BECOMES HERO
 LOSES WIFE

OpsSia. NGsSet SeTvice.
 DAYTON, Ohio. Feb. lS.--lt Is great tu be hero but it sometimes has It's | disadvantages at that. oS think Jerre Dudley. twenty eight years old. who
 uI.cc had al happy home and pretty and devoted wife but who at present
 has neither, though he may have scv- eral prospects.
 everything went all right in the
 Iudley family until .Icrrc became q hero. That was the couse of all of | the trouble and the next time Jerrc sees three pretty girls screaming their he,. ds off in d third story window with u room full of fire behind them he says that the whole, we'll he didn't say anything cxcct dingcd, push could burn to death as far as he is concerned. It happened that .Icrre was on his way to work about Il month ago when i h.. heard the screams and looking up into the air he saw three very pretty and negligently clothed girls leaning rem tho second story window of I he use calling for help. Also from the
 window came clouds of smoke and Ierre surmised that there must he g, me fire In that he was right. So
 he got d ladder and carried the girls down ono at a time.
 Jcrre is young and strong and hand-
 some and it Is not known whether he
 said the sumo thing io each of tho pretty girls as he bore her down tho lady or not. but anyway he seemed to
 lave collected about three anlnitics by | that early mornings work.
 At least that Is what Mrs. Jcrre
 Dudley said when shc applied for n divorce last week. She told the court
 that after the fire incident Jerro hardly
 cver spent an evening at home and tLat she, also. believed that where there was smoke there must be some
 fire, so she hogan to look for tho fire
 flat kept tho handsome .Tcrrc out so
 latc of nights.
 The wife claimed that she found the
 blaze in three different places on three
 different occasions and that in each
 ii stanc ono of the rescued girls was
 responsible That is why she asked
 fer a divorce and the court agreed with
 Mrs. Jerre after hearing the evidence.
 Now Jerrc is without happy homo.
 but of course there aro prospects and people are wondcrinG which ono of tho tbtec rescued girls it will bc. Of course hc cannot marry them all.

 PERICO, L. l.. Feb. lS.-The magni- ficent country home of William K. Vanderbilt on the Jerico turnpike was completely destroyed by :. fire early this morning.
 The house was situated in beauti- ful park in the very center of the millionaire colony on Long Island and vas considered one of the show places of the country.
 The house has been closed for the winter and was In charge of caro- taker and his family who lived in a cottage near the gates of the park.
 The origin of the fire is Il mystery and there was no one in the house at the time 1t was discovered and the c;ectric circuit for lighting tho place las been entirely cut off eliminating the chance that it was set on fire by defective wiring. There was no fire in the house so far as is known and the only possible supposition is that the place had been entered by tramps md set on fire by their carelessness.
 There were thousands of dollars VI rth of art treasures and tapestries iu the house as we'll as much valuable furniture which was totally destroyed.
