WONDERFUL FEAT PERFORMED
BY ELECTRICIAN,
THE DOCTORS
Cat Apparently Killed by Electric
Shock Restored in Few
Minutes.

St. Joseph. No., Dec. 28-N. Schel-
llnger, an electrician of Chicago, TO-
day in the presence of a number of
persons interested in the progress Of
science shocked apparently to death a
cat and after the heart of the feline
had long ceased TO beat, Schellinger
reversed the current of electricity and
the shock restored The heart beats, al
though they were feeble at first.
Within two hours after the cat had
been pronounced dead it had been re-
stored to the fullness Of life and vigor
and was as playful as ever.
The current was kept turned on
until there seemed no possibility of a
doubt of the fatality. Several phvsi-
clans examined the animal and all
agreed in pronouncing it dead. In
hve minutes more an alternating cur
rent of low power was started and in
the course of a few seconds heart ac-
ton commenced.
Electrician Schellinger says there
is no doubt in his mind that any per-
son who has seemingly been killed by
electric shock can be restored if
intelligent action is followed on the
lines adopted by him today and if the
can receive such attention
within a few minutes after the acct
dent has occurred.

WORK ON YANKEE CuPIDlTY

Washington, Dec. 28-The United
States minister at Madrid has called
the attention of the postmaster gen
eral to the continued existence of
Spanish swindlers who attempt to gain
money by the invention of estates 60
ing begging in Spain for want of
claimants.
He says that many American citi-
zens become victims, a number even
having taken a voyage to Spain in
the hope of getting property to which
they have not the slightest title. The
minister says he has transmitted a
large number of forgeries drawn upon
regular government stamped paper to
the Spanish government and has urged
the ministry to exert itself to ferret
out these fragrant swindles. Nothing,
he says, has been done.
One reason for this .inaction. he
says, may be the feeling that no per-
al be really swindled who has
not morally become an accomplice by
being willing to spend money in order
to receive a legacy to which he knows
he is not entitled.

Detroit, Dec. 28-The Michigan
Central depot at Wyandotte, a suburb
OF Detroit, was the scene of a bold
mail robbery some time last night,
when a pouch containing, it is esti-
mated, 500, 900 of negotiable papers,
checks and money, was stolen from
the waiting room.
Two sacks OF mail and a pouch Of
second class matter were dropped ON
the platform by a south bound Mich
igan Central train at 1928. Night
Operator Richer, it is supposed, took
the two bags and instead of carrying
them to the ticket office where the
mail is usually kept, allowed them to
lie in the waiting room.

Ignorant of the fact that II of the
bags had been stolen until his atten-

THAWED OUT GIANT
Number of Dead and Wounded
Probably Larger Than
Usual.

Keyser, W. Va, Dec. 28-One OF
the most disastrous accidents in the
history of railroad building in this
section happened at Bakers camp,
near Durbin, Pocahontas county, on
the line of the Coal & Iron railroad.
now building out from Elkins.
AS the result of a dynamite explo-
sion six men are dead and several
others are not expected to live. The
accident happened at noon yesterday,
while the men were at dinner. Some
dynamite had been placed about the
stove to thaw out and shortly after a
terrific explosion wrecked the camp,
killed three men outright and injured
eight others, three of whom have since
died. The dead men were blown into
atoms, legs, arms and hands and even
parts of their bodies being found in
different directions from the little
building which they lived among the
wild mountains.
Physicians hurried from Greenbank
and worked all night with the
wounded, some of whom begged the
doctors to shoot them instead of help
ing them to live to be blinded or
MANNED for life.
On account of indirect communi-
cation with the camp it is impossible
to secure complete details tonight.
