SAMPLE OF MULE LUCK

BELLAIRE, O., July 30.-While
John McElroy was hauling sand in
a wagon with team of mules from
a high hill, the brake broke and
the entire outfit was precipitated
over bank 100 feet high, sheer
fall of more than 100 feet. The
mules, wagon and driver, after
turning over times, almost in mid
air, landed in heap at the foot OF
the cliff of rocks In the mud.
Neither man nor animals were in
jured seriously. The mules began
eating weeds as if nothing had hap
pened.

TAlLENDERs WIN ONE

The Canadians travel all around
the circuit to play the games they
cannot have in their own country
on Sunday. Yesterday their post
poned Sunday game was played in
TtRama and drew large crowd.
PERHAPS the environment, the spirit
of Tacoma, had something to do
with it, but they won, defeating the
Butte Miners 8 to 5. Not an error
was made by any Of them.
Samuels was twirling for Butte
and the way the Canucks sat upon
him is enough to kill his ambition
to rise in the baseball profession
and have his name writ alongside
the great pitchers.

MRS. MAMIE LONC--MYSTERY
Special Correspondence to The Prssa

Special Correspondence to The rrssa
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 30.--Who
was Mrs. Mamie Long? Whence
came she? Was this her true name!
What object had she in concealing
all knowledge of her antecedents?
These are questions over which
a goodly portion of st. Louis So
ciety is puzzling, and over which II
has been puzzling since July s.,
when Mrs. Long died suddenly Of
heart trouble at the fashionable
Monticello hotel, opposite the main
entrance to Forest park.
These are questions, too, over
which Public Administrator Harry
Troll is puzzling, for he is endeav-
oring to find the heir or heirs to
her estate, If any. Otherwise 1t will
be taken possession of by the city.
The only person who knew all or
much about the personal history OF
Mrs. Long was her attorney, VIM.
Taussig, and he has been dead for
several month.
When she came to st, Louis her
striking personal appearance and
generous display of wealth soon
won her place In society.
Nobody ever questioned her right
to a place among the socially elect.
Her intelligence was of the highest.
her manner the most refined, her
conduct above reproach.
Society never asked her for her
credentials, and she offered none.
Her money talked for her.
Entertaining and entertained,
she was among the liveliest of the
live and very popular.
AT the Monticello 1t was observed
that she received many letters
daily. These she answered, but 1t
was also observed that she In
variably mailed the replies herself.
From the tags on her trunks it is
surmised that she spent her win
ters at Los Angeles and other Cali
fornia resorts, and her summers on
the Canadian border.
Her age, apparently. was SO
years.
On the day OF her death a mum.
Der of her friends received photo
graphs Of her by mail.
In her apartments were found 4
large trunks filled with clothing of
the finest quality. diamonds and
jewelry worth several thousand
dollars. and receipts for $1,000
worth of furs In storage, but not
one cent In money.
Diligent search by the public ad-
minlstrator has failed to bring to
light any safety deposit box or

sPOKANE'S EXAMPLE

Spokane's example in stopping
sale of liquor in disreputable
houses has been followed in Taco
ma. The only deviation there was
that the prosecuting attorneys Of

did the business heree. Eight
places were raided in Tacoma,
$1,000 worth of liquor seized and
the inmates fined $50 each.

Pvt RELIGIOUS DUTY SECOND.
otsrn Lawn Of Business Come Piest,
Says Austrian Court.

An interesting case at law. which
centered on the. observance OF an old
Jewish custom. was decided in Vienna
recently. A merchant. says the Ameri.
can Israelite. discharged clerk on &C.
count Of neglect Of duty. Among the
charges against him was that he came
to the store late in the morning be-
cause he attended service at the syna.
gogue in order to say kaddish-the
prayer for the dead-for his father
The clerk argued that 1t was his pyivi-
lege and his duty to say the prayer for
his departed father. while the mer.
chant. who was also . religious man.
maintained that IF Moses had known
that q man had to pay 5000 gulden a
year rent he would have made differ

such an argument, but decided in IA
vor OF the merchant. because the
daily attendance at the synagogue

DEER CRAZE ON COMMON.
Iowa People Indignant Because They
Can't Shoe EN- Away.

Shelby, Law. B. Cuppy. owner of
herd of 20 pet deer. made no pro-
vision when he died for the care OF
the animals. His heirs since have
permitted the deer to run at large and
to make their own living They have
multiplied rapidly and the herd now
numbers 100. II is now common
sight in Shelby to see deer grazing on
the commons and strolling leisurely
about the streets. attracting the at.
tention of strangers by their graceful
antics. But the people of Shelby and
vicinity have ceased to look with
favor upon the graceful and fleet
footed animals. They complain that
the deer raid their orchards and gar
dens in the summer and their straw
stacks in the winter.
The law forbids the killing Of the
animals and all the indignant farmers
and householders can do is to ''shoo"
them on their grounds. 1t is said to
be the purpose OF people living here
to petition the legislature either to
permit the slaughter of the animals
or to make some other disposition OF
them. as they allege that in their pres
ent protected and prolific state they
will soon overrun the country.
