Queer Fix in Which Printer Find.

Queer Fix in Which a Printer Finds
Himself.
CHICAGO, April 20.-Six months ago
Thomas Levy, printer, married pretty
Annie Ludwig. Annie worked in milli-
merry store down town. Three days after
the wedding, Levy says, he was given a
love powder by Mary Goodman, a woman
old enough to be his grandmother. The
Goodman woman makes living BY telling
fortunes, selling Hindoo love charms anu
renting furnished rooms.
According to her own statement she il
40 years old. No one denies it. Levy as
serts that she has thrown a spell or cnurm
over him which he cannot resist. She has
him completely in her power. He loves his
wife devotedly, but when he sees Mrs,
Goodman, Or even thinks of her, the mag
net seems to draw him to her.
The only way he can account for this is
that she gave him one Of her Egyptian love
powders III glass of water. His wife also
believes tnat he is under spell.
:, Levy works on morning paper, and at
three O'Clock Tuesday morning when he
had finished Throwing in," he started for
home. He had traversed half the distance
when the image of Mrs. Goodman flashed
before his vision. He struggled to over
come the mysterious power tnat was draw
ing him toward the north side, but to no
purpose. No will power in the world, he
says, could have resisted.
When ne reached Mrs: Goodman's apart
ments he found her reading oracles from
greasy pack of cards. 1t was then tfour
o'clock. Looking up from her work, the
woman exclaimed: Il knew you'd come; the
cards ran good Tonight" The only thing
Levy remembers after tnat was that he and
Mrs. Goodman had some wine to drink.
When he came to himself yesterday he was
i'll a police station cell.
He has no recollection of what took place
at the house of Mrs. Goodman. She
charges him with having set tire to the
place. He poured kerosene oil over the
Kitchen floor aud touched match to 1t,
Levy does not deny his guilt, but he saws
that if such thing did occur he must have
been in a hypnotic state. He says that
Mrs. Goodman could make him kill himself
if she 80 decreed. When in her presence he
is not himself and is unaccountable for his
acts.

rlIs RAILROAD BILL DIS.
CUSSED.
Vow You SEQ I,.-.No~ You Don't.

A letter from Senator Sproule on
the subject OF the Elko Railroad bill
published in this mornings Free
Press says:
1T came up in the Senate this
afternoon and pissed without the vote
u Sproule."
Well; did Mr.. Sproulo vote uGuinst
the Elko RAILROAD bill? When re
ported by tho Senate Committee.
tho E!ko delegation in the S,iats,
did Mr.. Sproule report adversely to the
bill? Pending It's passage in tho
Senate did Mr.. Sproule utter n word
in condemnation Of the bill! Did he
consult the taxpayers "f Elko county,
or my OF the.n, TO ascertain their
views ON tho proposition? but why
did he permit the bill u piss with
Il the vots Of SprSuie," wasa he is
in favor OF the measured, as is clearly
expressed ia this MORNINGS Free
Press, from which We quote rs fol-
lows:
ave think there is n mistaken idea
by most people Of the provision Of this
bill. Whtio it reads that the county
shall issue binds nj the rate OF 5000
per mile, the county is not RESPONSE
BILE for those bonds, us they are TO be
paid ONLY out Of tho fund created
from the taxes collected from said
railroad. The road will be taxed 'or
State and school purposes, while The
other taxes collected from it will 70
nto the fund to pay the bonds and
interest. Tho simple proposition is,
that the road is exempted from tax
alton for % years. Every county in
the State has n railroad bill like this.
They arc beginning TO SEQ that their
only salvation is to have railroud lines
in every direction and think it best 10
encourage in n small way, their build
ing. II the
road Is built it may hurt the town Of
Elko some, but it will increase tho
taxable property Of the entire county,
and open up a large mineral COIN
try in the northern part OF Elko."
Ii the easur is to DO u gTea:
benefit TO Elko county by INCREASING
tho taxable property Of tho entire
county and opening up n large nm
eral country in tho northern part OF
Elko," what object could or senior
Senator have i'll permitting tho bill
to pass "without the vote OF Sprualo"?
II Mr.. Sproule thinks the measure n
good ono for Elko county, rs he evil
IDENTIFY does, he should have cast his
vote for the bill; and il he does not,
no should have mado nm adverse ro-
port rs II member Of the Senate Com
mittee, and raised his voice against its
passnge when it was presented TO the
Senate for II final vote. AS the mat
ter now stunds, while expressing n
favorable opinion Of the measure Mr..
Sproulo permitted the bill to pass
without his vote; and the people Of
Elko county are left to conjecture
whnt could have been his object in
pursuing tho course which he did in
reference To the E.ko Railroad Bill.

AN oLp-TIME INDIAN TERROR.

An Aged Indian Warrior Who for Ten
Year. TerrorlIed tho SottIers OF Arizona.
They were talking about the Indian
outbreak, says the New York; Her
aid, when one OF the party who had
been for many years n resident Of Ari-
IONA Territory, remarked:
why, down in Arizona we lived for
fifteen years in n state of terror on &C.
count Of n marauding band of Apaches
that had things pretty much their own
way all this time, in spite Of all that
the Government troops could do TO keep
them in check.
IL call to mind particularly Old Vic
torio. There was n warrior for YOU.
lie commanded u band Of some two
hundred bucks. They we're the Chira-
cahua APachcs, and the murders, rob-
berries and dcpredations committed by
that band during those ten years in
which they were on the warpath are al
most incredible.
"Old Victorio was nearly ninety years
OF age when the troubles began. lie
ruled those redskins with a rod OF iron
in spite of his years. And he was para
lyzed, too, completely p~aralyzed. lie
was only able to use his left arm n lit
tic, just enough TO lift u cigarette to his
mouth.
"llc was constantly In the saddle,
and had to be strapped on like n bale of
goods. His band had the finest ponies
to be found anywhere. They would
sometimes appear at one place and in
less than t~wcnty-four hours YOU would
hear OF them ut some place one hun.
dred miles distant. All throughout
Southern Arizona and Northern Mexico
Old Victorio continued his raids until
the settlers finally gave up in DESPAIR.
The Government troops appeared 10 be
utterly powcrlcss in the matter.
"Why, that band Of redskins would
sometimes plander u wagon train right
undcr the noses OF the troopers, and by
the time the latter were mounted md
ready to start in pursuit, they would be
out OF sight. Tho next day, PERTAINS.
the wires would tell OF some fresh
depreciation committed by the same
band in n section of the country over
ono hundred miles away.
This old war dog, however, was
finally rounded up and shot. lie died
In the saddle, fighting to the last, and
his band, what WAS left Of IL, dispersed.
or course the settlers heard of IL and
were delighted. Dismay followed,
however, when Conchise took the field.
This Indian ran things pretty much the
same way for five years, and then cam.
