rected to his room. The Elder Chois
ser reached for a pistol but Detective
Hawely seized it and wrested It from
his hand. At the same moment Louis
Choisser , opened . fire, which they
promptly returned. Joseph Choisser
was struck by a . bullet, frdta an offi
cer's pistol and killed Instantly. The
Are from Louis Chooser's revolver be
came so hot that the officers retreated
into the hallway, A moment : later
the young man threw open the
door a:if walked nto 'the hall with a
revolver in each hand .firing as he
came.' Aiming one of: his revolvers
directly at Detective Murphy's breast,
he fired, but missed the officer. Be
fore he could, take aim for another
shot both Murphy and Cowan fired,
two bullets pased through the young
man's breast. He died instantly.
After the battle was over the offi

New York, Dec. 18. Shipments of
Sood cod liver oil to this port are be
coming, so Jew as to cause much anx
iety in medical and drug circles. Prices
have reached record 'figures. Norweg
ian' cod liver oil is most highly prized.
In, the week of December 21, 1901, the
price for oil was $25.50. The price is
now from $105 to 130. The cause of
the scarcity is said to be the destruc
tion of cod scales.

..McEwen, the hypnotist, carried out
his blindfolded drive today as he prom
ised to' do. . He went through with the
program without a hitch, entertaining
hundreds who . had gathered on the
streets to witness the performance.; A
committee composed of Messrs. C. G.
Palmberg, Frank Hart, Lou Spraver,
William EInger and E.Lindlngam con
cealed a book in the shoe store next to
the Central hotel. At the , top of page
361 the word Monday was selected
Messrs. 'Sprauer and Palmberg made a
detour of the olty before they placed
the book under the counter of the
store and took up their position at the
door of the store to await the arrival of
the hypnotist., At about 1 o'clock
Mr. McEwen stepped Into a two horse
open buRgy at the. door of the opera
house. He was accompanied by the
other members of the committee.' A
heavy black handkerchief was 'tied in
many folds about his eyes. Standing
erect, he seized the lines and tho won.
dferful drive was begun. The course
taken was identical to th.vt followed !y
the two members of the committee that
hid the book.. It 'was down Twelfth
street to Commercial, west on Commer
cial to 'Seventh, north on Seventh to
3ond,east on fcond to Tenth, south on
Tenth to Commercial and east ore Com
mercial to the shoe store. Upon reach
ing the place McEwen drew rein, jump
ed from the buggy, entered the stove
and went 'without hesitation to ihe
counter and 'secured the book. Then
he drove back to the opera house and In
the presence of the committee placed
his finger on the word. The members
of the committee testify that every
thing connected with the performance
was perfectly straight. Those who oc
cupied the carriage , with McEwen
felt rather nervous when woodpiles
and street cars were approached but
nothing like an accident occurred.
At' of Wise' customers who have
bought $10 worth of goods or over since
June 1, 1903, who have not as yet re
