NEW YORK. Feb. pa pet crow
belonging to Carl Enfeldt. the small son
OF Herman Enfeldt of Troy Hills. Nor
ris county, N. j., was the means of
saving the little fellows life.
Enfeldt was working about his barn
when Kaiser, the crow, came flying
from a piece OF woods about quarter
of a mile away, cawing vociferously.
The bird circled about the farmers
head several times and started back to
the woods. This performance was re-
reated, and when Mrs. Enfeldt asked
ler husband where Carl was he sus-
pected something was wrong.
Mr.. and Mrs. Enfeldt followed Kaiser
to the woods and found little Carl. his
foot caught in a vine and hanging head
downward. In falling over bank his
cad had struck a stone and been rem
dered unconscious. Had he remained
in that position much longer he would
have died.
Enfeldt has often threatened to shoot
Kaiser, because the bird is robber,
hut now values 1t highly.

GAMBLER SHOOTS
WIFE; KILLS SELF
Woman Who Refused to Dismiss Pros
ceedings for Divorce Is Fatally
Wounded by Her Hus-
band
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SPOKANE, Wash, Feb. 2S.-Because
she refused to dismiss divorce proceed
ings which she recently began at Rath-
drum, Idaho, and return to him, Mark
McClemmy, a gambler, known among
his associates as Buck" McClemmy,
shot and fatally wounded his wife and
then committed suicide in the Hotel
Pedicord In this city this afternoon.
The couple had been involved in do
nestle trouble for several years. Until
about a month ago they lived at Occur
d'Alene City, Idaho. She left him and
came to Spokane. He followed and had
her arrested, claiming that she had
stolen $500 from him. After investiga-
ton she was released.
In partial settlement of their troubles
at that time she took their daughter
Iva, aged 6, and he took the son,
Harold, aged 8.
Mrs. McClemmy secured a room at
Hotel Pedicord, and he, with the boy,
went to San Point. Mr.. McClemmy
turned to Spokane a week ago and en-
gagged a room at the same hotel: His
room was on the same floor and near
hers. He tried to effect reconciliation
with her, pleading with his wife for
| several days, but met with nothing but
| refusal.
He left Saturday for Occur dAlene,
saving to friends as he departed that
everything was off between him and
his wife. He returned Sunday and re-
newed his efforts toward making up.
He met Mrs. McClemmy in the hall on
the third floor.
After an emphatic refusal to live with
| him again he drew a revolver and fired
| four shots at her. One bullet entered
her right side, passing through the
liver. AS she turned he shot her in the
back, another bullet entering the left
side Just below the heart. Both bullets
went through her body and lodged III
| the wall Another bullet went through
her left wrist. One shot missed her
He then placed the muzzle of the gun
against his right temple and blew out
his brains. Mrs. McClemmy's condi-
| tion is considered hopeless.

WAGON USED
BY BURGLARS
FINE CUTLERY STOLEN FROM
STORE
THIEVES CARRY OFF $1,000 WORTH
OF GOODS
Police Believe Robbers viii Ship
Loot Out of Town = Only
the Finest Stock
Taken

The store and factory of the Jaeger
supply company, manufacturers and
dealers IN butchers and BARRIERS sup
plles, was yesterday morning broken
into and nearly $1,000 worth of cutlery
stolen, the goods evidently being car
ried away in a wagon.
An inspection of the place had been
made by private Waterman of the
Merchants Fire Dispatch at o'clock,
and everything was found all right at
that hour. Between that time and day
light an entrance was effected through
the rear of the establishment by lin
mying a back door and the show cases
and cabinets of the place were thor
oughly ransacked.
Nothing but the finest of goods was
taken, and gross after gross of knives,
raZors and scissors of all kinds were
taken. in addition a large amount of
sundries and toilet goods used by bar
bers was also carried off.
Marks of wheels near the rear door
lead the police to believe a wagon was
used to carry off the goods, and the
fact that the amount taken was more
than could be comfortably carried by
even three men makes this theory seem
plausible.
Detectives Chapman and Home were
detailed to the case, and are following
clues they believe will lead to the arrest
of the thieves. 1t is the police theory
that all goods will be shipped out of
the city for disposal.
The robbery was discovered by Pa
trolman Carr of the Fire Dispatch.

new Morosco- Montrose song, my
Cherokee" Mr.. Temple was for many
years leading tenor with the Charles
Frohman musical companies, and after
that was director of the FRITZ Scheff
company for two seasons. He is well
known locally and his appearance at
the Burbank does much to strengthen
the musical part of the program.
Miss Eldred Gilmore, formerly with
1.-The Blue Moon company, sang the
second new song, my Yankee Sailor
Boy and Miss Mango buffet, who had
this number last week, was given in
stead "She Was Grand Old Lady,
interpolated in the second act.
The farce went with a snap through
out. Blanche Hall, as Pony Luce,
Stockbridge, Mestayer, Beasley, Des-
mond, Maud Gilbert and the rest of
them repeating the hits they made the
week before. The chorus, with
weeks experience behind it, has i'm
proved in a marked degree.
An excellent scenic effect was intro
duced yesterday for the first time dur
ing the singing of my Cherokee a
transparent, illuminated drop, appro-
pirate to the song, being used with IT.
The picture was enthusiastically APP
plauded by the audience.

