Brute Who Had Maltreated
Small Boy Defies Police and
Then Cuts His Throat.
UNARMtD; HOLDS Off POLICE
Threatened to Shoot, but When Officers
Dash Into Building Man Is
Found Dying.

Chicago, Sept. 16.-Threatened with
people and to balk arrest, an unidenti-
fed man who had maltreated a five
year-old boy, cut his throat with a
razor last evening and died.
The suicide occurred in the base
ment of a vacant building at 1872 Jack
son boulevard. where the attack upon
the child had been committed, just As
a wagon load of policemen whirle1
up to the curb.
A few moments before the desperate
man, cornered, threatened to shoot the
first person who appeared at the base
ment entrance. 1t was an idle threat,
for he had no firearms, but it kept the
crowd and policemen at bay.
Lawrence Bresnau, not quite five
years old, son of John Bresnau, a rail
road employe, was the victim of the
ill treatment.
Come along with me, sonny" the
man said, taking him by the hand
Here's a nickel. 'Tll get some can
dy for you"
ouSPCCtcO NOtT'n9.
The boy confidently took the hand
of the stranger, who took him to the
vacant building. He led him down
under the billboards and into the base,
ment of the building. A few persons
in the street saw them disappear. A
crowd soon collected.
Call the police" said several.
Sergeant l.. J. Tuohy and Robert
Graham pushed their way through the
crowd and called out:
What are you doing down there?'
At that instant the boy came out OF
the basement and the man shouted:
I'll shoot the first who enters"
The policemen stood irresolute. M
one cared to face a fullet from the
weapon of a desperate man.
Kill the BRUTE" shouted some one.
I'll get a rope if you'll watch the
place." said a man who shouldered his
way through the crowd.
Suicide Saved Him.
Meanwhile an alarm had been turn.

loaded with bluecoats came dashins

drawn, made their way to the base.

No need to fear a bullet there.
The stranger lay gasping in a dark
corner.
He had slashed his right wrist with
a razor and then cut his throat sc

FORTY CRUSHED IN WRECK.
Two Killed Outright, Three Fatally
and Over Thirty Seriously Injured.

wv NIiSu OutTI9ul, tnFSe Fatally
and Over Thirty Seriously Injured.
Chicago, Sept. Is. Two persons
We're killed outright, three are dying
and upward Of forty were seriously in
jured early yesterday when a Lake
Shore theater train ran into the rear
end of a crowded excursion train in a
heavy fog at Chesterton, Ind. The
dying are three women, who were so
badly crushed that they are unable to
tell their names or give an account
of themselves.
Excursionists Suffer Most.
The crash occurred after midnight,
and the darkness and fog made it diff
ficult to tell what happered. The in
jured were all on the excursion train
which left Chicago with excursionists
returning to Laporte and Indianapo-
lis.
Passengers say the train made slow
time, stopping at many way stations,
and seemed to be running on an irrag-
ular schedule. At C%hesterton, Ind,
about twenty miles west of Laporte,
the train stopped again, apparently
waiting for another train to pass.
Rear Car Badly Wrecked.
Suddenly, without warning, there
was a shrill whistle and a crash. and
an e%ast-bound Lake Shore theater
train running on the same track ran
into the real of the excursion train.
The engine of the accommodation was
wrecked and the rear coach of the e.
cursion train almost demolished. This
car was partially t%elescoped.
The crash came so suddenly that
the excursionists in the rear car had
no opportunity to escape, and MANY.
especially those in the rear of the ca,
were caught in the, wreckage AMI
crushed.
Due to Forest Fires.
The wreck was caused by the en-.
gineer Of the theater train running
past an automatic switch signal. The
darkness and the smoke from the
hres SO obscured the view that he was

he answered, lamely. But cannot we
go somewhere and have a talk?"
But why should you want to talk
to me?" she asked, the warm color
mounting to her face. Il am your en-

