SMALL BOY SHOOTS BIG WOLF
Is Only II Years Old, But He Protects
Farm with Parents Away.

Crookston, Minn.-For cool-headed
heroism Henry Just, the 11-year-old
son of farmer living southeast of st.
Hilaire, deserves medal.
AS proof OF his bravery and prowess
he has the carcass of big timber wolf
which he will have mounted. When his
parents drove to town he was left on
the farm alone to keep the fire going
and look after things generally. To
ward nightfall he heard the shepherd
dog making big fuss back of the
stable, and upon investigation saw a
big timber wolf in a small pasture
fenced in with woven wire. The vol
had retreated to one corner where
it was being worried by the dog.
Returning to the house the boy got
his % rifle and shot the animal several
times, but the small bullet did not
seem to hurt the brute. The lad then
obtained aashotgun loaded with buck
shot, but was afraid to shoot for feaI
he would kill the dog, which was
closing in on the wolf.
Finally the lad returned to the
house and secured a big rife belong
ing to his father and with the first
bullet shot the wolf through the heart

MODEL HUSBANDS TO ORDER
Aim of New Eenedicts' Club Just
Formed in Gotham.

New York.-Mcdel husbands are to
be made while you wait (you may have
to wait a long while) by the Bene-
diets club, which has just been
formed.
1t is called the Benedicts' club, but
is really training school for matri-
mony. At present it numbers 20 mem
bers, who have banded themselves to-
gether for the purpose OF studying
how to make themselves into ideal
husbands for their ideal women.
The club meets every Tuesday night
in the Harlem branch Of the Y. M. G,
A., and a lecture is delivered by a
specialist on whatever branch of the
art of being happy. though married in
which he happens to be versed.
Some of the members are actual
benedicts who have joined the new
training school for husbands in the
hope of becoming more proficient in
living up to their wives ideals, but
the majority are still unmarried and
have entered the club merely as pos
sible candidates for matrimony.
Among the actual benedicts in the
organization is it's vice-president, F
w. Wheeler, who is connected with
the Interborough railroad. The presi
dent, w. F. Randolph, lawyer OF
about 80, is unmarried, however. And
so, too, is the secretary and treasurer
w. H. Stillman.

Protected Games Get Cash Sent 70
Pay for WIfe's Funeral.

Denver, Col.--Another victim OF the
gambling bells of Denver has reaped
the rewards Of the system.
The gamblers syndicate has I'M
blushingly taken the very money from
its victim which was to pay the last
cost for conveying the dead body OF a
woman to its grave.
A man by the name Of Breese, VINO
was here from Auburn, N. r., for his
wifes health, was the last victim to
fall into the clutches of the syndicate.
Bled OF every dollar he possessed, des-
peration stared him in the face when
his wife died from consumption. With
out even money to pay for her burial
shroud, he went to the last ditch when
friends in Auburn sent him 500 with
which to purchase ticket for himself
and the remains of his wife hack
home.
The temptations of the open gam
bling den with its Unchallenged inVi-
tation to ruin were too strong. The
500 went to the men who never lost.
His baggage followed. His watch ana
everything he possessed fell into the
gaping jaws of the syndicate and the
remains of his dead wife lay in local
undertaking rooms, Every effort was
made to hush up the case for fear OF
exposure. The money was provided to
get the victim out Of town, and he was
sent on his way where they thought
his tale would never be known.

Policeman Sees Lorenzo Russo
Fire Bullets Into Body OF
Feda CiociOIa.
WOUNDED MAN HAD
USED RAZOR ON OTHER
Remark Made About Ciociola's
Wife Said to Have Pre-
cipitated Trouble.

Trouble, which originated at a
Thanksgiving dinner, led to the shoot
ing today of Feda Ciociola, aged 30
years, of 20 Boyden street, while his
alleged assailant, Lorenzo Russo, aged
20 years, of the same address, received
a razor cash that extends the full
length of his face. Both the men are
confined to the City Hospital, where 1t
was said today that, although Ciociola
had two bullet wounds, one in his body
and another in his neck. he would re-
cover. Joseph Russo, uncle Of Lorenzo,
is confined in the Second Precinct sta
ton for completely in the affair.
According to the story told the po-
lice. the trouble started because of an
alleged remark made by Russo con-
cerning Ciociola's wife. The quarrel
was resumed this morning before the
men left the house for their work, and
during an alteration Lorenzo Russo
vas slashed with a razor.
In company with his uncle, Russo left
the house and waited on Lemon street
for his alleged assailant to pass. Po-
Precinct had just come off duty and
witnessed the shooting from his home
at 10 Boyden street, Hearn said that
when Clocoila approached he was
seized by Joseph Russo and thrown TO
the ground, where he was held while
Lorenzo fred two shots into his pros
trate body.
Hurrying to the street, Hearn placed
Joseph Russo under arrest and Cio-
ciola was hurried to the City Hospital.
After the shooting, Lorenzo Russo made
his way to the Second Precinct station
and was in the act of having warrant
issued for the arrest of Ciociola when
he was placed under arrest.
A search of Russo's house after the
shooting brought to light seven pairs
of cutting shears and quantity OF
leather, which he is believed to have
stolen from the Hamburg Cordovan
Leather Company's plant on Sussex
avenue, where he had been employed.

TOO MUCH BIRD

BOLD BURGLARS
John F. BOilan Fired His Gun
and Summoned Police to
His Home. 1
NElGHBORS SURROUND
HOUSE IN NIGHTIES
Explained Afterwards That 1t
Was Only the Servant
Girl Coming Home.

\ The strange habits of the servant girl
IN the household of John F. Boilan, of
"a South street, the acute hearing of
Mr.. Boilan himself whose auditory
nerves works while he sleeps, the bark
of the family gun and the subsequent
injury to the family dining table formed
the basis of a. one-act farce in real life
at 230 a. m. today in the neighborhood
of Mr.. Boilan's home.
The curtain rang down half an hour
later with Boilan in his robe-de- mutt,
gun In hand, standing upon the front
porch of his domicile with unsympa-
thetic neighbors. dressed in sleeping
costumes with headgear to match, like
wise equipped with young artillery,
standing around him. In the distance,
heading for Washington and Court
streets, is seen the "Black Maria of
the police department in which are
seated Policeman Henry and Detective
CORDIALLY.
Early today the telephone at police
headquarters rang long and loudly To
Desk Sergeant Tracy, who answered,
the man at the other end confided his
belief that a burglar was in the house.
The voice said its owners name was
Boilan and gave the South street adj
dress.
When the patrol wagon, containing
Henry and CORDIALLY, reached the scene,
Boilan had cleared the deck for action,
unlimbered his trusty gun and fired at
the front door from the inside. He said
that he did this because he was awak
ened by the sound of footsteps In the
dining-room and when he glanced out
the window of his room on the Sec
ond floor, saw that the dining-roor1 was
brilliant with gaslight. He crept to the
head of the stairs and fired. The bull
let glanced and made a serious wound
in the leg of the dining table.
AS Boilan declared the burglar was
In the house, CORDIALLY and Henry made
close examination of the premises
They found nothing. CORDIALLY, believ
ing himself hoaxed. asked Boilan II he
often suffered with nightmare. The
latter waxed confidential and, request
ing the police to say nothing OF the in
cident, declared that he was now con-
vinced that the trouble had bern
caused by the servant girls going
downstairs.
Meantime the neighbors. who had
surrounded the house, were shivering
In their nighties outside.
CORDIALLY wanted to see the servant
girl and get her version, but Boilan de
clared that this was impossible. And
the patrol wagon drove slowly away.
