PUSHED MAN OFF
TWO STORY BUILDING
Employees of schouten's Bakery
Caught Him In Net But
Life Was Extinct.

Pushed off a two story building only
to be caught by some kind hearted
bakers was al incident which large
crowd witnessed about noon today
But he was not live when he hit the
net, nor was Re alive when he was
pushed off; he was dummy
The fun all happened while the
dough mixers were enjoying their
hour of rest between IL and 1 O'Clock.
Being tired of "loafing' the bunch de-
cided to give the passersby a little ex-
element and this they surely did.
A dummy was fixed out of some old
sacks and other suitable things and a
derby hat was securely fixed on its
head. While one man mounted to the
roof of t building the others got a
large piece of canvass to be used as a
life net and solemly they marched to
the side of the building from where
the defenseless dummy was to be hur-
led. At a given signal down the poor
fellow came.
Women almost tainted while brave
men sobbed. But anon, he had hit in
the net. He was saved. The net hold
ers marched back towards the alley,
the crowd following them. Then all
of sudden tie canvas was stretched
revealing the form. And the bakers
laughed loud and long.

FIND COAL IN
BED OF THE CANAL
Large Quantities of it Extracted When
the Water is Let Culinary
Getting Winters Supply.

When the canal is drained as it
now is, the water is naturally very
low and this fact is very much appre-
ciated by certain few to whom the
local canal is coal mine. Many who
are on to the situation get enough
coal out of the canal to last hem 81
winter long, some few getting several
tons.
The place where the fue, is secured
is just above the first lock, where
barges are loaded during the summer
from cars, the coal being thrown quite
a distan e. In the course of the hot
months enough coal falls into the wa
ter on its way to a barge to amount
to no small pile, although it never
piles up higher than the surface of
the water. However, when the water
is drained off, it is an easy matter to
collect it and the opportunity is sell

the river.

HUNDRED DOLLAR
REWARD OFFERED
Illinois State Bankers Association
Wants Crook Who Has Been
Getting Money Falsely.

Z ~
Local bankers have received notice
from the officials OF the Illinois bank
er's association that reward Of a
hundred dollars will be paid for tae
apprehension of the crook who has
been getting money under false pre-
lenses by sending worthless checks.
He has been doing this for some time,
sending out all of his checks from
cities in Illinois and in the time in
which he has been doing. this he has
fleeced many people out of money.
1t would seem that he drew all of
his checks on local bank always
numbering them all 1877 and drawing
each for the same amount, $35. Start
ing In Alton, Illinois he has gone from
town to town and has gathered in
large amounts.
Although he is shrewd enough to
keep out of the clutches of the law he
has neglected to do something which
might make it possible for him to
escape a severe punishment, that is he
has neglected to deposit any money
in the local bank. If he had done
this and then been caught he would
simply be held for overdrawing his
deposit but as it is now he is clearly
getting money under false pretenses.
He changes his name every SO often
but not the amount nor the check
number The authorities hope that he
will soon be apprehended.
