WHITE RATS SURROUND
WOMAN AFTER EVICTION
Owner of Imported Animals Pro-
tects Pets with Police Help

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 11.-While nearly
500 white rats squeaked in their open
cages and played about her feet, Miss
M. c. Metzger, owner of the animals,
who had just been evicted from her
home, patrolled the sidewalk late this
afternoon, and with the assistance of
two patrolmen protected her pets from
neighboring dogs, cats and boys.
The rats are of imported strains, ac-
cording to Miss Metzger. Most of them
are Japanese animals and some are OF
the Chinese variety. All are pure white
except the Chinese, which have broad
black stripe down the middle of their
backs.
The animals are in demand from
medical students and colleges, says the
owner of the rat farm, and she has a
contract calling for the delivery of 300
this fall.

HAYSTACK BLOWN THROUGH
AIR DURING WIND STORM

WASHINGTON, Pa, Aug. 11.-Dur-
ing a heavy windstorm near Indepen-
dence this afternoon a haystack weigh
ing about a ton and anchored with
heavy rails on the farm of William
Mcconnell was lifted 200 feet in the air.
Varying currents at that height

rails fell about 100 feet from where the
stack had been located, but some of
the hay was distributed over adjoining
farms.
A large sycamore tree was turned
around and stripped of it's foliage,
while cattle huddled together in fear.
Mrs. Mcconnell fled toward a neigh
boris house, but returned when sum-
moned by her husband, who assured
her that everything would be all right.

Elderly Swain Amuses Friends at
Wedding Hour

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-After court
ing Miss Margaret Mcconnell thirty
years, Nathan B. Hallett, a retired
druggist of Dobbs Ferry, N. Y, got
her to set the wedding for 4:S0 o'clock
few days ago. But it did not take
place till an hour afterward, because
the eager swain had forgotten to get
license
After he had remedied that omission
the ceremony was performed in the
presence of few friends in the Dobbs
Ferry Presbyterian church by the Rev.
r. M. Berkley.
Hallett now lives in Cameron, N. z,
and he and his bride will reside there
after a honeymoon among the Great
Lakes. Miss Mcconnell met Hallett
thirty years ago when he was studying
medicine in New York, and they fell in
love. They had kept up their courtship
ever since in a mild way. After all
these years of waiting friends thought
it a great joke when the lack of a Ii
cense caused further delay.

CALIFORNIA MEN BUY
THE WEDEKIND NINE

RENO, Feb. 12.-The famous
Wedekind mine, east of Reno a few
miles, which made George Wede-
kind and his family rich and nearly
broke the late Governor Sparks, is
to be reopened. A number of Cal
ifornia capitalists have inspected
the mine, and it is said that they
have negotiated for the purchase OF
the big mill and cyanide plant
which were Duilt by Governor
Sparks shortly after he bought the
property.
The mine was discovered by
George Wedekind one day when he
was plowing in his field. He took
fortune in silver ore from the
property and then sold it to Gov
ernor Sparks. Shortly after the
sale the water came into the mine
in great volume, and the ore be-
came of so low grade that Governor
Sparks closed the property down.

AN OLD INDIAN
Chief GREETS The
GREAT SPIRIT

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. H.
John Shiahud, an Indian who as
serted he was more than 100 years
of age, and who was almost lynch
ed by white pioneers 63 years ago,
died at Port Madison, Washington,
yesterday.
The body of a white man was
found in 1847 at the foot of Lake
Union in what is now Seattle, and
the settlers ascribed the death to
murder by Indians. Shiahud and
another Indian, falling under suspi-
cion, were captured by the settlers
and were about to be lynched when
the sheriff and a posse rescued
them. Upon trial the Indians
proved their innocence. Shiahuc
was ever afterwards known as Lake
Union John and became a promi
nent figure in the village of Seattle
whose growth made fortune TO-
him through land sale.

SCANDAL WILL
Be INVESTIGATED
BY REPUBLICANS
BY Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-President
Taft sitting for an hour and a half
in conference today with the re-
publican state leaders said but lit
tie, but heard much concerning the
latest scandal of the Allds-Conger
bribery case at Albany, and on de-
parting confided to his intimates
that the situation looks very bad. .
The president thus passivelf, at
least, waded into the troublous
whirlpool of New York state repub-
lican politics which were brought
to an acute stage of late by
charges of bribery by one state
senator against another. The con
ference was held at the residence oi
Lloyd Griscom, former ambassador
to Italy and recently elected presi
dent of the New York republican
county committee. The discussion
was centered almost solely on the
Allds-Conger case involving two
leading proposals, whether the par
ty should investigate to the limi
or if possible to smother it. thu
concensus of opinion appeared to bt
to probe to the bottom, regardless
of results.
