Loaded with blank Car
trtdges,

The Joke was neatly turned on .
practical joker the other day while q
party OF St. Louis people were on their
way to Schmidt's Mound park, near Col
linsville, ILL.,, to attend picnic. The
principals In the Joke were f. G. Strauss,
western representative OF the Came
ron & Cameron Tobacco company, and
C. NJ. Iasley, Of the American Tobacco
company. The two men, while repro
senting different interests, are the best
Of friends. Mr.. Lasley thought itwould
he a good thing to see Strauss sprint
down the cool country road bit, and he
entered into a conspiracy with Boiler
Inspector Price, Superintendent Kroell,
OF the Klnloch Telephone company, and
james w. Burke, the saloon man at
Eleventh and Pine streets. The plan
was TO get Strauss, who had been sick
for some time, to accompany them to
picnic given ut Schmidt's park. On the
way Lasley was TO pick quarrel with
Strauss and was to begin shooting NJ
him in order to see him run bit
Everything worked beautifully at the
start Strauss was convinced thnt the
trip would do him good, and consented
TO go. Burke fixed up little bottle
containing a harmless decoction of
phosferone and soda and early In the
morning Lasley had gotten roaring
drunk" on the contents Of the bottle.
Then no began picking tho quarrel with
Strauss. The two were out Of the
party's wagon at the time, and sudden
ly Lasley drew gun. which was loaded
with blank shells
"Get out of herel Get back to town,
and be quick about III he yelled, at the
same time turning loose his Cannon"
Strauss backed away as the shooting
began, but he didn't run little bit
Instead of this he drew a revolver q
few sizes larger than that possessed by
IAsley and returned the fire. Lasley
turned as white as o sheet and his re-
volver dropped by his side, He knew
that Strauss never carried a revolver ex-
cept ON extraordinary occasions and
was at loss to account for the sudden
reply to his saluation. He supposed |
that Strauss gun was loaded for bear
and conducted himself accordingly.
Strauss fired three shots, and after he
hNd chased Lasley behind the wagon he
began laughing. Then he Informed the
crowd that he had been told Of the
Joke by friend and he resolved to turn
TIE tables. He did 1t In such good
shape that Lasley didn't recover his
nerve for two hours, and the whole
party has foresworn practical jokes.

into operation on January /, 20 prison

Tertiary have lost their reason
Madness began TO assert itself with
out anything TO attract public atten-
tion, It attacked the victims one at a
time until last week. when nine con
ylcts, under the dull torture Of en-
forced idleness. went mad.
Five of these unfortunate men were
removed from the penitentiary to the
state asylum at Mat+eawan. The re-
naming four will be disposed OF later.
Three are federal prisoners and their
destination Is the asylum OF Washing
ton.
Madness In one case Is laid OF the
door OF mental torture, long sustained.
In all the other cases enforced id,eness
20 hours OF each day passed behind
iron bars in trap-like cells-seems TO
give the explanation.
The Increase of Mnacy as shown by
figures among the male convlcts is
alarming. The records of 1890 show one
cnse of iunacy; in 1891, three; in 1899,
one; and for the three following years
total OF four. Then prison work fen

Interesting Phase Of tho New Gold
Discoveries In Alaska.
w. j. ArkcI, of New York CITY, Claims
Ownership by Right of DiscOv-
cry of IL. j. GlRve in
1910.

w. j. Arkell, of the Arlcell Weekly
company, of New York city, has an
nounced that he expected to claim the
gold fields In the Klondyke district by
right of discovery for the estate Of L.
j. Glave. This is the latest and most
interesting phase OF the excitement
prevailing in New York city over the
recent discovery In the far north.
Glave was the explorer who headed the
expedition to Alaska In 1s00-91, organ
lied by w. J. Arkell, of Leslie's Week
ly. The party consisted of Glave, B,
II. Wells, Of Gncinnatii A. B, Shanz, Of
Indiana Mineral Springs, Ind, and P.
Il. Pierce, and John Dalton, of San
Francisco, Thirty Chilkat Indians
were also with the party,
After the return Of Glave and his
party from the frozen north, the ex-
plorer was sent by the Century COM
pany to Africa to study the slave trade.
He lived among the natives for some
time and on accomplishing his work
returned to the coast. When about to
sail for the United States he contracted
a fever which resulted in his death,
Before leaving for Africa Glave told
Mr.. Arkell that he had staked out
claims in the Klondyke district and
that on his return he intended to go
again to Alaska and spend the remain
der of his life there, for he believed 1t
to be the richest country in mineral
deposits on the face of the globe.
Mr.. Arkell said that as he started
this sustained expedition no believes
he has claim by right of discovery to
the Klondyl0e territory, and If he suo-
ceeds IN establishing his claim 1t will
be on the theory that where maps are
filed with the government by the dis
coverers Of undiscovered" countries, as
was done IN this case, # gives the ex-
plorer certain interests that might de-
velop. Mr.. Arkell said that be had re-
ceived kilograms from Schanz and
Wells, two members of the first expedi-
ton to Alaska, claiming their interests
In the event the government should
recognize their right by discovery.
Mr.. Arlsell proposes to organize an ex-
petition at once to the territory discov-
cred and explored by Glave and party.
This expedition will be headed by Mr..
Arkell's brother, Bartlett Arkell, who
will be accompanied by his brother
in-law, Harry P. Hall, of Pittsburgh,
and a number of newspaper men.

A peculiar instance of a fisherman
eating dinner with dead man came to

quest over the body OF o. Carlson, Ot

AT noon Carlson, who had been feel
ing III for several days, sat down to the
table to eat dinner. He must have died
soon after, for he was leaning his head
on his hands when his partner, Olson.
came in.
Olson took no particular notice of
Carlson, except to speak 10 him. and
proceeded TO cook dinner. This he
placed on the table and seated himself
opposite the corpse. asking it to Join
him. He did not think 1t strange that
Carlson did Oot eat, because he had
been aillng fof two or three days, so
Olson ate his dinner in silence. When
he had nearly finished, Car,son's
brothcr-in-law came in and discovered
by the staring eyes that Carlson was
dead.
