VANDALS AT WORK
IN LONG VIEW
commissioners Are Aroused by Re
peated Acts, and Determine to
Take Drastic Measures.

The park commissioners complain
that vandalism is causing much dam
age and annoyance in Long View
park. Boys have stoned the ducks
and geese in the lakes, and have
broken into the shelter of the fowls
and have stolen the eggs. The other
day five boys were found on top of
the figure of the elk, but were seen
before any damage was done or they
were injured. The other morning
Superintendent Gaetier found the big
park lawn roller in the lake. These
acts and many others have SO aroused
the superintendent and the commits
sioners that they have determined 20
stop such vandalism, and drastic
measures will be taken if necessary.
If the boys do not stop such practices
they-will be dealt with severely. The
commissioners. desire the young people
TO enjoy the park to the fullest extern,
but the abuse of the privileges will
not be tolerated. If it continues those
who have been perpetrating these acts
may find themselves in serious trouble

WAS DUE To FALL
Coroner's Jury Investigates
Death of Edward, or

SUSPECTED FOUL PLAY
Police Thought at First That He Had
Been Injured in Fight-Physic-

Edward or "Blackie" Williams, some
times called Edward Saley, who died
yesterday, came to his death from in
juries received in a fall which took
place while "Blackie" was in an intoX-
icated condition, according to the YER
dict of coroner's jury at the inquest
this morning at the Knox undertaking
rooms. -"Blackie" was found lying in
the alley between Nineteenth and
Twentieth streets and between First
and Second avenues, Wednesday morn

station, where his injuries were dress

ed and he was given surgical atten.
ton. Yesterday morning it was found
that his condition was more serious
than was thought at first, and he was
removed to st. Anthony's hospital,
where he died at 2 o'clock.
Foul Play Suspected.
His injuries consisted of a wound in
the head and several other bruises. 1t
was feared at first by the police that
he had met with foul play, but he in
sisted that his injuries were merely
the result of a fall, and as the cor
ioner's jury and the police were unable
to find any evidence TO the contrary,
his statement was accepted in the max
ing of the verdict. Chief l.. V. Eckhart
of the police force had his officers
round up all the friends of ''Blackie"
and all who had been with him during
learn whether there had been a fight
i'll which the injuries might have re-
suited, but all that could be learned
pointed to the contrary The evidence
all went to show that Williams had
wandered into the alley while intoXi-
of epilepsy, to which he was subject,
/! fell and sustained the injuries which
! resulted in his death. He was uncon-
/ scious when found, but the police sue
ceeded in reviving him when he was
| taken to the station. He told several
of n nff uyhn hn oil
acquainted that he knew he was going
! to die this time.
Was Weak Mentally.
| Williams had the misfortune to be
afflicted with epilepsy during the great
er part of his life, and his mind was
weakened. He took to the use OF
lstrong drink, and was habitual drunk
ard, being in that condition whenever
he was able to get enough money fol
a drink of whisky. He was known tC
| the police probably better than any
other character in the city, and in fact
1 he spent about three-fifths of his time
in jail. He was also an inmate of the
| poor house for time and he had Serv

He was not a vicious character, only

For Your

A man who has made a bust.
ness of giving health culture lee
lures for nearly so years said
the other day that we never
ought to pass a day without eat
ing some kind of fresh fruits or
vegetables.
He said that the iron in fresh
green stuff was absolutely neceS-
sary to keep the blood in good
condition. Most of us know that
but sometimes we forget it and
don't pay as much attention TO
those foods as We ought.
Then there is attractivencss
that such food properly served
lends to your table, for who can
resist the appetizing effect that
a dish of fresh crisp lettuce or
nice red radishes lends to the
table? Then there's young on
ions and spinach. also picplant
and asparagus, besides straw
berries, cucumbers and celery,
