ASLEEP -FOUR DAYS AGO.
Has Been Attempting to Awaken
Them Ever Since, and Has
Aroused Only Two.

LASALLE, H., April 2e.-Rudolph Bar
tag his wife and their five children were
found in a comatose condition in their home
at Tfcona n village near here. Leo Lenzer,
an amateur hypnotist. later confessed that
he put the entire family to sleep four days
ago and that he had been trying to awaken
them ever since. This evening he succeeded
in arousing two of the children, but all of
the others are still asleep. A physician was
summoned and after a careful examination
declared that the victims of Lenzer's hyp-
MOTTO skill are in a normal state as far as
heart action is concerned. They are simply
asleep
The villagers at first threatened LenZer
with violence, but contented themselves
with mounting guard over him and his vic
Tins and compelling him to continue his ef-
forts 10 rouse the Bartag family. He finally
succeeded I'm awakening two of the children
and then collapsed himself under the nerv
Gus strain. He partly recovered later and
says that he has been under so great
nervous strain for the last four days that
he lost control of his own will power. He is
confident that as soon as he RECEIVERS his
normal temperament he can awaken the
sleepers.

PLOT TO WRECK AND KILL
ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP NIAGARA
POWER COMPANY's TUNNEL.
Stick of Dynamite and Cartridge Dis
covered i'm a Dangerous Place by
One of the "Nipper" Boys.

NIAGARA FALLS, April 26.-By the
merest accident the lives of about thirty
men and the tunnel work of the Niagara
Power Company were saved from destruc-
ton. Last night. as the night shift went
on duty, discovery was made of a most
dastardly attempt to wreck the tunnel and
kill the men working 16O feet below the
surface of the earth. The shaft leading
down to the tunnel is 40 feet deep. From
the bottom of the shaft the tunnel runs
north and south and the men work at both
headings. The blasts are discharged by
means of batteries which are opened at the
foot of the shaft, the wires extending to
the headings. When the night shift went
to work one of the nipper boys discovered
that at a point 100 feet from the bottom
of the shaft the wires from one of the bat
teries had been cut and a cartridge cap
connected and placed in a stick of dyna-
mite The stick of dynamite had been
placed between two boxes of dynamite con-
tanning seventy-fve pounds Of the material.
1t is customary for the day shift to ar
range the blasts and the night shift sets
them off when il comes on.
Had the "nipper" boys failed to discover
the plot the men at the headings would
have been killed and imprisoned and work
which has cost many thousands of dollars
ruined. The object or the motive is not
known. Detectives are at work on the case.

CHICAGO, April 26-Storms played havoc
with the wires last night and to-day, and
communication between many points in In
diana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas,
Missouri. Michigan. Wisconsin and Ohio
was cut off for time, and in some cases,
has not yet been restored. All the States
mentioned were swept by winds that ranged
from thirty TO seventy miles in velocity.
Telegraph and telephone poles were blown
down, and even where the wires withstood
the fury of the gale they were rendered
practically worthless by swaying and cross
ing. The storm was general throughout
Indiana. but the greatest damage was done
I'm the oil fields. where hundreds of der
ricks are down. and the loss runs far into
the thousands. Farm buildings were de-
stroyed or damaged at Isolated points and
orchards and fencing suffered heavily. A
few minor casualties to persons are re-
ported.
Much damage to property and some loss
of life resulted from the storm. At Joplin,
Mo. three persons were killed and thirty
injured. At Omaha, Cleveland and else
where several persons were hurt. few
places report the storm as having had the
characteristics of tornado. but generally
there was no rotary moving cloud-merely
a straight blow of hurricane-like force.
Buildings were blown down or lost their
roofs and chimneys. and signs, awnings.
boxes and even wooden sidewalks were sent
flying into the streets. manning people who
came in contact with them Costly plate
glass windows were smashed into bits and
weak doors were torn OFF their hinges. In
the rural districts barns and outhouses of
all kinds were hattended and some stock
was killed. Trees and fences also suffered.
The Associated Press found some of its
usual circuits to be unavailable because of
the loss OF wires, and roundabout circuits
were established. For instance. Indianapo-
lis, which usually receives all its press re-
port by way of Chicago, was partly sup
piled by way of Washington, the Gulf
States division and louisville.
