ON PICKPOCKET

| Detective Frank Burczyk fired four
shots at a suspected pickpocket, late
Saturday afternoon. after the fugi.
tive had led the detective merry
chase through the financial district.
The dip" escaped,
Burczyk was standing at Michi-
gan-aye. and Griswold-st.. when he
saw two men attempt TO rob an old

poets fed as Burczyk approached.
He followed one, down Griswold-st.
to the Dime Bank building, where
the fugitive dnrted into the alley
and ran to Shelby-st.. to Lafayette.
blvd, and through Walter Lowrie's
cafe, and back to the alley. He
droppd his overcoat, which Burczyk
seized, after firing the four shots
in an Intellectual effort to stop the
fugitive. A postcard photo was
found in the coat, and is believed to
be a picture of the man who cs-
capped.

cling a rather pressing problem. This
argument isn't all one-sided. by all
means Both The jitney and the trac-

that some sort of regulation OF the Jlt-

That is all it can be-regulation. The

doesn't seem fair to see the jitney
dodge in before the street car over
track the traction company has just
cleared of snow and pick up passen-
gers; but it seems that he has that
right under the law and according to
counsel. The lit can not be driven
off the street. 1t is altogether ques-
tinn whether it should be or whether
people want it done.
But there are matters in connection
with it that need attention. 1t should
be provided with a safe and compe-
tent driver. It's speed SHOULD be rigid

lege of piling more persons into sec

be carried when the car came from the

bility for accident and the collection OF
damages is needed. And there are sew
eral items of regulation that belong
with the "jit'' in the protection of the

There is another thing. too. in the

done and that is the regulating OF
speed of automobiles. OF course we
have a state law and a city ordinance,
but for the most part they do no good.

Nonagenarian Of City Suceumbs
Fracture of Hip.

Fracture Of Hip.
After an illness that dates from
Feb. 10, when he fell and sustained
fracture of the right hip, Eli B. Mend
enhall, 2O51s South First street, died at
1910 this morning. Mr. Mendenhall
has failed rapidly since his accident,
uremic poisoning, which developed
two weeks ago, being the immediate
cause of death. Mr.. Mendenhall was
81 years old on March Is.
Mr. Mendenhall was born in Gull
ford county, North Carolina, March 10,
1924. In 1882 he went with his parents
to Dublin, Ind, making the trip by
wagon. At the age of % he entered
Earlham College, Richmond, Ind,
where he afterwards taught for one
| year. It was while attending college
that he met his wife. who was then
Miss Mary Jane Pearson and with
whom he was united in marriage with
the Friends ceremony in 1852 at
Spiceland, Ind. After their marriage
IMr and Mrs. Mendenhan went in
Carthage, Ind, where Mr.. Mendenha!l
taught school. A few years later he
engaged in the dry goods business at
| Monrovia Ind, and in 1852 took his
| family and went by wagon to Mime
sofa, settling in Goodhue county, near
Zumbrota, where for twelve years the
! family resided.
Mr.. Mendenhall later became one OF
the early settlers of Hardin county,
when he moved with his family to
Iowa in 1873. settling near New Provi-
dence. He lived there until he came to
this city nineteen years ago. He has
been lifelong member OF the Friends
church and has always been active in
church work. For forty years he
| taught in the Sunday school.
Mr.. Mendenhall is the last of large
family and is survived by his wife and
| five children-A. H. Mendenhall, of
