STORY OF CRUELTY
At SANITARIUN
Chained in Bed in Small, Hot
Room at Donaldson Insti-

Escaped.

That she was chained to an iron bed
with halter chain three and one-half
feet in length in a dark chamber on the
third floor of the DR.. Donaldson sani-
tarium and kept there almost continu-
ously since last November, is the state
ment made by Mrs. Gertrude Van
Court, a hollow checker, sunken-eyed
pale and nervous woman, who was ia

Sane or insane, the woman was in a
bad condition when taken in custody.
Scantily dressed and with a chain pad
locked snugly about her neck and a
handkerchief beneath it to prevent it
from CALLING, and with the other three
and one-half feet tucked under her
dress, the woman sat in the chiefs
chair at headquarters last evening and
told a disconnected story of her life
for the past few months.
She said she had give birth to a baby
at st. Alphonsus hospital last october
and that shortly afterward she had
been taken to the sanitarium and kept
chained a good part of the time, al
though occasionally permitted to go
about with an attendant. She Ike -
stating that she was hungry but that
her condition would only permit her
to have a very light diet, which, she
stated, was what she was used to at
the sanitarium.
Taken to Hospital.
After telling her story at the city
hall, the woman was taken to the

man called up the sanitarium and asked
for the key to remove the chain from
the woman's neck. Mrs. Donaldson in
formed him that Mr.. Donaldson had the
key and was not at home. and it was
some time later before the chain was
taken off. Dr. Shurtz, county physi-
clan, ordered the woman taken to the
hospital. After few days rest fur
Their examination will be made as to her
sanity.
According to the woman, she had es-
capped from the sanitarium before but
had always been taken back Yester-
day, being determined to get away, she
pulled a CT stor from the low iron bed
on which she slept, worked with a wire
obtained from it and filed a link Of the
chain, which was fastened to the bed
with a heavy paddock. Late in the af-
ternoon she made her escape and went
to the home Of Mr.. Foster, where she
was fed She then left and took refuge
in a vacant building, where she was
found by the officers, who had been no
titled that she had been seen going in
there.

which such a small woman could work
herself up to that would justify chain
ing her up, and declared that the meth
cd was an ancient one in handling the
insane and is no longer tolerated in any
state institutions. He said the woman
seemed to be suffering from a mild
form of insanity, but was perfectly
harmless. She was eXcitable, he said,
and especially so when an attempt was
made to talk to her about the sani-
tarium.
The woman is the wife of Robert L,
Van Court, who lives near the foothill
road with a child by a former wife.
The baby born last fall is at the home
of Mrs. Prultt at Twenty-First and
Hazel streets.
A full investigation into the matter
is to be made. County Attorney Civ
ems, Sheriff Roberts and another man
visited the sanitarium last evening and
saw the chamber in which the woman
was kept. They found the windows
boarded up with cracks left to let in
the light. Just what steps will be ia
ken in the matter is not known, but
the officials announce they intend to
probe the affair to the bottom.

FATTENING OYSTERS.
How the. United States Government,
Helps the BivalNea Grow.
From Country Life in America.

From Country Life in America.
The oyster eating public Is already IA
miliar with the process of fattening adopt
ed by some INSCRIPTIONS dealers in oys-
tiers. This consists merely in throwing
the oysters into fresh water, which they
absorb in large quantities., and become
plump The flavor Is thereby injured and
there Is danger Of injecting the oysters
with typhoid fever. At Lynnhaven, Va,
the United States bureau of fisheries has
been working for several years on a plan
to establish an artificial fattenng bed for
oysters. The oyster lives chiefly on dia-
toms and other microscopic marine plants
These plants require for their growth a
large supply of inorganic salts In the
water. The fattening bed must be in shall
low water so as to have a relatively high
temperature. A wall Is maintained around
the fattening ground so as to retain the
fertilizer and diatoms.
Even after the diatoms have multiplied
enormously the oysters receive no bene-
fit from them unless a current is main
tanned in the water to carry the food to
the oysters. Salt water is pumped in to
prevent the fattening beds from becom-
ing too fresh, and a little lime Is added
to the water to prevent the growth OF
alae and other plants which would give
a disagreeable flavor to the oyster. Too
much lime. on the other hand will de-
stroy the food plants OF the oyster. The
process seems somewhat complicated, but
1t has been demonstrated to be feasible
and to yield fine results in tn number and
quality of the oysters

