Once he was tried on an attempte ]
murder charge in Pasco, and about
two weeks ago 1t Is reported he
chased man down first street, and
while so doing was brandishing a
big knife. He has worked for some
time at the Washington bar and was
always apparently quiet and better
sort of a Jap.
At the county jail he had no state
ment to make.
Nolasaki retained consciousness
during the day and stated that the
trouble arose over a glass of beer.
He claims that he spilled some of
the dring and few words arose be-
tween him and Charlie, although he
stated neither of them were angry.
Charlie left and the next he knew of
his whereabouts he heard him COM
ing up the stairs and the firing COM
menced.
1t is stated that there was wo-
man in the case and that Jealousy
arising over the infatuation of No
lasaki and Matsuii for the same
white woman, who lodged over the
Togo restaurant, was the cause of
the shooting, but this is denied by
both the japanese.
Matsuii after the shooting immedi-
ately left the Togo cafe and went to
the U. S. cafe, located in the re-
stricted district. There he hid his
gun and returned to the scene of his
crime. He was found by the officers
in the lavatory Of the cafe and was
Immediately placed under arrest.

Charles Matsuii, a Jap. made his
third attempt at murder early Mon.
day morning when he fired four bull
lets into Frank Nolaski. The shoot
ing occurred about 1880 o'clock, in
the rooms above the Togo cafe on
South First street, adjoining the
Varian building. The trouble started
over the splitting of glass of beer, it
Il claimed. and Matsuii left Nolasaki,
going to the Washington bar, where
he has been employed as porter,
securing Proprietor Charles Conners

Not finding Nolasaki in the res
taurant ne went to the rooms above
Nolasaki, with two companions, had
locked themselves into room No. 4
when they heard Matsuii, James Fu-
gil and another Jap approaching on
the stairs.
Matsuii attempted to enter room
6, but failing, fumbled with the lock
on room 4. The proprietor Of the
Togo cafe, who was in the room at
the time, stepped quickly into the
hall, asking Matsuii what he wished
Il want TO speak with Frank he
said.
The proprietor claims he eau
toned Matsuii TO leave, stating that
he did not want any trouble about
the place. Suddenly Matsuii raised
his gun, 32-caliber Colt, and fret
through the door Then rushing to
the window he showed his hand
through the glass. badly cutting his
wrist. He fired through the window
three times. All four bullets entered
Nolaski's body, three in the left hip
and the other in the abdomen, the
latter probably being the bullet fired
through the door.
All of the Japanese had been
drinking some, but were not greatly
intoxicated.
Officers Storey and Needham i'm

short time later Officers Storey and
Millican took James Fugii into Gus

him to shoot.

Fruit shipments py express Mon
day night were beyond all expecta-
tons, as the weather had been so
cool and the heavy rain Sunday night
foreboded little doing in the way OF
picking. However, the sun came out

the fruit began to ripen so rapidly
that the growers found it necessary,
despite the fact that it was a holi-
day, to get the fruit into boxes and

The following express shipments

about 5000 boxes over the ship

OPINIONS DIFFER AS ID NEW CODE BILL How Will it Affect Greater
 Birmingham HAS AMENDMENTS GALORE City Attorney Smith and Colonel s. w. John Hold Opposing Views as to Effect on the Enlarged
 City.
HAS AMENDMENTS GALORE

There is decided difference of opinion as to the provisions of the new municipal code, and especially as to how It will af- feet Greater Birmingham. Amendments are numerous; in fact, it apepars as If every member of the legislature stuck an amendment onto the bill, and each one claims that his particular amendment overrules everything else. Just how many wards and aldermen Greater Rir mingham will have is still a matter of mystery.
 The bill orinigally provided that there should not be over fifteen aldermen, in cludlng the president of the council. who would be elected by the city at large. Col Sam VIII John then had an amend ment passed which provided these fifteen aldermen in cities of 0.ooo population, and one additional alderman for every 40o1 people over 5o,O0O.
 Birmingham, however wanted to retain her present system and had an amend ment mado to section 16, which is ex- plained in the following interview with City Attorney Ed Smith:
 There is an amendment to section li, which makes 1t optional as to whether T not cities with over 95. .O00 population shall retain their present ward divisions, with two aldermen from each ward. and an or- dinanee was introduced at the last meet ing of the Birmingham council providing for the adoption of this amendment. This ordinance will come up at the next meet ing.
 The matter of dividing Greater Bir- mlngham up into wards will be left with the Birmingham council, and the enlarged city will be divided into fourteen to twen ty wards with two aldermen from each ward"
 ? Colonel John is also sure that hls amendment controls the case of Greater Birmingham, and that there will be about thirty wards with one alderman from each ward.
 In addition to these features there fs also an amendment providing for any number of recorders, and another amend- ment stuck onto tho bill by Governor Conner saying that no alderman can con- tract with the city.
 The plot is getting thicker and the peo- pie are anxiously awaiting the explana- ton of the mystery.

Another terrific explosion last night tore away portion of the Jefferson Powder company's plant at about S:15 o'clock. but did not injure any of the employees. It was one of the most spectacular explo- sions that has occurred for some time.
 The whole northern horizon seemed on fire for a few seconds and people in North Birmingham thought everything In that neighborhood was burning The noise was heard for miles around and the light was seen by people on the streets in Birmingham. There was lit tie resistance to the powder, which went into tho air, causing only slight shock
 Tle glazing house was completely de- stroyed not a splinter being left on the site It was a two-story frame structure valued at about $700 and contained 300 kegs of powder, amounting in value to $375
 There were only three persons on the premises, the watchman, engineer and the foreman, l. l.. Wineman. MT Wine man was within 300 feet of the building, an4 would have entered 1t about ten minutes later The watchman might have also passed at any minute.
 The explosion was caused by some worn gearing getting hot. The powder was undergoing the process of being glazed, and was in the barrels which are used for that purpose. The shock also tore away parts of the motor rooms adjoining, but cid not damage any machinery. Hundreds were attracted from the vicinity and many of them fell to work and kept the flames from spreading
