James Cox was found lying near the foot of Illinois street at 10 o'clock Satur day morning with a gas! in his sealp. He said he had lieen .shot hy Max Schmidt, a saloon kee|»er near hy. ('< x was sent to the county hospital and Schmidt arrested. At the county hospi tal the attending physician said Cox had not 1 let'll shot, and that the scalp wound was of a trilling naitire. Cox was re turned to tlie East Chicago avenue sta tion and lockeel up. Schmidt was charged with assault, gave bond and was re leased. Patrolman Becker went to Schmidt s saloon ami secured possession of a pe culiar revolver. It is circular in shape ami resembles a jmeket tape measure with a short barrel attachment. Inside the device is it revolving cylinder xvith seven chandlers of Small caliber. The revolver is held in the small of the hand, with the barrel protruding through the lingers. The operator can discharge tin* weapon by squeezing it, and the pro- trmling barrel also serves the purpoM* of brass knuckles. Cox said that Seliniidt struck him with this weapon several times ami then shot him in the head. The caliber of the revolver is only 22, the bullets being oblong in shape. The weapon makes only a slight report, hut is eapableof doing considerable damage. It is the first of its kind the jioliee of the East Chicago Avenue station have seen. —Chicago Herald. The Dog’* Naim* Wa- IVi'k. The Prince of Wales is very fond of the theater and is a gn at admirer of the genius of .Miss (lettevieve Ward. Hi once called upon the famous actress in the greenroom of the Prince of Wales’ theater. His royal highness was accom panied by the Duke of Edinburgh, Piincn Teek and a Russian nobleman. While they were conversing Miss Ward, hearing the jingle of the ta ils worn b it tiny 1 H*t dog who followed her every where, and fearing sin* might 'tray off, called out; •‘Conic here, Teek!” The gentlemen started, and Miss YYitrd hastily a!>olngi/.cd, n•collecting the name of one of her distinguished visit' irs. “My little dog’s mmm is Teek—short for Thcela, a (ieriuan character in one of my plays. ’’ They all laughed heartily, and in came the little fellow with the princely name and .-traightway rushed at the nuke of Edinburgh. “She xvill bite me,” exclaimed the duke. “Basket, Teek! cried Mb's Ward re provingly, and the tittle creature, with prompt ots'dience, ran tint of her room and curled herself up in the ha>ket. As her visitors were der-eending the stairs Miss Ward heard them laughing heart ily, and she plainly distinguished the von the Priner of Wales as lie slapped h:s cousin on the shoulder and Siiiel niivrilv, “Basket, Teek!"—London Tit -Bits. ^ The Kx|>I»kIoii Never ( ante.

Of fuses they had plenty, and they dexterously inserted them as they meandered along the street, supplying a new oua ns fast as one burned out. They operated the practical joke by olio of them carrying the dan gerous looking cracker under his arm ttml the other pretending to lire it un known to him.