Neither my present nor my future

said. Nor yours to me-"
Surely you cannot mean that, Miss
West" he said, slowly and solemnly.
''Have the events of last November
passed so completely out of your
mind? Does no pleasant memory of
Mawgan Chase-of my sister-linger
in your hearth"
It was her turn to protest now. Her
eyes filled with tears in a moment n
her lips %quivered.
"You must not talk like that to me-
she said, humbly. Il cannot Dear 1t.
I would lay down my life for your sis

SO good to me. But that makes the
burden all the heavier. I am humbled

For a moment or two he did not
speak. He saw the barrier as clearly
as she did, and he saw no way of re-
moving it.
They had been walking slowly tod
wards Oxford street, and neither OF
them REALIZED how far they had gone.
Suddenly she stopped and her face
became hard and set.

he could recover from his astonish-
ment she had turned on her heel and
had almost disappeared in the crowd.

DISCOVERIES AT kNOSsOS.
Results Of This Years Excavations by
Dr.. Evans in Crete.

May I beg a little space to inform
those interested in Cretan explora-
ton OF a series of discoveries lately
made at Knossos? The news from DR..
Evans is exceedingly good. He has
been working all the season in the
large house which lies to the west of
the palace, but unfortunately is deeply
buried under the talus of a hill. With
great labor DR.. Evans has now reach
ed the further limit of this building,
and on his way has found much. A
magnificent steatite vase in the shape
of a bulls head, with inlay of cut shell
about the nostrils, and with crystal
eyeballs, the iris being painted on the
back of the crystal. reveals to us .
new technic.
In another quarter. on the north. a
great hoard of bronze implements and
utensils, including a large tripod
much increase u knowledge of the
finer domestic apparatus of Minoan
civilization. AS DR.. Evans speaks of
having unearthed a great number OF
early vases with these tools. there
should be no difficulty in dating the
latter and thereby getting standard
! forms.
On the south of the palace a range
OF buildings has been found at a lower
level, largely buried under debris of
the palace itself. The latter included
a mass Of ivory fragments, the re-
mains of carved caskets and of fresco
paintings. Inside the. south building
itself, under a staircase, a small hoard
OF silver vessels has come to light
some bowls and a jug. These will
be welcomed as first fruits of that
work in precious metals which SO
greatly Influenced the ceramic artists
Of the middle Minoan periods but has
generally disappeared. We hear, too,
OF fine vases of various kinds, one
with papyrus plant ornament in re-
lief and others in the best palace
style" Work Is also proceeding ao-
lively on the restoration of the royal
apartments or the east Of the palace,
and every effort is being made to get
into the great dome tomb found last
year. and to find other tombs.

again stirred all the latent passion
and energy Of his being.
you must not leave me in this
way" he said. "You shall not. have
a hundred things to say to you, and I
will not let you 60 until you have
heard me-"
She paused and glanced up into his
face with a look Of surprise In her
eyes. She had never heard him speak
in that tone Of authority before. He
seemed to reveal all at once all at
once q new side to his character, and
her liking for him proportionately in
creased. His very masterfulness
awoke a chord in her heart that she
hardly knew existed.
"Well?" she questioned, and she
smiled unconsciously.
1T is cold in the street, I know" he
said, "and not easy to talk. Besides,
you look tired. Why not let us turn
in here and have a cup of tea?"
The temptation proved too strong to
be resisted, though she still made a
show Of opposition.
Il do not understand you a little
bit" she said, In her frnak Western
way, land l am not prepared to take
any responsibility"
He laughed almost boisterously, and
the next moment the doors of a pala.
tial tea room swung open before
them.
He led the way to . quiet corner
where they could talk undisturbed.
She sat opposite him, wondering
greatly. She could not understand his
energy-his passion. She could not
understand herself. She felt "a though
her will had passed out Of her con-
troll. She was by no means sure that
she was doing = wise or prudent thing.

OF his fortune at her disposal, but,
