have nothing on Des Moines when 1t
comes to staging u holdup.

FRIGHT MAY KILL MAN.
Practical Joke Played on Farmer May
Result Fatally.

Fort Dodge, June 2T.-William Wiese,
a young farmer living near Manson. is
in a serious condition and may not live
as the resulS of a practical joke.
The serious condition OF the young
man was not learned here. until today,
altho the Joke" was played upon him
several weeks ago.
Wiese was sitting in the parlor of
his home with his wife about IL o'clock
at night A rap was heard at the door.
The man went to answer. When he
opened the door there stood dummy
figure clothed in white.
The dummy was mechanically oper-
ated by strings by some one who must
have been in the close vicinity of the
door. When Wiese appeared at the
door, the dummy extended a hand and
the head moved.
At the gruesome sight before him,
the man stood in mute horror finally
going into a convulsion from which he
did not recover for several hours.
The next day Wiese had another
convulsiCn Of similar nature. Medical
assistance was called in. They could
do nothing. He went to Rochester,
Mimi, to consult with specialists and
they sent him away without giving any
relief. Every day since the fatal cay
when the dummy appeared he has jeen
taken with these commissions coming
toward evening when he always can see
that CHASTITY sight of the hand extended
and the hooking head moving up and
down.
One of the features of the convul-
-.
always grips his right hand as If to
shake hands with some one yet unable
to extend il.
Physicians fear that unless some cure
is found for the CONFUSION, Wiese can
not live long.
No trace has been found of the par
ties responsible for the Joke" altho
the matter is being investigated.

members OF the union stood pa by
saying that the master bakers would
sign the contracts as presented or they
would stay out on the strike.
However, in the meeting the matter
was talked over and discussed from
all angles, and finally the employers
agreed to sign the contracts to incliIde
the bread wrappers and statesmen in

He Did.

San Juan, p. R.-M. K. McCosh of
East Orange, N. J., strolled into San
Juan a few days ago after a tramp
around the entire island, which took
him three weeks, feeling fine and de-
claring that the well-meaning friends
who had warned him he would not
find any food fit to eat In the small
hotels had been sadly misinformed.
He found the hostelries In the small
places clean and the food good, and
he said the object of his trip, to re-
cuperate from the effects of an attack
of ptomaine poisoning and a siege Of
the influenza, had been realized. He
came here intending to make the re-
turn trip on the same steamer, but
he found the sea voyage had not help
ed him as much as he had hoped and
he decided to stay owe and make his
long tramp. Now he is glad he did 1t.
