Miss Croker declares that she IS
cousin Of Anna Gould-Castellaine, and
u a confidential way asserts that she
stole one Of the latter's children and

At her trial she said she had been
married to three different men but
,he had never lived with any of them
very long. One Of these men, she
said, she had married twice. This
man she imagines to be very wealthy.
He has a four million dollar farm
up near Sedgwick," said she, "and
he has three automobiles. -
When corrected and told that she
had said that the man only had two
automobiles she became quite conf

Miss Croker is thirty-eight years
old and it is not known whether she
has any relatives or not. She has
been at work in this city for some
time and until recently she was an
excellent house servant. A few
weeks ago she commenced to imagine
things and talked about them until
she annoyed all who came in contact
with her. Several days ago she was
discharged from the place, but she re-
fused to accept the discharge, and il
was finally necessary to ask the au.
thorities to take charge Of her. The
cause Of her mental trouble is not
known.

1 stood UP and looked through one Of the three
open doors OF the shield. Beyond was an open
space. carved out OF the black mud of the river
bottom. Two men with small shOvels were
digging out the soft black material above, while
below were two other men drilling rock. for at
this point the tunnel to pass through ma
terial half mud and half rock. l stepped through
one of the doors into the small space beyond
the shield. and gasped little as I thought Of
the fOrty-five feet of mud and forty feet OF
water above me. I reached out and broke or

and clean. 1 realized the value OF the COM
pressed air now. 1t was the bar between 4he
men and death. Without It everything would
be flooded; with it everything was pressed dry,
even the mud.

was standing in front Of me near the shield ar
ranging timbers to help keep the mud back.
He was doing this work when a hole appeared
in a big patch OF mud in the roof above him.
In moment more the compressed air would
have torn its way up to the water. possibly car
rying the man with it, as actually happened On
another tunnel few months ago. He recog-
nized the danger. and knew that quick work
was necessary to save himself and the other
wOrkmen. as we'll as part OF the tunnel He
tore of his shirt and rammed Il into the hole.
His hat, his trousers and his underwear followed
it. Then he pushed his naked back up into the
hole and shouted like madman for help. The
other workmen responded with small bags Of
mud, which they thrust up into the opening.
Their efforts were successful The hole was
effectively stopped. The young fellow who had
worked heroicalIy went OF duty for three
hours. and then returned to resume his toll.

formed the tube of the tunnel Each ring. dis
