MIND AFFECTED BY RELIGION
Young Kenosha Girl Almost Crazed
by Gyrations of "Holy jumpers"

Young henOsha Girl Almost Crazed
by Gyrations of "HoIy Jumpers"
So called Holiness meetings at
Racine junction, carried on by small
sect commonly known as s'Holy Jump
ers, have turned the head of II
year ola girl to such an extent that
the Jaw may be appealed to in order
to save her from an asylum.
Her parents live. IN Kenosha, and
some time ago the girl came to Ra-
cine and secured employment. She
attended the meetings of the ssHoly
jumpers, and on last Saturday the
spirit moved her and she professed
conversion.
The people with whom she lived
claimed that the new life had a pecu-
liar effect on the young girl, mas
much as she became exceedingly ner-
vous and at times appeared to be ir-
responsible.
This was said to be due to the ex-
element of the conversion and the
manner IN which it was celebrated by
the religious fanatics who at times
become very demonstrative.
The result was that her parents
were notified and came to Racine
Their attempt to take the girl home
with them failed and an officer was
called IN to assist.
The daughter was taken to Keno
sha, but refused to stay, and has re-
turned to this city, where she is in
constant attendance at the Holiness
meetings. Her parents, it is said,
will appeal to the law and compel the
girl to return to her home. Racine

THE GIFT OF CAB.

why Stephenson Thought There
Was No Power Equal to 1t.
When George Stephenson was visit
ing the seat of Sir Robert Peel at
Drayton on one occasion, says the writ
er Of Famous British Engineers"
there happened to be present DR.. Buck
land, the scientist, and Sir William
Follett, the famous advocate.
Stephenson discussed with DR.. Buck
land one of his favorite theories as to
the formation of coal and, though I'M
doubtedly in the right, was ultimately
vanquished by the arguments and or
atory of the doctor, who was better
master of tongue fence than himself.
Next morning while bordering over his
defeat in the solitude of the garden he
was accosted by Sir William Follett
and confded to that gentleman the sto-
ry Of his failure.
Sir William, acquainted with the de-
tails of TIE matter In dispute, agreed to
take up the case and soon afterward
attacked DR.. auckland on the subject.
A long discussion ensued in which the
man of law completely silenced the
man of science, who was at last COM
PEELED to own himself vanquished. Sir
Robert Peel, highly amused at this
example Of ''tit for tat" then turned
to the inventor and inquired, with a
laugh:
"And what do you say on this mat
ter, Mr. Stephenson?"
why" he replied, Il will only say
this-that of all the powers above and
under the earth there seems to me no
power equal to the gift of the gab"

TRUTH ABOUT FORT GRANT
Some Historical Facts About the
Old Fort That Will Prove Inter
eStIng Reading
speeiel correspondenee % the GUARpIAN.

Special Correspondence to the GUARDIAN.
The post was declared abandoned
early in 1901. Since that time a
detachment has been kept there to
care for the government property;
the last detailed for that purpose
was transferred to Fort Hauachuea
for station on October 4th, and the
post was turned over to the custody
of a caretaker. This, however,
does not signify that the depart
ment has abandoned il. We are
informed, through an unofficial
source, that it is to be used as
target range for light artillery.
During the month of October
the forest service made special in
quiry in view of obtaining the
timbered portion in the event of
abandonment and was informed by
the war department that there is
now no intention of opening the
military reservation.
As a matter of historical i'm
portance, we might add that, Fort
Grant, established as Camp Grant,
was first occupied by troops in
1878. 1t was built for three troops
of cavalry and one company of in.
fantry; $4,000 were appropriated
for this purpose and work was
commenced early in 1873. In
1874 an additional appropriation
Of $4,000 was received to finish
the post, since which time no
special appropriation has been
made.
The reservation was declared by
an executive order dated April II,
1876, published in General Order
No. II, Department of Arizona,
1876. The designation of "post"
was changed to 'fort" IN 1879.
Location: latitude 80 degrees, 25
minutes, north; longitude 32 de-

altitude, approximately $500 above
