Cooke told the woman, and he

he went to Chicago to escape her.

for salary warrant.
In order to settle the matter,
Auditor Barbur referred the case
to City Attorney Kavanaugh, who
detailed Deputy Attorney Grant
to start suit on behalf or the city
against both the Star Loan COM
pany and Charboneau, to compel
them to appear in court and de-
termine the ownership of the
warrant.
Yesterday the loan shark outfit
dared not appear, inasmuch as all
its papers in the case would have
to be brought into court, and
these papers are illegal on their
face.
Therefore the judge ordered
that the warrant be turned over
to -Charboneau, that the assign
ment of salary filed with the city
auditor be cancelled and that the
Star Loan company be compelled
to pay the costs of the case, about
$40.

"The poor devil was crazy, that's

Henry Marx, clerk in the

was to be repaid in six monthly

HEADLIGHT ON CAR

light of the car which killed JOS

bridge Friday night was not burn

tle," said Coroner G. D. Shaver,
who is investigating the accident
this morning.
Coroner Shaver says that the
statement of Groceryman. G. o.
Brown printed by the Times yes
terday that Motorman Snyder had
telephoned to the T. R. & P. that
his light had gone out before the
car struck Holsted, was verified
by examining the records of the
company. A written report by
Snyder states that the headlight
on the car went out at the TOP
of the rise just before the trestle
is reached.

in looking up passengers who
were on the car at the time of the
accident, in order to ascertain the
