ONE DAY'S GRIST IN SOUTH CHICAGO

STARTS NOISY RIOT II Edward Maher Attacks De tectives and is Quieted With Great Difficulty. Edward Maher, whose case was continued yesterday until this morning, made a vicious attack on Detectives Earchard and Skiba in the South Chicago municipal court this morning after he had been denied a further continuance and the case had been transferred to the first district for a Jury trial. The accused man fought the detectives and policement for several minutes before he was dragged away to the lockup, and the utmost excitement reigned until the man was out of the room. The court room was crowded with spectators, and order was restored with great dirncuity by Baliff Wahlin. Maher, who is looked upon by the police as a desperate citizen and who is said to have been in the penitentiary on one occasion for burglary, was ar rested by Detectives Barchard and Skiba on the evening of March 12, after he had assaulted and attempted to rob Maud Beam. He is alleged to have followed the woman from Woodlawn in a street car and when she alighted at Buffalo avenue and Ninety-second street, Maher is said to have attempted to grab her purse. The woman screamed and was struck in the face by Maher, who then ran away. He was captured by the detectives a few blocks from the scene of the attempted robbery' and was positively identified by his victim. The two detectives had to call another police officer to get Maher to the patrol box. On his arraignment the next morn ing Maher secured a continuance, and his bail was fixed at $2,500. Yesterday the case was called and a further continuance was granted until today. At the hearing this morning the man fought for a further post ponement, and when it was denied him he began to abuse the detectives who arrested him, calling them thieves and grafters. As Detective Skiba started to lead Maher away, Maher struck him in the face and aimed another blow at Detective Barchard. The prisoner put up a most desperate fight until he was placed in the lock-up, ap parently In the hope that lve would be io badly beaten that tha continuance he wanted: would5 bv granted. Women in the audience screamed and men shouted, and the uproar for a few min utes was indescribable. THE LAKE COIWTY TIMES means J.

HEGEWISCH NEWS WILLIAM ROSE GROCERIES, FEED AND GAS FIXTURES. 13260 ONTARIO ST. HEGEWISCH BIRD HUNT IN MIDOCEAN. Valuable Penguin Chased Over Decks and Recaptured. A penguin hunt during a winter storm in. the mid-Atlantic was one of tho odd experiences of R. E. Jones, who returned yesterday from a bird buying trip abroad, says the Minneapolis Journal. Commissioned to buy tho stock for the great aviaries at Eig Island park, Mr. Jones was returning with some 50 out of the 2,000 birds he had purchased at the various markets in England and on the continent. ID.3 traveling proteges were lashed in small crates on the upper deck in the lee of the smokestacks. One morning when the seas were running high and no passengers dared to venture upon the decks a crate con taining a penguin broke loose, crashed down to a lower deck and broke open. Mr. Penguin promptly emerged from the debris and started on a tour of ex ploration It happens that penguins are not available in the market erery day, this specimen being one of two which Mr. Jones bought on tho London docks of a sailor just in from Africa. Consequently he saw that heroic steps were to be taken at once if one of his rarest bird3 was to be saved. In Imminent danger of being washed away by the big combers, he and a sailor chased the escaped prisoner over the sloping, slippery decks until the bird was again safely caged and stowed away. An Opportunity Slighted. "Why don't you buy stock in that company?" "It doesn't seem to me that the men running It have good business judgment. They say that In a month tho price of the stock will be double." "Yes?" "Well, why don't they wait a month before selline it to me?"
