Decision of Appellate Court.

Chief Justice Shepard. in the opinion OF
the appellate court, reversed the finding
of the lower court.
He holds that equity has jurisdiction.
as there exists no adequate remedy at
law, and that the gifts instead of be
ing voluntary acts of an old man In
grateful appreciation of daughterly af-
lection, kindness and care or the acts
of a lover desiring to provide for the
future of a woman whom he was pre-
vented from marrying solely by fear
of his SON. were the result of fraud
and undue influence practiced and OBJ
tanned through letters and recommen-
dations purporting to come from his
deceased wife" Without these letters.
the chief justice suggests. Mr.. Hurd
would not have parted with his money
in the large amounts shown by the
bank books and drafts.
Fenton ]. Hurd died during the pend
ency of this appeal, and the appellate
court holds that his executor is entitled
to a decree canceling the gifts and trans
fers or money and impressing trust
upon the securities into which the money
has been converted. Since discovery has
not been made of all the securities the
lower court Is directed to issue such in
cidental auxiliary process as may be
necessary to procure the possession of
all such securities or the proceeds of
them.
Mrs. Cramer's Admission.
Mrs. Cramer admitted writing two
spirit letters to Mr.. Hurd, but said
they were written in fun. Commenting
on this, Chief Justice Shepard says:
considering Mr.. Hurds firm belief in
the genuineness of the letters received
from another woman whom he supposed
to be a medium, and Mrs. Cramere
knowledge Of this, it is incredible that
he regarded spirit letters written by her
as mere matters of fun
Attorneys r. A. Ford and W. D. Nc
Lean appeared for the executor Mrs

Planning to Take Appeal.

An appeal from the decision today
will be taken to the Supreme Court of
the United States il attorneys for the
labor leaders can find ground upon
which to ask the highest court to re-
view the judgment On a previous ap-
peal to the Supreme Court the judg-
ment was effectually dismissed and the
contempt proceedings We're brought all
over again.
In the previous action the decision of
the court below holding the men in con-
tempt was unanimous. The dissenting
opinion of the Chief Justice today proba-
bly, will present one avenue of further ap-
peal The case has been a hard fought
one and attracted wide attention because
of the prominence of the men involved.
The contempt was alleged to have been

Stove and Range Company in so-called

THEY SAW THE LAKE FLY.
An African Phenomenon That Looked
Like q Watorspout.

~ " ~O~VO~
Like 4 W~atsrspout.
Crossing Victoria Nyanza, Messrs.
F., 81. Melland and e. H. Cholmeley,
the authors of Through the Heart Of
Africa" saw a phenomenon which, al
though common on the lakes Of central
Africa, seems rare enough.
The chief engineer On coming down
late to luncheon told Ut that he had
seen a w~aterspout near by. As we
had finished our meal we hurried up
on deck to get a glimpse of. 1t. We
saw near the southern horizon a gray
smoke-like column arising from the
surface Of the lake and expanding
into what looked like a cloud above.
Thinking that It must be the engineers
waterspout, VI approached Captain
Gray and MI. Akeley. who were also
intently observing it. and asked them
II we were right in our conjecture.
"Waterspoutv' said the skipper. with
4 smile. "Flies." /.
"F1ies" we repeated and turned to
Mr.. Akeley in the hope of getting from
himr a more Ineligible explanation.
"Quite true" he said. "Flies. You've
seen the lake fy beforeT"
mo-" we retorted, 1--WE haven't, and
we didn't know that 1t dew"
Assuring rs that neither he nor the
skipper had any intention Of deceiving
rs, Mr.. Akeley explained that he re-
terred to the insect known as the flake
dy" and not to, any spasmodic tn
volity on the part Of the waters Of
Victoria Nyanza. The apparent water
spout was nothing more or less than
Z huge cloud composed Of myriads Of
Tiny dies. They sometimes rise from
the surface Of the lake In such dense
columns as to obscure the Hight Of tAe
sun like a pillar Of smoke.

bers as to almost obscure the very

close succession as to partly give the
impression that each was but the sep
arated group and companion voyagers
of the flock that had but just passed
overhead on swiftly whirring wings.
These flocks passed in M long pro-
cession for days at a time in the early
spring and eve for weeks. Thousands
and even hundreds Of thousands Of
them. IL the reports Of those days were
to be taken implicitly. nested in the
woods Of Alton and Big Shanty. a
short distance across the Pennsylvania
line.
All at once these myriad focks Of
pigeons ceased to come-disappeared
abruptly. mysteriously, and apparently
forever. Whence did they go so sud
denly and so completely? No one has
yet been able to answer that question.
Since that time game authorities and
naturalists have searched In vain for
further traces Of the birds. not only
in this vicinity, but all owe North
America. Large sums have been Of

viduals for a nest or even a single egg
