BOYISH BANTER IS FATAL Edward Madsen Killed by Grasping Two Live Electrio Wires. INSTANTLY KILLED BY HEAVY CURRENT Warn eft. y His Companions Not to Tonrfc the Wires, bat Ho Dlere arsis tsa Warning, with Fatal Resnlte. In a spirit of bravado and with the ex pressed Intention of "bantering" hla youth ful companions, Edward Madsen, the 18-year-old son of Jens C. Madaen, climbed yeaterday afternoon to the top of one of the electrio light company's poles In the alley at the rear of 112 Fourth street and, despite the warning of his playmates, grasped the heavily charged feed wires with both hands. In a few seconds he fell to the ground a corpse, almost at the feet of his horrified young companions. Young Madsen lived with his parents at 119 Bluff street, his father being employed as a clerk la the store of John Beno Y Co. He attended the Third Street school and at the close of school yesterday afternoon, with several of hla young playmates, re paired to the home of Kenneth Harmon, the young son of Mrs. Rachel Harmon, at 112 Fourth street. For a while the hoys amused themselves by exercising vn the turning pole In the yard at the rear of the house. Then the lads began to "banter" one an other and dared one another to climb the pole and touch the first cross-arm. Thla feat all of the boys, except young Harmon, who had gone Into the house, accomplished, and then young Madaen, in a spirit of bra vado, said he would climb to the top and straddle the top cross-arm. Dead When He Fell. His companlona warned him of the dan ger, but he peralsted. On reaching the first arm he stood up on It and, despite the continued warnings of the boya below, seised the ' wires with both hands. His body straightened for a few seconds and then fell to the alley below. In falling the body struck the board fence, breaking one of the boards loose. The contact with the fence broke the lad's neck and fractured hla skull, but he was dead when he fell. Both hands where he had caught hold of the electric light wires were burned to the bone. The lifeless body of the little lad waa carried Into the warehouse of the Empkle Shugart Hardware company and laier re moved to Cutler's undertaking rooms on order of Coroner Treynor, who will hold an Inquest this morning. Horace Greer, the young son of L. H. Greer, one of the boys with young Madaen when he met his death, gave this account of the accident. He said after exercising on the turning pole until they an tired of this form of amusement they began to "banter" one another and each one In turn climbed the pole and plaoed their hands on the cross-arm. Toung Madaen then said: "I will 'banter' you all. I can climb to the top and atraddle'the top cross-arm," and proceeded to do so. His companions told bim not to touch the wires, as If he did he would get killed. Toung Madsen only laughed back at them and continued to climb. Reaching the flrat cros-arm, be stood up on It, and the other boys, fearing he would catch hold of the wires to sup port himself, called out ot him not to do so. Toung Madsen answered back that tne wires would not hurt him, as they were wranned" and. leanlna forward Over the cross-arm, grasped the two hlavy cables with both hands. Hla horrified companlona way smoke began to Issue from the wires and young Madsen's body straightened out for a few seconds and then fell back, strik ing the board fence In Its descent. Death had evidently come Instantane ously to the boy when ne grasped the wires, as they carry an exceedingly heavy voltage and the insulation on them affords no pro tection. The wrapping on the feed wires Is only placed there to prevent short cir cuiting in case other wires should come In contact with them. Theories oa Holdap. The police are of the opinion that the highwayman who held up and robbed Charles W. Letchford in his butcher shop Monday night was one of the two men who a few weeks ago broke the front window ot Herman Leffert's jewelry store oa Brosdway and carried away considerable plunder, which they dropped oa being pursued. One of the men who robbed the Leffert (tore dropped a revolver which proved to be one of those stolen from Wright Wtlhelmy In Omaha. The revolver which Letchford succeeded la taking from the bandit who attacked him Monday night also turna out to be one of the revolvers stolen from the Wright sV Wllbelmy store. This leads the police to the belief that If the fellow who robbed Letchford was not one of the men who broke the window of Lef fert's Jewelry store, he at least belongs to ths sams gang of holdup men. The hat which Letchtord's assailant left behind him bore the trade mark ot Frederick, the Omaha hatter. Two men lvlng the namea of J. T. Mur phy and O. C. Carson were arrested yeater day afternoon In a Broad wan saloon on auaplclon. Murphy waa found to be car rying a large Colt revolver, but the number did not correspond; with that ot any stolen from the Omaha firm. A tip was given the police that Murphy and Carson had while drinking In the saloon, ststed that they would kill any fellow who tipped them off. Murphy had letters addressed to him In care .of the Union Pacific. Omaha, ana is tnougbt to be a strike breaker. Letchford failed to Identify either of the men as tbe one who had held him up. N. V.

