HE SLEPT IN THE SNOW
CUSTER M'KAY'S SoMNAMBU-
LIsTIC ADVENTURE
Walked Out Of His Sleeping Car and
Wandered About-Discovered
In Time to Save His Life

Custer Mckay, the eighteen-year-o old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. James L. Mckay,
of Oakland came within fifteen minutes
of being frozen to death at Tehachapi
Wednesday night or Thursday morning.
A partial account of his adventure was
published in The Herald of yesterday.
but the details learned later show that
the young man had a most peculiar and
dangerous experience.
Mrs. Mckay and her son left Oakland
on Wednesday for Mexico by the South
ern Pacific train for this city. All went
well until after the cars had left Te-
hachapi, where the mother noticed that
her son was not in his berth, and, after
making a rapid search of the car. she
gave the alarm to the conductor. 1t was
soon discovered that the boy was not on
the train, and as his clothes were in his
berth, and his shoes in the car aisle, 1t
was evident that he must have made his
way to the open, clad only in his under
clothes and in his stocking feet.
The night was bitter cold one. and on
the ground there was from six to eight
inches of snow. For a warmly clad
man to be exposed to the weather at
such time would have been risky, but
for a lad with nothing but undershirt
and drawers, wandering on the noun
tains under such circumstances was
almost certain death.
The telegraph gave warning of what
had happened to station agents and sec
tion men. and the distracted mother
came on to this city. Her condition was
pitiable in the extreme. Miss Hall, the
telegraph operator at the Arcade depot,
did all that could be done to comfort her.
and the best of care was bestowed on
her by the officials of the road, but it was
feared that she would become frantic.
At last came the news that the boy had
been found and was alive, though he had
been FROST bitten, and had had the most
narrow kind of an escape from death.
From the first dispatches on the matter
it was gathered that he had left the car
just from a sudden freak to see the
snow, with which he was not familiar,
and had not been able to get back on the
train. On his arrival. however. it was
ascertained that he had been the subject
of somnambulism. He had gotten out
of his berth and walked out of the car
the attack happily seizing him while
the train was at the station at Tehach-
api. Here he had wandered about while
sound asleep, and finally had lain
down in the snow. and comfortably
started on his slumber of death, when
one of the railway men, going home
from the depot, happened to stumble
over his snow-covered body, and, seeing
what the obstacle was, had secured help
and took the young fellow to the depot.
where a doctor was summoned. The
physician said that II he had been left for
fifteen minutes longer he would surely
have perished AS 1t was, it took the
hardest kind of work to bring the boy
to consciousness, and his legs and feet
were found to be badly frost bitten. On
his reaching this city, more effective
treatment was given to him. and he was
made able to continue his journey,
though he will not recover from his ad
venture for some months.

assault attempted on the person of w. p.
Danforth and Others The indictment
against Lee was found in the Federal
District Court for the Eastern district
of Texas. Counsel for the defendant
claimed that this court had no right to
apprehend Lee, as the offense being COM
mitted in the Indian Territory the Fed
eral Court of that Territory alone had
the right to bring the initial step in his
prosecution.
Judge Wellborn, in an extended opin-
ion, sustained that view in the
matter, holding that while the Texas
court formerly had the required jurls-
diction, recent act of congress
which was passed. however, be-
fore the alleged offense was COM
mitted, gave the class of crimes with
which Lee is charged to the jurisdiction
of the Territorial court and that there
fore he cannot be held on any process
of the Texas tribunal. Lee was accord

A happy family is that of Mr.. James Mo

ness with these people was to learn the facts
for his paper Of the cure of their thirteen
yesr-old daughter from q case Of nervous
prostration, and the facts were learned from
Mrs. Mckinney herself, who quickly told
the following story:
"The first perceptible result of her ex-
treme nervousness was apparent in halting
step of the child in her right limb, I" said the
mother, "and a physician was called in to
attend her. No apparent change coming,
another doctor was called to attend her.
She continued to grow worse although we
thought the doctors helped her, until she

Single Men Die Young.

Germans are VIGOROUSLY fond of sta
tistics-whether those immortalized by
Mr. Balfour or not-and a certain DR..
Schwartz has just published in Berlin
a little book which absolutely revels in
them. The worthy doctor has studied
the official statistics of length of life,
and has come to the conclusion that, In
order to live long, 1t is necessary to be
married. Out of every 20 men of 60
years of age 4S are married and % are
bachelors; at 70 the proportions are 81
to II, and at 80 nine to three.
OF course, it may be said that at those
ages there are many more married than
single men, but Dr. Schwartz is ready
for that objection, and replies that be-
tween the ages of 80 and 45 the mortal
ity among bachelors Is 81 per cent,
while among married men 1t Is only 18
per cent. DR.. Schwartz has proved that
1t is absolutely necessary to be married
II man wishes to become a centena-
rian, for of fifty proved centenarians
whom the doctor has examined not one
was a bachelor. 1t Is true that there
were no married men, either, for all of
the old men We're widowers. The facts
are now established. To live long q
man must be married, and then become
a widower at some period of his life,
which has not yet been ascertained.
Evidently, II DIR. Schwartz discovers
the exact length married life should
continue he will have solved the prob
lem Of old age.
But it Is possible that wives would
not be so complaisant as to leave their
husbands widowers exactly on the right
date, and until some arrangement Is
made on this score the science of living
long will never be absolutely exact.

r,,o Most Remarkable Rivers.

From the beginning the Nile was an
exceptional river. Its sources were I'M
known. There were those who thought
that the Nile flowed down from heaV-
en-: that 1t welled up from streams that
disappeared under the earth on an
other continent. or, at the very least,
that its springs We're inaccessible TO
man.
There was no such mystery ABOUT
the Euphrates. From the remotese
times Its sources seem to nave Deeh
known by hearsay. If not by oDserSa-
ton. to the jewellers on the coast.
The Nile was beneficent even IN Its
floods The people learned to let It's
waters flow over their lands at Inc
time of the inundation, and where they
raised dikes and sunk canals and Da-
sins 1t was to let in the water, not to
keep 1t out.
The Euphrates also had Its floods,
but these were destructive. They scar
red the soft earth with raylnes and
swept the fertile soil onward to build
new lands along the edge Of the Per
sian Gulf The people anticipated the
overflow with dread, and their most
absorbing task was to restrain the
river within bounds They became
more intimate with the earth than
their Egyptian contemporaries. They
learned how to mold the clay and TO
mike their houses and the houses OF
their kings and their gods out of the
material under their feet. The Egyp-
tians learned something about brick
manufacture. but they had no need
to depend wholly upon that sort of
building material. 1t was easy for
them to obtain stone, as their huge
piles attest.
