ENGINEER DRIVEN INSANE.
Fatal Accident Responsible For A
Mans Loss OF Mind.

Wilkes Barre. Pa. Especially. -
Brooding over an accident in which
his fireman was killed and holding
himself to blame for the fatality,
John Bonavitch, of Kingston, one OF
the best-known engineers on the Del
ware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad, was committed to the in
sane asylum at Danville.
Bonayitch had charge of switch
engine in the yards at Washington,
N. j. About month ago his engine
collided with another in the yard
and James HUT, of Newton, N. j.,
who was Bonavitch's fireman, was SO
badly injured that he died the next
day.
The accident. and especially the
death of his fireman, so preyed upon
the mind of the engineer that he fed
from Washington and nothing was
heard of him until a week ago, when
he appeared here at his home a raw
ing maniac.

BOY MURDERED AND
HTS BODY MUTILATED
Tuffa Shiss'eiu is Victim Of An
AtrociOus Crime.

Chicago (Special) r Following the
identification of the mutilated body
of boy sound in Mud Lake and adj
jacent ponds and waterways as that
of Taffa Shishein, a Syrian, the po-
lice arrested Joseph Hasson on sus-
picion of his being the murderer of
the boy. Hasson was arrested at 102
Mather Street In his room the po-
lice found a blood stained garment,
several blood-stained saws and an
ak. The body gave every indication
of having been dismembered with
such instruments.

CHUNG TO PREC.PlCE.
Boy 600 Feet High Unable To Get
Up Or Down.


Los Angeles, CAL Especially. - A
wireless message from Avalon. Cata-
lima Islands. reports the rescue Of
Irving Spalding, aged 10, son of A.
F. Spalding, of Springfield, H.. from
precipice 900 feet above the sea
where he had spent the day in peril
Of his life. The youth disappeared
from the hotel early in the morning.
He went to explore the island and
climbed the sheer face of the cliff,
$50 feet high, as far as he could go,
and got within 100 feet of the top.
Spalding found 1t impossible to
get down and shouted for help, but
failed to make anyone hear. He
could not sit down, and the slightest
misstep would have sent him to in
slant death on the rocks below. His
father, as night was approaching, or
ganized a searching party. After an
hours search, they located the boy,
weak with fear. The problem of how
to rescue him was solved at last
by the discovery of path leading
SO feet down from the top. A rope
was lowered to the youth and he was
dragged in safety to the top of the
cliff. Aside from the nervous shock,
weakness, hunger and terror, the boy
is all right.
