SEVENTY-FIVE FOOT
PLUNGE TO DEATH
Lumber King Van Dyke and
His Chauffeur Are Killed

Turner's Falls, Mass, Aug. "a
plunge over a bank of rock seventy
five feet high into the Connecticut river
of an automobile in which George Van
Dyke, aged GA, of Lancaster, N. H. i,
and his chauffeur, Frederick b.
Hodgdon, aged 80, were riding, re-
suited fatally for the two men, both
dying from the injuries which they re-
ceived.
Van Dyke, who is known as THE
Lumber King of New England" has
been in this vicinity directing the
work of running logs down the river
and in order to get better view of
the work he had his automobile driven
to the top of high bank on the
Riverside shore, just opposite here.
The bank is of solid rock and takes
an abrupt drop to the waters edge.
When starting to return to camp 1t
is thought Hodgdon touched the wrong
lever en- the machine and instead of
backing away from the edge of the
bank, as intended, the automobile
started forward and plunged directly
over the bank to the rocks below.
Van Dyke was unmarried.

CRAZED BY HEAT
One Man Impersonates Ape; Another
Thinks He is Santa Claus

New York, Aug. 9.-The heat and
the high humidity moved two citizens
Of Staten Island to exhibitions of &C.
centricity that called out the police
and the fire department..
Anton Civotz, SO years old, climbed
high tree and hung swaying from the
topmost branches ehattering like an
ape. Threats to shoot from the police
and to chop down the tree falling,
and thorough drenching from fire
hose being apparently regarded by the
tree dweller as part of the entertain
ment, the firemen were finally COM
PEELED to run up sixty foot extern
sion ladder and snare their man from
his perilous perch with lasso. He
fought actively.
Ole Anderson, 81 years old, becom-
ing possessed of the idea that he was a
midsummer Santa Claus, peeled off
all his clothes, climbed to the ridge
pole of his three story house and tried
to jam himself down the chimney.
The firemen caught him alive
Both men were watched for an in
vestigation of their sanity.

SWEDISH STRIKE

Stockholm, Aug. 10.-The streets
of Stockholm present a livelier as
pect than on any day since the general
strike began. Many carts and street
cars are plying their trade, despite
the threats of the strikers that they
would stop all traffic.
The gas and electric plants are
working without interruption and it
seems doubtful whether the employees
of the railroads will join the move
ment. Many of the workmen are dis
satisfied with the speeches and the
methods employed by their leaders in
carrying on the strike. In many
cases the men are refusing to obey
the order to go out. In any case, the
strike fund is not strong enough to
support the movement longer than a

SERVICES ONCE A YEAR
Ancient Rites Performed by Remnant
of Once Powerful Narragansetts

Charlestown, R. L., Aug. 9.-The
annual custom, long maintained, of
assembling in the old Indian meeting
house here for service and prayer /,
was fulfilled Sunday by the few re-
naming members of the depleted
Narragansett tribes of Indians, resi-
dents of this state.
The little group in the church was
much smaller than in other years,
when tribal members from New York,
Connecticut and Long Island came re-
ligiously to carry out the rites of their
honored fathers.
The little church is opened but once
year. Two services were held. At
each of the gatherings the ancient and
peculiar rites which have been hand
ed down from past generations of
warriors were observed. Although
lacking the raiment of their forefath
ers, these latter day members of the
tribe retain their impressiveness even
to the smallest detail.

HARD PRESSED
BY BIG POSSE
Pascal Found All Avenues Of
Escape Gut OFF
MURDERER TAKES OWN LIFE

His Body, With Top of Head Shat
tered by Rifle Bullet, Found In Pas
+ure Near Scene of Crime-Had
Been Hunted Since Last Tuesday,
When He Shot and Beat Aged
Farmer to Death
Hardwick, VT, Aug. Sine
search for Joseph Pascal, the slayer
of Charles Perkins, ended Sunday
when his body, with bullet wound IN
the head, was found in pasture not
FAR from the scene of the crime IN
South Walden. A rife lay beside
the body, indicating suicide.
It is believed that the fugitive for
whom a hundred men and boys nave
been searching the woods and guard
ing the highways remained concealed
near the Perkins house, and hndlng
that all avenues of escape were cut
off took his life.
The top of his skull was shattered
by the rifle bullet. The medical exam
liner thought from the condition OF
the body that Pascal had been dead
two days at least.
The death of Perkins, who was
neighbor of Pascal, occurred last
Tuesday. Pascal went to MOTIFS
vile that day and, returning under
the influence of liquor, began beat
ing his wife, who ran away from
him. Pascal then went to the house
of Perkins, thinking that his wife
had taken refuge there, and demand
ed that she be sent out to him.
Perkins, who was 70 years old, de-
MED that the woman was in his house,
whereupon Pascal smashed all the
windows in the lower part OF the
house, and climbing through one OF
them, shot Perkins and then beat him
about the head with the butt of his
rifle. Hiram Smith, a farmland, and
Mrs. Perkins made their escape from
the house when Pascal began shoot
ing.
Pascal was 35 years old. Besides
widow, he leaves six small children.