force, together with submarines. As
these ships were seen by the Germans
from Helgoland, two Zeppelins and
three or four hostile sea planes and
several hostile submarines attacked
them.
TT was necessary for the British
ships to remain in the neighborhood to
pick up the returning airmen, and n
novel combat ensued between the most
modern cruisers and the enemy's air
crift and submarines. BY swift
maneuvertng the enemy's submarines
were avoided and the two Zeppelins
were easily put to flight by the guns of
the Undannted and Arethusa.
The enemys seaplanes succeeded in
dropping their bombs near our ships,
but without hitting any OF them. The
British ships remained for three hours
off the enemyS coast without being
molested by any surface vessel, and
safely re-embarked three out of the
seven airmen, with their machines.
Three other pilots returned later and
were picked up by British submarines.
which were standing by. Their ma
chimes were sunk.
Damage Not Known.
Six out of the seven pilots returned
safely. Flight Commander Hewlett is
missing. His machine was seen in a
wrecked condition about eight miles
from Helgoland. and the fate OF the
daring and skillful pilot is at present
unknown.
The extent of the damage by the
British airmcn's bombs cannot be es-
timated, but all were discharged at
points of military strategy.
Thursday last Squadron Command
or Richard B. Davis, of the naval air
service. visited Brussels in an aero
plane for the purpose OF dropping IL
bombs at an airship shed reported to
contain a German aiTship. Eight of
these bombs. of which six are believed
to have hit. were discharged at the
first attack, the remaining four on the
return flight. Owing to the clouds Of
smoke which arose from the shed, the
effect could not be distinguished.
Another naval airman on Christmas
eve dropped IL bombs on an airship
shed at Brussels, but 1t was impossible
definitely to ascertain the amount Of
damage done.
1T was learned today that the Ger
man airman who visited England on
Christmas day dropped a bomb near
Rochester. which is only % miles
southeast of st. Paul. London. and sew
en- miles from Gravesend. The bomb
did no damage, as it fell in the road

A|RMEN MAKE BOLD
RAID ON CUXHAVEN
British Filters Try to Lure
German Fleet Out of KieI
Spectacular EnCoun-
ter Results.

London. Dec. 29.-Warships, naval
aeroplanes, Zeppelins, and submarines
took part in an engagement on Christ
mas day at the mouth of the Elbe. near
CuXhaVen, the German base, which was
attacked by British ships and planes.
OF the seven airmen, from the British
ships, who attempted to dig out the
German fleet. but one was killed. Com
mander Hewett's wrecked plane was
found off Helgoland.
It is understood that the raid was
fruitless. The British light cruisers,
Arethusa and Undaunted were at
tackled by Zeppelins. seaplanes, and
submarines, while awaiting the return
of the own aviators BY rapid manuver-
Ing they were able to avoid the sub
marines. and the sky craft found the
fire from the warships too dangerous to
permit of careful bomb dropping.
The initiative in military operations
apparently has been left for the time
being to the airmen. Aerial raids across
the English channel to the lower
Thames, over Freiburg, Nancy. Metz
and Sochazew Russian Poland, and on
the German naval base at CuXhaven.
inflicted considerable damage in the
aggregate. Details OF the CuXhaven ex-
petition are still lacking, and although
Berlin asserts that the British aViators
accomplished nothing, ii is said in
Hamburg that some damage was done.
It is evident, however, that the heavy
fog prevented the British from carrying
out fully their plans.

TERROR OF WOLVES IS
.. ADDED TO SUFFERING
Men In Death Grips Prepare Feasts For Hungry Hordes of
Raving Beasts In RuSsa-Young Officer Tells How He
Was Spared.

Petrograd, Dec. 29.-The presence of
the wolf as a new terror on the battle
fields of East Prussia and Poland is
described in a letter sent by Russian
officer to a Riga newspaper.
Wounded in an engagement which
had driven the Germans from their
trenches, he found himself later to be
the only living soul on the field of
dead. Pulling himself together and
leaning on his sword he walked as best
he could toward the supposed shelter
of his comrades in the woods.
"Just as l reached the edge of the
wood" he says, II stopped in terror
From the distance there came the
bowling of a wolf. 1t sounded unut-
terably melancholy and dreadful in the
still autumn night. Another wolf an
swered, in the same long drawn dismal
note. The bowling drew nearer; pres
emily I heard it all around me. without
pause, growing louder and more exult-
ant every moment. .. .... ...
IT am no coward. / am a sports
man and have killed many wolves in
hunts, but what heard that night
can never forget. The chaotic howl
ing which enclosed me like a chain
kept coming closer and closer, draw
ing to the center of the circle where
was standing.
II saw clearly there was no chance
