CRAZY MAN AT
BOILEAU HOME
Gives Boilesu Family q Severe Fright
Friday Night - Claimed that He
Was Chased By Men.
NOW IN CUSTODY AT STANDPOINT
Gave Name as William Primrose Of
Poison, Ment.-Is Married.

A demented man who gave his
name as William Primrose and
who claimed to have hailed from
Poison. Mont, where he has wife
aud two children, gave the mem
bers of the Boileau family fright
Friday evening when he stole into
their home on the Bench" armed
with a goodsized rock and declared
that he was seeking protection
from a bunch of men who were
chasing him.
Primrose appeared at the Boileau
residence about 1880 in the eve
ming Miss Phoebe Boileau was at
work in the kitchen and sat in a
chair with her back to the door
opening outdoors. A stealthy noise
caused her to glance around and
she was Mortified to see, close be-
hind her, a man of large size who
was roughly dressed and who held
in his hand rock in a position
that seemed to indicate that he in
tended to throw it at her. The
posture of the stranger and the un-
canny CLEAN in his eyes warned
Miss Boileau that she was in dan
ger. Although nearly paralyzed
from fright She managed to scream
out a warning TO her sisters and
mother who were sitting in the
dining room. as she rushed TO the
mont OF the house. The excited
cries of his mother and sisters
brought Rhuben Boileau, who had
been attending to some work near
by, into the house. Learning the
cause of the commotion, young
Boileau grabbed an axe and started
out to find the stranger, who had
lleft the house and had gone into
the woodshed few steps away
Boileau states that the fellow made
a motion as if TO hit him with the
rock he still carried in his hand
but seemed to change his mind
When Boileau asked the fellow
what he meant by coming into his
home and disturbing the family
Primrose told that he had been
chased up the hill by bunch OF
men who were armed with clubs
Primrose then went on to tell that
he had been in a Chinese restaur.
ant downtown and had ordered
supper. He said the Chinamar
brought him biscuits which made
him sick and when he threw then
away the Chinaman became mad
and together with a bunch of me1
chased him out of the place anc
over town. The stranger seemed
to be anxious to find a policeman
and so Boileau telephoned Mar
shall Steele and Primrose told hi
troubles to the village marshal
over the telephone. Steele told
the man to come down town anC
that he would go to meet him
The man soon became rationa
when he was in the company o
the marshall and next morning b.
was allowed to leave town.
Primrose went to Standpoint from
this place. Early Monday morning
he went to Policeman Kitchen, O
that city, and told that a man wa
after him over the wire" for mur
der in the first degree at Kalispel

Officer Kitchen turned the ma

CUTS THROAT
WITH RAZOR
Frank Woods Takes His Life Tuesday
Evening Following Explosion
Accident Near Libby.
TO BE BURIED TODAY AT LIBBY
Dependency Believed To Have Been
Cause Of Rash Act.

Frank Woods, victim of an ex
plosion accident which occurred
Monday morning at the Brook
Bros. logging camp eight miles
west of Libby, Mont. in which he
had his left hand blown off a few
inches above the wrist, committed
suicide at the Boomers Ferry hospi
tai Tuesday evening by cutting his
throat from ear to ear with razor
The body of Woods was shipped to
Libby, Mont, Wednesday evening
where interment was made today.
Woods was a lumberman and
was in the employ of the Brooks
Bros firm of logging contractors at
the time of the explosion accident.
Monday morning, Woods, set out
to blow some stumps and roots
from the bank of a creek on which
he was engaged in driving logs.
He placed about a stick and half
of dynamite under the roots he
wished to dislodge and touched
the end of the fuse with a match.
Woods told at the Boomers Ferry
hospital Tuesday evening that the
fuse did not seem to be afire and SO
he started to light another match
when without any warning the dy-
Mantle was exploded knocking
him senseless and tearing off his
hand and part of his left wrist.
Fellow workmen- cared for the
wounded man as best they knew
how. A tourniquet was put about
the arm of the injured man to stop
the flow of blood but by the time he
could be brought to and given
medical care in this city the man
was so weak from the loss of blood
that it was feared his life could not
be saved. Local physicians
worked over the man for some time
and by Monday evening he was
resting easily and seemed to be on
the road to recovery. All day
Tuesday Woods continued to i'm
prove slowly but surely although
he was very weak from loss of
blood. He did not seem to be
suffering and offered no complaint.
In fact the nurses at the hospital
did not talk to him at all during
the day through fear of disturbing
his rest. Tuesday evening about
go o clock the Herald represent
alive visited the injured man and
was told by him of the particulars
of the accident. Woods did not
seem to be respondent at this time
About o'clock some of the
other patients at the hospital
gathered about the bed of an in
mate next to the cot occupied by
Woods and started to play cards
Close to the bed occupied by the MAJ

these banana boats trading to the

that in 1911 the number Of clearances
issued to vessels from Port Antonio to
the United States was 7O8, Of which
523 were Norwegian, 1O2 British, "a

OF THE AIR
Incubator Has Been Used by
Birds for Ages.
Australian Brush Turkey Builds Huge
Nest, Eggs Are Laid and Permitted
to Hatch Without the Aid
of Female.

