QUELLED WITH HOSE AND WATER.
Unruly Insane Criminals Subdued After an
Exciting Fight with the Attendants.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
AUBURN, N. Y, April 16.-A general up
rising of the inmates of one of the wards
in the State asylum for insane criminals in

efforts have been made by the
asylum officers to keep the mat

only this afternoon that the facts became
known. Ward 6 in the asylum contains
ffty-seven patients. among whom are some
of the most desperate criminals in

How Intelli gence of an Accident to a Horse
Was Conveyed to the Master.
New York Herald
Probably the most convincing and re-
markaDle evidences that animals can talk
to each other was witnessed near here a
few days ago on a farm OF William Sey-
more. SeymOre has two dogs which are
accustomed to remain IN the barns and
have become firm friends with the horses.
To such an extent has this friendship pro-
crossed that when any of the horses or
either of the dogs AVE been away from
home for any time. immediately on their
return they rush together and rub noses
and give other evidedce OF delight at meet
ing.
The dogs and horses go to the pasture to-
gether and return home at evening in com.
pany. This remarkable and close friend
ship has been noted by many and much
commented upon, bnt the climax was
reached when one of the dogs came rush
ing from a small piece. of timber about half
q mile from the barn. He ran hurriedly ND
TO the other dog and whined and barked
in a queer manner and then ran to the
house.
The second dog at once jumped to his
feet and started OF on u run to the woods
as fast AS he could 60. The first dog hunted
around the place until he found Mr.. Sey-
more. aud then by barks aud strange an
tics attracted his attention and started
back toward the timber.
Mr.. Sevmore paid little attention to him
until he " as told what had occurred at the
barn, where the two dogs apparently held
conversation. and then he followed to the
woods. The dog went straight INTO the
woods, and there Mr.. cymor found that
one of his horses had fallen down in q small
water course which was so narrow and
sleep that it was impossible for the animal
40 rise.
The horse was lying perfectly still, while
the second dog was sitting by It's head lick
ing it's face and showing by it's attention
that it intended TO comfort the horse all
that was in it's power. The fact that the
horse was lying in An out of the way place,
with the additional fact that the second
dog did not hesitate. but went directly TO
where il had fallen. was plain evidence of
the fact that the first dog had told the
story and gwen directions for finding the
horse that was in trouble.
