They fell upon each other fiercely, and
in the swift clash of arms all else was

the potency of the white mans
weapons. Their own weapons none

color they understood. With much
cheerfulness they addressed them
selves to the task of mutual mutila-

DROWNING
OF A FANATIC.

81 will walk on the waters" Dan
Pakovich shouted yesterday, and
strobe to the bank of Wolf Lake,
| Indiana, near Robertsdale. He started
into the lake with a walking stick
;snd, sipging.s He plunged steadily
ahead, the water reaching his knees
and finally almost to his shoulders.
Wolf Lake is a little over mile
wide. The water in it is very shallow,
| however, and Pakovich, still chanting
hymn, had gone more than mile
and was within $50 feet of the farth-
er bank when he threw up his arms
and sank into a deep hole. Watchers
turned in an alarm and the body was
recovered.
In the dead mans pockets were
found bankbooks showing he had $4,-
100 on deposit in Chicago and Whit
ing banks. He was religious fanatic.
Half century ago good but de-
luded man in Alexandria, after hav-
ing spent his last cent, became con-
WINGED that he would be fed as was
Elijah the Tishbite = by ravens.
When he began to feel the pangs of
hunger, he repaired to an adjoining
cemetery where he awaited the feath-
cry messengers. Buzzards and crows
flew over him, but none alighted, and
his friends hearing of his fDeak
went to the grave yard and induced
him to return to his home, where he
was supplied with his immediate
needs.
Attempts to walk upon water as
did the Man of Gaiilee have been
made at times by individuals in diff
ferent countries. English miscellany
contains many sucn incidents. In
most cases the enthusiasts have es-
capped drowning, however.

JUDGE KEITH's RETIREMENT
(Richmond Times-Dispatch)


Judge Keith's retirement from the
bench of the Supreme Court of Ap-
peals, anticipating by nearly ten
months the conclusion of his term.
will cause regret throughout Vir-
ginia. 1t was known, of course, the
State was to lose the services of TINS
distinguished jurist, for he announced
months ago that he would not be a
candidate for reelection, and Judge
Frederick W. Sims, of Louisa, had
been chosen by the General Assem-
bly, to succeed him, but it had been
expected that he would serve out
his term.
However, Judge Keith is entitled to
rest. He has given the greater
part of his life to Virginia, serving
calamity as a soldier of the Comic
deracy and with great learning and
ability as Judge. For a score of
years he has been president of the
Supreme Court of Appeals, and many
of the decisions that have given that
tribunal high rank wear the impress
of his fine scholarship and judicial
mind.
The affectionatc regard of his fell
Iow-citizens will follow him into re-
tirement.
