THE REBMAN CLAIM

At the meeting Of the city council this
morning the claim of Contractor John
Rebman for something over $4,000 for
extra" for the foundation of the new
city Jail will come up for final action.
Rebman appeared before the council
several days ago and stated his position.
Engineer Wood, the inspector on the
work, and the superintendent Of build
ings also testified that, while the amount
was a large one, they thought 1t was
just claim, in which belief the council
concurred. In order, however. to give
everyone a chance to be heard, final
action was deferred. 1t is claimed that
Mr.. Joseph Mesmer and other old-times
say that they are familiar with the char

foundations were not necessary. These

Remarkable Manifestations In a 13-Yesr-

Remarkable Manifestations In a 13-Year-
Old Georgia Hoy.
From the Newman Herald and Adver-
tiser.
The good people residing in the vicin-
ity OF Roscoe are much excited over the
remarkable manifestation of a strange
power of a 1S-year-old boy named Will
liam Thomas. who lives with his grand
mother about three miles east OF Ros-
coe, on the road leading to Palmetto.
On Wednesday night of last week the
little fellow sought his couch at the
usual hour for retiring, but just as he
was dropping off to sleep he was arous-
ed by a violent shaking of the bed.
Thoroughly startled by the strange sem
sation, he sat up and endeavored TO as
certain the cause of the commotion.
That the disturbance was not due to
human agency was apparent and, call
ing the other members of the family,
he excitedly told what had occurred.
They were incredulous at first, and in
duced him to return to his bed. In a
short time the singular manifestations
were repeated and with more violence
than before. The household was in a
state of panic and alarm. 1t became
evident that some unforeseen force was
at work, the uncanny demonstrations
ceasing only when the little fellow
would get up and leave the bed.
Inc next night the DedSteau rOlleu
and pitched from one side of the room
to the other, the combined effort of
three or four stout men being unable
to hold IL in place. on Friday night the
casters were taken off and several
chairs propped against IL TO make IL
steady, but the moment the boy had
stretched himself out on the mattress
the bedstead commenced quaking and
swaying. and finally overturned the
chairs and swept out into the middle
of the room.
Each night for more than a week this
strange performance has been repeated,
and the mystery is yet unsolved. DR.
Hood OF Roscoe has been called In and
is making a careful study OF the case
He has visited the boy twice. Upon
each examination he found traces Of
fever and evidences OF nervous ex-
haustion. Whether these conditions
are due TO the experiences through
which the little fellow has passed, or
whether they have some intimate con-
nection with the remarkable manifest
atoms described above, he is unable to
determine. In the meantime the excite
ment has not abated In the least. the
strange phenomenon forming the chief
topic of conversation in the neighbor-
hood. The boy seems rather annoyed
than pleased at the curiosity he had
aroused and evinces little inclination TO
talk concerning his peculiar power.

DUTCH JAKE is A DOCTOR NOW
Hynotized Dying Man and saaed His
Life.

Spokane Spokesman-Review: Jacob
Goetz of Spokane, known throughout the
Northwest as Dutch Jake" who is now
up north in Cedar canyon, recently dis
tinguished himself by accomplishing a
miraculous cure. He had been down 10
Fort Spokane and was making his way
up the Columbia river intending to go
over on the Colville reservation. At
Fruitland he stopped to grease his wagon
when a man rushed up to him in a state
of great excitement and inquired:
rs your name 'Dutch Jake?'"
That's vat de poys calls me-" he re-
piled, with elaboration.
Barney O'Donnell is over in that
house." the excited man continued. land
he's dying. He wants you right away"
Vat for he want me? I'm no toctor,"
the pioneer replied.
We'll, he wants you. and you must go
in and see him. I'll grease your wagon
in the meantime"
He went in and found his old friend
Barney O'Donnell in terrible agony.
Something that he had eaten had disa-
greed with him and he was in a deplor-
able state.
Jake" he said between groans and
yells, I'm be a dead man in 30 minutes
unless you can do something for me-
Can't you think of something that will
stop this?"
can you look me straight in tie eyes
for tree minute. Parney?" he inquired.
Yes" Barney replied.
Den / tink i can cure you," he said
Jake took out his watch and the two
men gazed steadily into each others
eyes, Jake talking constantly and admon-
ishing his patient not to blink or move
a muscle. With quick movement of one
hand he fished from one pocket a rabbits
foot while with the other he pulled up
the sick mans shirt and began vigorously
rubbing over the part affected with the
claws of the rabbits foot This he con-
tinued until the skin came off in large
flakes and the blood was drawn in some
places, but he never ceased to tell the
sick man over and over not to pat his
eyes" for three minutes
THE tree minutes is up" he said at
last. How do you feel, Parney?"
Barney drew a long breath and replied:
The pains all gone. begorra."
The rabbits foot was presented TO Mr.
Goetz about two years ago by a lady, and
he dates the return of his prosperity to
the hour that he received IT, He will not
start on journey or undertake any en-
terprise without IL. Once he started for
the Boundary and Trail creek countries
and got as far as Northport before he re-
membered that in changing his business
suit for prospecting clothes he had neg
lected to transfer the rabbits foot. Not
another step would he bulge but came all
the way back home to get IL. Nobody can
make him believe that there is no virtue
in this mascot.
