BELIEVES THAT MRS,
GUINNESS IS LIVING
Laporte Resident Writes to
Charles Ladd.

Charles Way. OF Laporte, Ind. a
cousin of Charles Ladd. republican
nominee for prosecuting attorney. has
written a letter to NJ. Ladd in which
he states the impression prevails
among Laporte citizens that Ray Lam
phere is not guilty of setting fire to
the Guinness home and causing the
death of Mrs. Guinness. Way says the
LapOrte poDulace does not think Mrs.
Guinness dead. Mr.. Way was we'll &C
quainted with the woman and knew
her personally. He says she carried
her money IL a belt about her waist.
He states that much Of the printed
matter about the cose is false and
misleading. 1t is believed at Laporte
that the teeth plates found in the
ruins are not those Of Mrs. Guinness
or if they are they we're put there by
friends to throw searchers off the
track and make them believe in her
death.

THE ENCHANTED MESA

Story Of Great Disaster Which Wiped
Out the Population.
The story OF the enchanted mesa
was but a tradition when in 1541 the
Spaniards FIRST visited the pueblo of
Acoma, in what Ia now Valencia coun-
~. n. 81. Powerful tribes inhabited
the region. These tribes or nations,
were constantly ut war with each 9TH
err. which accounts for the fortified
character OF the villages OF the ma
tives. The QUERIES, whose descend
ants now occupy Acoma. held this re-
gion and dwelt In small fortified towns.
the capital OF which was Acorna. 10
was not. however. the Aeoma OF today.
but city perched upon the top OF the
great rock now called Mesa Encan-
tada. 1t was the magnificent city OF
the nation. and, there dwelt the great
men of the tribe, together with their
families.
The rock then. as now, was unscal-
able, save at the one point where q
narrow and PERCEPTIONS tran led up
the dizzy height While not the-nost
convenient dwelling place. for neither
water nor vegetation was to Be found
upon the summit It was, safe frem|
the attacks of foes. One man the
top of the trail could defend. the city
against the warriors Of the entire<wsst.
One day, while a large number of tbs
inhabitants were at work In the fields
on the plain below or attending to the
affairs of the tribe iuSthe vayiolansfgh-
boring villages, something within the
rock or IN the earth beneathstt avuks
to life and motion. There vase hsar-l
ing, a squirming and a shfvsxing OF
the great rock, and, with q mighty
noise, It parted In tvains and q pordou
fell In fragments to tho plain below.
Such persons as were carried down
ia the debris were crushed to death A
worse fate remained for those left
prisoners on the top Of the mesa, -for
that which fell carried away the oar-
row trail, the only means OF ascent
and descent The stranded ones per-
ished from thirst and starvation. Tbs
present Acoma family are therdsscend-
ants of disaster. Ethnologists who vis-
tied the top of the rock some years ago
found unmistakable evidences that 10
had once been the site OF habitaton-
The story OF the disaster had previous
to that time been dlscredited and con-
sidered but an idle Indian legend The
discovery Of the ancient ruins, how
ever. seemed confrmatory OF the tale.
and 1t has since been credited.-Denr

Big Tips For Little Favors.

at is surprising" said a veteran
Pullman porter, how big tip por-
ter sometimes gets for doing a very
little thing" He added:
"A passenger once tipped me extra
because he said l did not leave his
shoestrings coiled up inside his shoes
after l had BACKED them. He said
nothing made him madden than to slip
on his shoes in 4 hurry in a sleeper
only to find that he had TO take them
off again because the shoestrings were
inside. Ever since that time l have
been careful not to leave shoestrings
inside OF the shoes l black. and more
than one passenger has thanked me fol
being thoughtful. But it wasn't me
that did the thinking The tip did that
for me, and l never forgot it."-Les

nothing has occurred in this city in re-
cent years to excite the general SYM

age here today. The boy came in the
custody OF the sheriff to attend his
mothers funeral. At present Savage
is serving a term Of imprisonment at
the Jeffersonville refOrmatory for
grand larceny. Young Savage has
many friends here who regret the cir

In the Riaht Direction.

Bishop Bloomfield was one Of the
many witty EngIishmen whose good
things have found their way into a
volume Of "reminiscences, Leaves
From the Notebooks Of Lady Dorothy
Neviu."
Bishop Bloomfield was led into a con.
troversy one time with a learned man
as TO the mental superiority Of the
east over the west. and his opponent
as q parting shot said:
Well. at any rate. you cant dispute
that the wise men came from the
east"
Surely that was the wisest thing
they could do" retorted the bishop.

CIDED TO INTEREST FIT. WAYNE
PEOPLE IN SIMILAR PROJECT.

Mrs. NJ. +. Johnston. president of
the Richmond Art association has re
turned from Muncie, where the local
exhibit for this year is now on exhi-
bition. She states that Muncie people
are highly pleased with the exhibition
and it is being attended by hundreds
of people
This exhibition is of an unusually
high standard and it is quite probable
that the exhibit will be an annual
event in Muncie as it is in this city
Mrs. Johnston states that there was a
delegation of Ft. Wayne people at
Muncie yesterday and they are so
highly pleased that they informed Mrs.
Johnston that they would make an eff
fort to have the exhibit brought to Fl
Wayne.
Mrs. Johnson says that the pictures
can be sent to FIT. Wayne if the people
there so desire. BY arranging a circuit
composed of Richmond, Muncie and
Fl. Wayne. the art association in
each town contributing to the expense
of securing such an exhibit, it would

hibit much larger than any ever held
in this city.
People from various points in the
north central part of the state have
been attracted to Muncie and every
day the exhibit is visited by one or
more delegations. The fame Of the
Richmond art show has spread
throughout the state like the fame of
the Richmond musical festivals and
lovers of art in the gas belt are de-
lighted at the opportunity of seeing
the hundreds of beautiful canvasseS.

him, he identifies Lamphere In the

the lad has told a different story and
fixed a later time for this important
incident. When his attention was
drawn thereto the boy declined to ex-

The body of Jennie Olsen, who, &C.
cording TO the best information OBJ

wife, has been inferred in the Patton

CANAL COMPLETE BY 1915
Official Statement Based On Present
Rate of Excavating in
Zone.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 23.-The
Panama Canal will be opened Jan
uary l, 1915, according to an official
communication received yesterday
by the California Promotion Commit
tee from Joseph Buckline Bishop,
secretary of the Canal Commission.
The statement in part is as follows
"There has been excavated from
the line of the canal since the Ameri-
cans took control about 56,000,00O
cubic yards. This, at near as can
be calculated at the present time, is
about one third the entire excavation
necessary to complete the work.
GIN 1908 down to November1, near
ly 31,000,000 cubic yards were re-
moved, and the total for this year
will not be far from 37,O0O,OOO Gu
bic yards. This will bring the grand
total of American excavation to
about 60,O00,000 cubic yards. As
practically all of these will have been
accomplished within three years, the
average is between 100000 and
