Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt, Is
one of the richest and one of the

Describes Man.

The man, he said, wore a DARK
suit of clothes and had no hat.
Loew said the man was about his
own size. Loew is about the size
of Frank Farrell, who testified
for the state and who said he ran
from the vicinity of the carman
home when he saw a woman
thrust her hand through a VIM
down in the Doctors house and
heard the revolver fired.
Loew said he looked into the
office and saw DIR. Carman hold
ing a woman up, and that a wom-
an in white entered the room.
Almost Immediately, the wit
ness continued, two women left
the office and walked away.
Dogs Substantiate Tale.
John Dunbar, a Freeport po-
liceman, testified that he saw
Farrell on July standing on the
edge of the Carman property with
a newspaper in his hand. The
policeman said he ordered Far
rell to move on.
Dunbar testified that he had
charge of the bloodhounds which
were used in the case. He took
the animals to the yard adjoining
the Carman home to a spot where
the pickets in the dividing fence
were broken.
The dogs, he testified, took the
scent and went direct to DIR. Car
mans window where the fatal
shot was fired. thence back to the
fence, and across the adjoining
property to the street and then
down the Merriek road.

UNDERTAKES TO ACT
 AS SURGEON TO TIGER

From the Westminster Gazette.
 When one of the tigers in the geological gardens. Dublin, was threatened with gangrene in it's paw. the Rev. Samuel Haughton M. D., undertook to perform the dangerous experiment of operating on the animal.
 The mate of the tiger was first secured in side den. A net, devised by Profess sor Haughton. was thrown to the door of the cage. Four stout keepers then held the feet of the struggling animal, while Professor Haughton cut away the diseased claw.
 The suffering beast furiously, but valnly tried to get at him during the operation, but the rage of the tigress looking on through the bars of the side den was much more terrible to behold. She roared barriers in her mad desire to go to the rescue of her mate.
 When the tigress was admitted to the cage after the would of her mate had been dressed, she turned up the paw and examined it with touching solicitude. and then licked her mate, as a cat licks her kittens, to soothe him, purring softly the while.
 of the affair was the sequel. A week later Professor Haughton was again at the zoo to see how his patient was getting on When the animal espied him he be- gan to purr like a cat, allowed him to examine the paw, and seemed pleased that he should do so. Indeed, for years afterward the tiger and tigress showed themselves most friendly and grateful to Professor Haughton.
