Early Morning Blaze at 81
Prince Street Exciting, but
Not Disastrous.

Rushing through the flames and

a. m. in a confectionery store on the
ground floor. conducted by Morris Teal
Seipel arrived on the scene before the
firemen, and. knowing that about forty
tenants resided in the structure, he lost
no time in arousing them.
Running up the stairway at the
Prince street entrance. he beat with his
night stick on the door of Theodore
Galsand, who lives on one side of the
hallway. and of Max Barry, living on
the opposite. There are three children
in each family, and, aided by the par
ents, Seipel was enabled to bring them
all in safety to the street. He then
turned his attention to the other fami-
lies who use the Prince street en-
trance.
BY this time the store was seething

window into the hallway and cut off es-

Dashing through these flames Seipei

tenement, if 1t became necessary. The
blaze was soon under control. however,

LIFE OF HECKLAU
IN BALANCE AS He
GOES UNDER KNIFE
Delicate Operation Performed on
Man Who Was Murder
Ously Assaulted.

Upon the result of an operation
which was performed on ReinhoId
Hecklau at the City Hospital this aft
ernoon will depend whether the police
will be given the task of clearing up
murder mystery or ferreting out a
case of atrocious assault and battery.
Hecklau. who was attacked with MUIR
derous intent in lonely section of the
city, near the corner of Peddie street
and South Belmont avenue, last
Wednesday, night, lies in the City Hos
pital with his skull fractured in three
places, but the man is possessed of
such wonderful vitality that he has not
even sunk into unconsciousness in all
that time. s
Knowing that the only chance of saw
ing his life lies in performing a delicate
surgical operation. the surgeons of the
City Hospital decided yesterday to per-
form such an operation, and he was
placed under the surgeons knife today.
Should the operation prove successful,
there is reason to believe that Hecklau
may yet survive the terrible injuries in
ilicted upon him by his unknown assail-
ant, although his recovery would be
looked upon as one of the most remark
able In the history of the institution.
The police are working day and night
in their effort to clear up the mystery
surrounding the assault, but up to the
present time no tangible clue has been
discovered. Working upon information
received from those directly concerned
in the affair, they have questioned a
number of people who were at first
thought TO be valuable witnesses, hut
nothing has yet resulted from this line
of procedure. The whereabouts of Nc
Guigan, who, it is thought. might be
able to throw some light on the mys-
terry. still remains unknown, although
every effort has been made to locate
him.

which the weather would be likely to
be more pleasant than the fourth of
