Goes Over Niagara In Barrel.

Niagara Falls. N. Y.-The Horse
shoe falls were successfully navigated
by Bobby" Leach in a barrel. On
the trip he received only superficial
injuries. Only once before has the
trip been made and then by Mrs.
Anna Edison Taylor Of this city, Oc-
tober 21, 1901.
Leach, who had been thresepned
with arrest by the police of both the
Niagara Falls cities. made his start
from La Sale. river village two
miles above the cataract. He was
towed into the stream by river men
to point off Chippawa, on the Ca
madam side Of the river, less than a
mile above the brink. There he en-
tered the barrel and was cast adrift
to the mercy of the upper rapids and
the cataract.
In the rapids the barrel was tum-
bled and tossed.
Within less than a minute the
strange craft was seen bobbing in the
spume of the cataract. The river was
unusually high ana the barrel was
shot into the stream. It's progress
was arrested, however, by an eddy. in
which the cask spun for several min
utes until Frank Bender. a young river
man. swan out with rope and Sc
cured it.
Rappings were heard from the in.
side of the barrel. 1t was known that
the Englishman was alive and the
cask was quickly opened. With se-
we're cut over the left ear. Leach,
standing in the barrel. waved his hand
to the crowd on the banks.

Chicago.-M. Hussain, Hindue fan
attic, armed with magazine rifle OF
the army pattern, calmly stood at the
corner of the Chicago opera house
block, across from the city hall, in
the heart of the city, and fired into
the thronged streets, shooting six per-
sons.
In the midst of the panic, F. P.
Lowder, a reporter for the Record
Herald, of slight build, at whom the
maniac had fired one shot, sprang
upon him and pinioned his arms until
the police overpowered him.
Hussain gave the police terrific
fight before he was subdued. He
dubbed them with his gun and clawed
and bit furiously. He was not sub
dued until he was made almost sense
less. Five policemen struggled with
him.
At the police station Hussain raved
about his determination to slay 10000
persons, including President Taft and
other dignitaries, and said he had Just
commenced his mission when inter-
fered with. One of the letters found
in his clothing was addressed to Presi-
dent Taft, whom he addressed as MY
dear deaf and dumb and dead Taft"
and informing the chief executive that
he had been marked for slaughter.
When the prisoner was searched in
coherent letters, one addressed to the
British consul and the other to His
Excellency, President Taft" were
found in his pocket. The one to the
consul said:
Americans are a lot of robbers. l
am going to do something to fix them.
They don't give the British subjects
chance to make a living"
Another letter said that Taft was
unfair with British subjects and de-
clared the writer was going to take
the law into his own hands.
When taken to the central detec-
tive bureau Hussain talked ram bling
ly of this ID United States;"
Of gossiping persons in Chicago who
had made Misrepresentation affect
ing his honor. He said he was 35
years old, an iron molder, had come
to Chicago from Verona, Pa, six
months ago; had lived in the United
States for five years.
Late in the afternoon DR.. George
Joseph Spencer. city physician, pro-
nounced Hussain paranoiac. who had
been transported into a cool, fiendish
state of insanity "by continuous
brooding over systematized delusion
of persecution"
