"GoD BLESS THE cow


Here is an instance of superstition in
England as late as 1868. 1t is in a suit
brought against Susan Haynes, for pos
sessing supernatural powers:
Anna Sayce deposes "that she knowes
| the articulate Susan Haynes, now the
wife of William Waters. and saith that
she is a woman of very little credit
or reputation amongst her neighbours.
and doth soc much abuse her neighbours,
and disturbe their quiet, that they Will
scarce suffer her to come near them,
that she is a great swearer, and is ac-
COMPETED a hard-hearted wicked woman;
and this deponent hath heard one Mar
gerry Hodges say that she, having a Cow
very sick. did send for the aforesaid SUI
san Haynes, and forced her to say God
bless the CowP and hereupon the said
Cow recovered, and was we'll within some
few howerS after.
''And in case any person or beast do
fall sick on a suddaine, who is known to
the said SuSanS mother, 1t is usual to
send for her, and to force her to say.
God bless such person or beast; and the
whole nefghbourhood doe generally be-
leeve the said Susan, and her mother and
able, by their curseing, swearing and
other ii practices, to doe persons hurt,
and especially one Henry Wettons OF
Dflwyn aforesaid, being sick IN his bedd,
was persuaded that he could not recover,
nor depart out of this life and be eaSed
of his paine. until the aforesayed Susan
and her mother and sister were sent for
to blesse him and pray for him.
''Whereup0n, one Richard Philips. Al
punishable, was sent for them-as this
deponent hath been told-and brought
them unto the aforesaid Henry, and
made them desire that God would either
restore him to his health, or release him
out of his pain and sickness by deaths
and the next day following, the said
Henry dyed. "

REPEATING HER PERFORMANCE
Jennie Wilson Also Attempts Suicide
at Butte.

Jennie Wilson, the woman upon
whom so much sympathy was recently
wasted. is up to her old tricks, and
this time is endeavoring to work upon
the kindness of the people of Butte
OF her latest performance the Butte In
iter-Mountain says:
A woman. who is evidently of Swed-
ish or Norwegian birth, was found this
morning on lower Main street acting in
peculiar manner and an officer, be-
lieving her to be demented, took her to
the city jail. Shortly afterward the
woman apparently recovered and the
physician who was called said that she
would be all right in a few hours She
was released and an officer escorted her
to the house of G. Lewis, on South
Main street. where she said she had
been stopping for some days.
| When near the place the woman was
seized with another fit and it required
the combined strength of two officers
! to hold her. The officers decided to
take her to the county Jail, and when
she got as far as Park street she at
tempted to throw herself under the
wheels of a street car, but was pre-
VENTED from doing so by the officers
! to whom she said she was tired OF
life.
Behind this sad story there is be-
IlleVed to be still another. The woman
came here from Colorado about two
weeks ago. and until last evening she
acted in a perfectly rational manner
being very cheerful and lively. Last
evening Mrs. Lewis, with whom she
was temporarily stopping, says that a
| heavily-built, well-dressed man called
I for her and the couple went out for a
walk.
Mrs. Lewis did not see her after that
/ last evening, and she is of the opinion
that the woman was taken to some OF
the dens of the city and drugged. Her
appearance would seem to indicate this
and the officers are now making an in.
lvestigation of the affair. The woman
| in reply to questions, merely mentions
the name Wilson, but whether that is
her name or some other person to
whom she refers, is not known.
The woman had recovered sufficiently
this afternoon to converse intelhgently
and importuned the jailer to release
her. She says her name is Mrs Jennie
Wilson and that she is the wife of a
railroad man. She would make nc
statement, however. of her actions, and
lit is likely that she will be released
! this evening.

The Anchor.

Some time ago it was rumored that
Mr.. David Keith would retire from the
management of the Anchor mine, but
it proves to have been entirely without
foundation. Francis Smith, Esq, of
Muskegan, Mich, who represents the
eastern stockholders who hold a large
majority OF the stock, recently stated
in positive terms to a local stockholder
that no change of the kind indicated
had been considered, and on the con-
trary. it was the desire to retain the
valuable services of Mr.. Keith as long
as he would remain. Mr.. Reiths work
is greatly appreciated by the company.
