Maneating Pike of Yorkshire.

From the yorkshire POST
DR. G. V. A. Robertson of Pickering re-
ports: ION Saturday 1 received a call to
visit the son of a farmer. The message
was, The lad has been bitten by a fish,
On my arrival l found the lad suffering
from a severe wound of the right foot,
which required several stitches. On max
ing inquiries I was told the lad had been
bathing along with two others. in the river
Leven. which runs near to the farm at Sim
nington, and getting out of the water
he sat on the bank, as lads are wont TO do,
when suddenly a large fish jumped out of
the water onto the bank, seized the lad by
the foot and jumped in again. The distance
from the water to the edge of the bank
was quite two feet, and the lads foot was
three feet from the edge of the bank. A
lady who was passing and heard his cries
went to his assistance and carried him
home, as the foot was bleeding p-ofusely.
A gentleman who stays at the farm and Is
an enthusiastic angler asked to be shown
the place, and said he would try to catch
the fish. On taking his fishing tackle he
had the qualification of catching the fish
In few minutes with an artificial bait. 1t
turned out to be fine pike. measuring two
feet one and a half inches long, and weigh
ing six pounds. There can be no doubt"
adds the doctor las to the truth of the
currence. FOR l not only saw the lad and
the fish, but also saw the fish measured and
the gentleman who caught it."

WALTER MINNIs ARRESTED.
Charged With Assaulting Mrs. Annie
M, Deviue.

Walter MINIS was arrested last evening
by Officer G. II. Dawson of the ninth pre-
cinct station on a charge of assaulting Mrs
Annie NJ. Devine with q dangerous weapon.
The arrest came after a search which has
lasted continually since the time OF the IN
jury to Mrs Devine, on the evening OF the
Fourth OF July. MINIS has admitted to the
officers that he committed the assault. The
warrant charging him with assault with
dangerous weapon was fled in the Police
Court this morning and the case was con-
tinued indefinitely, to await the outcome
of the injuries to Mrs. Devine. Bond in the
case was fixed at $1,000 In default of which
the prisoner was committed to jail.
The assault was one of the most peculiar
that has come to the attention OF the local
police authorities for some time. Mrs. De-
vine was sitting out in front of her house
with her husband about 1920 pm. on the
evening Of the Fourth, when four boys
came down the street. As they got oppo-
site the house one OF the boys threw some
thing into the yard. unnoticed by those in
IT. 1t was an electric battery with dyna-
mite cartridge on 1t. The connection with
the battery was made and almost as soon
as the battery landed In the chair where
Mrs. Devine was sitting II exploded. The
report was like that of cannon. Those in
the yard did not know what had happened
And the boys who had just passed had fed
Mrs. Devine screamed that she was shot
her for further explanation. When the In
jury was found to be serious. medical aid
was called and Mrs. Devine was taken into
her home. The doctor pronounced the
wound dangerous. 1t was found that the
cartridge had exploded and had penetrated
her hip. Probing eight inches in the flesh
has failed to locate the end of the cartridge
1t Is the opinion of the doctors that there
is a chance for recovery, but they say ii
will be slow.
The task which the detectives had to I'M
dertake was no small one. Officer Dawson
worked on the case carefully. He succeed
ed in locating one Of the boys of the crowd
from which the dangerous cartridge was
thrown. and through him the identity of
the guilty man was discovered. MINIS
was known to the police, as they say he
has been in the tolls before. When MINIS
was located at 1922 E street northwest the
police say, he defed the officer to arrest
him and locked himself in his room. The
Officer showed that he intended to lock
MINIS up, and the latter was impressed
and gave himself up. The officer says he
admitted his guilt and took the officer to
place where similar batteries were found
They are used to break rocks in blasting
and are considered very powerful. Officers
say that they do not see how Mrs. Devine
escaped death.
1t Is expected that 1t will be several weeks
before the case can be tried, owing to the
condition of Mrs Devine.
