IN’S LIFE SAVED
BY DRIPPING ITER
John Robertson, an Escaped In
sane Patient, Has a Hair-
Raising Experience.
TORTURED FORTY DAYS
Hourly Dripping of Rusty Pipe Pre
vents Death of Chicagoan Who
Flees Kankakee Guards —He Lost
Seventy-five Pounds During Time.
Kankakee, 111.- —Drip—drip—drip!
A drop of water every hour for 40
days, the biblical limit of fasting, fell
into the eager jnouth of John Robert
son, who was sent from Chicago to the
Kankakee State Hospital for the In
sane. For 40 days that drop an hour
was all he had to sustain him. His
story was told as he lay in the hospital
and watched with gaunt eyes his
nurses as they endeavored to coax life
into his emaciated body. In the 40
days Robertson had fallen in weight
from 146 pounds to 76.
In a mad endeavor to escape from
the asylum Robertson slipped from a
squad of men marching back from
work in the fields. He had never been
'a violent" patient. But the idea of
freedom had worn on him. Unnoticed
by the guards he slipped through the
asylum grounds and dashed for lib
erty.
He forced his way into the window
of the first building that he ran across.
It was an abandoned building, desert
ed because of the insanitary condition.
Into the dark cellar of this structure
Robertson slipped. He had no food
and no drink. Hour after hour he
watched by the window for a chance
to escape. But the guards were alert.
Everywhere he saw them searching
with their rifles.
He watched and waited. In the deep
silence one day, when his tongue was
swollen from lack of water, he heard:
"Drip—drip—drip.”
From a rusty water pipe, green with
the crust of slime, a drop of w r ater was
falling. Once every hour, with the reg
ularity of a clock it dripped into the
fungus-smelling earth.
With a glad cry Robertson, weak
from hunger and thirst, cast himself
■upon the leak. He was too ill to stand.
He sank limply to the ground and
fainted. He was aroused W’hen a drop
of water struck him in the face. It
was cold. He twisted about until he
had approximated' the fall of the wa
ter. He tried to rise, but sank back
again helplessly.
The next drop of water struck his
cheek. By this time he had reckoned
■where the leak would send Its saving
drop. He screwed his body into that
Mind and Body Centered on the Leak
In Pipe.
position. With his mouth open and his
dry and coated tongue forced between
his lips he waited.
An hour passed. The drop came. It
had a "brassy" taste. But it was wa
ter.
Once the drip of the water was
gauged, Robertson rested. In the dark
ness of the foul basement—where the
only possible means of escape was a
small window—Robertson almost
smiled. All thought of escape was
gone now. Robertson had passed the
stage of thinking all except one
(bought—water. Hour after hour he
waited. Once every hour that drop
of salvation slipped down the cor
roded pipe and fell into his mouth.
Then one day some workmen, look
ing through the old building to see
from what point they might begin to
fear it down, slid through the base
ment window. With difficulty they en
tered the place. The first of them had
an electric pocket lamp. He flashed
It.
"Old clothes,” he remarked to his
companion. “I didn’t think they let
that kind of stuff lay around.”
His light had fallen on the spot un
der the leak in the pijpe.
"Must have .been here for a couple
of weeks, too," replied his fellow
worker. “Look at the mold on ’em.”
A bit later their work took them to
that side of the basement. Passing
(he spot under the leaking pipe the
first worker kicked at the rags.
“Giood God!” he exclaimed. “It’s a
man!”
Robertson opened his white eyelids.
"Let me go!" he shouted. “You can’t
•take me away from the water. It’s all
"<he water there is.”
His voice died away in a harsh
croak. Then he became unconscious.
Man Arrested for Gossiping.
Marinnette, Wis. —Peter Kesoski of
Niagara was arrested here charged
with gossiping. He is the first man to
tie prosecuted under the new “gossip
law.” The arrest followed the charge
that Kesoski called a woman an un
savory name in conversation with
friends in a bar room.
Very Considerate.
New Tork.—Before Peter Yonson,
an engineer, asphyxiated himself in a
rooming house, he left a dollar for the
landlady to pay for the gas.
DIGS HIS OWN GRAVE;
LIVES TO TELL OF IT
Mexican Army Officer Arrested
as Spy—Reprieve Granted
in Nick of Time.
El Paso, Tex.—A California born
Mexican, a major under General
Orozco and a follower of Madero, is
the only man who ever dug his own ■
grave, faced a firing squad in Mexico j
and lived to tell his experience.
He is Maj. C. H. Echagary, who i

