I'm GRASP OF MANIAC
FAITHFUL DAUGHTER NEAI'
DEATH or LOFTY TOWER.

Quiet in One instant. Her Father tie
came Insane the Next and Tried t,
Dash His Child to Certain Death.
Seized with homicidal mania whi
be and his daughter were viewin:
Chicago from the lofty tower OF the
Auditorium building, J. E. Shilling
made desperate effort to toss hel
over the railing to death, 800 feet be-
low. The suspicious look in hel
fathers eye as the pair left the eleva'
tor saved the daughter from death
Men were appalled, for time at the
attempt of the crazed man, but finally
seven were able to bring the kicking,
ciawiRg and biting manic to control.
He is now tiTdeT arrest and wll be
returned to the konkakee insane
asylum, whence he come a few weeks
ago, apparently cured from his NEIL
tai arrangement.
The attempt to murder was caused
by recurrence of an attack OF in
sanity. The father had pleaded the
day Of the incident to be taken to
Chicago that he might once more be-
hold the wonderful city. His daught-
er, anxious to humor him, went along
as a sort of guard and attendant. She
noted the sane way the elderly man
paid his insurance and was coming
to believe he would soon be his form
er self. When finally they reached
the auditorium the father insisted
that they go up and see the city. All
right said the girl, and they ascend
ed the elevator Together they climb
ed the stairway leading to the bal
cony, ond walked around the tower.
Then the father and the girl stood
still, their eyes fixed on the lake.
With a suddenness that forbids
telling the father turned upon his
daughter and grasped her about the.
waist. In an instant she was over his
head. She screamed for help and
twisted in midair. Certain death
was below her. The only hope
was that a rescuer might be on the
spot. The descent began but the
agile Miss Schilling caught the iron
railig and held with deathlike grip.
While in the act of getting back to
the platform the enraged father rush
ed at herand had her within his grasp
a second time but one rescuer came.
John Richardson, an elevator start
er. had noted the look in the man
eve as he left the elevator and was
watching his oction Shilling gave
ell Of rage and sprang at Richa.d55a
but did not give up his grasp OF the
girl. Richardson fought. but IL an
instant the crazed man clutched his
throat and ne was all but choked when
other persons saw the struggle and
rushed to the tower. Two came at
first. then two more but still the
maniac was too powerful to be over
come For ten minutes the strussl-
ing group swayed to ond fro, now IN
danger of failig down the stairway
and now rushing against the iron roll
ing with a force that tested It's
strength. Two detectives arrived on
the scene and the murderous maniac
was overpowered but still he declar-
ed his intention to kill his daughter.
Within short time the girl had re-
covered her composure and was able
to walk to doctors office. Shilling
was taken to the hospital in an am
buiance.

Why Don't You Own Your Own Home?
Every One Can.

: Every mans ambition should be to
own his own home, If you can't buy
one for cash, huy one on easy terms
The amount paid for rent each month
will meet the payments when due, and
the course Of a few years the place will
be paid for and the home is yours. And
think of the satisfaction of owning YOUR
home. No landlord tonotify you that at
the end of the month you must vacate.
Moving usually means broken dishes
and damaged furniture, to say nothing
OF the trouble and worry. The sur
roundlngs are always so much more
pleasant in ones own home than in a
rented one, as person does not care to
make a lawn, flower garden, and other
