REFUSES FOOD IN TRANCE.
Strange Psychological Puzzle Found
for Authorities in Person
of Prisoner.

LondOn.-A strange psychological
puzzle has been provided for the au-
thorities of Carmathen prison by
Schreiner. the German butler. who is
awaiting his trial on the charge of
numbering his late employer. Mr..
Pryse, and his wife and mother at
Tymawr, ,Cardiganshire. When Schrein-
er was first admitted to prison he at
tempted to starve himself to death by
perslstently refusing all kinds OF nour'
ishment. Matters became so serious
that his life was only saved by the
prison doctor feeding him forcibly by
means of tube. Since thea the
mans conduct has been even more err
ratio. After fasting for one or two
days, he will suddenly jump up and
devour, with almost brute-Iike vo-
racity, the food that has accumulated
in his CELL Schreiner's habit Is to
lie stretched on his cell floor, or to
stand up against the wall In what ap'
pears to be a cataleptic trance. For
days at time he will stare into space,
speechless and motionless as statue.
1t is even necessary to dress and un-
dress him as though he were doll. >
The question that has been exercis
ing the minds of the prison authorities
is this: "Is Schreiner a mailman or a
superb malingerer?" The usual testa
have been applied by the officials. bnh
the man refuses to take the slightest
notice of the outside world. Attempts
to take him off his guard have failed
to induce him to move a single eyelid,
and the problem remains unsolved.

Recent examination Of the records
Of Fairfax county, Virginia, show that
George Washington owned $4,000 acres
Of land when 27 years old, and at the
fall slaughtering in 1880 the Washing
ton family killed $50 hogs for their
use. The examination also brought
out the fact that in 1887 the father

grass, 400 acres in oats, 700 acres in
wheat and 700 acres in other grains
He owned 40 horses. 112 COWS, 500

Julian Singleton Drowned.

The old Keytesville friends of
Mr.. and Mrs. Seth Singleton
will deeply regret to learn of the
drowning of their 13-year-old
son, Julian, which occurred in
an abandoned quarry, three
miles west of ST. Louis, last
Saturday afternoon.
Julian had gone to the quarry
in company with about a dozen
other boys of his own age to fish
and to swim. After fishing
awhile they all concluded to go
in swimming, and the Singleton
lad remained in the water longer
than his companions. None of
the boys were good swimmers,
and after the other lads had ''gone
OUT" Julian Singleton UNDER
took to swim to log in the
middle of the pond, and whi ch
all of them had been using to
support themselves and lessen
danger in swimming around, as
Wdt0E vas dOOOt ~ I0OG
deep in the old quarry.
Before reaching the log Julian
called for help and then sank,
but from what cause none of the
other lads could tell. Seeing
that he was in a dangerous pre-
dicament two of the boys, Jack
Bradley and Ernest Rause,
plunged into the water with
their clothes on and undertook to
rescue their drowning play
mate, but were seemingly un-
able to gain a hold on him, and
when they undertook to get to
his back to assist him out of the
water he started toward them,
and, fearing that they, too,
would be drown ed, they turned
and swan to the shore, leaving
Julian to his sad fate, and he
sank for the last time.
Friends and officers made
every attempt to recover the
dead body, working until 2
O'Clock Sunday morning and
continuing again after a short
sleep and breakfast. Dynamite
was used freely, but on account
of the great depth of the water
it had no effect. A deep. sea
diver, who is with a show at one
of the summer gardens, also
made an attempt to find the
body. Grapple- hooks were used
also, but the body was not re-
covered until the water was
pumped from the pond by a
couple Of reserve engines from
the st. Louis fire department.
Seth Singleton, the unfortu-
nate boys father, is we'll known
in Keytesville and vicinity where
he was at one time pincipal Of
the Keytesville public schools,
later postmaster for four years
and still more recently a mer
chant.
For several years, however,
he has been connected with the
police department in ST. Louis
and is now sergeant police ir
the office of Mayor Rolla Wells
! Mr.. and Mrs. Singleton hav,
the sincerest sympathy of every
citizen of Keytesville in theil
grief over the loss of their dea
boy.

FATAL DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.
Tom kinchelOe, COL, of Salisbury
Blown to Pieces at Bal
laSt-WOrkS.

