Faith

In Thayer, Mo., one Otto Luchsinger pushed through a crowd, entered a burning building, explained to those who would have restrained him that fire could not touch him because of his "faith in God," died of his burns a short time later.

Fear

Near Bourges, France, a wild boar, hunters after him, dashed down the street of the village of Grand Mallery, scrambled through a doorway, through a hall, into a room where lay, as he had lain for months, an invalid. This invalid screamed, arose, leapt out of the window. The hunters came, killed the boar; the sick man returned to work.

Mop Fight

Near Milwaukee, in an insane asylum, John Kuehn, 57, "a man of mystery," seized a heavy mop. One Albert Joe did likewise. They duelled. John Kuehn was slain. Albert Joe, the victor, was subdued by guards.

Bully

In Brooklyn, one William Wakoz, longshoreman, 6 ft. 4 in. tall, and roaring drunk, rolled down a street insulting men, women, children. There approached a priest who said : "Be a little more gentle, my good man." Up went the longshoreman's fist. "Go to Hell,'' cried he. The next moment, Bully Wakoz was on his back in the street with the priest astride him. The Bully was then arrested, fined.
