MABELIS HYPNOTIZED
eTRANGE OCCURRENCES IN THE
EAU CLAIRE CASE.
nr. Pickin's Alleged Victim Says
That She II AEain Under His Con-
trol-Another Girl Found to be In
the Same Condition.

Eau Claire, Wis, Dec. Il - The
facts about the strange occurrences
TN, past orty-eight hours In connec-
ton with the Briggs-Pickin case are
inst coming out Mabel Briggs re
lapsed into what would ordinarily he
called a state Of nervous prostitution
Saturday night and declared she was
under DR.. Pickiu's control again and
that Alma Leonard would be found in
the same condition.
In his eRaeavors to rouse Mabel
from her lethargy Mr.. Briggs, her
father, fred two shots from revol-
yer. A crowd gathered around the
Briggs residence. Two doctors were
called. and Mabel was finally taken In
carriage to the Leonard residence,
where Almo Leonard was found to be
in the same condition as Mabel. After
Alma had been revived to some extent
she operated by mesmeric methods on
Mabel, who was brought to something
like her normal condition again. Both
girls however, all day Sunday from
time to time suffered what seemed
to be complete nervous collapse, but
which they declared was the hypnotic
control of DR.. Pickin. To-day they
were somewhat better. During pnri-
ods Of comparative mental equipoise
Mabel Briggs. with one hand on her
forehead and pad of paper on her
knee. rapidly wrote answers to all
questions asked her. and in this way
described events which were occurring
elsewhere in the city of which she
could not possibly have had knowl-
edge by ordinary means This Is tesi-
fled to by some Of the best citizens of
the town. The girl wrote from right
| to left, reversing the letters SO that the
| writing could only easily be read by
reflection in mirror. She notified the
people present OF the Whereabouts and
identity Of persons who were aD-
preaching the house and made no mis-
! takes
These things are creating state of
! amaZemcnt which it is hard to eXag
gerate. About fifty leading citizens
are closely interested in the phenNn-
ena and have witnessed them. One
OF the eases against Pickin will prob
ably be called in circuit court to-mor-
/ row.

THE ORIENTAL WAR.

The news from the seat of war
in Korea by the Mariposa is desul-
tory and to a certain extent con-
flicting. At present it is impossi-
bic to say whether the Chinese or
japanese have gained any real
advantage. Several battles are
reported to have been fought,
which, while victories are claimed
upon both sides, evidently show
the Japanese troops have the pres
ent advantage over the Chinese
soldiers thus far landed in Korea.
The fact, however, that China is
sending large numbers of men to
the scene of action may change the
present phase of the situation with
the next incoming dispatches.
There is no authentic news of any
naval battle having been fought
since the sinking of the transport
Kowshung, which Japan is willing
to pay indemnity for, if il
is shown her officers were
in error. Further than this the
dispatches simply state that thir,
teen Chinese ships have returned tc
Cheefoo, and that the japanese
have the same number of vessels ii
Korean waters. No decisive blow
has yet been struck, and the mar
shaling of forces up to date may be
considered preparatory to a tina
test of strength in which China is
in point of numbers, likely to come
off first best, if foreign powers dc
not interfere.

THE SAMOAN TROUBLES.
BEFORE AND AFTER THE bonn
BARDMENT.
The German and English War ships in
Port Throw shells Into the Insur-
gents Stronghold.

The following is taken from the
Samoan Herald of August 18th, and
proof sheets to be issued after the sail
ing of the Mariposa:
Just before we went to press Aug.
II, news reached here from Falealili
that party of the rebels had reached
that district and were destroying houses
and looting it throughout. The Fale-
alili supporters of the Government at
once LETT Apia for the scene of action,
and three of them returned at noon on
the following day, bringing the infor-
nation that fight had taken place, in
which six of the rebels had been killed.
From information to hand it would
appear that when the Government sup
porters reached Matautu (Falealili) they
observed large canoe, the occupants
(rebels) of which were engaged on shore.
Upon seeing their enemies approach the
rebels rushed for their boats. Before
getting away four of them We're killed
and some wounded. Those killed were
denuded of one ear each. The victorious
party proceeded along the coast, and
near Mr.. Wulf's residence fell in with
another small party, two of whom they
killed and served in like manner. The
Government then sent to Apia for REIN
forcements and more ammunition.
A large number of Government sup
porters were summoned from Falea
lii and Aana, and ordered to mobilize
at Laulii. Last night the rebels were
ordered to disperse from Lutuanuu.
This morning at 0 o'clock the rebel
forts at Lutuanuu and Solosolo will be-
shelled and destroyed, the whole of the
warships taking part. The Government
troops are expected to then occupy the
Atua coast for some distance. This
proceeding Will doubtless have good
effect especially the fact of the German
warships taking part. For long past
they have been regarded somewhat SUE
piciously by the loyalist natives, but to
days proceedings should drive away all
such feelings.
1t cannot be said that the week Just
ended has been barren, so far as the
Samoan troubles are concerned. Last
week the residents OF Apia were filed
with expectancy, owing to the many and
varied rumors which had been in cir
culation for some days previous. Fort
unately we were enabled to state with
accuracy the contemplated movements
OF the warships. Just after publication
the news reached Apia that the Sayaii
people, who are ostensibly supporting
the Government had patched up their
quarrel with the Aana rebels and were
about to return to their Savaiian homes. |
Since then it is asserted that some of
them have done so, but the great ma
