DOG TRIES TO SUICIDE
TORTURED BY CURBSTONE LOAF
CPS THE ANIMAL SEEKS
RELIEF IN DEATH.
Threw Himself Under the Wheels of
a s'. eet Car in Minneapolis—
Wss Rescued.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.. July S.—
Three times yesterday afternoon a
handsome stray water spaniel at
tempted to commit suicide by throwing
himself beneath the wheels of a Hen
nepin avenue street car at Washing
ton avenue.
Bach time he was pulled away and
the third time Patrolman Charles
Hallman, whose heat is at Washing
ten and Hennepin avenues, took the
dog to the rear of Donahue's saloon,
where he was tied.
A crowd <>f curbstone idlers, search
ing foi amusement of any kind, had
caught the poor homeless brute and
applied a liberal quantity of a highly
irritating chemical to the creature's
body. For a time the dog rolled
about the pavement, howling with
pain. Seeing an approaching car, and
beside himself with the pain, the suf
ferer sought to end his agony by
throwing himself in front of it.
Street car men pulled the dog away
and tin- car passed.
Tie- poor brute, literally crying with
pain, waited until another car came,
when lie again tried to plunge beneath
the wheels. Again he was rescued.
Still a third time he sought death, and
tin ally Patrolman Hallman tied him up
until the Irritating effects of the
» hemic tl had (. eased.
The young rowdies who tortured the
dog escaped before the officer arrived.

May Have Been Murdered for Another
IOWA FALLS, lowa. July .8. —That
.1. F. Hardin of Bldora, treasurer of
the State Sunday School association
was the intended victim of the burg
lar who shot Rev. Charles F. Mayne
is a theory now advanced in the mat
ter of tin- robbers' raid made on this
. ity last week. It is said Mr. Mayne
and Mr. Hardin look very much alike.
A meeting was held by the associa
tion at th.' opera house and $1566 was
raised to pay off a debt. It was known
that Mr. Hardin would rece've
the money and the burglars may have
confused the two men on account of
their resemblance and the close prox
imity of their stopping places.

WEIRD? BEING IN WUUUS
WILD, HAIRY AND AFFRIGHTED,
HE FLED ON APPROACH OF
PROSPECTOR.
Peculiar Experience of Mike King in
the Big Forests of British
Columbia.
.. VANCOUVER, B. C. July 8. —A
weird story of a wild man, encountered
far inland from the headwaters o£
Campbell river, is told by Mike King,
who had penetrated Into a territory
religiously shunned by Indians, none
oi whom would either accompany him
as usual, nor make any explanation of
their conduct. King had been mak
ing his solitary way through the for
est, not Inning seen a human fact
for days, when a cry of mingled sur
prise and fear, very human in its
quality and foreign to the forest land
brought him to a sudden halt, rifle in
hand and eyes straining for an expla
nation. This was quickly afforded, !
hut in such a manner as to try the
nerves of even such a woodsman as
Mike King.
About 100 yards from where he stood
or even less, an uncouth human faced
him, seemingly all uncertain whether
to stand or fly. The form was that of
a large and angular man. completely
covered with hair, with long arms
hanging loosely, and hands reaching
below the knees. The eyes were
quick and penetrating. shining
strangely through a tangle of unkempt
hair. The object was unmistakably
and uncompromisingly human. Mr.
King attests .and yet no human be
ing such as any nation, tribe or coun
try knows.
Fled Into the Wilderness.
After a long moment's scrutiny of
the disturber of his solitude, the wild
being decided upon flight, and nimbly
ran up the hillside, assisting his
momevents with his long arms, and
uttering at Intervals cries of very hu
man alarm, mystification and fear.
Once it paused on the hillside and
stood again gazing at the astounded
white man. then plunged into the wild
erness and was lost to sight, although
the crackling of branches for some
time afterward betrayer! its hurried
progress through the woods.
Coming to the place where it had
stood when first seen. Mr. King found
that the wild creature had been en
gaged at a little water hole in wash
ing edible grass roots, a pile of the
cleaned roots, neatly made, resting at
one side of the hole. Xo further meet
ing with the wild man fell to
the cruiser's lot. although he heard at
interals his curious cries, as he sat at
night by a roaring fire and waited for
and sequel to the adventure—his rifle
across his knees.
Offspring of Ape and Indian.
There is no conclusive and satisfac
tory explanation of the phenomenon.
Mr. King has brought the matter up
time and again in his talks with the
Indians, whose confidence he enjoys.
Hit by hit he has patched together
their theory and tribal tradition, by
which it appears that they credit the
coming of the original wild man to
the days of the Spanish occupation of
certain of the west coast ports. At
one of these. Nootka, it is alleged,
an immense hairy creature, either
baboon or ape. escaped from one of
the ships, and after terrorizing the
aboriginal inhabitants, proceeded to
make itself at home in the forest.
Thence it is alleged to have issued

