THE REMARKABLE FEAT

THE REMARKABLE FEAT
IL has been many day since
there has been as much excite
ment ON Main street as there
was between 12 and 1 o'clock
today when over 800 people as
sembled ON Main street to wit
ness the strange and mysterious
search that was TO have been
carried ON, after II committee of
citizens had completed the plans,
by DIR. McIvor-TyndaII, the cele-
brated mental scientist, who has
been i'm the city for the past ten
days and who has attracted such
widespread attention. The "mys-
teIious drive had been an
noUnced several times and il
seemed that everybody who
could possibly do so was on hand
to witness the remarkable dem
Onstration of the power of mem
tai teIepathy.
When the crowd had assembled in
front of the La Harpe Hotel on Main
street committee of citizens was
selected and the following well
known people were chosen: David T.
Clark, the well known Denver sheep
man and capitalist; j. Monroe Stew
art, the real estate man; Deputy AS
SCISSOR j. A. Munson; DR.. Riley d.
Moore. DR.. Nora E. Haviland, r. H.
Skeggs, the well known realty dealer.
Mrs. Agnes Brunner. Mrs. Ida Hal
bour, Mrs. V. A. Tharp.
Several members of the committee
were locked in a room with DR.. Nc
Ivor-Tyndall while the rest of the
committee were instructed to take
on oh J., IL
anywhere within three miles of the
hotel and DR.. McIvor-Tyndall, know
ing absolutely nothing of the nature
of the article hidden, knowing MOTH
ing of the route to be taken by the
committee and knowing nothing of
the place where the article was to be
hidden, would attempt to locate the
article by the power of thought trans
mission of mental telepathy.
Mr.. Clark and two other members
of the committee then got into a car
riage, drove into a circuitous route,
hid the article. a small American
flag. and rapidly returned to the ho-
tel. DR.. McIvor-Tyndall was immed-
lately blind folded with three hand
kerchiefs before being escorted from
the locked room, was lead to the car
riage without any communication
with a single person. The doctor
was lifted into the carriage and onto
the front seat. Mr.. Clark took a seat
beside the doctor and as instructed.
concentrated his thoughts on the
route, the object hidden and the place
where the object was hidden.
1t was spirited team that was at
tacbed to the carriage and had been
handled with no little difficulty by
the driver. However, when the blind
folded man got into the seat, he
grasped the reins in one hand and
with the other hand clasped the hand
of MIR. Clark, from whom he expected
to receive through mental transmits
sion and the strange power of mental
telepathy his power of procedure,
Only DR.. Mclvor-Tyndall, to whom
the streets of the city are unfamiliar.
had hold of the reins yet the horses
seemed under the strange power that
possessed Dr. McIyor-Tyndall himself
and while they moved atNa very rapid
rate, conducted themselves in a most
orderly manner, the doctor driving
with a loose rein. As the carriage
moved from the hotel several hun
dred people tried to keep up with it.
DR.. Tyndall. blind folded. quivering
with intensity holding Mr.. Clark by
one hand, drove the spirited team up
Main to Fourth, down Fourth to
Colorado, down Colorado to Fifth,
north on Fifth to Rood up Rood to
Sixth street and down Sixth street to
the Caldwell and johnson feed store
in the rear of the Rhinehart building,
Sixth and Main, and the route the
blind folded man drove the spirited
horses was the same that the mem
bers of the committee had covered
on their trip TO hide the flag. He left
the carriage at the feed store, rushed
into the feed store, still holding Mr.
Clark's hand, went to great out bin,
dug down into the oats but two OF
three times failed 10 find any object,
presently he went deeper than at any
time before and secured the flag, the
same that the committee had hidden
DIR. McIvor-Tyndall had succeeded in
the strange and difficult feat and as
he found the little flag an enthusi
astic shout came from the crowd.
All after the blind fold drive
has been widely talked of on the
street. II is certainly a marvellous
demonstration of mental science,
There is no question but what every
thing was conducted in most legi
innate and square" manner. that the
members of the committee would not
stand for any deception, is well
known. even had DR.. Tyndall any de
sire to practice deception. 1t was a
demonstration well worth going far
to see and which gives food for a
world of thought.
