eral times shreds of cigar much torn
and raveled, have risen to the top of
the water half an hour or so after
the fish had grabbed them thus show
ing that the intelligent bass really
tried to smoke the cigar but being
handicapped by certain natural s.
advantages, contented itself by mere
ly chewing the weed.
Some of the summer hoarders, af-
ter observing Mr.. Flanagan's bass
came to the conclusion that natural
taste for tobacco might be inborn
with fish, just as il is with deer and
goats. They experimental on several
other fish, notably a number Of cat

Bartletts. N Y.-John ]. Flanna-
gan manager at Bartletts, has as
one of his proteges black bass which
uses tobacco. The fish being an in
telligcnt one, does not smoke cigar
cites. But it chews.
Mr. Flanagan got acquainted with
the habits of the bass about month
ago. The bass favorite loafing ground
is near powerhouse, Always, when
Mr.. Flanagan goes to the power house
he finngs the cigar he happens to be
smoking away so that there will be
no danger of fire.
He flung his cigar into the water
by the power house one day and the
bass made a rush for It and grabbed
it, disappearing under the water. Mr..
Flanagan thought little of that at
the time, for on certain days bass
will strike at nearly anything, while
on other days the most alluring bait
will not tempt them. A day or two
later he flung another cigar butt into
the water and the same fish rose to

GIRL SLEEPS WEEKS:
AWAKENS AT LAST

Vandalia, H., June 17.-After sew

act of ingenuity had been effective i
awakening her Hazel Schmidt open
ed her eyes, gazed calmly about her
and asked for something to eat. Then
she again dropped, off into sleep.
The awakening was without visible
effort on her part and entirely with
out the administration of medical
treatment, which has been abandoned
for many days past as being useless
Miss Schmidt is the daughter of
Alderman George Schmidt. In physi-
que and mental character she has al
ways been normal until seven weeks
mother that she was going into a
ago, when she suddenly told her
mother that, she was going into a
trance.
Shortly after this statement Miss
Schmidt dropped off into slumber
For hours the members of the fam
lily attempted to awaken her, but with
out success. Physicians were then
called in, but their ministrations
were equally futile.
Miss Schmidt slept peacefully on,
undisturbed by noise, applications of
electricity, and all the usual methods
put into use in attempting to bring
person out of a trance.
While members of the family were
sitting near her today. just seven
weeks after she began her long pc
rod of slumber, Miss Schmidt's eyes
opened and seemingly without any
surprise and without any idea of the
length of time she had been asleep
she calmly asked for her breakfast"
After partaking of only an ordinar-
lily hearty meal Miss Schmidt again
dropped off to sleep, having been
awake about an hour.
Again, during the afternoon, Mss
Schmidt opened her eyes and began
conversation with those about her
just as one does after awakening
from a night of comfortable sleep.
She remained awake only about an
hour, as in the case of her morning
awakening, and then dropped off to
sleep. At a late hour tonight she
had not reawakened but relatives,
friends and physicians now believe
that her long period of coma is near
ing its end.
Her case has proved a puzzling one
to scientists all over the country who
have heard of it and local physicians
are in daily receipt of letters from
doctors elsewhere asking particulars
regarding Miss Schmidt and her con-
dition

According to the Walla Walla Union
Mrs. Joseph Harper, wife of Coh-

car at Milton Wednesday morning,
gave out a statement last evening de-
nying that suspicion letters had been

about six weeks ago." said Mrs.
Harper, while my husband was on
his regular run. he happened TO con-
duct the car which bore Mr.. Kyle and
woman from this city to Milton.
Mrs. Kyle learned of their being to-
gether on the car and was at Milton
station imm ediately afterwards and
asked Conductor Harper who the
woman was, and was told that he had
paid little attention to them, as It
was none of his business. Mrs. Kyle
then said, I don't suppose you would
tell me if you knew whereupon ifar-
per answered that he did not believe
he would under the circumstances.
This melted Mrs. Kyle, who exclaim-
ed:
'I'll get even with you for this and
won't forget it SOON"
Conductor Harper told his wife of
the incident Immediately afterwards
and laughed in regard to same.
From theis statement it appears to
Mrs. Harper, according to her state
ment, that Mrs. Kyle was insanely
jealous of her husband. which result
ed in their divorce and her mental de-
rangement which was not strange in
view of the asserted fact that her
mother is already in the insane asy-
lum.

and will face a serious charge in the
circuit court.
Story of the Fight
There are a number of stories of
how the riot started, but the most re-
liable ones together with the testi-
mony in the police court this morning
show that the foreigners, after i'm
bibing quite freely, began quarrel.ng
among themselves and were ordered
from the saloon by Alfred Peters, the
bartender They started out it seems,
but came back, whereupon Moran
stepped up to assist the bartender,
stating that he understood the men
better.
The next Peters knew the men had
turned on the foreman, backed him
up in the corner and began hurting
cuspidors at him. Moran's son and
r. V. Bolts joined in the fight, the
former with a club and the latter with
an iron poker which ne wrested from
the hands of one of the Italians and
both dealt some telling blows.

proved his right to his bellicose ap-
pellation by knocking a half dozen
foreigners down in rapid succession.
Tom Mylin, who has had some expert
ence as a pugilist, was the next to
break into the melee and his great fists
did considerable execution until he
broke two OF the knuckles on his right
fist. Al Richardson, the burly boot