London.-Most of us, probably, are
1nder the impression that man invent
ed the incubator. He did nothing of
he sort. Certain of the fowls of the
air forestalled him by a few hundred
thousand years or SO!
Both in the gardens of the Zoolog-
lcal society and private parks, such as
that of the duke of Bedford, n spe-
cies of mound-builder, at present at
least, has been annually induced, for
several years past, to give very sue
cessful demonstrations of the way in
which the propagation of the species
may be carried ON with the least pos
sible expenditure of are and energy
on the part Of the parents, while they
evidently ignore the fact that that
method, ~obstinately persisted in, has
left them hopelessly behind in the ace
for life. This bird is the Australian
brush turkey (Talegalla lathami).
When it becomes imperative that ma
lures annual tribute should be paid,
this bird, knowing nothing of the
blessed word Cooperation" yet acts
upon it. Two or more females, and
perchance an unusually good-natured
male, start throwing dirt with their
feet, which are Of enormous size.
Working with an energy worthy Of a
better cause, they soon create an enor-
nous head of soil and decaying vege-
tation. Camping out for a few days
on the spot, the tiresome task is soon
completed. Then the bored females
scrape a hole in the center Of the
heap and between them deposit about
a score or SO eggs. This done, the
hole is covered up and they are
free! The only care they seem to
take for the well-being If the brats
that are to be Is that when laying,
they contrive to leave the egg with
Its large end downwards.
A gardener wal once asked why he
always pulled the barrow after him.
He replied: Because l 'ates the sight
of it." And, apparently, for similar
reasons, the mound-bird, in building
its unlovely nursery, throws the earth
behind it. Sooner or later, however,
a mound, some six feet high, and
twelve or fourteen yards in circumfer-
ence, Is raised. The rotting leaves,
embedded in %leaf-mold, soon begin to
ferment, and with this the process of
incubation begins. Now, nesting birds,
as everybody knows, require a tremen-

Simple Bath for an Elephant.

During the recent heat wave in
Paris the proprietor of a great me-
nageie, noticing that his favorite
elephant, Jimmy, wal weak and list
less, thought that a bath might do
him good, so a bath was prescribed.
First, six men soaped Jimmy all over,
not forgetting-and this was the most
delicate part of their task-the multi
tudinous folds of his ears. Then
hoses played on this pachyderm from
every quarter Of the compass. Now
came the drying, which was per
formed by throwing quantities of fine
sand over the animal. Jimmy was
then rubbed down and anointed with
pure cocoa oil till his skin was
smooth and shining. He appeared
very much better for his bath, and
we'll he might, for this seemingly sim
pie prescription had cost his owner
$500.

we are not able to do very much

winter. We did not make very much
feed last year and were not able to
buy feed and grain. We had to buy
most of our provisions to help us out

PRESENT FOR ENGAGED GIRL
An Apron to Slip on When Bride Does
Housework Is Always Ac-
ceptable.

A useful and attractive gift for an
engaged girl is an apron that may
be slipped on when the bride does
homework, and wishes to keep pre-
sentable. Just this type Of apron Is
hard to buy, so Is doubly acceptable.
Probably the most useful kind is a
studio apron, such as is used by the
woman artist. Get a good pattern
with sleeves reaching to the wrists
and cut without too much fullness.
Choose a pink Bingham of fine quality
or a clear black and white stripe,
which always washes well.
For the former trim the neck
which should be cut slightly square
and sleeves with a two-inch insertion
Of white embroidery, and fasten at
the back with white pearl buttons.
The black and white apron may be
trimmed with black bias bands, or
with white cotton bands embroidered
in a cross-stitch design in black.
A somewhat dressier apron, though
not 10 useful for protection, Is made
like a waitress apron, with straps
owe the shoulders. A pretty effect
is had with ecru or pale pink percale,
the straps embroidered in a ros
stitch band that is carried on each
side to the bottom of the apron. The
hem at bottom and sides is finished
with a row of two-chain stitch-bands.
Use several tones of brown or red
mercerized cotton on the ecru apron,
and white or black on the pink one.

Some Of the newspaper correspond
ents have to work without pause at
conventions, grinding out interminable
strings of copy for transmission by
telegraph. On such occasions it is
not uncommon for four or FIVE who
are friendly to each other to form
combinations and exchange reports.
The simplest way to do this Is to have
each writer make carbon copies Of his
days work. Five weary correspond
ents were occupying one room in
Michigan avenue, and four Of them
had keeled out on beds, while
the fifth continued to pound his
mill. What are you writing?"
asked one of them, after a while. "A
letter to my wife" "Give us carbons,"
yelled the four in chorus.--The Ar
