and save from 10 to 20 cents on Every Dollar
Saw Duit Dummy Shoots Walter
Hyde.
Kver to into your room late at
night, lock the door, turn on the
light and find yourself facing a
tnnked man who, half concealed
by a dreser.pointing straight atyou
a revolver ahich exploded during
that hair-raicing moment with a
terrific rejiort and sent a bullet
living past your head? Ever
make a run for the door with the
crv of "Help" on your lips and,
forgetting that a second before you
had turned the key in the lock,
you mustered up titanic strength
and nearly tore the door from its
iron hinge? and just at that time
discovered that the villainous
looking housebreaker and roblier
was nothing but a saw-dust dum
my operated by strings from an
other room. , Ever figure out bow
much you would feel like a melted
down starched collar if such a
thing happeued to you?
This same experience happened
in full to Walter HyJe recently
when he went to his room to
retire. Loc ring the door he had
just parsed ' through be turned on
the electric light and saw stand
ing behind the dresser a masked
man with leveled revolver. Hyde
said something under hia breath
There are persons who swear it
was the rib ends of a tearful piay
er; others aver that it was some
thing stronger, savoring of tabasco
sauce and well pepjiered. Opin
ions differ, however, and anyway
that part of it has nothing to do
with tbt) . story. As , the , words
escaped bis lips he turned like a
(lush of frightened lightning to
ward the door. There was a flame
of lire, an ear-splitting roar and
Hyde lakes oath that a soft nosed
mushroom bullet parted his hair,
forgetting .while making the as
sertion that5 he is mostly bald on
on that particular spot. Hyde
reached the door simultaneously
with the revolver's explosion. He
forgot be had locked it and he
braced his strength against the re
sisting lock and hinges. Not once
but a dozen times in a third as
many seconds he pulled on the
pine. The door quivered and
groaned under, the euperbu.nan
energy at work to wrench it open.
Finally he turned around and saw
the tightening and slacking of a
string along the wall which was
doing admirable work in operat
ing the saw-dust man behind the
dresser. A smothered laugh in
the adjoining room shed more
light on the mysterious intruder,
and explanations were made soon
afterward.
A few hours before a dummy
had l-en Bluffed and dressed ac
cording to the ethics of the ordi
nary porch climler and two
strinps run from the revolver'
trigger ana arms ot tne auto-,
maton; the first to explode the
blank cartridges, and the other to
give a few life-like motions to the
saw-dust counterpart of a human
being. From a stove pipe hole
near the ceiling and connecting
with the adjoining room the oper
ators could see all that transpired
by looking across to the mirror in
the dresser. In reality they can
tell more about the incident than
Hyde himself because they were
cool, collected and enjoying the
sport, while Hyde well, you ask
Hyde about it.
Not Uuder Suspicion.
From Land Oflice sources it is
learned loday that the investiga
tions on the Umatilla Indian
Reservation were initiated to as
certain the coection of J. H.
Raley and other Oregonians with
the wholesale entry of large areas
io the ceded strip of the reserva
tion. This verifies Secretary
Hitchcock's statement that Senator
Fulton is not under investigation.
The Senator's name was brought
into the case by reason of his hav
ing introduced a bill to validate
the title of a large number of
entries now believed . to have been
made in the interest of Raley and
others.
From the same source it is
Wrnwl that Senator Fulton was
misled at the time the bill was
introduced, and this explains his
testimony before the committee.