A fatality occurred at the Wa
bash ballast-pit, one mile west of
Keytesville station, about
6 o'clock Tuesday evening, when
Thos. Kincheloe, col, of Sails.
bury was literally blown to
pieces by the explosion of a box
of deadly dynamite.
Kincheloe, with a number of
other hands, had been employ |
ed at the Wabash ballast works,
and had been using dynamite
with which to blast the ballast
from the pit. He was an expert
shot firer, and had fired several
shots during the day Tuesday,
one of which failed to go off, and
he went back to fire another
shot. He then returned to the
car containing the dynamite to
get his box of the explosive and
again started toward the ballast
pit, but the box exploded in his
hand just as he reached the end
of the car. He was carrying the
box of dynamite in his left hand
and a pick in his right hand
when the explosion took place,
and no reason whatever is as
signed as to what caused the ex-
plosion.
Kinch eloe was mutilated be.
yond Identification. The lower
and upper jawbones were
broken, the greater part of the
flesh of the right cheek was
blown away and the region of the
left armpit was very much
lacerated. The left chest wall
was severed between the third
and fourth ribs, the left lung
was perforated, the left arm was
torn off at the elbow joint, the
left thigh was broken at the
middle third, the two shinbones
of the right leg were broken at
the lower third, the soft parts of
the right thigh and buttox were
torn and burned and there was
a confusion on the right leg.
His clothing was torn from his
body, and his shoes were blown
off and hurled onto an elevation
in front of him.
Kincheloe only gasped a
few times as death was almost
instantaneous.
The accident was witnessed
by several other employees at the
ballast-works, but none of them
could tell why the box of dyna.
mite exploded as there was ap.
parently no jar or concussion
of any kindtbefore the explosion
occurred.
DR.. B. Hughes, coroner, held
an inquest ON the remains Tues.
day evening, but only one wit
ness, Dave Jones, COL, gave
testimony of any Importance,
and that was corroborated by
Willis Kitchen and Ben Harvey,
both colored.
DR.. o. B. Anderson testified
as to the nature of Kin cheloe's
injuries.
The coroner's jury, composed
of August Harms as foreman,
L. w. Hansman, Homer P.
Mitchell, B. 1. Davis, Delbert
Brewer and VIM. Lentz, after
hearing the testimony and
viewing the body, returned the
following verdict:
THE VERDICT.
"We, the jury, find that de.
, ceased came to his death by the
accidental discharge of dypa-
mite, the cause of such explo-
sion being unknown to u.s."
/ Kincheloe was about 45 years
of age, and leaves wife and
two children.

MINTER- LAMKIN We Wednesday
evening, June Z, 1905, the home
of Judge and Mrs. H. c. Minter
of Keytesville was thronged with
guests who had come to witness
the marriage ceremony Of
the hosts and hostess eldest
daug hter, Miss Annie, to Mr.. G.
F. Lamkin. AS the hands of
the clock drew near to $3.50 the
sweet resonance of the song. SO,
Promise Me-" enchantingly sung
by Miss Jessie Wayland of Sails
bury, flo ated through the house.
A hush fell upon those assem-
bled, and the song died away to
give place to the solemn notes
of Mendelsshon's wedding
march, also played by Miss
Jessie Wayland. The tiny little
flower girls, Misses Emma Hill
Dempsey and Huldah Taylor,
strewed the pathway of the bride
with rose leaves. All eyes were
hxed upon the bride as she ap.
peared in the doorway fair
vision leaning upon the arm of
her father. She was robed in
white,. the flowing bridal veil
fastened to the crown of orange.
blossoms shading her face.
The brides dress was of white
net over silk, trimmed in real
lace and her ornaments were a
pearl filigree brooch,a gift fro m
the bridegroom's mother, and
worn when she was a bride; and
a diamond crescent, a gift from
the bridegroom. She carried a
boquet of BRIDES roses. The
bride was attended by her sister,
Miss Gussie Minter, who was
charming supplement in white
point esprit, carrying boquet
of bridesmaids roses. The
bridegroom's best man was his
brother, Fuel Lamkin, of
Clinton, Mo. The ceremony,
pronounced by Rev. R. B. Barks
of Centralia, was very i'm
pressive. When the ring had
been slipped upon the finger of
the bride and the minister had
said:
"What therefore God hath join
ed together, let not man put asun-
der, there was rush Of copgrat-
tions. No one, however, was
fortunate enough to gain the
brides first skiss in advance of
the newly made husband. The
house was beautifully decorated
in red roses and white carnations
and the refreshments served car
ried out the same colors. The
handsome display of presents
was bewildering. The large
numberEof cutglass and silver
piec es dazzled the eyes.
