WILD MAN IN BASEMENT
WRECKS CANNED FRUIT
Declares He Became Insane at
Time Mayor Gaynor Was
Shot in New York

POUGHKEEPSIE, Sept. 13-Walter
Pells of Wurtemburg and his family
motored to prayer meeting at Stone
church. AS the automobile reached
the house on their return and drew up
at the front porch there was a sound
of crashing glass in the cellar.
What kind of catamount has got
in the house. do you suppose? Maybe
a bear has come down off Slate Quarry
HILL" said Pells..
He started to investigate and found
man, a giant in stature, whirling
around like a dervish in the murky
gloom of the cellar. He pirouetted on
his toes and danced around the family
swing shelves, off which he lifted cans
of preserves and balanced them on his
shoulders and head. When the jars
fell off with a crash the man laughed.
He had crawled in at a window.
The wild man was left in possession
of the cellar, where he continued his
work of destruction while Pells whirled
his family off to a place of safety and
then telephoned to Sheriff Townsend
for help. Deputy Sheriffs James Ellis
worth and Moses Tremper hurried over
from Rhinebeck Before they arrived
the man had wrecked the lower part
of the house,
After theSarrival Of the officers a
conSultationSwaS neld and 1t was de-
cided that the only way to capture the
intruder was to close in on him quickly
and overpower him before he could
strike or kill some one.- The two Off
GERS with Pells and his hired man
formed a flying wedge and quickly
opening the cellar door they fefl on
the man with such force that he went
down in a heap. He fought desper-
ately, but was finally overpowered.
The man said he was Michael Sulli-
van and frankly admitted he was
crazy. He said he had lost his reason
when Mayor Gaynor was shot. He
was lodged in Jail.
There was found N his shoe a memo
randum stating that he was knocked
down and robbed by a footpad in New
York on Saturday night, mistaken for
a "scab." This would indicate it Is
believed that Sullivan had been over
in the sugar refinery district in Brook
lyn.
The authorities at the Middletown
state hospital, who were communicated
with by telephone, believe Sullivan
was former inmate of that institu-
ton. They are not certain whether
he escaped or was discharged.

WOMAN TRANSLATOR
HAS A GRIEVANCE
EngIiShWoman Sues New York
Publishers for $4,000

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-Mrs. Flor
ence Crewe-Jones, a young English
woman, translated Guy de Maupas-
SAINTS Fort Comme la Mort for
JAMES L. Perkins & Co. AS everybody
knows, there are translationS ana
translations of De Maupassant's ferYid
stories. Mrs. Crewe-Jones vows her
translation was dainty" Judge of
her susprise and indignation, which
she well describes, when she found her
"Strong as Death" published by Per-
kins & Co. in a volume with other
translations of de Maupassants tales.
which horrify her. but which are
ascribed to her.
Mrs. Crewe- Jones considers that the
publication of this volume has severely
injured her reputation as translator
and otherwise. So she had papers in
a suit for $4,000 damages served on
James Lamont Perkins of the publish
ing firm. In the language of her COM
plant:
aforesaid translations are unskill-
fully made, and are an unscholarly
production of inferior literature, and
of a quality which is not such as TO
reflect credit upon the translator"
Mrs. Crewe-Jones said Mr.. Perkins
first engaged her as assistant editor
at salary of SIS a week to get out
an edition OF Shakespeare. Inc WoIh
was not to her liking. Then he asked
her to translate de Maupassant for
him.
"I have the reputation of being one
of the incest and most scholarly trans
lators of French in this country" said
Mrs. Crewe-Jones. 1.-THE publication
of that book with my name attached
will not only injure my reputation; 1t
will prevent me from being engaged to
translate French works which are not
as-er-well, as sketchy as De Maui
PEASANTS.
"And to think / took only $3.50 for
the work, Just for the advertisement
of having my name appear on such a
nice book, when my usual price is $3.50.
Moreover Mr. Perkins knew that I
needed the money at that time"
Mr.. Perkins said he had no state
ment to make.

"What's the matter" asked the doc

"No, it's artificial" said Clayton.
"Sorry," said the physician, as he
dismissed the policeman and patient.
"I can do nothing for him. He will
have to visit a carpenter shop"
CLAYTON was carried to central sta

DESERT BULLS BROUGHT
FOR ROBLES EXHIBITION.
Semi-Wild Herds Searched for
Animals Which Will Make
Dodging Show a Success

-Four bulls have been brought in from
the Mojave desert for the exhibition
which will be given by Enrique Robles
at Schutzen park Friday, September
16, as part of the celebration of the
centennial of Mexicos independence.
The four bulls now at Schutzen park
are the most ferocious which could be
found among the semi-wild herds
which roam the scanty desert pastures
and Senior Robles is satisfied that they
will be of such temper that they will
give him an opportunity to fully dis
play his agility, acquired in the bull
rings of Spain.
Senior Robes is a veteran of the bull
fighting game, and many bulls have
felt the unerripg thrust of his sword.
But when Senior Robles faces the
charging bulls at Schutzen park he
will do so without his sword. This
time he will merely have his waving
cloak of cardinal to protect him from
the charges of the maddened animals,
as the Humane society will not allow
the bulls to be harmed in any way.
BY Haunting his cloak of red before
the bull, allowing the animal to charge
it while he with agility sidesteps and
allows the cloak's folds to flap tam
talizingly in the face of the maddened
brute, Robles expects to give his au-
dience a very good imitation of the
real battles fought in Spain.
When one bull tires he will be rushed
out Of the ring and substituted by an
other 1t is the intention to use all
the bulls in the afternoons exhibition.

