WILLIAM II. VAUGHN OF Ilwaco, Wash
ington was supposed to be afflicted with
catarrh of the stomach, and after yainly
trying many remedies began the use OF Q
stomach tube 70 wash out the diseased
organ. One day recently while using the
tube, there was elected from the stomach
leech or snail about an inch and a half
long, and the body back of the head
about the thickness of lead pencil.
Two horns protruded from the head. II
was placed in a bottle of alcohol and sent
to DIR. Carter of Fort Candy, Mr..
Vaughn's physician. The only manner
to account for the presence of the thing
may be the fact that about three years
ago Mr.. Vaughn was engaged logging ON
the lake near town, and often drank
water from the brooks running into the
lake.
IT Is a curious fact that not one miner
out of every hundred who has had any
experience will do anything but put the
sticks of giant powder into his bootlegs.
He knows Just sbout Low much giant
powder he will need during the shift,
and these he receives before I've enters
the shafthouse to go down. Then he
carefully places il in the leg Of LIS boot,
and in this manner conveys 1t inc the
mine. The miners have stopped "crimp-
ing" the Illuminating caps with their
teeth of late years. This is due, prob
ably, to the suicide at Chicago of Lingg,
one of the Anarchists who was sentenced
to be hanged with Spies and the rest.
Lingg exploded one of the caps by biting
it and blew most of his head off. Now
the majority of the miners crimp the CAP
on the heel of their boot with knife.
MARY CARNEs was drowned the other
bay at Adairsville, Ga. She fell into the
creek while fishing. She had told hel
parents some days before that she would
not live long, and that the world was all
going wrong. Since then peculiar &C.
cident happened. Bird Marlborough, an
artist, was requested to make picture
of the child. He made a negative, and
after preparing it for printing placed il
in the bath and poured the solution on,
when with suddenness the glass broke
in many pieces. The work was the same
as he had done many times, and never
before did n negative shatter.
