 MAN FROM MOB
kenOsha, Wis.,, Young Woman As- Saulted and Terribly Beaten by Drunken PluRlber-Latter Is Spir- tied Away by Police.

Chicago. Sept. 10.-As the result of savage attack in which she sustain ed more than 40 wounds Miss Anna Doherty, member of one of the old time families of kenosha, Wis, is in a critical condition in the Kenosha Hos pital.
 Henry Bushman, her confessed as- sailant, was hurried to Racine last night in a closed automobile to evade the crowds which thronged the streets. Twenty special policemen were sworn in, but proved intellectual in dispensing the street gatherings, and a cordon of regular police was drawn about the county jail with orders to prevent all persons from approaching nearer than one block. The act occurred yester- day. Miss Doherty was returning from a downtown medicine show to her home when Bushman. who was intoxi- cated. accosted her. When she start ed to run he caught her, gagged her with his free hand. dragged her nearly a quarter of a mile to deserted place. where he beat her into insensi- bilty.
 Miss Doherty, upon recovering con |sciousness, crawled to the home of John Dilweg, several blocks away,
 and from there was taken to the hospital. Bushman, who is plumb CTS helper. was found asleep in bed with double-barreled shotgun beside him. When he was taken before Miss
 Doherty she identified him without hesitation.

OF BANK DEPOSITS

George M Coffin, former deputy comptroller of the currency, has come forward as defender of the Demo- cratic declaration in favor of the guaranteeing of bank deposits. In a statement dated New York, MT. Coffin takes issue with san editorial in the New York Times on the subject of guaranteeing bank deposits. Mr. Golf fin shows the advantages to be deriv- ed by bank depositors in big cities from the Democratic plan of bank protection. He says in his article:
 Your editorial on Government Gaurantees is very interesting, and I trust it will start a serious discussion of two issues which are bound to lead tAa revision of the tariff and the guar antee of National bank deposits by the federal government Pec.use MT. Bryan advocates the latter, there is no re;s on why it should not be discussed fairly and sQuarely.
 And Mir. Bryan is not the only ad- Vocatc. for. at the last session of con- gross Mr Fowler, Republican chair man of the committee on banking and currency, introduced bill 12,677 which provided for the guarantee o. all in- d.vi1uGi deposits, and nj government 6epCssts without discrimination or preserenee.'

FOOD FOR THE TlGER-ONE ACT.
By EDWIN A. WYE.
Copyright. 1908, by Edwin A. Nye.

FOOD FOR THE TlGER-ONE ACT.
 This is q sketch for commonplace drama with dash of tragedy in 1t. Cast of characters:
 A repentant boy embeZzler.
 The boys mother-a widow.
 A busy and just judge.
 A common bucket shop keeper.
 It is recited how the stripling in the courtroom has been speculating on the board of trade, so called. He had an ambition to buy home for his mother. Early in the game the boy used his modest balance in the bank until 1t showed up fin red figures. He then took money belonging to the firm to margin his deals The deals failed The books showed the theft. The boy was arrested and put in jail.
 The mother sits near the boy in the courtroom-as near as she can get. She is a commonplace mother, gray haired and worn of face Anon a tear drops down her cheek. and falls un- needing on her calloused hands. Yes, she has told the judge in a plea for mercy-yes, her boy is guilty. but he did not mean to do it. Oh, no; he did not mean to do it.
 Enter the just judge to sit down in his easy cushioned swivel chair. Trag- edy or comedy, it is all part of the days work for him. He calls the case, hears the boys plea of guilty, looks into calf bound book, writes some thing in his docket Then he says to the boy:
 Stand up!'
 How pathetically slight in figure is the slip of lad!
 Have you anything to say?"
 The prisoner licks his dry lips and throws back his hair with boyish gesture
 "Nothing. your honor."
 'Then it is the judgment of this court that you be sentenced to serve five years at hard labor. I have made the entry in the docket And this court hopes. young man, you will have learned your lesson. Call the next case
 As the bailiff starts to lead the boy away there is a muffled scream of agony from the mother She lapses into unconSciousness. How provoking! The court must stop a few moments until a doctor Is called who takes the woman away in a cab. Provoking but
 You see. the boy is the only son of his mother. and she is widow.
 AS the curtain falls the bucket shop man is shown i'll the background en- gagged in selecting Persian rugs for his new and handsome town house

 This is no fancy sketch It is a transcript from a real life drama
 The bucket shop keeper furnished the tiger The boy furnished the food for the tiger. The judge furnished the convict. The mother furnished the boy.
