THE D|SUSED SHAFT |
TRUE STORY OF A BOY AND
A DOG.
Drowning Collie Near End-Boy Low
ers Basket-Kept from Rescue
by Heavy Stone-Saved
at Last. d

A piteous howl startled Walter Hen
messy, boy living at Gorebridge, Mid
lothian. He looked round. Not soul
was in sight, no animal, not even a
bird. Yet there it was again-a deep,
long-drawn howl, apparently rising
from the depths Of the earth. F
Near by lay disused shaft. It was
deep, and for some feet at the bottom
filled with water. Running to the place
the boy threw himself on the ground
and peered into the gloomy depths. At
first he could see little. Then, his eyes
becoming more accustomed to the
darkness, he made out the bedraggled
form of collie.
Seeing the boy, the dog whined
plaintively. To Hennessy it sounded
as a mute appeal for help, and he
rushed back to his home. In his mind
he had formed plan to save the
drowning collie. He wanted basket,
a long piece of rope and some meat
Having found these, he returned,
breathless and excited, to the shaft.
First tying the rope to the handle of
the basket, Hennessy placed few

Strike Situation.

Minneapolis, Aug. 1.-THE first Sun
day of the strike of the Northern Pa
cifc and Great Northern systems saw
the situation unchanged so far as
those on the outside could see.
Both sides express confidence in the
outcome, the company officials profess
idg to see the end of the trouble in a
day or so, and the men claiming they
will surely win in time. Reports re-
ceived by the contendieg sides are
conflicting:
A number of strike breakers left St.
Paul via the Great Northern last night.
They were escorted to the Union depot
by squad of three policemen. There
was no one at the depot, however, to
molest the strike breakers.

ted in city's Fever Report Last
Issued.

Washington, Aug. 7.-Active control
OF the yellow fever situation in New
Orleans by the United States health
service will begin Immediately.
Orders to that effect were wired last
night to Surgeon J. Fl. White, the ma
rine hospital officer now on duty in
that city.
These orders followed the receipt
from DIR. White during the day of sew
eral kilograms which showed that the
citizens of New Orleans had promised
their hearty cooperation in the work
to be undertaken by the federal gov
ernment and would meet certain fnan-
clal requirements imposed by the ma
rine hospital service as a preliminary
to assuming the responsibility.
Already Surgeon General Wyman
had given directions to a number of
marine hospital surgeons to proceed to
New Orleans for assingnment to work
under DR.. White. These are all Of
fcers who have had experience dealing
with yellow fever epidemics.
The record is as follows:
New cases 27.
Total cases to date 533.
Deaths yesterday 8.
Total deaths to date, 105.
New sub-foci, 2.
Total sub-foci, 90.
The fever report yesterday was a
great improvement over those during
the middle Of last week and the fact
that there were only two new sub-foci,
one uptown and one downtown, is a
source of special encouragement.
An effort is being made to determine
the number of cases of fever under
treatment and allowing ten days,
which is a liberal estimate for q pa
tient to recover or die, it is figured
that there are now 233 cases under
treatment.

lowered it gently until it rested on a

half-starved animal uttered a little
bark Of pleasure, and made for it raw.

Would his plan succeed? At last, ia
his great joy, the dog got completely
inside the basket, and with shout OF
triumph he began to haul up the rope.
For a few feet all went WE'LL The
dog lay still, paying little heed to the
gallant effort that was being made for

ticed rope attacked to the collie's
neck. It seemed to be dragging the
animal down, and with q cry of dis
may the boy saw his basket overturn
hurling it's living burden back into the
water. z.@
Once more Hennessy baited the bas-
ket with the meat, and lowered it into
the shaft Time after time the collie
scrambled in, but each time the heavy
weight, dragging at the end of the
rope, caused the basket to overbalance.
Thus two hours passed. Tired, but
determined not to desert the drowning
animal, the boy kept to his post. The
shivering animal seemed to know that
he had a friend in the boy
Another hour passed. But the dog
was no nearer to being saved The
heavy weight was too battling.
At last, when he had begun to de-
spair Of rescuing the animal, for the
light was fast failing, the dog scram-
bled inside-this time dragging in with
it a large stone.
Again Hennessy pulled at the rope,
as he had done hundred times that
afternoon. The basket swayed from
side to side, but the dog clung to it
tightly with its claws.
Slowly it neared the surface. The
bod did not dare to hope. Victory
had been near before, but never SO
near as now.
One more long pull, and he had won!
With joyful bark the dog sprang
from the basket, shook itself, then
rushed towards its rescuer, licking his
hands, and by every means in its pow
or giving expression to its gratitude.

