Pittsburg, March 24.-Today as the
result OF a practical joke, by big
policeman Dave Lennox, one whiskey
bum is dead and our others are dying,
while physicians barely saved the
lives of several others.
Lennox assembled a dozen hard
looking cases on his beat and lined
them up at a bar and told them to
drink all they could hold. the stipula-
ton being that none was to stop under
ten full whiskey straights.
One dropped at the bar dead while
emptying his ninth glass; four were
taken to the hospital in a patrol wagon
and will die, it is said.
Dave has disappeared and the police
