Opening the cell door, the Lieutenant
reused the sleeping prisoner.
What do you mean by this he
demanded.
'Oh that! that's my will in case /
die" replied the owner of the mines,
II was shortly after 10 o'clock last
night when Grummond walked into
the station. His rugged frame and
bewhiskered face lent color to the
story of prospecting in Mexico A
nights lodging was what he wanted,
he told the lieutenant, and when IT
was given him he told of the fabulous
wealth that would some day be

of the mans ramblings, but locked
him up in a cell.
When he said goodby today he
told Walzer where he could find the
mines in Mexico should he take a
trip there.

Hesse charged in his bill that his
wife babe him goodby as usual one
morning, and when he returned from
business that night she and the
household effects were gone. The
only reason he could advance was
because he had preferred a quiet life
to theatres and. entertainments. After
several unsuccessful attempts to in
duce his wife to return he brought
suit for divorce.
Testimony was heard by Hugh B.
Reed as special master. Mrs Hesse
pit in no defense One of the pecu-
liar features of the case was that her
sister was a witness for the COM
plainant.
The Hesses were married by the
Rev. George s. Hall, pastor of--the
Wyckliffe Presbyterian Church, on
January 10, 1906. They lived at $50
when Hesse made the discovery that
his wife had left him. Mrs. Hesse

Man Gar Had Hit

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Search
is being made today for what the
police term ''the meanest man." while
his aged victim lies in a precarious
condition in hospital as the result
of being struck by a street car.
Samuel r. Warren. 7g years old.
and an employee of the war depart
ment, was struck by or fell from a
car yesterday Only partially con-
scious, he was picked up by passers-
by who called an ambulance.
One of the rescue squad evidently
rewarded himself for his phllanthropic
action, for when Warren regained his
senses in the hospital today he re-
ported that his wallet containing SIS
had been slipped from his pocket.
The police now are trying to round
UP the rescue squad.
