BAFFLED BY MAN TRAP
Man Arrested for Burglary Says He
Spent Night of Horror at
LakeVieW.

Alton, Ill-Mark Podner, twenty
three years old, was arrested at Lake
view, near here, on a charge of burg
larry and larceny. He owed his cap
ture to a unique man trap, maze
which the owner of the house had
constructed.
The Lakeview belongs to ]. j. BIZ
zant, who erected a castellated strue-
ture, surrounded by a moat and a
drawbridge Bizant made maze with
looking glasses in the house, and when
Podner broke into the place, which
was tenanted only by the Waterman,
Henry Meyers, he could not get out
Podner, who believes in ghosts, had
heard Bizant's place was haunted, he
said, and wanted to find out for him.
self. When he got into the maze and
in the dim light saw his own figure in
the mirrors he became terror-stricken.
The wind was moaning and Podner's
imagination conjured up evil spirits.
To escape from the house he ran every
way, but in vain. Twelve times, he
says, he went up and down the stair
way, hoping to get his bearings, but
each time at it's foot he met a mirror
and would flee in terror, only to be
confronted by another.
Podner always had 1onged to see
spooks, but he says the excitement OF
his one night in the Bfzant castle was
too much for him. At last he fell

SABOTAGE.

Sabotage has been defined as the
deliberate and scientific destruction Of
public property. The use of the word
seems to have become widespread
during the railway strike in France in
1910. The word was derived from a
slang term meaning to botch and was
at first applied particularly to acts
Of vandalism perpetrated by strikers.
Malicious mischief might give the
nearest English definition of the word,
but sabotage has come to have mean
ing that is unmistakable even to per-
sons who are unfamiliar with slang
and ignorant of French and is being
adopted by other languages.

Value of Ignorance

When counting up the list of valu.
able possessions for an individual or a
people,sdo not forget honest ignorance.
The man who knows he doesn't
know has escaped the bondage of
prejudice.t b. He has an open mind. He
can learn without first unlearning. He
need not snake chis brain a battle
ground sbetween fresh truth and firmly
seated error.
Wisdom is nearer to ignorance than
to prejudice. Iftyou cannot be wise,
at beast put yourself on the road to
wisdom by keeping your mind honest.

The winners of the contest last
IN: ght were awarded medals of the
same value as were provided for the
field events. Ernest Poe received the
handsome gold medal provided for
first honors; Karl Clark of Culdesac
received the silver medal and Miss
Cunningham of Grangeville received
the bronze medal.
At the conclusion of the declama-
ton contest the winners of the track
events were called to the platform by
Superintendent Huntworth to receive
the medals offered for the events in
which they distinguished themselves.
Because of the tie between Nezperce
and Asotin teams for the champion
ship, it was decided to allow the cup
to remain in Lewiston but Nezperce
took home the handsome silver cup
offered for the individual champion
ship and a number of gold, silver and
bronze medals. In all there were As
medals distributed.

CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY
OF PERRY 100 YEARS AGO

ERIE, Pa, April 26.-Residents O
the south shore of Lake Erie today be-
gan active preparations to properly
celebrate the anniversary of the vic
tory Of Commander Perry over the
British fleet 100 years ago this sum-
mer. The celebration will mark also
the anniversary of the first pact made
between Great Britain and the United
States which removed warships and
all signs of war from the chain of
Great Lakes and where peace has
ruled along 1000 miles of lake front
without cannon and warships to vain
gloriously emphasize it. Il is planned
to make the coming celebration as
much one of peace without expensive
naval display and equipment as one of
the victory of Perry
Erie, by virtue of being the harbor
from which Perry sailed after con-
structing his fleet here, will see the
beginning of the celebration which
will last for one week beginning July
g. After the ships were built here,
the crews were recruited and the then
great dogs-of-war laborionsly trans
ported over the sandbar and out into
the lake to fight the British fleet
which had been pouring a murderous
fire into the helpless villages and
towns all along the shore. When the
situation became too severe, Captain
Daniel Dobbins rode on horseback to
Washington where he asked for an |
to provide fleet for the |
lakes. 1t was only after eloquent !,
pleading that the money was allowed
and the work of building the fleet
begun.
Then Commander Perry, dashing
young naval officer from Rhode Island,
was sent to take command. A mule
-rain-load of powder was sent from
Del, to the fleet which
made history. That same train of
wagons which carried the powder 100
years ago has already left Whining
on with powder to be used in the
coming celebration.
Following week of fire works and
military maneuvers, the famous old
Niagara, the Perry flagship after the
sinking of the Lawrence, will be es-
,orted to Putin bay by the lake
raining vessels and yachts from lake