Fred Glenn, a cattle driver, amused him aelf yeaterday sfternon by riding onto the porch of the realdrnee of W. C. Webater on the Judaon farm, eaat ot the city. After breaking the porch down Glenn proceeded IIP) to tireak tbe windows of the house with bis riding whip.

A amall bank robbery was committed at tbe town of Runnells, twelve miles east ot Des Moines, this morning. The robbers blew open a ssfe In the bank and got $180, which was easy accessible. They were on the point of blowing open or unlocking an Inner door, which contained a larger sum of money, when they were frightened away.

About the same time It was discovered that the rob bers had taken a team from a livery stable nearby. This team brought them to Des Moines. They arrived Just at 6 o'clock and hitched the team in front of the home of Sheriff Mattern on the east side and then walked away. They were seen to hitch the horses there by a carpenter, who had started to his work.' end he gave a very fair description of the men. The police here do not know who they are. The team had been driven hard. The robbers would have secured about 34.000 if they had broken into the safe. Cashier Gilbert of the bank arrived, in the city this after noon and stated that two men had been seen about the place tor several days and he would be able to recognize them at once.

Rheumatism "TIII Those who have ever felt its keen, cutting pains, or witnessed the intense suffering; of others, know that Rheumatism is torture, and that it is rightly called "The King of Pain." All do not suffer alike. Some are suddenly seized with the most excrucia ting pains, and it seems every muscle and joint in the body was being torn asunder. Others feel only occasional slight pains for weeks or months, when a sudden change in the weather or exposure to damp, chilly winds or night air brings on a fierce attack, lasting for days perhaps and leaving the patient with a weakened constitution or crippled and deformed for all time. An acid, polluted condition of the blood is the cause of every form and variety of Rheumatism, Muscular, Articular, Acute, Chronic, Inflammatory and Sciatic, and the blood must be purged and purified before there is an end to your aches and pains. External applications, the use of liniments and plasters do much toward temporary relief, but such treatment does not reach the real cause or cleanse the diseased blood ; but S. S. S., tbe greatest of all blood purifiers and tonics, does cure Rheumatism by antidoting and neutralizing the poisonous acids and building up the weak and sluggish blood. It is safe 1! I I.

AMES TAKES A HAND Wife of Former Mayor Denounces Enemiei I of Her Husband. ! NOTHING TO BASE CHARGES UPON Says that He la Not a t'naltlve from Justice and that Hla Where aboata Have Alvrasa Been Known. HANCOCK. N. H., March S Former Mayor Albert A. Ames of Minneapolis, who is here awaiting the result of extradition proceedings, said In the course of an Inter view: "I am perfectly willing to go back and face the charges, hut 1 really do not feel able. I know that I am not strong enough to stand the Journey, and the physicians advise against It. I am perfectly Innocent. I know they cannot prove any ot these charges, which are due to politics, and you know what that means." "It Is persecution." Interrupted Mrs. Ames, Indignantly. "Thev simply want to injure the doctor. They want to get him out of the way." Dr.' Ames, according to his wife's state ment, to which he nodded approval, has been 111 since November 20, 1901. The date Is significant from the fact that the charge of accepting a bribe, on which the papers for his requisition have been granted, la Naaed on an Incident aald to have taken place on November 15. 1901, or Ave days prevloua to his first Illness. "I want to say Just here," said Mrs. Ames in a most positive manner, "that Dr. Ames Is not and never has been a fugitive from Justice. There has never been a time ex cept when we were traveling that those In terested In Minneapolis did not know where he was." Rnds Hendache'a Torture. Lazy livers and sluggish bowels cause headaches.
