to the sidewalk, to summon medical
aid with the idea that suicides life
might be saved and then to see the
supposed victim jump to his feet and
say: Il just wanted to fool the boys
was the experience of several people In
Durham yesterday.
An old resident of the city was
slightly intoxicated and while walking
down the street, whipped out a revol-
yer and fired two shots. He was seen
by great. many people who were on
the streets at the. time and they all
thought that he had suicided as he
plunged forward to the sidewalk.
When a crowd of sufficient size had
gathered around the PROSTATE form of
the man, calls had been sent in for a
doctor and an ambulance, the man sud
denly jumped up and informed the
crowd that it was all joke.

DEFY IN POLICE FIGHT

A wasonload of police from the east
police station in South Chicago were
rushed to Hegewisch and the police re-
serves were ordered TO hold themselves
ready for emergency service early to-
day when the foreman of the cIew of
800 men laying tracks at One Hundred
and Thirty-fOurth street and CONNER
cfnI avenue defied the police.
They declared that they would Law
their tracks In the city alleys despfte
the order to desist until a permit WINS
secured.
Police Rushed to Scene.
Policeman John Stanler ordered the
work stopped when the men appeared
on the scene early today. He was told
to Jump in the lake" Further defiant
protests preceded an order to the work
men to start the track laying.
A call was sent to the east side sta
ton and Sergeant Mulligan was soon
on the way with eight policemen Both
Aldermen representing the ward were
away at the time and in their absence
Mulligan declared that the work would
be stopped until some decision could
be arrived at as to the extend Of the
company's privilege to use the public
thoroughfares for track laying.
Defy Police Orders.
A clash was expected momentarily
as the railroad men were defiant and
declared that the extension of the line
would go on unimpeded, even IL it
were necessary to defy the whole police
force of the town.

bodies were held at the undertaking
establishment for some time pending
police investigation. and Mr. Brown
states that he does not know what
disposition was ever made of the bod
les. He says that they might have
been disposed of by his assistants and
they might not have been. When ask
ed If 1t was possible that his assistants
might have buried them under the
sidewalk in his shed, he admitted that
they might have done so, but did not
think 1t probable. His assistants, dur
Ing his eight years in South Chicago.
were Thomas Herson and John Nc
Cauly. both of whom are no longer
connected with the concern, nor are
they in South Chicago. Herson left
three or four years ago for Ohio, where
he now conducting a business of his
own. McCauley, the last man in the
employ of Mr.. Brown. left about a
year ago. 1t is not known where he
went.
Difficulty Facts Are Obtained.
While the above are the actual facts
in the matter, yet 1t was with difficulty
that they were ascertained. Both the
police and workmen in the vicinity
who are constructing the new build
ing. made all possible efforts to sup
press the matter and it was only
through the tact and ingenuity of THE
TIMES representatives that the details
were dug up.
After the ambulance physician at the
police station had examined the skulls
and pronounced them as such, one of
the workmen on the building had the
nerve to say that it was not skulls but
was cocoanut shells that were found.