keeping. The wild man seen by Mr.
King is believed by the Indians to
have been the offspring.
A Sober Man, Too.
As to whether this could be possi
ble, the scientific authorities appear
to differ. Mr. King does not often
tell the story of his adventure, since
the majority are apt to ventilate sar
castic observations that grow tiresome
He is in earnest, however, and any
timberman on the North Pacific coast
will attest his reliability. Nor is a
man who has spent three-quarters ol
his life in the primeval solitudes,

j MONTGOMERY. Ala.. July B.—A
large number of representative law
yers from all parts of the state filled
the hall of the house of representa
tives at 10 o'clock this morning at the
opening of the twenty-seventh annual
meeting of the Alabama State Bar as
sociation. After the customary wel
comes had been responded to the con
vention listened to the annual address
of the president. Hon. Edward de
Graffenried of Greensboro. Reports of
the several officers and standing com
mittees followed the presidential ad
dress. The annual address before the
association was delivered by Hon.
Fabius H. Busbee of North Carolina,
who took as his subject, "The South
ern Lawyer and the Negro."
An interesting paper on civil proced
ure was presented by C. P. Mclntyre
of Montgomery, and H. E. Gibson of
Prattville followed with a paper dis
cussing the delay of the law as an ex
cuse for lynching. Reports were re
ceived from the committees on judi
cial administration and remedial pro
cedure, and on legal education and ad
mission to the bar. The sessions to
morrow will be held at Jackson's Bake
and will be devoted to papers and dis
cussions on a wide range of subjects
of interest and importance to the legal
profession.
CHILD STOLEN BY JAPANESE

Seven-year-old Johanna Dilander

She was given to Mrs. Brady, wife

child was sent for and taken to the
home, arriving here yesterday after
noon. This morning Dilander appear
ecT'at the home and claimed the child.
How the little girl got from Ballard
to Edmonds appears to he a mystery.
It is presumed that persons took her
in a boat. The child has a defective
mind and for that reason apparently
was unable to tell how she reached
Edmonds.
When found she was barefooted and
hatless. The father has come to the
conclusion that the child wandered
away from her home toward the
waterfront with playmates and that
Japanese took her in a boat and went
to Edmonds with her. He does not
think any harm was intended. —Seattle

HANGS HERSELF ON CELL DOOR.
Insane Woman Attempts Suicide In
County Jail Cell.
SEATTLE, Wash.. July B.—Only
for the timely arrival of one of the
jailers an insane woman who refuses
to divulge her name but who is known
to live at 216 University street, would
have hanged herself in the insane cell
in the county jail last night. The
woman was arrested on Second ave
nue early last evening by Patrolman
Jacobs, who saw her tearing her
clothes from her back. She was taken
to the county jail and placed in th
cell reserved for the insane. A few
minutes after the jailer closed the cell
door she tore the bed sheet into a
small rope. She fastened one end of
it to the bars at the top of the cell
door and tied the other end around
her neck.
To reach the top of the door she
stood on a bar that runs across the
! inside of the cell door several Inches
'above the floor. When the jailer made
his rounds he found her hanging in
the air with her feet off the ground.
She was in a semi-conscious condi
tion.
To prevent her from injuring her
self any further she was put into a
strait-jacket, but the minute it was
fastened on her she was out of it
again. She is the first person that
ever was able to wriggle out of J%
strait-jacket in the county jail. Shy
pulled her hands as easily out of a pair
of handcuffs that were put on het
wrists.
'"You look hot," said Sinnick. "One
would think you had been running a
race." "Well," replied Falker, the re
porter. "I have been chasing around
today, for a fact." "For a fact? Whit
possible use could you have for a
fact?"
