FISHERMAN CATCHES GIRL
Unusual Luck of Freddie Goshorn,
Three Years Old,

CINCINNATI, Sept. 2S.-Freddie Cos
horn, 8 years old. found one Of his
fathers fishing line. Taking a piece of
meat out of the icebox, Freddie went
fishing.
He cast the line out the front window
of his parents third floor fiat. For some
time he failed to have any luck, and
Freddie began to doubt the fish stories
told by his father.
Suddenly he got a bite that an old
time fisherman would call whale. Fred
die pulled and the fish let out scream.
He pulled again, and a second scream
aroused the nelShborhood.
Freddie never had heard of a fish
screaming, so he leaned out of the win
dow to have a look. On the end of his
line he saw Mary Hall, 4 years old,
residing on the first floor of the building.
Freddie dropped his line. NeighborS
cut the line and Mary Hall was taken
to the City Hospital in auto patrol No.
3, where the fishhook was cut out of
her head.

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-"Just a poor

Lodding as he stood muffled in his drip
ping raincoat in front of a dark doorway
last night on Quincy street.
Huddled in the doorway that sheltered
her from the rain was a girl. She wore
a soiled white hat. a gray mackintosh
with frayed edges and a pair OF soggy
white canvas shoes She was leaning
against the side of the door and her
head was dropped forward on her
breast.
"Can you beat It? She's sound asleep
standing up" continued Lodding to him
self. The limp hat bobbed uncertainty
several times and the girl awoke with
a start.
II must have-I guess-Say. was

began to question the girl Not satisfied
with her replies. he took her to the South

told her story to the matron.

support of his ancient contention in

for then indeed would Uncle Sam draw

capacity Of the canal in normal years
will be eighty million tons-and at

earning capacity OF $96. 0o0,0 900 year.
The provision has been made where
by, at the expenditure OF less than
100000 another set of locks and a

Troubles OF the News
The troubles OF the Pensacola Even
ing News, Oldest paper in West Flor
ida, present interesting phases. The
paper was ostensibly sold few
months ago to the Hansons. who later
established the Jacksonville Evening
News as a competitor of the Metrop-
oils. Tt was generally reputed that
the paper. prior TO this sale, was the
property Of T. A. Jennings, one of
Pensacola's prominent citizens. H. A.
Felkel was the editor and publisher
and he stepped down and cut when
the change OF ownership was an
nounced. The News continued with
out marked changes in appearance IN
der the new management, the Hansons
putting Ben H. Thomas in charge. A
few days ago, a petition in involuntary
bankruptcy was filed against the pa
per, which followed a civil suit
brought by Felkel, who claims $4,000
as due him by the company. 1t is
understood that the Hansons now
claim that they have no connection
with the paper. Several of the re-
cent newspaper deals in Florida have
been alleged to have been only make