HEIRS TO MILLIONS HUNT
BIG GAME IN WYOMING

OMAHA, Sept 1S. - Twenty-Five
young men, all sons of New York,
Boston and Philadelphia mililonaires,
heirs to enough wealth to pay off the
national debt, arrived In Omaha this
afternoon, having come from the Big
Horn mountains in the wilds of Wyo-
ming, where they spent their vaca-
tionS.
Out In the wilderness they were pi-
loted for thirty days by Charles Moore,
frontiersman of Washitie, Wyo.,
who is the great bear hunter of the
state The gilded striplings have put
in the summer roughing it.. They left
tonight in special car.
In getting big game they were not
fortunate. They shot a number of
deer and elk, but failed to secure a
bear or a mountain lion. New York
was represented by Louis and Harold
Earle, Wallace Chauncey, Halle Roose-
welt, George w. Young, jr., and Tyler
Bronson.

PLENTY OF GAME
At SC0TT'S CAMP
Deer Are Easier to Locate Than
Earlier in the Season.
Fish in River

Hunters are reporting plenty Of
game and plenty Of spoils during the
final hot spell of the season. and the
deer have been brought in with more
regularity than during the earlier por-
ton of the season.
Near the headquarters Of the San
Gabriel many of the late season MINI
rods are finding their desired prong
wearers, and 1t is now much easier to
track the animals, as they are COM
PEELED to seek the main streams for
water.
A party consisting of Hy Lingenfet-
ter and Henry Long set out from
Scott's camp and followed the stream
in its windings toward the Sierra
Madre range. Within three miles of
camp they came on the object Of their
search and the buck fell from a bullet
from Iingenfetter's rifle.
Guests at the camp who prefer to
follow the pleasures of Izaak Walton
have returned with tales of the coyeted
prizes rowing around the fishing camps,
and few of the hunters have been dis
appointed.

Norton Ripley, wife of the organist
of the Second Baptist church of Chi

Rockford with two brothers and three
sisters from whom she was separated

family of six children left motherless
and fatherless by the death of their
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen ].

year ago.
Dr. Rogers swore Miss Williams to
secrecy regarding the disposition of the
baby and this secret Miss Williams
carried with her to the grave. 1t was
not until after the death of her foster
parents that Mrs. Ripley gained the
first clew to her identity. In going
through the effects of DR.. Rogers she
found a baby picture which resembled
her, and on its back an inscription
Miss Sarah Williams, Rockford, Ill"
Through this she finally found her
brothers and sisters.
MPs. Katherine Snow, nurse at the
Broughton sanitarium, Rockford, had
been indefatigable in seeking out her
baby sister, and was overjoyed at meet
ing her. Steve Smith, transportation
manager of a circus, is brother. Mrs.
Ripley said that often during hours
of childhood play the name "Steve"

sound at all times. but it was not
until her arrival in Rockford that she
realized the reason therefor-that 1t
was the name of her "big brother"

CHICAGO SCHOOL BOOKS
TO WARN AGAINST EVILS
Boys to Be Taught Danger from
Firearms

CHICAGO, Sept. 13.-If you would
have your children know how to get
on and off q street car, if you would
impress upon them the dangers of fool
ing with firearms, and pound into them
the evils of tobacco and liquor, just
send them to the Chicago public
schools.
Not content with deciding to teach
girls how to become practical plumbers,
the school authorities now plan to go
still further. Among the text books
that will be put into use the coming
term are several devoted to teaching
what every boy and every girl should
know"
boy, gun,
Joy, fun,
Gun bust,
Boy dust"
Verses like the above, and others of
a similar nature will enliven the pages
of some of the books, and these verses
are supposed to impress on the youth
full mind the danger of playing with
firearms
Other verses will warn the danger
of "hitching on to passing vehicles,
and of the menace to life In trying to
get on or off moving street car, un-
less the feat is performed in the proper
way.
Pictures also will be used to press
the warnings home. For instance,
there will be pictures of women get
ting off of street cars backward and
sent tumbling into the dust, and pic
lures of small, stunted chickens side
by side with large, healthy, robust
fowls. The caption under these pic
lures will be:
"The smaller fowls were given doses
of alcohol"
Tobacco chewers come in for an at
tack. and the readers of the books are
asked to induce their fathers to take
them to a place where users of the
weed congregate, in order that they
NAV see for themselves the untidiness
of such people.
Small boys who crush or burn their
fingers are told they must not cry un-
dor anv circumstances, because If they
do they will not be real heroes"