characters are drawn from life, Mrs.
Andrews having lived in just such
town. In the course of the play, nu-
merous events familiar to every small
towner are introduced. There is the
arrival of the daily stage at the tav-
ern, with its queer collection of peo-
ple: the Sunday school picnic, the

HONORS THE MEMORY
OF FIRST PRESIDENT
Or. William Horace Day Pays Tribute
to Men Who Were Ready When
Country Needed Their
Services

Behold now is the day of salvation"
was the text chosen by DR.. William
Horace Day for his sermon yesterday
"Out on the field a group of sprint
ers is crowded around the trainer he
said. after a few instructions they
line up. They wait for his Ready
Coz In a fine sense of the word Paul
he wrote to Corinthian Christians: Be
hold. now Blessed are we if ready
when the call comes.
Behold, now This is the call to
our nation.
I'm the tumult of war this call has
smote the ear of the nation and 1t has
responded. Still more often the hour
of destiny, day of salvation, has come
without observation, and there have
been listening ears to hear the Divine
summons to action-'Behold, now.
1.-THE God of the nations seeks to lead
this nation to it's best not only because
it will have a glorious life If obedient,
but because through its obedience IL
will bless the race. With our greatest
leaders, with our men of vision this
after all has been the incentive to sac
rifice. Yesterday was Washington
birthday.
1--WE honor him because he heard this
call. In his first inaugural, delivered
100 years ago, in calling the young ma
ton to meet it's new duty to the world,
he said: The preservation of the sa-
cred fire of liberty, and the destiny Oh
the republican model of government,
are Justly considered as deeply, perhaps
as finally staked on the experiment IN
trusted to the hands of the American
people.
Was Ready for Call
"In the dark hour of civil war Lin
coin felt a load beyond the dreams OF
Atlas because he not only heard GOD
Behold, now,' but because he saw the
destinies of the race indissolubly bound
depending upon the obedience of inns
republic. No greater words have ever
been said upon this continent than
these:
at is rather for US to be here dedi-
Gated to the great task remaining pc
fore us that this nation under
God shall have a new birth of freedom
and that government of the people.
by the people and for the people shall
not perish from the earth.
1--WE perhaps find it easy to see thai
il was a great hour in the affairs OF
men when Washington spoke, an ever
greater one when Lincoln's great heart
throbbed in travail for this nation, but
our time is cast in pleasant places, wei
nigh universal peace girdles the globe
ard vet say TO you though the day OF
salvation come without observation, i
is none the less near. Though the tide
rise so silently that you scarce car
hear 1t murmur, it is at flood as truly
as II It had come upborne on the wings
of the tempest"

WOMAN HELD
PRISONER BY
STRANGE MAN
POLICE INVESTIGATE STORY
OF CRUELTY
sALEsMAN'S WIFE is KEPT
AGAINST HER WILL
Claims Stranger She Met on street
Dragged and Detained Her for
Four Days-Had 0uarreled
with Husband

Mrs. Roy S. Cleaveland, wife of a
salesman, whose home is on West
Thirty-eighth street, was arrested on
Seventh street near Los Angeles last
night by Patrolman Craig while she
was staggering along the sidewalk
plainly under the influence OF liquor OF
drugs.
AT the central station, after she had
been booked for drunkenness, she was
examined by the police surgeon on
duty to learn If she was suffering from
other than alcoholic poisoning, and she
told a pitable tale of the outrageous
treatment she had been subjected 10
by an unidentified man.
Mrs. Cleaveland said that Wednes-
day she had a quarrel with her hus-
band and in a fit of pique she lett her
home and walked down the street
1t was Just about dusk and after sne
had walked nearly score of blocks
she was accosted by man who asked
her IL she was i'll.
The woman replied she was very tired
and the man told her to go into
house nearby and she could rest. she
accepted the invitation and the man
conducted her to a room, where hnally
he offered her drink of reddish look
ing liquor which was very sweet, but
had a peculiar taste. She drank it UNI
suspectingly and as it made her feel
so much better she drank another.
After this she remembers nothing ex-
eept that the man continued to ply her
with drink and that he kept her in the
room until last night. when he took
her down the street, and after walking
her around for several blocks, evidently
to get her confused as to the location,
suddenly ran away.
Mrs. Cleaveland wandered around
until she was found by the policeman
and sent to the station. The officers
could not find her husband last night,
but a thorough investigation of the case
will be made today

COUNCIL WANTS SAFETY
IN PICTURE THEATERS
Special Committees Report viii Urge
Necessity for Taking Steps to
Guard Against Panic
Dangers

Some action may be taken in the city
council today looking to further pre-
cautions being ordered toward safe
guarding patrons of the nickel and
dime theaters and moving picture
shows.
Councilmen Pease and Lyon, as a
special committee, visited most of the
houses last week and were startled Mt
the lack of precautions for preventing
panics.
The committee decided that operators
of the moving picture machines must
be mature men with practical electrical
experience. Managers who employ
youths were given the tio to discharge
them at once.
The great danger in these theaters
lies in the apparatus which keeps the
pictures moving and Eliminates the
screen.
The operators boxes will probably
be made of metal hereafter or coated
with fireproofng.
The committee ordered number of
changes made at once without waiting
for any instructions from the council
or building inspectors.
