The smiles of two women were the magnets which drew Dear- born Williams of 1253 Euclid avenue, a Barnes Medical College student, into an escapade which may cost his life. Whether or not the smiles. were intended for him has not been established. ‘ The women fled at 2 a. m. Tuesday, when their escort stabbed Williams seven times, at Spring avenue and Morgan street. A flirtation in a downtown restaurant started the treuble. After Williams was stabbed, his chum, Louis Fields, helped him on a ' street car and took him to the boarding _* house where Fields lives at 3022 Pine » | etreet.

PATIENT CURED ~—TRRQUGH TAIT i. bl The Rev. William Smith Tells of Recovery of Man’ Given Up by Doctors. The Rev. William Smith of 6438 Wise avenue, pastor of the Memorial Congre- gational Church, told a Post-Dispatch reporter Tuesday how Robert Lorentz of South Kirkwood, a typhoid fever suf- ferer, was cured last August by treat- ment like that of the Emmanuel move- ment, after a physician had despaired of his recovery. ‘It has been my privilege,’’ said the Rev. Mr. Smith in response to questions Tuesday, ‘to help several sick persons toward recovery by persuading them to fix their thoughts on the Divine agd the Eternal. This has supplied the spir- itual element of cure and the physical element has been supplied by the physi- clan.

Patient Was Given Up. “The case of Mr. Lorentz was perhaps the most notable of these. At the time of his illness, last August, I knew some- thing of the Emmanuel movement, but the methods I used with him were the same I had previously employed in other cases. “Mrs. Lorentz: had formerly been a member of my church, and I knew Mr. Lorentz. Last August hie brother called one Sunday and asked me to go with him to their home, saying Mr. Lorentz Was very sick and that the physician and the family had given up hope of his recovery. ‘ “I found him a very sick man indeed, pend I only remained in the room with him long enough to offer a brief praycr and to repeat a few verses. I tried at this first visit to relieve the patient of apprehension by making him feel that the issues of his illness was in God’s hands and that God would do what was best. Rally Began at Once. “Returning the next day, I found that he had rallied. I remained with him perhaps ten minutes, repeating to him such verses as ‘Lo, I am with you,’ and ‘I will in no wise fail thee nor for- sake thee.’ “The improvement the next day was even more marked and I continued my visits, the regular medical treatment also continuing. Soon he was convales- in’ Kirkwood. | ; “T am a believer in the Emmanuel ‘{t/4— that the. minister,

in Two customers walked Huckelenfrock’s saloon at 1301 North Eighth street. A few minutes latcr they literally ‘“‘blew out’ under circum- stances which caused a great crowd to collect and start a rumor that the Black Hand had tried to wreck the block. After buying several drinks at the var the customers, who had never been in the place before, began an argument as to which of them was the stronger. “See that empty whisky barrel?” said one. “I can lift that over my head.” “Bet you another drin:: you can't,” his companion challenged. The strong man grabbed the barrel. He pulled and tugged and heaved, but he couldn’t budge it from the floor. ‘“‘Ha, ha,’ laughed the other. no Sandow.”’ “You're putting up a game on ms, said the heavyweight lifter. ‘“‘There's whisky in the barrel.’’ He lighted a match and held it over the bung-hele, peering into the barrel. A piece of the burning match dropped off and went through the bung-hole. There was a terrific explosion. The head of the barrel salled into the alr. The two customers were hurled head first through the. swinging door. Men and women living in the tenement above the saloon came pouring into’ the street, When pol.cemen pushed their way through the crowd they found the whisky barrc! blazing in the middle of the saloon fi.or. John Beltz, the bar- tender,/lay stunned under the counter. The head of the barrel is firmly im- bedded in the ceiling and the proprietor of the saloon says he will leave it there to show how strong his whisky is.
