BELIEVED PENNILESS;
HAS $5000 SAVED UP
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 24. To her
Tare presenco of mind, Mrs. L. J.
Aberno, aged 75 years, owes her life
today. Mrs. Labcron was crossing
Broadway when a Grand avenue car
bore down upon her. In tho crush of
street traffic, it was impossible for
her to escape.
Hundreds of Christmas shoppers
gazed horror stricken, expecting to
see tho aged woman ground to death
beneath the wheels. Mrs. Laberon
calmly sat down, an instant before
the fender struck her ankles. She
was toossed back against tho screen,
still sitting upright and thus she re
mained gazing benignly about when
a bndly frightened motormnn brought
the heavy car to a stop.
Then Mrs. Laberon was osisted to
ler feet. She was not even bruised
"I realized that if I sat down and
raised my feet, I would not be hurt,"
snid Mrs. Laberon after the unusual
experience. "I suppose most women
would have been excited but I was
not. It was fun riding on tho fon lor,
but I would not like to repeat it too
often."
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 24.
When friends of Miss Margaret Sul
livan, who died here roceutly, took
$2,000 in currency they found in her
trunk to a local bank today they
found that tho dead woman who was
believed' to have been penniless be
fore tho money was discovered, had
$3000 on deposit.
Miss Sulivan worked for 27 years
at tho same hotel. When tho propri
etor died several years ago, ho left
his faithful sen-ant $1000. Miss Sul
livan put the money in a bank and the
institution failed. Her friends be-
'is a shrewd trader. He ascertains
what you wnut and makes you pay
his price. Tho price is fidelity and

WIFE MURDERER WOULD
BUTT BRAINS OUT IN CELL
niLLSBORO, Or., Dec. 24. Fol
lowing his conviction on the charge
of wife murder yesterday, John D.
Roselair, attempted last night to
butt out his brains against the steel
walls of tho death cell.
After finishing his supper Rose
lair began to shriek like a maniac.
Following Sheriff Hancock's threat
to place him a straight-jacket Rose
lair promised to remain quiet for the
rest of tho night.
Shortly before midnight, however,
Guard Watt heard a thumping sound
enmnnting from the murder's cell
and an investigation showed Roselair
pounding his head against tho bars.
It is believed the prisoner is aping
insanity to bolster his application for
a new trial.
