YOUNG KLEIN ARRESTED
Suspension that He Burglarized His Father's House Proved to Be Correct

Richard KLEIN, 16 years of age, was arraigned in police court to-day on a charge of burglary and grand larceny by breaking into the house of his father, John KLEIN, at 294 Lexington ave. and stealing $115. belonging to August KLEIN. The boy pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The suspicion of Captain ZIMMERMAN and his men that the burglarly was committed by the KLEIN boy and another boy named HALEY proves to be correct. The KLEIN boy returned to the home of his brother-in-law on Charlotte St. last night togged out in a new suit. He admitted that he and HALEY committed the burglary and said that they went to Buffalo. He concluded to return and left HALEY in Buffalo. Young KLEIN was at once arrested. He had over $30 of the stolen money with him.

Action Brought by a Fellow Lawyer to Recover on a Promissory Note.
The troubles of C. Wilbur MONROE, the lawyer who is in the penitentiary serving out a two months' sentence for larceny, were accentuated to-day by the service of summons and complaint on him in an action brought against MONROE and his wife, Nina, to recover $50 on a promissory note. Frank M. GOFF, the attorney, is plaintiff in the action. His complaint says that MONROE gave him a promissory note for $50. May 1, 1897, and that principal and interest are still due.
Judgment in the case will probably be taken by default, as MONROE is not endeavoring to make a defense to the many proceedings brought against him. He did not defend the disbarrment proceedings instituted by the Rochester Bar Association, and, as a matter of course, Referee William CARTER will be forced to hand down a report disbarring him from practicing law.

MAD DOG BIT CHILD

Little Etta VELTZ Bitten in Face by Shepherd Dog.
A mad dog of the shepherd variety attacked 7-year-old Etta VELTZ, who resides at the corner of Joseph Ave. and Clifford St. early last evening and before the animal could be driven off by the child's parents it sunk its fangs into the little girl's face just above the left eye. The wound was a severe one and the girl was at once taken to the office of Dr. BECKER to have it dressed.
The child was playing in front of her home when the dog attacked her and her screams attracted her parents, who succeeded with great difficulty in driving the animal off.
The brute was frothing at the mouth and snapping at everything with which it came in contact. After the VELTZ girl was rescued the neighbors started a pursuit of the dog and finally succeeded in killing it. The body was this morning sent to the office of Dr. GOLER.

BICYCLIST SAVED LIFE

Jacob HARTZ Punctured Jugular on Scythe, But Wheelman Came to Rescue With Tire Repairing Kit.
Jacob HARTZ had a remarkable story to tell in the office of Superintendent of the Poor Lodge, this morning The office has been visited by men with peculair tales, but this one probably carries off all the honors.
HARTZ addressed Assistant Superintendent McGONEGAL.
"See this bandage on my neck?" he said. "Sure you do.
You can't help seein' it. Well, I'm all right, exceptin' that bunch on my neck."
"I was out in the country workin' for a farmer to get money enough to pay my way through to Batavia, when I met with an accident. I was cuttin' oats for a farmer, and fell on the scythe, The point of the scythe pierced my throat, and chipped the jugular vein.
"There happened to be a wheelman comin' along at that instant, and he jumped off his bike, climbed over the fence to where I was, whipped out his bicycle repair kit and went right to work. He shoved some of the sticky stuff that he used to repair his tire right into the wound, and wound thetape around this. The blood that had been spurtin' out in a stream stopped in an instant, and I felt life comin' back to me."
By this time Mr. McGONEGAL didn't know what sort of a man he had to deal with. He sat back in his chair, and looked with wide-open eyes at him.
"It's all straight." continued the visitor. "I was afraid I wouldn't be any good to work after that, especially as the plugging might come out of the puncture in my neck. I was a little nervous about it. and took to the road. And here I am.
Mr. McGONEGAL didn't know what to do with the fellow's request for transportation to Batavia, but finally decided that as the man seemed well and strong, he would have to deny it. He told the man to come back to him if anything went wrong with the bicycle rider's surgical operation. The visitor didn't want to go to a hospital, or Mr. McGONEGAL would have suggested that he go to one for the purpose of having a surgeon examine the injury. Up to date this is the strangest use to which the bicycle puncture repairer has been put.
