Adamson was first found by Northwest
ern Conductor Streeter between nine
and ten o'clock, just east of the rear
Main street, and he was in a dazed con-
dition. He half carried him a block and
the burden became so heavy he was
unable to go any further. Streeter
went to a garage nearby and telephon-
ed for a policeman but could find none
of the officers. He left him in care Of
three other parties.
According to the Huron Huronite,
Police Justice Geo. w. Clarke found
the former Brookings man about ten
o'clock lying among several rocks in
front of Otto Jacobson's shop on Third
street while on his way home. Mr..
Clarke supposed he was intoxicated
and tried to get him up. His coat,
sweater and cap were off, lying beside
him. r. o. Richards, a man by the
name of Ingalls, and several others
came along in several minutes and
helped get Mr.. Adamson into an erect
position and into his sweater and coat.
Mas Thrown in Jail
Mr.. Adamson did not speak and
seemed almost unconscious although,
it is stated, he supported himself m
what when placed on his feet. Mr..
Ingalls, secured a car at the garage
and he and Justice Clarke took the
man to the city Jail, since the
police call had failed to get either of
the night policemen. Mr.. Clarke had
a key to the outer door of the Jail but
not to the cells. They, therefore, laid
him on the floor in the office, which it
is said was warm, and left a note for
one of the policemen telling how he
had been picked up. The police JUS
tice believed him to be intoxicated and
summoned no medical aid whatsoever,
the story goes, but left Mr.. Adamson
in the condition in which he had been
found.
Later he was put into a cell. During
all this time, the mans relatives claim,
no attempt was made by the Huron
officers to ascertain whether his dazed
condition was from drunkenness or
foul play, although Justice Clarke
claims that he detected the odor of
liquor on him.
Found Dead in Cell
Early in the morning he was found
dead, lying on the floor beside the
bunk in the cell. His death occurred
at some hour after three o'clock in
the morning, according to the Huron
report. The body was Immediately
taken to Coroner Tams' establishment
where the inquest was conducted. Mrs.
| Adamson knew nothing of the where
abouts of her husband until Sunday
morning, when she located his body at
the morgue.
Brookings relatives were notified of
the circumstances Sunday morning and
William Adamson, a brother of the
deceased who is employed in the
Model clothing store, and Orrin Simp-
kins, a brother of Mrs. Adamson, left
for Huron Immediately. Besides his
wife Mr.. Adamson left four children.

PARIS AND BERLIN.

Chains of Forts That Guard the
French and German Capitals.
As visitor or resident in the country
around Paris and Berlin have often
come across deserted bits of wood, hill
tops grown thick with bramble and
weed interlacing uncut trees. Some
times have spied curious mounds
and apparently neglected masonry.
Mistaking them for some forgotten
ruin, once or twice, on going closer,
men clothed as country policemen have
firmly led me away and inquired point
edly into my business. / had stumbled
upon some of the hidden fortresses
planted there to protect the cities In
just such occasion as has this year
arisen. Had been so discovered about
this Aug. in either Paris or Berlin
would doubtless have been put through
the third degree by the solemn officials,
as have been thousands of other Amer
leans who happened to be rushing
away to get out Of the war zone.
At the present moment these huge
networks of forts about Paris and Ber-
lin are manned with thousands Of
troops, hidden underground along with
the big guns or in f1anking bombproof
intrenehments. At the present writing,
while Paris and Berlin stand out as
the supposed detectives of respective
contending armies. expert opinion Is d.
vided as to the strategic value of either
city. Both are encircled by fortifica-
tons constructed at great expense.
The last identification wave began If
teen years ago. But so strongly is each
fortified that the job Of taking Berlin
by the Russians or OF Paris by the Ger
mans may not be worth while. -Walter

GEOGRAPHICAL PUZZLES.
Where Were Ultima Thule and the Lost

A most puzzling geographic mystery
has come down from ancient times.
This Is the old question as to the iden-
tity Of Ultima Thule. 1t was about 400
B. O. that Pytheas, citizen of Mas
silla, sailed on his famous voyage. He
discovered Albion and then continued
farther north until he reached spot
which he named Ultima Thule. What
this country was has never been deter
mined It may have been Shetland or
Norway or Iceland
Another ancient puzzle Is that Of At
lantis- 1t is commonly believed now
adays that this vanished continent did
once actually lie beyond the pillars Of
Hercules. and there are theories unend-
ing concerning 1t. Some regard the
Canary islands as fragmentary remains

lost land was really America; but, In
