 Gushing did not look around until close to noon. He was in wild part of the country unknown to him. Tn the afternoon he thought he discerned a water tank on the opposite side of the canyon. Descending he discovered he had been led >astray by mirage. He was unable to retrace his steps, and continued down until he came to the river. In attempting to cross he was caught in the current and dashed down stream against rocks and powders. He gained the opposite bank, bruised and mangled, with the flesh torn from his thigh. He ssruggled on until late at night, and finally reached railroad section house. A special train carried him to Del Rio.

CRAZED BY FANATICS.
MAINE FISHER FOLK SEEK SAC.
 RIFICE OF CRIPPLED BOY.
Unholy Excitement Due to Religious Frenzy-Dog and Cat Fall Vic- tims to Wild Desire for
 Blood Atonement.

A careful investigation of the out break of the religious frenzy on Beal's island, Maine, which nearly resulted in the sacrifice of child becauseits insane mother said God had ordered her to com init the crime, reveals an extraordinary exhibition of fanaticism among the 400 residents
 Three weeks ago a gray-bearded man who called himself Elder Buck began to hold meetings on the island. The first meetings were of fervid charac- ter, largely attended by women Later Buck was joined by two men named Buber and Allaby, who assisted at the meetings, and whose fiery oratory and doctrines added flames to those already kindled by Buck.
 Ruber preached the shell fire" doc Urine. He told the villagers that they must give all their money, houses, lands, cattle, and even clothing to the preach CTS. His listeners, terrified by the awful fate in store for them, and quaking be- fore the awe-inspiring gaze of Allaby. assented. The exhorter worked himself into a frenzy doing some great contor- tionist acts.
 Last Monday night the people turned their pockets inside out for the preach CTS, and had prepared to sell their prop erty for an offering tomorrow. On Thursday night Thurman Beal, a crip- pied boy nine years old, was placed on the altar before the congregation, sneared with the blood of a newly killed lamb. He then was covered with a sack while the exhorter, working himself into 8 frenzy, commanded the spirit which the child possessed to depart The child remained a cripple, but the people did not lose faith
 Some of the most jealous converts then went to the residence of MT. J. E.. Beal, where, at the woman S command, a dog and cat were offered up. Then the

 insane mother declared her crippled boy, Thurman, must be sacrificed. Some joy fully acceded, and other women pro- posed to sacrifice their children Frank Wallace and John A. Beal, two strong minded men who were present, were in- strumental in bringing the people to their senses.
 Wallace seized the boy, dashed for the door and held the crowd at bay while the frightened youngster fled, finding hid ing place in the rocks Beal fled to the mainland for help, and came back with some constables, who arrested Mrs. Beal She was sent to an asylum. Another woman was convinced her baby must be killed. Her husband guarded the child all one night from the frenzied woman, who had armed herself with a butcher knife.
 The evangelists left the island hur- riedly when 8 deputy sheriff told them the people of the mainland vowed ven- geance. Some of the people believe Al laby is one of the Utah Mormons who have been working in the east Others think he is a member of the Holy Ghost" and United States Society of Shiloh. It is believed Allaby is a hyp- notist possessing great power. and that Mrs. Beal is under his spell

 From the earliest times fragrant scents have been the certain accom- paniment Of luxury and refinement Many women affect one scent that is peculiarly their own. and by means of the sachets within their wardrobesN and personal belongings, suggest a dainty but scarcely deflnable exhalation of characteristic fragrance.
