BRIDGE TENDER

BELIEVEDJ3R0WNED Rudolph Behrendt, C. L. S. & E. Employe, Thought to Have Fallen in River. Rudolph Behrendt, tender of the Chi cago, Lake Shore & Eastern railroad bridge across the Calumet river at Ninety-first street, Is believed to have fallen from a short pier north of the east approach to the bridge early this morning and drowned. About 1 o'clock Behrendt hailed Peter M. Little, watchman at the dredge dock of the Great Lakes Dredging and Dock company, just north of the Ninety-second street traffic and asked him to join In fishing from the pier. Little refused, and thought nothing more of the matter till a half hour later, when he heard a Chicago, Lake Shore & Eastern train whistle for the bridge to close, and re peat the signal four or five times. Little and the train crew investigat ed and found that Behrendt was miss ing. His hat and lantern, and a small can containing some fish, were found on the pier, and the conclusion was at once reached that Behrendt had fallen Into the river while fishing and drowned. The police of the East Side were noti fied and officers from that station and the South Chicago station came to the scene and began dragging the river for the body. The life-saving crew from the South Chicago station and firemen from the fire boat, Michael Conway, are also working with grappling Irons, but at a late hour the body had not been recovered. A strong current Is flowing toward tho lake, which makes the work of the men seeking the body difficult, and which may have drawn the body far out Into the lake. Behrendt was 43 years old and lived with his wife and family at 9820 Avenue L. LAB0KER DIES FROM GAS. Steve Dvorcak, Federal Furnace Employe, Asphyxiated While at Work. Steve Dvorcak, 24 years old, a laborer employed about the blast furnaces of the Federal Furnace company. One Hundred and Eighth street and Calumet river, was overcome by gas while changing the flues of the stoves from one furnace to another at 5:30 o'clock this morning. The man was removed from the place where he was working in an unconscious condition and Dr. Faulds, 9215 Commercial avenue, was called. The physician was unable to revive Dvorcak, who survived the accident but a short time. The unfortunate man was married and lived at 9655 Avenue M. An inquest on the body Is In progress this afternoon. Fined for Assault. William Jackson was fined $15 and costs and Charles Douglas was fined $10 and costs this morning by Munic ipal Judge Goodnow for assaulting Wrilliam Smith, porter In a barber shop at Ninetieth street and Buffalo avenue. The case was continued from yester day, when the defendants sought to show that Smith got what was coming to him for insulting Jackson's "girl." All the parties in the case are colored. Girls Sentenced for Larceny. Maggie Farrls, a Syrian girl, was given a sentence of sixty days in the county jail on a larceny charge In the city court this morning. She was accused by Mrs. Alice Michen, 8522 Buffalo avenue, whose home she entered yesterday on a pretext that she was a peddler, and stole a number of articles of female wearing apparel. The girl's defense was that the clothing was given her in exchange for stuff she sold, and she exhibited a peddler's license In support of her claim. Bad Boy in Court. Michael Mongan, a fifteen-year-old Hegewlsch boy arrested by Officer Klein of the "Grassvllle force" on complaint of Henry Garrison, principal of the Hegewlsch school, was paroled to his father this morning by Municipal Judge Goodnow. Mr. Garrison corn-

plained that the Mongan bay had broken windows in the school house and behaved badly on numerous occasions, and that he refused to go to school. The father promised to send the boy to school and keep him out of bad company. Alleged Robbers Held. Emil Kurtz and Gus and Edward Rotzer, the three Bridgeport men arrested about ten days ago for assault and robbery on charges preferred by

