HERE'S ODD FREAK OF NATURE
So Far as Known, Twin Tree Is the
Only One of Its Kind In
the World.

One OF the most remarkable freaks
OF nature, II such Ii is. ever discovered
Is twin tree. an oak and elm grown
together, which is found on the ISLAND
occupied by the United States arsenal
at Rock Island. Ill. The Island i'm
question Is formed by two branches
OF the Mississippi river and embraces
some two hundred acres. IT Is covered
with q luxuriant growth OF oak. elm
and various other species OF trees. but
the twin tree Is the only one OF Its
kind on the island. or anywhere else
In the world. as far as Is known. By
some curious phenomenon, the trunks
OF the trees. which apparently were
growing side by side when sapllngs.
have merged into a single bole TO a
height OF seven or eight feet. At this
height the individual trunks separate.
each bearing Its own peculiar bark
formation and foliage. whereas the
Joint trunk seems TO be blend OF
both elm and oak bark. IL has been
estimated that the twin tree is over
Il hundred years old. and II Is possible
that the Indians who once camped on
The island may have had something
10 do. either by accident or design,
with the peculiar formation.

BEACON, N. Y, July 1S.-Mrs.
Clark Durea and Earl Van Nooy, with
whom she left her home in Monticello,
N. Y, last week because her husbands
religion got on her nerves, arrived
here to-day, both of them hopeful of
finding Mr.. Durea, who was leading a
camp meeting of his sect. the Church
of the Holiness, near here.
They did not find him, however, and
motored on with the intention, they
said, of crossing the Hudson and
going to Monticello to effect a recon-
Citation between the Dureas. Van
Nooy was enthusiastic in advising
Mrs. Durea to follow her husband and
ask him to take her back. His en-
thusiasm was not so evident when he
was asked whether he intended to re-
turn to his wife. He said he wasn't
going to.
Speeded by Landlord
The couple, with Mrs. Durea's daugh-
ter Gladys, who has been their COM
panion throughout their excursion, left
Rutherford, N. j., long before dawn at
the earnest solicitation Of their land
lord, Joseph Bobrowski, who did not
fancy at all the notoriety which his
house was obtaining.
They drove to Groville Park, where
the Holy Rollers" as Durea's sect is
called locally, were having their camp
meeting. Before they reached the
camp meeting grounds Durea had
started for Monticello His wife was
told that she might overtake him here,
where he intended to stop He had
gone on when they got here, however,
and they asked City Judge Hoyt what
they should do.
He advised Mrs. Durea to 20 on to
monticello and ask her husbands for
glveness. Van Nooy told his compan-
ion it was good advice and she had
better follow it. He was eager to con-
tinue the trip.
Wants Them Locked Up
While they were at the City Hall
talking with Judge Hoyt, q man named
Angel, another of the camp meeting
leaders, came painting into Judge
Hoyt's Office and melodramatcallv de-
manded that Mrs. Durea and Van Nooy
be locked up. He said they had
violated the Mann act
District Attorney Aldrich, of Duchess
County, was consulted and said there
was no ground upon which to proceed
against the couple in Duchess County.
He advised the vengeful Angel to take
his complaint to the Federal author
tiles if he had any evidence of viola
tlon of the Mann act
When Mrs. Durea reaches her home
IN Monticello she will find it virtually
stripped Of furniture, as her husband
sold almost all of it after her de-
parture. Their daughter she took with
her and their son is with Mrs. Durea's
parents in Brooklyn.

that it was the law of Old Mother

watch out for him. He knew that
Longlegs had right to Grandfather
FROG If he could catch him. Lonelegs
had as much right as any one to live
and Frogs were food for him. With
out Frogs and Fish he would starve.
Perhaps, after all, Grandfather
Frog did see Longlegs and was merely
waiting until the last minute. or,
II ne didn't see him yet, perhaps he
would. If he should warn Grand

Judge Frees Man
Policemen Believed
To Be B0okmaker
Advises Victim TO Demand
Suspension of Two Who
Arrested Him " lille
Standing in Cigar Store

Nicholas Skivola, stenographer, of
Clothesmen Lavender and Shulman, of
the Fortieth Inspection District, last
night on suspicion of being a book
maker for racetracks, was discharged
in the Mems Night Court by Magis-
trate Thomas E. Nolan, who advised
him to visit Deputy Police Commits
sioner John A. Leach to-day and de-
mand suspension of the policemen
pending an inquiry.
Lavender told the magistrate he was
standing at 125th Street and Lenox
Avenue when he saw Skivola conversing
with another man, the latter apparently
handing Skivola money and receiving
in return a slip of paper. Lavender
said when Skivola observed the prox
unity Of an officer he and the man with
whom he had been talking entered a
store and were buying cigars when
Lavender and Shulman entered. Law
ender said both the men were searched
but no evidence was found on them.
He believed they threw a paper under
the counter.
When Magistrate Nolan asked why
the policemen had not made an investi-
cation of what had been thrown behind
the counter, Lavender said he had no
search warrant and he knew better
than to search store without one.
Skivola, who bore evidence Of rough
handling, told the magistrate he was
here on a visit to Daniel F. latina, of
1112 Elder Avenue, The Bronx He
had no interest in horses and had
never made bet in his life. He was
chatting with Zatina on street COR
ner when his friend asked him to have
cigar. They stepped into store,
where they were followed by two men
in plain clothes who said they were
officers and accused them of being
bookmakers. Skivola said when he
denied the charge Lavender dubbed
him and took him to the police sta
ton. He said the paper thrown be-
hind the cigar counter was the pre-
MUM certificate obtained with the
purchase Of two cigars.
THE fact is" said Magistrate Nolan
in reproving the officers, Chat you
men made mistake. Instead of adj
hitting yourselvts mistaken, as was
your duty, and apologizing for your
error, you became officious instead of
official and used your authority to
cover brutal attack on a citizen.
The accused is discharged"
The magistrate then advised Skivola
to visit Deputy Commissioner Leach
and insist upon an immediate investi-
cation.

TARRYTOWN. N. Y, July 1s.-The
polecats Of Pocantico Hills and the
watchmen of John d. Rockefeller's
estate fought each other early this
morning with gas and gunhre. One of
the watchmen was SO badly wounded
by the latter that his leg had to be
amputated to-day in Tarrytown Hos
pital
1t was on the orders of Mr.. Rookie
Teller that Edward Lockwood and Jo-
seph Latham, VITO watchmcn on the oil
kings estate. went on duty last night
with guns. Mr.. Rockefeller and every
one else in the neighborhood had
smelt the encroaching polecats, and it
was decided that they were excellent
animals to shoot on sight.
About o'clock this morning
Latham and Lockwood came upon a
flock of polecats. Latham threw his
gun into position and fired. The ins-
