MAN WOUNDED TWICE
IN FIGHT FOLLOWING
QUARREL IN BARROOM
Patrolman Barely Missed by As-1
sailant Whom He Arrests
After Long Chase
Charles Sulliian. twenty-two years
old, of 22,-0 Stewart street, is in St.
Joseph's Hospital, suffering from bullet
wounds in the arm and leg. Sam Well
ington, twent) six years old, of 2113
Jefferson sdeet, is locked up in the
Nineteenth nnd Oxford streets station,
accused of the shooting. The prisoner
will hae n hearing toelny before Magis
trate Orelis.
The shooting happened last night fol
lowing nn nrgumeut between Welling
ton nnd Sullixnn. Pntcolmnn Williams,
of the Nineteenth and Oxford streets
station, attempted to arrest Welling
ton, a negro, but the man fired, the bul
let knocking the cap from the patrol

Nineteenth street, but was finally over
taken and arrested by Williams and Pa
trolman Dowling.
worry becnuse he wns probnbly nt the
I pln)ground, but I kept thinking all the
time that something must have hap
pened to him.
"He wns nil boy," Mrs. Ilnscnbaum
went on, "but not daring. He never
hopped cars nnd never tried to cross the
street in front of a car. Often when I
would think it perfectly safe to go
across, he would grab me by the arm
nnd tell me to vvnit. My neighbors
used to sny whnt an innocent boy he
wns."
When Mr. nosenbaum came home the
active search for the child was begun.
At the station house it was thought
that the little boy picked up on the
street could not be little Wilfred. M'he
polico thought the unidentified child
was eleven )cnrs old, while Wilfied
Ilosenbauni was but seven. When they
mentioned a blue signet ring with the
initials W. II. lt.si tlic father xvas con
vinced and xvent to the hospital, where,
because of his nervous condition, the
news xvas finally given him that the
boy was dead. 1
The father was present nt the Front I
nnd Westmoreland streets btation house
when George McKlwee, who picked up
the boy nnd carried him to the Episco
pal Hospital, was given a hearing nnd
held without bnil by JIngistrate Cos

your Safeguard against imitations.
COOL, deliberate
thinking must
be done with cool,
comfortable minds,
and the mind cannot
be. cool unless the
body is comfortable.
The advent of Palm Beach
Cloth marked a distinct ad
vance in the possibilities of
manufacturing Summer
Clothing for Men, as it pro
vided a fabric adaptable to
making garments of char
acter style appearance.

the Weather,
We have

F When it's cool and
comfortable, here are
our Summer woolens

snappiest, smartest
lines we have ever laid
down on a drafting
board.
I Some have seam
waists, some have bell
sleeves, some have
slanting pockets on a
variety of angles.
I Some are single
breasters, some are
double breasters, some
have one button, some
have two, and some
have three.
I What all of them
have is something in
describable that none
others have, to wit
the style atmosphere of
our own workmanship.

that a season's fashion
features are pretty com
mon to all makes of