MYSTERY IN DEATH
Boyd Frisbie, Of Jesup, Dies From
Unknown Cause, After illness Of
Short Duration-candy Thought To
Have Been Cause Of His Demise.

Jesup, Iowa, Nov 22.-The death of
Boyd Frisbie, the thirteen-year- old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Will Frisbie, which
occurred here yesterday, is shrouded in
mystery, the physicians being appar-
emily in the dark as to the real nature
of his sickness. Boyd came here a
week ago last Saturday to visit his
uncle and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w.
Bagenstos He was apparently in the
pink of health, exuberant in his spir-
its and full of enthusiasm for a good
romp or for participation in any form
OF play which would yield a good time.
On Tuesday night he went upstairs to
bed with one of the Bagenstos boys.
In the middle of the night he was
found lying on the floor, unconscious.
Physicians were called and did all in
their power for the little patient, but
in spite Of their skill and vigilance he
remained unconscious growing weak
er all the time until death came to end
his juvenile career.
A. story gained circulation that
Boyd had eaten rather heartily of
cheap candy that was highly colored
with bright materials. An investiga-
ton disclosed that he had not eaten
any large amount of candy and that
it was not Of the cheapest kinds and
that which would likely contain pois-
on and produce illness.
The parents were sent for as soon
as the boy was found to be in seri-
GUS condition and remained with him
up to the time of his death.
The funeral services We're held at
La Porte this afternoon, there being
large attendance of the friends and
neighbors Of the family.

There Was a Fair Wednesday
Supply and ALI Attractive
Cattle Sold Readily
MOST KINDS a LITTLE HIGHER
Decreased Receipts. Having Benefi-
cial Effect on the Price, but Poor
Lots are Still Very Low-steady
Demand for Hogs at Prices Not
Greatly Changed.

Chicago, Nov. 22.-Cattle-There was
a fair Wednesday supply, the run be-
ing about $4,000. ALI attractive cattle
sold much better than a short time ago
as u result Of decreased marketings
and improved demand and even other
descriptions advanced, but the poorest
lots are still extremely low.
Heifers are selling we'll. choice kinds
making firm prices, while the bulk of
medium to good grades are steady.
Smaller supplies this week have i'm
parted slightly better life to the mar :
ket, and while advances have not been
the rule, strong prices have thus far
been paid for all desirable cows and
heifers, and offerings are meeting
broader call from all quarters. though
the demand has thus far been filled
quite handily from decreased supplies.
and traders are urging a continual lion
Of moderate marketing as a means OF
holding trade in the improved shape.
Marketing Of 31.700 cattle In two
days this week has fallen $500 under
a week ago and nearly 10000 below
the run here a year ago. but the trade
as yet has shown small indication of
advancing much above last weeks
closing range. and liberal receipts here
tomorrow and Thursday promise to
throw trade into state OF weakness
which may wipe out some of the adj
vance scored week ago.
Hogs.
There was a good demand at steady
prices, and hogs sold largely at 1850
4.s71a.
Hog growers are evidently not In
the humor to pursue any policy that
will give the packer an opportunity to
raid prices further. Country senti-
ment is to the effect that there has
been enough decline and that before
long demand must develop for every
thing offered. Packers. however. are
still bearish and are not buying in ex-
cess Of fresh meat demand necessities.
There must come time when
packers must take these hogs as fast
as they come" said a trader. They
can not turn them down all the time.
Their cellars are by no means full
and they have their trade to care for.
OF course they can get very busy
later in the season. but meanwhile they
have no particular advantage over the
grower whose hogs are healthy and
putting on weight every day they are
held. The winter price Of hogs will
be determined before long.
Sheep. ~
Sheep were steady to strong and
lambs strong to 10 cents higher.
