Curious instance Of Tsiepathy De-

John Muir, In his book, My First
Summer in the Si~erras," relates 4 cu-
Irfpus instance OF telepathy. he spent
the GUNNER OF 1850 IN the beautiful
wilderness around the Yosemite valley.
Zone day he was busily skstching On
the North Dome, when suddenly he

ais friend Professor J. d. Butler of
the University OF Wisconsin was be-
low him in the valley. He jumped up,
full OF the idea of meeting him, being
almost as much startled as IL some
one had unexpectedly touched him and
made him look up. Instantly he went
running down the slope and along tho
brink OF the valley. looking for a way
to the bottom, feeling drawn irresisti-
bly,.
Gradually his common ems o.
WINGED him that he could not possibly
reach the hotel until after everybody
would be asleep for the night. He
therefore compelled himself to stop,
but the next day he went into the
valley and found that Professor But
Ter had arrived the evening before,
unexpected by anybody. He had been
four or five miles distant at the mo
ment when Mr.. Muir was so suddenly
appraised Of bis presence.
"He had just entered the valley by
way of the Coulteryille trail,p says
the author. "and was coming past Ell

AWINO STORM IN RUBY VALLEY

Did you who accompany your

the excitement anu trepidation
which a sudden and furious wind

weeks or mtnths or years is some
time brought to naught in q single

Las ANGELES
DYNAMITERS CIUGHT

| Tho arrest Of John ]. McNamara
Secretary Of the Structural Iron
Workers Of America and his
brother. James w. and Ortie E.
Mechanical for dynamiting the Los
Angeles Times building on October
l. 1910, is triumph Of detective
skill'oVer criminal cunning. John
}. Mcnamara was arrested in
Indianapolis Saturday while attend
ing meeting Of the executive
board of the order and his brother
and McMangal were arrested on the
18th of this month at Detroit whre
they had evidently gone for the
purpose Of blowing up four rail.
road bridges. A suit case they
had checked at the Oxford hotel,
DetroI, contained enough dynamit-
ing machinery to have destroyed
the city. u There were twelve of
tneSSmecfianical batteries with
alarm clocks attachment, identi cal
to the one found in Los Angeles
which failed to explode. Similar
machines had also been found at
Kansas City and at Peoria, Illinois,
where dynamite explosions had
taken place. Those in the suit
case had fuse and caps attached
ready for use.
In a small valise they had
checked, we're found a Savage
automatic pistol, a SO automatic
Colt and Touchdown Winchester
wi tn an automatic silencer of the
M AKIN type. The Maxim silencer
was tOS deaden the sound when
they found it necessary to pick off
a Waterman as they have in several
ins ances.
In the basement of the building
in Indianapolis IN which the union
offices are situated. were found
81 sticks (about so pounis) of
dynamite, 200 feet of fuse. SEQ
dynamite caps. one dozen small
alarm clocks. and leather case
made to carry a ten pound can Of
nitro.glycerine. In a barn near
Indianapolis. rented by j. J. Nc
Namara. were found II sticks Of
dynamite and two quart CAM of
nitro-glycerine. This stuff the
owner of the barn says was placed
there last January by John Nc
Mama ara.
These men were hunted down by
Detective William J. Burns who has
been on their track for months
and whose men have watched their
every move. From the published
accounts there seems to be no doubt
that the men responsible for the
Los Angeles horror ard other
similar crimes throughout the
country have been caught.
If after a fair trial they have
been found guilty of the crime at
Los Angeles let us hope that the
laws delay will not save them from
speedy punishment. If others are
involved the crime, may speedy
justie oVertake them. The world
will be better when all directly or
remotely, connec.ed with the Los
Angeles crime are sent to their
long rest.