George and Kasper Morowskl. by whom Kurtz was seriously wounded with a knife, were held to the grand jury In bonds of $1,000 each in the municipal court yesterday. Kurtz had just been discharged from the Washington Park hospital, where he was taken by the police after his encounter with the Morowskl brothers. Press Club Entertained. The members of the South Chicago Press club, entertained at dinner last night by Judge Charles N. Goodnow at his home, 7200 Euclid avenue, enjoyed themselves until 11 o'clock with the Judge's wine and cigars. Judge M. F. Girten, who will succeed Judge Goodnow in tho South Chicago municipal court, was a guest. Much of the success of the affair was due to the efforts of Judge Goodnow's mother, who Is a regular contributor of poetry to a Chicago daily paper, and whose literary connections Induced the club to vote her an honorary membership last night. GETS DRUNK IN BOARDING . HOUSE; BLIND PIG UNCOVERED. Mike Keklcft at Gory Haled Into Court At Midnight Pays $25 and Costa. Mike Keklcs, one of the foreign boarding house keepers on Prospect avenue, was arrested on a warrant sworn out by one of his patrons last evening and prosecuted for selling liquor without a license. The boarder was picked up in a drunken condition by Officers Jenkins and Catey and when they took him in he told how he had purchased liquor at the boarding house and offered to testify against Kekics. This was shortly after midnight, but without further ado a warrant was sworn out before Judge Fitzgerald, who had been summoned, and the officers returned to get Keklcs. In the meantime a man had been dispatched for Deputy Prosecutor Barden and when he came, Mike was haled into court together with several additional witnesses that had been picked up. The witnesses told readily how Mike had sold them liquor, made according to the Gary prescription of two parts alcohol, one part prune Juice and coffee mixed and three parts diluted wa ter. Kekics tried to explain that that was part of their board, but the judge failed to se It that way and found him guilty and taxed up $25 and costs. By this time Mrs. Kekica and another boarder arrived and between them managed to pay the fine so that Mike could get out. Court adjourned at 2:30. Briefs.

It Is a far cry from guerillas to "Little Lord Faruntleroy," but the story reminded a man who heard of it of an experience which befell Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett. When her now famous story "Little Lord Fauntleroy" was running as a serial she happens to be on a train bound for a New Je. sey suburb. In the seat across the aisle sat a small girl and her mother. The child asked the mother to buy the last number of a magazine so that she might read the new chapters of Fauntleroy. The leaves were uncut and after trying in vain to get her mother to lend her a hairpin to use as a papei knife the child began hacking out the uncut pages with her hands. Mrs Burnett took one of her own visiting cards and handed it to the youngster. The child cut the leaves with it with out even turning it over to see whost name it bore, and then returned it. She never knew that she was within two feet of the author of the Etory which she was reading with suck eagei interest. Drank Gasoline. A 14-year-old boy in the Union Iron works, San Francisco, having seen men start gasoline flowing from a barrel Into a hose by sucking the end of a hose, thought he would try it, but the gasoline responded bo quickly that a pint of it had gone down his throat before the experimenter could get his mouth away.

"Now, do let mo propose you as a member of the club," says Smith. "But suppose they blackball me?" replies Brown. "Pooh! Absurd! Why, my dear follow, there's not a man In tho club who knows you, even!" A lady, very desirous of concealing the awful fact that she is the same age as her husband, observed to a visitor: "My husband is 40; there are just five years between us." "Is it possible?" was the unguarded reply of her friend. "I give you my word you look as young a3 he does." A3 unexpected must have been the reply of the husband whose wife said: "You have never taken me to the cemetery." "No, dear," he answered; "that is a pleasure I have yet in anticipation!" It is related of a portrait painter that, having recently painted the per trait of a lady, a critic who had Just dropped in to see what was going oa in the studio exclaimed: "It is very nicely painted; but why do you take such an ugly model?" "It is my mother!" calmly replied the artist. "Oh, pardon, a thousand times!" from the critic, in great confusion. "I ought to have perceived it She resembles you completely!" On a similar occasion a facetlou3 friend, inspecting a portrait, said to the artist: "And this is Tom Evans, is it? Dear, dear! And I remember him, such a handsome, jolly-looking chap a month, ago. Dear, dear!" Paper of Real Value. Some genius has invented a new kind of paper that will crumble and go to pieces a short time after it ha3 been written on.
