From that section of the Western Addi- | tion in the neighborhood of the Hayes | and McAllister street carhouses is float- | ing a strange rumor of an attempted hold-up, a domestic difficulty and a wild | race of a scantily clad man through.the | darkness of the night. The gripmen and the conductors on various lines of the | United Railroads are discussing the mat- ter with interest and hilarity. Every hour new and pleasing features are being added. But back of it all is a sad story, deal- ing with the misfortunes which attended | two thirsty men and illustrating the re- sults of a misplaced friendship. The dramatis personae are a German grocery- man, a gripman, a conductor and the two | dry-throated Bohemians previously men- tioned. The scene is laid on the sidewalk | In front of Green's lodging-house, which of MecAllister The time, 10 | is located at the corner street and Central avenue. Fred Menke, who dispenses to his neigh bors bacon, beer and all intermediate commodities, was busily engaged in as- suaging the thirst of two friends in the rear of his establishment when the cus- tomers’ money petered out. They at- tempted to negotiate a loan, but failed signally. Then they steered away from the bar, out into the depths of the dark- ness. After an interval the groceryman removed his apron, took his hat from the | peg behind the bar and with a word to his assistant also disappeared into the night. Within a short two minutes there arose the sound of a conflict, which was first followed by a confused murmur of hu- man voices and then by wild cries of fear, | wonder and vengeance. People who | rushed to the doors of their houses in | alarm saw a vision of a man In negligee breaking sprinting records down the road. | It was asserted that where his lower | limbs should have been was nothing but | a whitish blur in the darkness. In the | faint light which emanated from Green's | lodging-house three startled men could be seen gazing vacantly after the vanish- ing apparition. It is sald that Menke, after leaving his grocery, had turned down Central avenue. As he came to the lodging-house his two friends, it is said, stepped from a dark stairway ‘and cried, “Now, will you lend us some money.” Menke stopped not a moment to question the identity of the men, but struck out left and right vigor- ously and with telling effect. One man had -recefved a staggering blow on the eye and the groceryman was just about to put the: finishing touches on the other fellow when the figure of a man descended from above. The new ar- rival landed right in the middle of the group on the sidewalk. He picked him- self up immediately and flashed out of sight. In the one brief glimpse afforded between the appearance and disappear- ance of the visitor an onlooker discerned on nim some shoes and stockings. Close by those big wheels on which the cables wind the carmen are gathering in their lelsure minutes and whispering one to another that the specter-like figure is a gripman and that he leaped in human | fashion from a second-story window. And furthermore, It is said, that the unex- pected arrival of an irate husband was the sole and only cause of the visitor's | unusual method of departure. And again | —beneath the breath this time—rumors of an impending divorce suit are current. Meanwhile Menke chuekles and chuckles and will admit but little. The cop on the | beat says family troubles are no trouble ( for him, The carmen are anxiously wait- ing to see how it will all come out and the gripman takes the middle of the street when he rounds corners. There is whisky and whisky, but.only one ‘Jesse Moore'' Whisky—the kind doctors rec- ommend for its purity and healthfulness. ¢ —_————————— Veteran Guardsmen to Take Part.
