FRITZ DIRKING DIES OF WOUND Officer Feld, Who Shot Him, Charged With Murder. AR Self Defense or Temporary Insanity May Be Plea of Slayer. S Fritz Dirking, who was shot by his son« in-law, Policeman Joseph Feld, at his residence, 11 Fair avenue, on Monday night, died at St. Luke's Hospital yester- day morning, shortly after § o'clock, and the body was removed to the Morgue. Feld, who had been booked on a charge of assault to murder, was immediately booked on a charge of murder. Feld did not display any emotion when told that his father-in-law was dead. After being booked, he asked Desk Ser- geant Melody to be allowed to walk around the prison and not be locked up, but Melody said he could not extend any such privilege without the consent of his superiors. Feld made the same re- quest of Sergeant Bidwell, who has charge of the prison, but he received the | same answer. During the day Feld was visited by his | mother, brother and a number of rela- | tives. The only time he showed any emo- | tion was when he saw his mother. Tears { fllled his eyes and for a moment he could not speak. Although he had been five | years on the fofce, he is not yet 27 years {of age. Attorney Choynski, who repre- sented him in the divorce suit brought by his wife, also visited him. Feld positively *declined yesterday to Urges the Necessity of ak y for publication.

LV Conrad Keith, & street sweeper, who s alleged to be worth in the nelghborhood of $20,000, was booked at the City Prison yesterday morning by Detectives Ryan and Taylor on a charge of petty larceny and a bronze clock was booked as evi- dence against him. The detectives saw Keith on Sunday night in a second-hand store on Clay street, trying to sell the clock for 32, and as he refused to give a satisfactory explanation of how he carhe into possession of the timeplece, he was Jalled pending an investigation. The detectives discovered that the clock had been stolen from a house in Belden | place and they declded to search Keith's | room, at 913 Montgomery street, as they had received an intimation that he was something of a ‘‘fence” for thieves. They found in a trunk nine watches, two gold chains, four razors, flve pairs of shears, | a large quantity of silver knives, forks | and spoons and a quantity of clothing, | They also found a.bag fllled with one-| cent pieces and near the bag nine bank | books and seyeral certificates of stock | in a building ‘and loan association. One of the bank books showed a deposit of | nearly $1000 and the others lesser | amounts. The officers continued their investiga- ions and say they ascertained that Keith worked as a street sweeper during the day and in the evening he bought arti- cles from crooks and sold them to sec- ond-hand dealers at a good profit. He said he bought the bronze clock from a | man he did not know for 70 cents, and was offering it for $2 when arrested, al-| though it is sald to be worth about $14. Keith is a native of Germany and came to this country a poor man fourteen | years ago. He is now 42 years of age. He has been in the city for seven years and for five years has been a street sweeper. He refused to put up balil for his release of to engage an attorney to defend him. Among his papers were found answers | to an advertisement for a wife. He ad-| mitted inserting the advertisement, but said that the women who answered it were not satisfactory and he was en- gaged to marry Miss Rose Bruder, a tel. ephone girl, who lives at 1134 Green street. She was an old acquaintance and their | marriage had been fixed for next Jan- uary. —_———— The Old Camper has for forty-five years had one article in his supply—Borden's Eagle Brand | Condensed Milk.

But It Has Proven of Interest and | Value to Thousands. | Common sense would suggest that if | one wishes to become fleshy and plump it can only result from the food we eat | pets in buminous or flesh forming food, like eggs, beefsteak, and cereals; in other | words the kinds of food that make flesh | are the foods which form the greater | part of our daily bills of fare. But the trouble is that while we eat enough and generally too much, the | stomach, from abuse and overwork, does not properly digest and assimilate it, | which is the reason so many people re- | main thin and under weight; the digest- | ive organs do not completely digest the food forming beefsteak and eggs and similar wholesome food. There are thousands of such who are really ~confirmed dyspeptics, -although | they may have no particular pain or in- convenience from their stomachs. If such persons would lay their preju- dices aside and make a regular practice seed oil; choose. of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the food | would be quickly and thoroughly digest- ed, because these tablets contain the natural peptones and diastase which every weak stomach lacks. and by sup- plying this want the stomach is soon enabled to reach its natural tone and vigor. ’ Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest every form of flesh forming food, meat, eggs, bread and potatoes, and this is the reason they so quickly build up, strengthen and invigorate thin, dyspep- tic men, women and children. Invalids and children, even the most delicate, use them with marked benefit as they contain no strong, irritating drugs, no cathartic nor any harmful in- gredient. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the most successful and most widely own of any remedy for stomach troubles be- cause it is the most reasonable and sci- entific of modern medicines. Stuart's’ Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by every druggist in the United Btates and Canada as well as in Great Britain, at 50 cents for complete treatment.
