REMARKABLE MAN EATS FIVE
HUNDRED POUNDS OF GLA88.
From The San Francisco Chronicle.
Nobody knows his name, yet every
body In Kennewick, Wash., Is acquaint
ed with him. “Irish Tim’' Is the name
by which he answers when asked to
have a drink; but there are few bar
tenders In Kennewick who will now-
consent to servo him unless n chain
Is Ilrst fastened to the glas.s for Tim
has a penchant for eating such dellca-
rles ns beer bottles, tumblers and other
glassy receptacles in which the In
ebriating beverages are dispensed.
Tim Is n stnlwnrt fellow, and a veri
table giant, 6 feet 5 Inches tall, heavy
In proportion, with great, broad, pow
erful shoulders that look as though
they could furnish a force sufficient to
put several Jim Jeffries out of busi
ness without the least exertion.
Tim only wears a No. 14 shoe, spe
cially made to order, and has a hand
big enough to cover nn ordinary saucer.
He Is perhnps the strongest man In
the West outside of a circus, and he at
tributes his marvelous strength to the
fact thut he has eaten glaaa ever alnce
a small boy In Ireland.
When Irish Tint made his appearance
In Kennewick he caused the natives
to Imagine suddenly that they had all
gone craiy. and were "aeeln' things."
The first extraordinary thing the big
fellow did was to go Into a grocery
store nnd purchase a half dosen glass
tumblers. Then he strolled leisurely
out to the curb of the plank sidewalk,
sat down, opened up the bundle, and
proceeded to devour the glasses much
ns n schoolboy devours his noonday
lunch. A- good-slxed crowd had soon
accumulated, and. of course, everybody
thought at Ilrst that he was working
Off a little of Hermann legerdemain.
Hut Tim sat there as ImlTtrerent to
their gaze und crltrlama ns an as
tronomer to the maneuvers of an ant
colony. When he had devoured the
Inst of the six tumblers he arose slow
ly, smacked his lips, looked around to
see that he had left no scraps and
sauntered Into a nearby saloon In
search of n “chaser." Of course, the
bartender wouldn't accept payment
from a man who could draw such a
large crowd os Tim hail done, so the
hlg fellow got Ills drink for nothing.
But when the fellow behind the bar

glass, It lmd followed the chaser. Tint

"You see. I started In when I was Just

seemed to require It, and from that
time on almost dally I have eaten all
the way from one lo ten or fifteen
ounces of glass. The past two weeks
I have been working at a railroad
ramp, where 1 couldn't get ahold of
any, so today I ate a bit more than
Usual. So. you see. It doesn't hurt me.
I'll wager that In my time 1 have
eaten over 200 pounds of gloss—yes,
maybe all of SOU pounds. It makes me
fat. However, I’ll wager, also. If any
body wants It that way, that less than
an ounce of the stuff will kill any man
In Kennewick. Who wants to try It?”
Irish Tim never experiences any dif
ficulty In obtaining all he wants to
drink, for when the craving for whis
ky comes upon him he Immediately
makes the proposition to some of "the
boys" to "buy him a drink and he will
eat the glass." Of course, he gets the
drink. |

Any skeptical-minded person can read

any resident of Kennewick, where hla
glass-devouring proclivities have for
some time been creating considerable
wonder and consternation. There Is no

It Is completely pulverised. Neverthe