months in Chihuahua City prison, as

dig his own grave while being beaten
on the back by a saber in the hands of
a Mexican captain.
After escaping from his predica
ment he walked to the nearest rail
road station and came to El Paso,
never to return.
The Mexican major was arrested
in Juarez on a trumped up charge of
sedition, was taken to Chihuahua and
imprisoned in the dark cells with
other condemned military prisoners
and had nothing to eat but a few
beans, thirty-six to be exact, for he
counted them, daily, and dry bread.
After being left alone in His cell,
without anyone to speak to and •’With
the vermin crawling over him, he was
taken from his cell at night by a de
tail of soldiers in command of a
federal first captain, marched to the
graveyard and there given pick and
shovel and made to dig his own grave.
While this was being done, the fed
eral captain beat him over the back
with the flat side of his saber, swear
ing at him in vile Spanish all the time.
Finally Major Echagaray says he
could stand it no longer and de
manded that he be shot rather than
hear his mother's name insulted. Just
as the firing squad was lining up in
front of him to fire the midnight bells
on the cathedral in Chihuahua rang
and were followed by a trumpet call
to cease firing. A reprieve had been
granted him and a detail of officers
had been sent in an automobile to
notify the federal commander, who
was about to execute him. Pie was
liberated the next days as it was
found that he was not a spy and he
slept in the hills until he could
board a train and reach the border.
RODENTS CUT OUT CIRCUIT
Rat and Mouse in Electric . Switch
Shut Off Circuit for Forty-
Five Minutes.
Memphis, Tenn. —A mouse and a rat
climbed into a switch of the Memphis
Consolidated Gas and Electric com
pany lines, created a short circuit and
shut off all power for 46 minutes the
other night.
More than 600 offices of a telegraph
company, between Nashville, Memphis
and Texarkana, Ark., and Cairo and
New Orleans, were out of commission.
Elevators in hotels and office build
ings were “dead” and the other sorts
of business were still while men were
inspecting sources of trouble and
switching power onto other supply ca
bles.
Twenty-five men worked from mid
night until four o'clock before the
cause of the trouble was found, and in
order to be certain of it, the men had
to inspect 11 miles of power cables,
lifting lids to manholes and testing
connections.
About four o’clock, one of the ex
perts found troubles that caused him
to climb the pole where the circuit box
was attached to an oil box. Taking off
the lid, he discovered the charred re
mains of a mouse and in a hole in the
oil box he found half the body of a
rat.
The new wires were connected and
in a minute every power cable went to
working as usual.
BRIDGE OF NANTES FALLS
Famous Pont Maudit Goes .Down
With a Great Splash When Arch
Gives Away.
Nantes. France.—The old stone
bridge of Nantes, known as the "Pont
Maudit” (fatal bridge), which spans
the Loire, and which has been under
mined by the water, fell into the
river with a great splash.
The authorities had anticipated
such an event and precautions had
been taken, although traffic was not
suspended until the day preceding.
The quays alongside the bridge also
are showing signs of weakening and
have been cleared.
The Pont Maudit was one of the
numerous bridges built across the
four branches of the Loire, flowing
through Nantes, and with the Pout
du la Bourse and the Pont Haudan
dine it connected the center of the
town with the industrial quarters of
the Prairie au Ik3 and the Island of
Santa Anna. The end of the bridge
came when the keystone of one of the
arches gave way.

Michigan Negro 115 Years Old
Unmindful of All Health Laws
and Edicts.
UNAFRAID OF GERMS
'
George Banks, a Bangor, Mich., Plo- j
neer, Has Worn the Same Suit of
Clothes for the Last 32 Yearß and
His Diet is Simple.
I
Bangor, Mich. —Health demonstra- [
tion trains run around the state, '
health officers lay down their laws, i
newspapers cry out —all with the doc- j
trine that cleanliness means longevity j
—and ancient George Banks goes
right along living, unmindful, in his j
dirty old log cabin. Germs and George
have affinities for each other, or else
germs hate George so badly that they
won’t go near him. George himself
neither knows nor cares. f
As near as hes "been figured out,
George is one hundred and fifteen
years old. That would fix his birth in
the year 1798. From a little picka
ninny down on a Kentucky plantation
he grew up into a strong young slave.
About 1827 he escaped, and he man
aged to stay escaped until the Civil
war came along and made him free
technically. George helped make him
self free, as a matter of fact, for he
fought all through the war on the
Union side, leaving his present abode
to join the army.
It was in 1846 that George came to
this region. He built himself a little
log house seven miles from Bangor
and there he reared a family. The
family has been buried for a good many
years, except for a granddaughter,
now fifty-two, who takes care of him
to a greater or less extent —for her
granddad doesn't welcome too minute
affectionate or efficient attention
these days. He’s satisfied to live in
defiance of all health mandates and
let things go at that.
On sunny days he sits on a little
stool in the doorway of his dingy log
cabin, while pigs and chickens uncon
cernedly stroll in and out of the
house. On rainy days he —with the
pigs and chickens —stays Inside. Not
in 14 years has he been more than 100
feet away from his house.
He doesn’t approve of change of
clothes any more than he does of the
changes in scenery. It is said here-
Alone With His Pigs and Chicks.
abouts that the old darkey had worn
the selfsame suit of clothing for the
last 32 years.
His system of dietetics is simple.
Soup and tobacco, tobacco and soup—
and there you have his menu. Four
teen hours a day George sleeps; five
hours more than President Wilson
and ten hours more than Napoleon or
Thomas Edison.
George used to tell great tales of
himself and of the events of long ago,
but during the last few years his
mind has gradually failed, and now
his tongue keeps up a babble as cease
less as it is meaningless. That hi 3
memory isn’t quite gone, however, is
attested by G. A. Smeeman of Grand
Rapids, now in his twenties, who re
cently visited here after an absence of
many years. When a lad of six Smee
man was given some fish by George,
who in those days was an active old
man.

