Xtemarlcable Experience of Leoft Haoien
of The Dallas.
Lena Hansen, who left The Dalles for
the hospital in Portland several weeks
ago, has just brushed a remarkable sleep
ot thirty-six days. In that time she has
become very pale and thin, and fears
were entertained that she would die
while in that comatose state. An Orei
gonian reporter has visited her, and asf
certained many interesting facts. .
The extraordinary feature about Miss
Hansen's case is that she is not in a
state of coma, a not uncommon condi
tion, but that she is actually sleeping,
just as any person Bleeps who is reading
this, only she does not awaken. And,
during her thirty-six days' nap she has
so wasted away as to be little more than
skin and bones.
Miss Hansen is a young lady 20 years
old, a native of Denmark. For the last
two and a half years she has been living
at The Dalles, and up to March 24th she
earned a livelihood by doing boueehold
work for families of that vicinity.
About 3 o'clock on the afternoon of
March 25th Miss Hansen was brought
to the Good Samaritan hospital. ' When
Mrs. Wakeman, the superintendent of
the hospital, came into the receiving
room she found Miss Hansen, accom
panied by Miss Sophie Ebbersen, a
bright and attractive young country
woman of ber'e, and Mrs. Wilson, of the
suits of the cold bathe the physicians
expressed hope of her speedy recovery
from the peculiar ailment that produced
such a remarkable slumber. ,

Hansen needed hospital treatment, and,
as she had very little monev, Secretary
Walpole, of the city board of charities,
wished to have her cared for during one
week at the city's expense. Miss Eb
berson, who had brought the girl down
from The Dalles, then ' explained that
Miss Hansen was suffering from a pecul
iar ailment, which affected her so that
she was always falling asleep. This
strange craving had come over her only
in the last month, said Miss Ebbersen,
during which time it had become almost
impossible to keep her awake. The
Dalles family in which she did house
work managed to get her up sometimes
at noon, but oftener not until afternoon.
And 'yet she went to bed early in. the
evening.. "Dr. Shackleford of The
Dalles treated her for it. She, however,
would not take bis medicine, and so,
after a short while, be said that she had
better go to a hospital in Portland
That is how I came to bring her down.'
Alter working . witu her in various
ways the Portland doctors succeeeded in
awaking her, but Bhe yet lies in a stupor

sponds to a question.

The minds of the citizens of Eastern'
Oregon have been racked and troubled
for months past over the to-be or not-to-be
of the locks at the caecadee, and now
a new danger looms up to totally anni
hilate hope as to the Columbia ever
proving a waterway for the commerce of
the Inland Empire. After more than
twenty years of effort, the expenditure

o't-repeated promises that the comple
tion of the locks was practically an ac
complished fact, and when latterly we
bave been assured that they could even
now pass boats, the entire work stands
in great danger of being lost by the com
ing rise of the Columbia river. When
the flood of 1894 occurred, it was con
sidered an unparalleled event, and that
it would not occur again during the life
time of anyone now living. The pres
ent conditions, are, however, indicative
of a rise equal to that of 1894. The river

locks. Tbis time there will be no one
there to fight the destructive current.
The men are gone and the Days bave no
longer even a passing interest in them.
Such Inroads were made in 1894 that
the bank next the river would fall an
easy prey to the erosive action of the
water. It will tear away and destroy
the bank, and finally working in behind
the walls they will melt beneath the
flood as if they were wax. The situa
tion will then be worse than if the work
was sever begun, for there will be no
foothold Jeft to again construct them.

' Mr. William Vanbibber, who has
driven a milk wagon for about thirty
years, from his ranch to The Dalles, was
held up about 1 :30 o'clock Sunday morn
idg while on his way in. He ' was
tordered to stop, and Mr. Vanbibber did
eo, not realizing it waa a command, and
thinking it was some friend of his. He
was undeceived when he was ordered to
throw up his hands, and he refused to
do it, though a pistol was thrust at him,
pointing toward his leg. The order was
repeated, and this time was accom
panied by a blow with the pistol across
the fleshy part of the leg. Mr. Van
bibber has for the past few months car
ried a weapon, but he did not have it oh
this trip. He, however, expressed de
fiance, and whipping his horse, started
briskly off. After he had gone about 20
feet, a pistol shot was fired, and the
horse crouched down as if shot. He was
probably "creased," that is the ball
passed so closely to his head, that the
effect is temporarily the same as if shot.
He recovered and started again", when
another shot was fired with the same
effect. Four or five shots were fired,
bringing the horse to a stand each time
until the last, when he went ahead.
A Mr. Vanbibber said be did not get a

known young man, whose name we are
requested not to mention until the result
of the preliminary trial, so that in case
the defendant is discharged the publicity
may be no greater than possible.
A preliminary trial was held this
afternoon, at which Mr. Vanbibber swore
to tbe identity of the pistol and the
Voice of his assailant.
