STABBED IN

THOMAS GIBBONS SEEKS A FIGHT
 AND GETS IT
Robinson Under Arrest For Usinu knife-Gib5ons Will Recover Particulars of the Fray.
Special to Reyiew.)

Especial to Reyiew)
 Douglas, June 1.-Sunday at about twelve o'clock there. was a fight in the Midget saloon, in which mnr named Thomas L. Gibbons was stabbed. Gibbons is an electrician working at the shelter. Sunday he was drinking and by noon was considerably intoxi. cated. He had some words with man named Robinson GU. iiI front of the saloon. According to the sto told | by a bystander, Gibbns tried to force a fight on Robinson, who is a much smaller man and in poor health Rob, inson did not want to fight, but Gib. bons was bound to make him fight and coming at Robinson he called him a ! vile name and struck at him. Robin. son Warded of the blow with his left arm and with his right stabbed Gib- bons in the right side, near the tenth rib with large-bladed pocket knife. Robinson then got away and went around the corner where he was stopped by MT. LeRoy, who kept him until Date Graham arrived and made the arrest and took him to the jail In the meantime Dr. Utz had been called to attend to Gibbons, who was badly wounded and bleeding profusely. The flow of blood was stopped and Gibbons was taken to his room. Dr. Utz then probed the wound to a depth of about one inch, the probe coming in contact with some obstruction at that depth, which showed that the wound was not as deep as it was first | thought to be and not as dangerous. It was a very close call, for if the knife had defected a little either up or down, Robinson would have been murderer. Gibbons is resting easily | and will soon be out again.
 At one time he thought his time had come to die and he was naturally a little excited. He gave the name and address of a sister, who was to be notified in case of his death. The name he gave was Mrs. c. A. Foster, Chica- go, 142 Sunnie street He also gave I
 the address of his son, which was G. T. Gibbons, Auston, Illinois.
 Gibbons is a member of the Royal Archmen, 2s4 Ivanho council, Cincin- nati, Ohio. He carries a s3,00e paid life insurance policy.
 At present there is no fear of his dying unless some unforeseen compli. ication sets in. The knife used by
 Robinson was common pocket knife, | with three blades, on of which
 had a dagger point and was the one
 used in stabbing Gibbons; this blade
 was not over two and one-half inches long, but would have inflicted mortal | wound if used in the right place.
 l At the present writing Robinson is ibeing given a preliminary hearing in the court of Judge Johnson. He is lcharged with felony and cannot be tried under that charge in a justice
 court. He, of course. pleads self de Ifense. and seems to have the sympathy
 of the people, as he is apparently in livery ill health and very weak. He Hooks like anything but a fighting man

Smallpox In OIden Days.

The first accurate description of the
nature and ravages of smallpox is that

flourished In the tenth century and
was the author of books on medicine
and alchemy.
This terrible scourge was also de-
scribed In most of the ancient Chinese
and Indian books. In China 1t was
known as the "bean disease" and
traced back to the times of the EN-
peror Kwang WI, who reigned A. ID.

The earliest Chinese treatise on
smallpox was published In 1928, and
from this 1t appears that incubation

the poison Is communicated by the
parents to their offspring, so that all
possess Its germ In their constitution.

The only relaxation Kant, the cele-

himself was Il walk, which he invarla-

at about the same hour every afternoon.

how, as he passed n certain building in

On look lg up he discovered, as he

the scarcity of insects, and the birds

A group of railroad men In New Or

Times Democrat. One man In relating

the most remarkable thing | ever saw

fast II sucked the water up behind it
as II rushed across the trestle. and

SYMM ES' HOLE.
The Peculiar Theory That Was once
Advanced by n Scientist.

Probably the oldest idea ever for a
moment entertained by scientist was
that of John Cleves Symmes concern
ing the condition of the interior of our
globe. Symmes was n jurist, scien-
tist, or, as the French would say,
"savant," of international reputation.

all round man of letters, yet one would
think that some of his ideas must have
originated with the king of Bedlam.
lie believed and lectured before learn
ed college societies In support of his
views that the earth consists of from
five to seven hollow concentric spheres
and that Mt the poles there Is a round
opening entirely through each of the
several spheres.
According TO this queer theory, these
spheres are placed one inside the other,
like nest of crockery ware. with an
open space of few hundred miles be-
tween each. Furthermore, he believed
that both the outside and the inside
of each of these bubblelike spheres are
inhabited, which would give not less
than ten and probably fourteen thea
ters of action" instead of the one hab-
table surface with which we are all
acquainted to greater or lesser de-
gree. Symmes lived for many years
near Newport, Ky.

You never saw a poet or painter
with large, coarse ears that stand out
from the head like extended wings.
That kind OF an aurlcular appendage
betokens coarseness of mind. A long,
narrow ear that lies fat to the head Is
a sign of pugnacity. Never trust man
with thin, waferlike ear. He was
born hypocrite, If not thief. A very
small ear betokens trifing mind, lack
ing decision. Ears set very high on
the head indicate narrowness of mind.
A large, well shaped ear that does not
spread itself to the breeze is indicative
of generousness. Most of the world
compellers had large ears and well de-
veloped noses. Although there are so
many millions of people in the world,
no two pairs of ears are alike. Each
has marked individuality.

Military saIutes.

OF military salutes, raising the right
hand to the head is generally believed
TO have originated from the days of the
tournament when knights filed past
the throne of the queen of beauty. and.
by way of compliment, raised their
hands to their brows to imply that her
beauty was too dazzling for unshaded
eyes TO. gaze upon. The officers salute
with the sword has a double meaning.
The first position. with the hilt oppo-
site the lips, is a repetition Of the cru
sader's action In kissing the cross hilt
of his sword In token of faith and
fealty, while lowering the point after
ward implies either submission or
friendship, meaning in either case that

ZlGZAG VALLEYS.
The Processes of Nature by which

Volcanic action has in most cases prl-
marily determined the con6guration Of

agents In the formation of tortuous val
leys have been streams flowing above
ground or below the surface. These
naturally take the course of least re-

thus gradually enlarge their channels
and are flanked by rising ground
II has been ascertained by well
known expert that the serpentine course
Of the valley of the Cheddar gorge Is
caused by the jointing in the limestone.
The rock, he tells us, is traversed by
two systems of joints, which appear to
be vertical or nearly so, intersecting ap-
proxlmately at right angle. The Joint
surfaces form salient and re-entrant an
giles, the former opposite to the latter,
SO that IL the two sides of the glen were
brought together they would seem to
interlock. Water above or below the
surface would soak along these open
joints and widen them into assures, and
this movement, sometimes to the right
and sometimes to the left, would follow
zlgzag lines, so that the natural course
of the current would by Its continuous
action excavate valley OF this unusual
character.-London Answers.