ing voice, rehearsed the story of the

ened smile.
OUT 21 YEARS; IS CAUGHT
Georgia Convict Returned From Se
curity in Another State to Scene
of Crime.
Dublin. Ga. —The desire that seems
to possess all fugitives from justice i
to return to the scene of their ■
crimes has resulted in the capture
of an escaped convict in this county, j
who ran away from the gang twenty
one years ago and has been living in !
Florida. He returned to Laurens.
Ed. Anderson was arrested by Dep- ■
uty Sheriff B. W. Raffield, who was |
also the deputy who arrested him
when he was put in jail for the crime
of bigamy, for which he was given
a sentence in the chain gang. Ander
son was sent to the gang in 1898 from
Laurens, and as the lease system was
then in use in Georgia he was leased
to a big sawmill operator, who sent
him to a mill at Amoskeag, near East
man.
After serving five months he es
caped and for the last twenty years
has lived in Florida, where he has
married and where he left a family
to come back to Laurens.

SLUMS OF EDINBURG
Canyon-Like Streets in the
Poorer Quarters.
City Is Not Without Beauty—Princess
Street Said to Be Most Impres
sive of Any Thoroughfare
in Europe.
Edinburgh.—Edinburgh has slums
that look and smell the thing they are.
There is something not only forbid
ding, but almost threatening in the
canyon-like streets of the poorer quar
ter, with their huge grim tenements
built of uncompromising stone and
rising high above the sunless streets.
One meets on the Old North bridge,
which spans the gulf between two
high portions of the town, pale-faced
women hooded in their shawls, and
bearing in their faces the marks of
poverty, hard usage and vice. One
sees also on that historic,bridge, how*
ever, man! - a lovely girlish face, many
a daughter of the people such as in
spired some of . Burns’ finest love
songs. The land is manifestly full of
native vigor, and the eommonfolk
show the descipline of the struggle
that they and their ancestors have
long waged with a thin soil, a dif
ficult topography and a climate some
what niggardly of sunlight and
warmth.
Edinburgh still deserves its ancient
name of Auld Reekie, and between its
boldly magnificent topography, its
seif-generated smoke, its stormy
skies, and its frowning and monumen
tal architecture, it has a sort of
grandeur hard to match in other and
gayer cities. Holyrood is surely a
plain enough royal residence, but
where in any other town is there so
nobly and almost insolently dominant
a pile as Edinburgh castle. It gives
the final touch of something like
domesticity to that aloof and high
set mass of gloomy architecture to
see at night the gleam of lights
through a few of its long, slitted win
dows. Nothing can be finer than the
sudden holes of after-sunset bright
ness that appear in the stormy skies
of Edinburgh on summer evenings.
These aspects of the sky suggest

nothing less majestic than a Miltonic
war of the heavenly hosts.
It has been said that Princes street
of Edinburgh is the most impressive
in Europe, and if any such assertion
is to be accepted it owes its truth not
so much to the highway itself and its
buildings and monuments as to the
amazing topography of Edinburgh,
some of whose noblest features lend a
sort of awful dignity and splendor to
Princes street. The marvelous view
of the castle and its slopes would
alone give Princes street the highest
distinction, and the castle and its
steep constitute only one of several
noble eminences within view. The
broad gardens, too, are rich and love
ly, and there are fine old historic
structures along the highway, while
the Scott Memorial really does not
look like a church engulfed by au
earthquake with its steeple still above
ground. As a matter of fact the
monument, with that amiable and
studious seated statue of Sir Walter
set within, is a dignified and beauti
ful thing, even though it has co vie
with the austere and awful steep
crowned with the vast and wandering
pile of Edinburgh castle.
HUBBIES MUST POUND ROCK
New Pennsylvania Law Is Put Into
Operation for the First
Time.
Philadelphia.—When six deserting
husbands were sentenced to tl)ree
months’ work breaking stone at the
house of correction by Judge Bregy
there was put into operation for the
first time in Pennsylvania a new law,
passed by the last legislature, which
the court declared would materially
reduce the cases of wife desertion in
this state.
The law empowers the court to com
mit recalcitrant husbands to the house
of correction, there to be placed at
some profitable empyoment at hard
labor, and provides that 65 cents a
day shall be deducted from their
earnings and paid to the wife. The
minimum sentence is three months,
hut this may be extended to six
months if the husband shows no will
ingness otherwise to support his wife.
Heretofore the only punishment
within the power of the court in this
state was a jail sentence, leaving the
man’s wife and family to be taken
care of, in many instances, by char
ity.
