assistance, she wculd secrete the ar
ticle she had planned to steal and by
the time the' water had arrived she
would recover sufficiently to be able
to leave.
It was 'during the Christmas fes
tivities at the hospital that Bertha
found a chance to get hold of some
keys that would nld In her esrapu.
Then she fainted. The attendants
carried her to the ward In which she
was confined and she became hyster
ical. Later she became quiet and was
left alone, and then she used the keys
she had obtained to get her liberty.
She made a similar attempt a month
' ago and was captured. The state au
thorities offer a reward for her capture.

ATTEMPTED HOLDUP.
Martin Nelson Stopped by Lone Rob
ber, Whom He Wounds.
' Tuesday morning, at about S o'clock.
Martin Nelson, a deckhand on the
dredger W. S. Ladd, was accosted by
a stranger as he went to work. The
man stepped out of a heavy shadow
at a corner of lower fourth street,
and said sharply;
"Qot any money with you?"
Nelson waa taken by surprise and
merely answered In the negative. A
pendant watch-guard at his vest pock
et caught the robber's eye,
, "Give me your watch, then," he de
manded.
Take it," was the brief reply.
The thief attempted to do so, afld
was met by a hard blow on the side
of his head with a closed knife, which
Nelson had whipped ont of his pocket.
Without further parley, he turned and
ran, covering the ground at a good
pace.
The wound must have been rather
a severe one, as the Intended victim
found his face and coat splashed with
the would-be footpad's blood. Mr.
Nelson Is unable to give any desrrlp
tlon of the man, and the only aid
to the officers In their search for him
will be the Injured head.
