INDIAN
 ROUGH HOUSE
 FEDERAL JAIL

The local Federal jail was the scene of bloody battle late Saturday night and after the smoke had cleared away | it resembled a slaughter house. It was regular old-fashioned knock down and drag-out affair, caused by an Indian from the Copper River val ley who had been incarcerated on a charge of insanity. The native, who appeared in the best of humor and was very docile, suddenly became a raging maniac and started to clean up on the other three occupants of the jail He used poker and split one prisoners head open and dealt sev- eral stunning blows on the bodies of the other two.
 With super-human strength the h. dian was master of the situation until Guard LaBelle bounced upon his back and pinioned his arms, while Deputy Marshal Taylor and two of the pris- oners used a poker and "sap" on his head They were unable to put him out, but finally succeeded in hand cuffing and putting the insane man in irons, but not until after he had beat en them up and taken a good sized mouthful of one of the prisoners arms.
 Dr. Council was finally called to dress the wounds of the injured. The native was put in a straight-jacket and taken to the hospital on stretch CT, where it was necessary to put forty two stitches in the wounds on his head. Two day and night guards are stationed in his room to watch him, as he is still obstreperous, notWith- standing the punishment received and a great loss of blood.
 The Indian is laboring under the hallucination that his son was mur- dered in the Interior and he believed that the men sharing the cell with him had committed the crime and he intended to kill them.

EASIER TO REGULATE POWDER FACTORY IN

SEATTLE, Feb. 19. - Rev. Chaun- cev J. Hawkins, pastor of the Ply mouth Congregation Church, in urg- ing the elimination of dance halls ln Seattle, said it would be as easy to regulate them as it would be to oper- ate "powder factory in he'll"

steps and succeeded in obtaining a

now GO ON WITH THE STORY

((nHE war altered everything and
created a painful breach be-
Il tween my future husband and
my Uncle Robert. The latter instantly
volunteered and rejoined in the oppor-
tunity to seek adventure.
My husband had no mind for &C
tive warfare. He was deHcately built
and of a gentle temperament. Uncle
Robert, however, made a personal
thing of it.
He represented the situation to his
brothers, and Uncle Bendigo-who had
just retired. but who, belonging to
the Naval Reserve, now joined up and
soon took charge of some mine sweep
ers-wrote very strongly as to what
he thought was Michael's duty. From
Italy Uncle Albert also declared his
mind to the same purpose, and though
I resented their attitude, the decision,
of course, rested with Michael. not
with me. He was only fve-and-twen-
ty then and he had no desire but to do
his duty. There was nobody to advise
him and. perceiving the danger Of op-
posing my uncle's wishes, he yielded
and volunteered.
But he was refused. A doctor de-
clared that heart murmur made the
necessary training quite impossible
and I thanked God when 1 heard it.
At my own wish Michael married me
and informed my uncles that he had
done so. Relations were strained all
round after that; but l did not care;
