The entire community was saddened and
shocked Thursday morning bv the news
that Walter Blanchard had been killed bv
accident at the Brghtwood paper mill dur
ing the night. He was last seen alive a
about IL 40 by the machine tender. Thomas
Martin. After that he emptied a beating
engine which would have taken him Ii
minutes at least. At about 1915 Mr..
Martin noticed the speed was getting low
on his machine and went out to find Mr..
Blanchard, who was fireman. Not finding
him in either the boiler or engine room, he
took lantern and went down stairs,
where he found Mr.. Blanchard wound
about a shaft-at the top of the room. He
quickly ran and shut down speed, and
then hurried back to see if possibly Mr..
Blanchard might still be alive. Finding

The literary amateur detectives who
have been unceasing in their efforts to
uncover the identity of Fiona Mac
Leod, the Scottish "Neo-Celt," may at
last take rest, as the novelist has at
last made a public statement-of a
kind. says ThS Criterion. She declares
that she is not Mrs. William Sharp
nor Andrew Lang nor any of the 9th
er celebrities with whom She from
time to time has been identified. She
is nobody but herself She writes un-
der the name of Fiona Macleod and
no other. She, however, declines en-
phatcally and with somewhat angry
dignity to satisfy curiosity as to her
personality. She has imperative pri-
vate reasons for wishing to preserve
her incognitO and thinks that publiei-
ty. which She dislikes, would interfere
with her writing. At the end of her
letter, which is given to the world
through her publishers, she appeals to
the paragraphers for the courtesy
both of good breeding and good sense
in fine, to be let alone.

Hard TO Get Out.

An English woman who has been
travelling in Russia seems to have found
it easier 10 get in than to get out of
the ears country. She sent her pass
port to the authorities before starting
in order 10 have it vised and then
blithcly made for the frontier.
Arriving there, she was Immediately
detained and taken before the powers
that not only be- but also do, at the
Russian frontier. Here she was in
formed that her passport did not per

she would he obliged to make herself
comfortable while the police found out
all she had done while in the country.
At first she was rather pleased at
the thought of how she would tell her
friends about it when she got home
But when she found that she had to
pay not only for her room, her meals,
service and all that Sort of thing, but
also for long tclegrams which the au-
thorities were exchanging in regard to
her case, her pleasure dwindled as rap
idly as her funds did.
She finally got off, however, but
without receiving any apology or any
reimbursement,-Ne New York Sun.
