FIRE IS NEAR HOSPITAL
Presence of Mind of One
Nurse Saves Patients
From a Panic.

For the past week prairie fires have
made their appearance all over Calu-
met Heights. One of the fires was set
near the South Chicago hospital which
is situated at Ninety second street and
Oglesby avenue and it was only for
the quick thinking of one of the nurses
that a panic was averted.
The fire it is thought was set by
some small urchins who take a de-
light ina seeing them burn, the nurse
who was on outside of the hospital at
the time noticed the grass burning
and at once took broom and started
to pu out the blaze. she succeeded only
after a severe fight as the wind was
tanning the flames all the time. The
nurse was burned a little about the
hands but not serious and the patients
did not know OF the fire at all.
One of the fires set by some one set
fire TO house on Stony Island avenue
and the fire department was summoned
to put it out

Charges Against Husband

timony in some places is rich and is
very interesting to an outsider. Mrs.
Herberts asserts that on the evening of
Jan. 1. 1908. when her husband poured
water down her back when she was
about to retire and when she screamed
he told her to continue would mean
her instant death, as he would shoot
her.
Following this attack she says her
husband chased her around the room
with a butcher knife threatening to
cut her throat If he caught her. She
asserts that she was successful in
keeping away from him, thus saving
her life. In other sheet, Mrs. Herberts
says her husband neglected her for
other women and that he was a fire.
