RUSE BY C. HOvIS
But This Time It Nearly Ends
in His Finish in Jail at
Peoria.

Several Hours Before He Regains

mitted to Asylum.

Charles Hovis, alias Charles Bell,
who was in the county Jail here for
four months awaiting trial on
charges of forgery and obtaining
noney under false pretenses and
who at. one time came near being ac-
quilted on plea of insanity, has con-
tinued practicing his wiles at Pc
oria, where he is now in jail.
Yesterday at Peoria he made an
attempt at hanging himself in his
cell at the station there and when
he was cut down by turnkey he
was apparently dead, although sew
epal hours later he was revived. So
apparent was his death at first that
TIE Rock Island police department
was communicated with. 1t was
learned today. however. that Hovis
IS still very much alive and capable
of doing so much mischief that an
attempt to have him sent to the hos
pital for the incurable insane is TO
be made.
TRIES SUICIDE BEFORE.
Early in September Hovis was ar
rested here after he had passed a
bogus check upon Alderman William
Cochran at the latter's saloon on
Twenty-second street. The same
night Hovis tried 10 commit suicide
st the jail by hanging himself and
later on when sent to the county

He caused no end of trouble. pre-
tending for days at a time that he
was insane. During that time no
one could get into his cell with him
and he broke up every piece of fur
niture that he could get his hands
IN. It was finally decided that he
was really insane and he was sent to
WATERFOWL There he became ra-
t'onaI and the conclusion was arriv-
ed at that he had been shamming in
order TO get out of Jail. Not long
after his commitment he was taken
back to the county Jail.

Sheriff o. L. Bruner arrested him

from custody there, but shortly az

caused competition previously nm
heard of for the services of English
actors and a corresponding advance in
their salaries. The wage scale in
creased at least 100 per cent.
AT present the English activities
of some of our managers have been cur
tailed, presumably owing to the diff
Guilty of securing desirable stage at
fractions. The. outcome is found in the
fact that London swarms with actors
seeking engagements in America. Thus
American managers desiring the serv-
