THE GREAT LOG JAM.

One OF the most striking coinci-
dents of two writers recording the
same event in almost identically the
same way. is to be found in Stewart
Edward Whites description of the
breaking of n log jam in his "Blaz-
ed Trail stories and in the reproduc-
ton of a similar scene in "Yon Yon-
son" which will be seen here Wednes-
day night The only difference in
the two descrir is what White
painted his picture in vigorous words,
while in "Yon Yonson" the scene is
even more thr!llingly shown in ac-
lion. The following is Whites des-
cription: Without the slightest

No one would accuse writer of
the standing of Stewart Edward
White of plagiarizing. and as "Yon
Yonson" has been popular play for
many more years than White has
been writing, the only explanation
of the coincidence is that both the
scenes are true to nature.

POISONED DRINKING WATER
Woman Put Paris Green In Well For
"DevlIment."

Baltimore, Oct. 17.-Detectives are
Engaged in investigating the alleged
attempt of somebody to poison the
family of E. Stanley Gary. at Clear.
field. Baltimore county, by putting
paris green into the drinking water
we'll. Mr.. Gary is the only son Of
former Postmaster General James A.
Gary and is a prominent business man
Of this city. The poison was diacov-
cred by the gardener when he drew a
bucket of water. He noticed that the
surface was covered with greenish
substance, which proved to be paris
green. Mr.. Gary and the gardener
made an investigation and found that
about pound of the stuff had been
taken from the tool house and thrown
into the spring.
Later it was learned that Mrs. Will
liam Dengert, the wife of the gar
dener. had admitted putting the paris
green in the well. Her purpose it was
said was to revenge herself upon an
other servant kith whom she had
some trouble by having the blame put
upon that person.
Several circumstances connected
with the case seem to bear out this
theory. although the woman herself
declared to the detectives that she
did it for devilment" Mr. Gary and
the police believe the act was the re
suit of dementia- Mrs. Bengert is said
to have shown evidences of an unbal.
anced mind recently.
