If this story had come. from any
other place but Guthrie, a few may
have accredited it. "Several years
ago, so the story goes, a calf tore
a mans vest from back yard fence
where itwas hanging, chewsd up the
garment and swallowed q gold
watch that was in the pocket. A
few weeks ago the calf, now q fully
grown animal, was slaughtered for
beef, and the watch was found in
such a position between the lungs
that the process of respiration, clos
ing and filling the lungs had kept
the stemwinder wound up and the
watch had lost only four minutes in
seven years. 1t will occur to the
average reader that in such a situa-
tion the watch must have lost at
least ten minutes, and consequently
the story has a slightly suspicious
flavor. The public would be more
inclined to credit it If it had been
sent with the cost of the vest and 4
lock of the calf's hair.

PLOT AGAINST A GUNBoAT.
The Marietta Was in Danger at Val
paraisO, Chile.


Valparaiso, Chile (via Galveston, Tex
as). April I5.-It has been given out on
authority which cannot be disputed that
there was a plot here to injure tho
American gunboat Marietta while she
was in this port.
Just prior to the arrival of the Marietta
the American consulate in Valparaiso
was informed by trustworthy persons
that an attempt against the gunboat was
contemplated by Spanish subjects in
Chile.
Immediately upon receipt Of this infor-
nation the American minister. Mr.. Henry
L. Wilson; Consul John F. Caples and
Vice Consul August Moller, jr.. called
upon the governor of the province and
laid the matter before him. This explains
the unexpected trip of the minister from
Santiago to Valparaiso.
once acquainted with the fears of the
American representatives and the facts
in the case. the governor Immediately
gave assurance that the city and mari
time authorities would take precautions
10 protect the Marietta, and extended.
through the minister a cordial welcome
to the officers and seamen. During the
stay Of the Marietta no greater viei-
lance could have been exercised by the
Chilean authorities had the safety of one
of their own warships depended upon
them.
Before the gunboat sailed the American
minister. consul and vice consul. accom-
panied by Capt. Symonds, of the Mari
eta, called upon the governor. and on
behalf of the United States Government
thanked the Chilean authorities for what
had been done to protect the warship.

FEAR KILLED THIS MAN.
Thought He Had HydrophObia, Went
Mad mud Died.

New York. April 15.-Samuel Baxter
died in the Muhlenberg Hospital, in Plain
field. " J.. yesterday, a victim of fright.
lie feared hydrophobia, and although he
did not have it. finally brought himself TO
believe he had it and died.
Baxter was bitten about eight weeks
AGO by a dog which was not mad and did
not go mad. The wound was cauterized
bv Dr. Van d. Hedges and it healed nice
~ without a sign of blood poisoning or
other complication. Baxter felt no i'll
effects that were real.
But he dreaded hydrophobia, and his
fear was increased by his friends. After
they saw that he was apparently out of
danger. they began 10 joke him about
having been bitten and recounted to him
cases Of hydrophobia, and warned him to
look out or he would die.
He broke down Monday night under the
great mental strain. A doctor who eX-
amined him then pronounced his trouble
wholly mental and not hydrophobia. Up
10 the last he did not have true hydro
phobia. but had all indications of simu-
lated hydrophobia, a hysterical affection.
Baxter was taken to the Muhlenburg
Hospital. DR.. Hedges examined him
there. as did others, and did not find
single true symptom. The nurses tried
every means to assure Baxter he had
nothing the matter with him except an
excited imagination. but he would not be-
lieve them, and insisted he was going
mad.
He had been lying silent all last even
ing and refusing to listen to the talk
which was purposely kept up around
him for several hours. Suddenly, just
before midnight, he arose and began TO
take of what clothing he had on. He
knocked down the nurse who tried TO
prevent him, and then ran into the main
ward and simulated hydrophobia.
He greatly frightened the other pa
tients and then ran intS the yard. The
police were summoned. Sergt. Kelly and
Roundsman Frederickson responded with
IN few minutes, and after a hard fight
subdued the man, whom they found rae
ing about the yard and rolling about the
ground
He tried to bite the officers. but was
safely taken into the ward and strapped
20 the bed. From that time he continued
to rave until he died.
