SHOT IN HEAD, ROUTS THUGS
Grocer Fires Five Shots at Two In
truders Who Rifle Cash Register
and Escape.

Chicago.-Shot through the head by
highwaymen who entered his store
and held him up about o'clock the
other night, Morris Baker, q grocer at
S71 Rush street, followed the robbers
to the street and fired five shots after
them before being overcome by the
pain of his wound The intruders es-
capped with $50.
Baker was in his store making
when two men entered and ordered a
pound OF butter. Baker went to the
ice box in the rear of the store and
while his back was turned he heard
the bell in his cash register Jingle.
He turned and saw one man with the
cash drawer open and the other with
revolver leveled at him. Baker
made a rush for the man who was
rifing the cash drawer, when the
other man fired
The bullet struck Baker above the
left eye and came out through the
roof of his mouth, but did not stop
him.
He spat out the bullet and, with his
mouth full of blood and crushed bone
that came with 1t, grabbed a revolver
from beneath the counter and set out
in pursuit of the fleeing thugs.
He fired FIVE shots at the robbers
before weakness overcame him and
Baker fell to the ground unconscious.
Miss Alice Moran, who lives above
Bakers store, heard the shots and
ran down stairs in time to see the
grocer fall Men who attempted to
stop the robbers were threatened
with the pistols of the man who in
jured Baker and the robbers made
good their escape. Miss Moran noti-
fed the police of the Chicago avenue
station and detectives were imme-
diately sent out on the case. They
learned that one of the men was tall
and the other short, but could get no
definite clew as to who they might be.
Baker was taken to the Passavant
hospital, where doctors announced
hat his condition was not serious.

Alone In Lighthouse on chinooteasue
Island, William Taylor, Keeper,
After Twenty-slx Years Service,
Passes Away-Wlfe Finds Body.

Snow Hill. Md.-At sunset the other
day the light from Chincoteague
lighthouse did not shine across the
waters os Sinepuxent bay nor blink
its salutation to its sister light at AS
sateague, that guards the treacherous
channels and dangerous sandbars OF
the Atlantic eastward of Chincoteague
Island. The inhabitants of the island
looked and wondered. Never in the
history of the lighthouse had such a
thing occurred before There was
one woman on the island who knew
there was something serious the mat
ter. 1t was the keepers wife, and
she, in her sturdy little gasoline
launch, had battled with the Ice foes
alone a few hours before and come to
Chincoteague for much-needed sup
plies. She and her husband had been
icebound since the extreme cold
weather of the last few weeks and
when she left he was seemingly In the
best of health. The Ice foes had not
torn the lighthouse from its founda-
lions, for at sunset its white wall
and red roof were plainly visible. The
apparatus must be In working order.
But, in this event, the keeper would
have rugged substitute light. But
there must be no delay. The light
must shine or lives might be lost.
Mrs. Taylor. who Is assistant keep
err, readily found men to assist her In
getting back to the lighthouse and
the battle with the ice began. For a
time the lighthouse could not be dis
cerned, but at last 1t was sighted. but
nowhere could light be seen In the
house. This forebode evil and as the
party drew near and nearer and final
ly reached the little iron ladder that
runs up from the water to the land
ing platform and were not greeted by
the cheerful voice of William Taylor
the keeper, they were convinced that
In the few short hours since the de
parture OF the wife something serious
had happened.
In q few moments their fears were
realized, for they found Taylor kneel

The light shone the next night

that, az she watched, the body Of hei
husband was being carried across the
waters OF the bay for burial by the
friends who had assisted her in reach
ing her home, and they were beine
guided by the light which for 26 years
he had attended.
William Taylor and his wife hat
been keeper and assistant keeper o.
Chincoteague Light since It was estab
lished 28 years ago. Never had the
government received any complaint
as to its management and the keeper
and his wife were esteemed by al
who knew them.

DESIRE FOR DRINK
ENDS IN THREE DAYS
Perfect Results of Neal
Treatment.

There is no longer any reason for
men and women to suffer torments
in their efforts to stop drinking.
The marvellous agency In the sure,
easy and quick redemption from the
liquor habit is the nationally known
Neal Treatment. Three days Of the
Neal Treatment are sufficient to rid
any one OF all craving and desire for
alcoholic drink.
Business and professional men
who recognized the danger they we're
in have been quickly changed from
Slaves OF drink to masters OF them
selves. Three days of the Neal
Treatment is the most profitable
business investment any drinking
man can make. because 1t clears
the brain, restores the nerves, in
creases business foresight and earn
ing power. Men who demand
"Bracers" before breakfast and at
increasing intervals the rest of the
day until "night-cap" time, have at
the end Of three days treatment
found themselves with all desire
for drink gone forever.
The Neal Treatment consists OF
the administering by physicians of
perfectly harmless vegetable rem
edy taken internally, with no hypo-
dermic injections. 1t neutralizes
and eliminates all the stored up al
cohol poison in the system. When
this is done the drinker is restored
to his normal physical and mental
condition. Satisfaction is certain.
Guests while taking treatment en-
JOY all the privacy and comforts OF
home, club or hotel. Names are
never divuIged and all eorrespon-
dence is held In strictest confidence.

was small lanterns. These were held
by men placed at intervals along the
route and the lanterns were lighted just
before the approach Of the pageant, as
