Queer Facts and Thrilling Adven-

“Paene is a fellow serving a life sen-
tence in the penitentiary at Joliet who
owes his incarceration to a dream of
mine,” said a Chicago detective to a St.
Louis Globe-Democrat man. “In '87 a
hackman was shot down on West Madi-
son-st. by a& man with whom he had
trouble about a fare. The murderer got
away, and nothing was heard of him for
8 year or more. Finally we got a tip
that he was in the city, and I was de-
tailed to round him up. I soon became
convinced that he was hiding on the
North Side, but to save me I could not
locate-him. I searched for two weeks
without getting sight of my man or dis-

my room, walked leisurely down to the

thirty years ago I was sketching on the

accosted me. He even looked at my |
