that was the most he could hope for
in the way of womanhood, and even
in his prosperous days he had been
fastidious, demanding much of, giving
much to, the sex. He remembered a
commemoration day at Oxford only
a year ago, one of those sweet sad
memories which early spring boards
up to make bearable the winter-line
of age. Two days of laughter, dancing
and boating. A girl with red-gold hair,
and blue eyes responsive to every
mood of youth. A girl whose title and
position put her beyond his reach,
and, therefore, by the very hopeless
ness Of his alteration, added an addi-
tional rapture to its pangs, inspiring
him to burn incense of poetry at her
shrine; end one poem, sadder than
the rest, he had sent her, written on
the back of his photograph Perhaps
if she heard of his tragic death she
would spare him thought from the
fashionable gaiety in which the pa
pers pictured her as moving.
Yes, it must be death. But how?
Should he throw himself into the riv.
er? Someone might pull him out after
he had gone through all the agony
Under a train? Someone might pull
him away, or, at any rate, a good deal
of him; and he hadn't the price OF
poison, nor the privacy necessary for
cutting his throat Death? Yes! But
how to achieve it?

PUBLIC WARNED AGAINST
GANG OF NIGHT THIEVES
Numerous Complaints Made of Rugs,
Chairs and Other Articles of Fur
niture Being Stolen from
Porches

Because of the number of thefts of
rugs, chairs and other articles of fur
niture left on front porches during the
night, the detective bureau issued a
bulletin yesterday warning residents
not to leave such articles out at nights.
From the number of complaints that
have been made to the police it is evil
dent that an organized gang has been
operating in this city.
The furniture, hammocks, rugs, ETC.,
are taken away by light wagon and
two men. One man remains on the
wagon, while the other carries the
articles from the porch to the vehicle.
They visit a number of places each
night, and only cease when they have
a wagonload of plunder.
The last report by a victim of this
gang was made by L. w. Briggs, 14UO
Kellam avenue. He stated that two
rocking chairs were taken from his
front porch Monday night.
While J. w. Patrick and William H.
Eddy of $40 Westlake avenue We're en-

When everything was finished and
the council had adjourned, though the

WIDEMAN DEFENDS HIRING
OF MINORS AS OFFICERS
AND USE OF DECOY DOGS

Wallace Wideman, attorney for DOG
Catcher Vacher, filed his brief in the
case in answer to Attorney Grant
jackson, who conducted the prosecu-
ton against Vacher on charges pre-
ferred by Mrs. L. e. Giese.
In his answer to the brief submitted
by Attorney Jackson, Wideman makes
general denial of many of the
charges, seeks to discredt much of the
evidence given and the witnesses VINO
gave it and calls the opposing counsePs S
brief meaningless, a monument of gen.
eralities and the fruit of misapprehen-
sion or of misconstruction of evidence.
The only charge Wideman pretends
to answer is that OF Vacher swearing
in minors as his deputies. He declares
the law does not provide that such
deputies shall be over 21 years of age
and that the dog catcher's deputies are
not amenable to the law providing for
the appointment of civil officers as
they are in no sense civil officers, but
private assistants of the dog catcher,
paid by him out of his OVID pocket.
AS to the charge that decoy dogs
were used, Wideman says there is no
law prohibiting the use of decoy dogs,
that the dog catcher Is supposed to
catch all unlicensed dogs and has the
privilege of using any means he
chooses to do so provided such means
are humane.
In conclusion he asks complete vim
dication of his client.
