painstaking investigation, they are to
be accepted, not as irresponsible tales,
such as wander about the eastern seas,
but as substantial facts, however sin
gular and incomprehensible they may
appear. 1t Is matter of court record,
for example, that certain natives OF
what is called the coast range, being
upon trial for the murder of two car
riers, whose throats they had cut, ad.

April Fool at Larae.


People on South Third street yester-
day morning gazed in wonderment as
a parade Of coal wagons, grocery de-
liveries and other vehicles used for
the delivery purposes. drew up in
front Of a residence. much to the as
tonishment Of the lady OF the house.
For some moments the wagons arriv-
ed, each driver stating that he had
received an order for delivery at that
number. Explanations were wanting.
While there We're four or five coal
wagons and several grocery deliveries
standing in front OF the house, the
doctors began to arrive and at one
time there were five physicians on the
premises at once. No, there was no
sickness; there were no orders for
coal, nor groceries. nor dry goods, nor
sewing machines, nor drugs Gradually
drivers, deliyerymen and doctors be-
gan to realize that something was
wrong. Then they remembered that
the date April /, and one by one they
drove away to their offices, to unload
their coal, to distribute groceries and
dry goods on the shelves, and above
all to keep as quiet as possible about
the escapade. The lady OF the house
is absolutely at a loss to explain the
mysterious telephone calls that or
dered all the stuff and sent the doc
tors hurrying to the scene. The police
are now nedeavoring to locate the
party who was so energetic.
