PORT JEFFERSON. L /. Aug. 10
Alone for q week with madman in the
lighthouse on Stratford Shoals, lighting
day and night TO prevent himself being
killed and to keep the light burning,
was the awful experience through
which First Assistant Keeper Merrill
Hulse has just passed.
StratfOrd Shoals light is on Long
Island Sound, midway between this
harbOr and Bridgeport. It is a lonely
spot at all times, and when Julius
COster, the second assistant keeper, re-
turned from a few days absence, a
raving maniac as the result Of too
much drink, the tiny rock became a
bedlam.
Coster, armed with a razor, tried to
Kill Hulse and himself. Overpowered
after an all-day battle. the madman
finally desisted.
One night the maniac tried to put
out the light and did stop il from re-
voIving. After a desperate struggle
Hulse finally threw COster down the
stairway leading to the light tower and
started the light going again.
The wild man then obtained a razor,
and, lashing the blade to the handle,
started out in search of imaginary
enemies. When Hulse saw him next
COster was hard at work with hammer
and chisel, endeavoring to take bricks
from the side Of the tower. He told
EuIse his foes were pursuing him and
were hidden in the brick sides of the
lighthouse.
To-day Coster made up his mind that
he would stop the light and went up
and stopped the revolving lenses
Hulse fought with Coster in the mar
row light tower and succeeded in
throwing him out Of that portion of
the tower.
Then the maniacs delirium took an
other turn and he endeavored to kill
Eulse and himself He attacked Hulse,
but was beaten of. after which he
hacked his own throat with the razor,
inflicting cash after cash, from which
blood poured until the apartment was
covered with Il. His wounds were not
serious, however, and the following day
he stabbed himself with a heavy pocket
knife.
Finally on the sixth day, Head Keeper
Rutland returned TO the tower and
Coster was overpowered and taken to
Port Jefferson.

a drink of water from the tank which

a peculiarly bitter taste about 1t, drank
only a small portion.
The unusual taste so aroused his sus-
picions that, in spite of the fact that the
others made light of his apprehensions,
he insisted upon investigation. Water
from the tank was sent here the next
morning for analysis. and was found to
be strongly impregnated with strych-

he has found some gold In the district,
which until now has been believed to be
thoroughly cleaned up, is certain, for he
has sold some nuggets. Whether his
work is merely a plan to advance stock
in some mining company or not cannot
be stated, but it has caused considera-

orally.
In the old mission days it was known
that the fathers secured treasure from
some point east of San Fernando in the
bleak hills which border the canyon
The tradition that they buried much of
their treasure under the walls of the
San Fernando Mission has caused the
walls of that stately pile to be honey
combed until the mission is almost
complete wreck. If any gold treasure
has been found there the secret has
been we'll guarded, but it is commonly
believed that the discovery of this gold
formed the basis for the rich Leonis
estate litigation, which has been In the

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1o.-The report

of the mission fathers, the source
whence they secured funds with which

most elaborate of them all, has caused a
rush of prospectors and others to the
district around the foot of Mount Glea-

been circulated that the usually quiet
district is now the scene of extensive
mining researches.
A. J. Peterson, until recently an en-
ploye of the Los Angeles Street Depart

time ago he saved young Indian from
drowning, and in reward for that SER
vice an old squaw gave him information
which led him to resign his job, secure
a mining outfit and, with several pack
animals laden with grub, start into the
Mount Gleason country. There he went
to work in an abandoned shaft which
has been known to mountaineers in
that section for years. He also staked
out other claims, but what was the re-
