FOUGHT WITH A WILD CAT.
The Beast Springs Into the Cab of a
Moving Locomotive.

The Beast Springs Into the Cab of q
Moving Locomotive.
Engineer Frelich of Ogden, Utah,
who runs on the Southern Pacific rail-
read, had an experience which he will
have cause to remember for many
day, When the westbOund passenger
train was nearing Blue Creek station,
at the northern point of Great Salt
Lake, one night last week, a vicious
wildcat sprang out of the darkness in
to the cab, and after a moments hesi-
tation attacked the fireman, at whose
side it landed. The engineer came to
the aid of his fireman and attempted
to beat the animal OF with shovel.
The brute then sprang upon him, land
ing on his chest, and burying its claws
in his face and shoulders. The beast
seemed possessed of a devil. and bit.
clawed and scratched with maniac fury
and when it finally sprang down and
out of the cab Frelich's face resembled
a map of the Grecian frontier. The
flesh on his hands and face was liter
ally torn to shreds. and when his train
stopped at Terrace he was more dead
than alive. The trainmen believe that
the wildcat was hiding in the bushes
by the track, and being blinded by
the glare of the headlight, made leap
for safety and landed II the cab.

he had had no recollection Of what
change he had in his pocket. That Ell
fa's dual entity. her psychic double.
can be detached from the physical
body. and can"be sent on missions to
the most remote and otherwise mac
cessible places cannot be doubted in
face of the evidences. Fer instance.
IN old miner who was prospecting in
the rougher mountain region of New
Mexico got hold Of q paper containing
q story about Ella, and she became
the day dream and solace of his lone
illness. He wrote to her, and that was
the beginning of a strange but endur-
ing friendship. He obeyed an ire
sistible impulse In writing that letter,
and in the touch Of the missive Ella
discovered the writer to be q 'sensi-
tive" One of her earlier experiences
in projection was a psyche fight to the
old miners cabin. A letter containing
q full description Of the interior Of his
LODGING and all contents was mailed
to him ON the same day the visit was
made. and In due course Of time . re-

that he had sought for two years, ana
which had been so nearly obliterated
by mountain storms as to escape his
scrutiny, but which he promptly found
and recognized under her direction.
During the past two years Elias
projected dual entity has been a recog-
nized visitor at the homes Of num-
Der OF people who are we'll known to
all students in this line. and there is
no lack of strong proof that she par
ticipates in the secret meetings OF
mystical orders, visits that are fully
attested by letters acknowledging that
no living being in the flesh could have
obtained the facts reported. On one
occasion she sent the description OF
temple. diagrams, inscriptions, posi-
ton of altar. furniture and people to
q secret order which proved revela-
ton to even the masters Of the organ
izatton, intimate as their knowledge Is
Of the higher manifestations OF true
psychic power.

Very soon rapt expression came over
her face. and also indicating that she
was listening to something unheard by
those present. All at once, wonderful

chords were heard, evidently the pre-
lude to a grand ceremonial chant.
When that was finished she asked for
writing materials, and reproduced the
composition, which subsequently
proved to be written in ancient Monk
ish Latin. and one Of the hymns used
In the rites of . famous brotherhood
by whom it is fully acknowledged.
But the work that Ella delights In
most is the examination Of living HUI
man bodies. She has made many such
examinations, and some at the request
Of physicians, who give expression to
their establishment at the profound
anatomical knowledge of this mere
child and the unerring precision with
which she discovers the slightest varia-
ton from q normal condition. Com
