tho fores by the collar, dragged him
from the pile. The jurist then directed
the second year men to disperse, with

a quarrel on the street. She was
thought to bo dying when the am
bulance reached tho hospital. Tho
blood was injuring from a long wound
in the left ventricle, which supplies tho
body with blood while the right pumps
to the lungs. The surgeon knew the
flow must be clicked at once If the
woman was to be saved. The opera
tion was decided upon. It was per
formed by two suigcons, with fifteen
more looking on.
The heart was laid bare and the
surgeons saw that the wound was very
severe. It would require six stltehcB.
During intervnls between the beats of
tho heart the ncedlo was inserted six
times and tho flow of blood was
stopped.
The wound was carefully dressed and
the BiirgeonB waited to see tho result.
The patient rallied rapidly and the sur
geons expressed the belief that she
will recover.
Mrs. Klngsloy left her husband threo
months ago. When her husband mot
her for the first time he appealed to
her to return to their home. She says
It was her intention to do so, but she
did not reply at once and her husband
stabbed her. She was carried to tho
hospital ami the husband ran away.
Ho was captured three hours later.

pays: The recent decision of the su

likely, It Is said, to result in Mime In

There are quite a number of Christian
f-clcntlsts In this town nnd it is un
derstood that tiny are preparing to
mandamus the school board to prevent
nn infraction of their constitutional
rights. The gioutnl of this complaint
is that the board compels instruction
In physiology, physics nnd other
studls which presuppose existence of
mnttcr. The doctrine of the non
existence of mnttcr they assert, Is one
of tho cardinal tenets of their relig
ious belief, and they ennnot be taxed
for the support or schools engaged in
tearing down their religion. They will
ask that the court torbld the teaching
of such studies. Their position seems
to bo In line with the recent decision
of the court, and the outcome of such
a Bult will be awaited with gicat In

Fifty dollars and costs was the fine

of making away with two brass ioi

He was taken out from tho t tv

He was represented by Colonel Phll
pott nB his attorney und after a long
consultation he was advlhcd to plead
guilty.
The Justice fined him $.10 and costs.
Ho piomptly replevlned the line, which
is the same as securing a stay of exe
cution for live months. This plea of
petty larceny was acceptable to the
county attorney, as there Is some
doubt whether or not Krollck was pos
sessed of sufficient mentality to know
just exactly what he was doing.

California Inst week, stntlng thnt tho
fellow had been caught repeating his
old crimes In Sacramento, Cal., pleaded

that he had served out the three) years

which was given him a little over u
year ago In Omahn, after an extraor
dinary caieer of crime.
Sunday Chief of Police Donahue re
ceived word from John Sullivan, chief
of police of Sacramento, Cal., that Hln
kle, of whom nothing had been heard
since his esiupe from the Nebraska
penitentiary, had JuH been sentenced
to n term of fifteen years in prison

I tinkle's career In Omnlia reach! like
a fairy tale. He came to Omaha soon
after the end of his enlistment In the
regular army He had served through
the Spanish-American war and boro
the credentials to show that he had

shoit time had come to bo looked on us
a leuder. He was well educated and
agreeable and hi:, excellent ninuners
gave him a lootliold everywhere.
Coincident with I tinkle's coming to
Omaha a series of burglaries com
menced nnd soon gnvn the police do
pal tmont considerable worry. Clue nf

and finally, after all the city detectives
hod taken a try nt ferreting the mys

bide their time mull the robber should
accidentally glto nomc hint of his
Identity.
In the menntlme Hlnklo had been

It was about this time when the new

That night, while Hlnklo was serving
Ice cream and cako to the host of
