DEEP WE'LL BEGINS
ACTING QUEERLY

On an orchard tract near Wenat-
chez, WASH. west of Spokane, there is
a well 120 feet deep that has been
acting queer the last few days. The
we'll was put down two years ago and
until recently displayed no peculiari-
ties. A member Of the family ap-
preached the we'll for water few
days ago and was astonished to hear
a Kissing noise from the depths Of the
we'll A closer investigation showed
that blast of air was belching forth
through openings in the covering Of
the well. Curiousiy led to further in
vestigation and a couple of the planks
covering the well were raised. 1t was
found that a warm current of air was
floating upward and as near as could
be ascertained 1t was coming from a
point just below the surface Of the
water, The well kept belching wind
for a couple Of hours. About 6
o'clock in the evening a chinook wind
started to blow, and the we'll infne-
diately quieted down. The same phe-
nomena was repeated few days later
and those who witnessed it are great

the current of air can have with the

DENTIST ON STAND
IN SCHENK MURDER TRIAL

Wheeling, w. Va, Jan. 13.-Dr. o
w. Burgatt, dentist, was the first
witness in Mrs. Schenk's trial today
He testified that the dark coloring on
Schenks gums was due to the pecul-
lar condition of Schenk's blood. DR.
Hupp, for the state, had previously
testified that the lines might have
been from blood poisoning. Burgati
treated Schenk in October. When
cross-examined Hupp admitted the line
might have resulted from some gum
disease.
Burgatt said he was convinced the
black lines on the gums were due to
arrangement of Schenk's system
and not to any disease or the gums
themselves. On cross examination he
refused to say whether or not stomach
disorder might have caused them.
Prof. ]. Mallett, the chemist from
the University, who analysed the
drinking water Mrs. Schenk is said tC
have opened and given to her hus
band, said he found arsenic, eight
tenths of a grain to the pint.

LOCKSTEP ABOLISHED
IN WALLA WALLA PEN

Declaring it utterly useless and
worthless, a thing without good, c. s.
Reed, warden Of the state peniten-
tiary at Walla Walla, Wash, for
mally consigned the prison lock-step
to the oblivion from which it came,
Since the beginning the lock-step has
been the custom at the penltentiary.
When the prisoners came in to their
meals or marched out to them they
did so in lockstep. The lockstep,
stripes and other relics of more bar
barous age are a thing of the past at
Walla Walla. "The lock-step and the
striped SUITS" continued Warden Reed
have come down to us from the
past. Why or how they originated is
now of little interest. 1t suffices that
whatever may have been the reasons
which actuated their originators, they
do not hold good today. The lockstep
serves no purpose. 1t accomplishes no
good It is a senseless custom which
has outlived it's time. The striped
suit has not been seen here for some
time. The prisoners wear plain gray
clothes, with no distinguishing mark
but the prison number"
