Mrs. Walters was a resident of the

a married daughter who lives in Kings

intoxicated passengers were not want

walk and waited for the next car. She
tree again prevented from boarding
Che car, and knowing that she ought

SOLVES PERPETUAL MOTION.
THE MORNING ASTORIAN, SATUlCiiAi, max so, iwt
Republican TicKet
Cincinnati Man Unable to Stop When
Once in Motion,
Cincinnati, May 27. Should a police
man encounter James Cassldy. 60, of
the Union Bethol, he will have no oc
casion to tell him to move on.
Cassldy is on the move alt the time
because an ailment from which he suf
fers will not permit of his standing
still If he so desires.
A peculiar derangement of his nerv
ous system has caused him to lose
control of his muscles, and once he Is
in motion It Is Impossible for him to
stop of his own accord unless he
steers for an Immovable obstacle.
The gait he assumes is that of a
man on the verge of losing his equilibrium.
With head and body thrown forward
he at once enters on a trot, which may
continue Indefinitely, as defective
nerves communication witn the
muscles renders him Impervious to
fatigue.
Cassidy was taken to the city hos
pital yesterday, where his peculiar lo
comotion Is attracting general Interest
among the doctors.

RIVERS OVERFLOWING.
Tributaries to San Joaquin at Danger
Mark.
Stockton, Cal., May 17. The warm
weather of the past few days has
caused large quantities of snow In the
mountains to melt, and the Stanislaus
and Tuolumne rivers, which empty Into
the San Joaquin,, are running bank
full. This ha taxed the latter river to
such an extent that the danger mark
Is fast being reached in several places.
Last evening a large number of men
were sent from Stockton to the Fabian
tract, west of Tracy, to work the sand
to the top of the embankment. A tele
phone message reported a 40-foot
break on the Kasson ranch, four miles
south of Banta. An effort Is being made
to stop the water, but large quantities
of it Is flowing onto the farms and un
less the break Is closed the water will
run onto other valuable tracts.

ACCIDENT GRIEVES DOG.
Refuses to Come from Watch Till Lost
Food Is Recovered.
Morrlstown, N. J., May 27. Nero, a
large Newfoundland dog owned by J.
Newcomb of Dover was so heartbroken
yesterday over his carelessness In drop
ping Into the canal a luncheon he was
carrying that he nearly killed him
self In his efforts to regain the parcels,
and refused to come out the water till
they were fished up.
Yesterday Nero started from his
master's home for his shop with a
lunch pall and soma coffee In a' gloss
bottle having a handle by which It
could be carried. He suddenly seemed
to remember that he could shorten the
trip a quarter of a mile by going across
lots and over the foot bridge of the
canal. The bridge la a narrow plank,
and In crossing It Nero had to be so
watchful of his steps that he forgot
to keep his Jaws tightly shut on the
coffee bottle, and It dropped Into the
water. Forgetting that he had the
lunch pall In his mouth, Nero Jumped
in after the coffee, and thus lost both
burdens.
Then he began to plunge and swim
around frantically In the canal. The
accident had been seen by two boys,
and after they had watched the dog
swim around for half an hour they went
to the shop and told Mr, Newcomb
about It The latter hurried over and
found the dog swimming bout, plung
ing here and there, endeavoring to get
the lost luncheon. He called he dog
to come out of the water, but Nero
would not leave the canal. All efforts
to get him to the shore were fruitless.
The dog was becoming exhausted, but
still he swam around, yelping piteously,
grieved and nearly heartbroken at hav
ing met with the accident
Mr. Newcomb said that the only way
to get the dog out of the water would
h. nub mi the lost luncheon. After
about 18 'minutes' fluhlng the dinner
pall was pulled out and tna tht
coffee bottle. Nro then consented to
come out of the water, but was so
weak he could not crawl out, and had to
b hauled up on land. The dog had
been swimming about for over an hour.
