HEALERS LAND IN PRISON Clad In Imposing Robes They Seek Financial Help to Unearth Vast Fortune Which the late “Elijah" Was Alleged to Have Buried. St. Joseph. Mo.—A story of $20,000. 000 buried on an island in the sea led to the arrest here of the "Rev. Bish op" Schrader, who sometimes calls himself Schlatter, asserting he is the original "divine healer." and "Dr. James Alexander Dowie. who asserts that he is a brother of the late John Alexander Dowie of Zion City. The original Schlatter, as a "divine heal er." attracted wide attention at Den ver a decade ago. Dowie and Schrader came to St. Joseph about two weeks ago. Clad in imposing robes, they held meetings nightly In the streets and invited the crowds to call upon them at their rooms, where they undertook to heal the sick by the laying on of hands, free of charge. One of the persons who accepted the invitation to call upon Dowie and Schrader was a local real estate agent, and the healers, it is declared, told him that if he had sufficient con fidence in them to entrust them with $1,200 in cash, they would make him a millionaire several times over. The real estate man had that confidence. According to the tale said to have been unfolded, upon a pledge that it would not be revealed to another liv ing soul. "Elijah" Dowie had $20,000, 000 in gold buried in an island in the Gulf of Mexico, off the coast of Hon duras. The treasure originally amounted to $40,000,000. it was said. The Two “Healer#.” but “Elijah” had, prior to his death, drawn upon it for one-half for use in building Zion City, near Chicago. A short time before "Elijah" died, went the narrative, he entrusted his brother with the secret of the hiding j place, known to no other person, and i it was for the purpose of financing an expedition to go after the buried j treasure that "Doctor Dowie and "Bishop" Schrader wished to find I $1,200. At the time of reposing the confi dence in the St. Joseph real estate j agent, however, he was not in position i to put up the money, and he began ! to look for someone who would ad vance the cash to him for a few weeks, for it was said that the trip to the island would not take long, although it was stipulated by Dowie and Schrader that it be made over land to the coast of Honduras. It happened that the assistant pros ecuting attorney of Buchanan county ! heard of the proposition. He caused ! a warrant to issue for the arrest of the healers, and they were locked in the county jail. The day following the arrest of ^ Dowie and Schrader, and before their preliminary hearing, a bondsman signed their bonds for SI.000 each, after they had paid him $200 in cash An hour or two after they were re leased from the jail the surety was advised that the healers had gone : across the Missouri river bridge. He , grabbed a shotgun, jumped into an | automobile and hurried after them They were overhauled at Wathena six miles west of St. Joseph, forced I to enter the automobile and return and were then delivered to the jailer j Snake in a Mail Bag. Butler. Pa—It has become known that for three weeks the federal gov ernment has been on the trail of a snake. Postoffice Inspector George W. Craighead of Pittsburg has been assigned to the case upon complaint of Miss Mildred Turk, postmistress of Hilliards. that she found the reptile three feet long—in a sack which was thrown off the train here. Both Miss Turk and h$r young wom an assistant fled from the postoffice at the discovery, but later the post mistress returned and pluckily killed the intruder. Railway postal clerks are being examined, but declare their innocence, and say the reptile must have crawled into the bag while it isy on the station platform. AUTO RUNS INTO 616 BEAR IN T WOODS OF MAINE : Bruin Is Knocked r«wn by Motor Car And Is Very Badly Scared. Bangor. Me.—Running into a large black bear in the highway near the town of LaGrange a motor car. In which were Mr. and Mrs. Kdwin L. Hopkins and John P. Fhssett. ail of New York, and Miss Marian Gordon of Disputing the Right of Way. Philadelphia, was ditched. The occu pants escaped uninjured, and the bear disappeared in the woods. The car was running at high speed when the animal rose on its haunches in the middle of the road. There was not room to pass and the car struck the bear squarely, carrying it along, growling, on the hood of the car. un til a bad place in the road threw it off. In falling the bear went under ; the wheels. As soon as the automobile party dis covered that the bear was as fright ened as they were, and was making ; tracks for the wods. they righted the ! car and proceeded to this city on j their way to New York. __ t BUSTLE WAS USED AS A BANK _ When Article of Apparel Went Out of Date Woman Then invested Money. St. Louis.—When bustles went oul of style Mrs. Ollie Mackler. who had carried for twenty-five years more than $15,000 in bills of $1,000 denom ination in that article of apparel, hav ing no other way to dispose of the money, invested it in real estate and [ coal mines. In consequence of this effective con cealment of her fortune she is having a tragic difficult in convincing the world that $75,000 worth of property is her own and was not given to her by her husband, John Mackler, to de fraud his creditors. She is fighting in ; three courts to retain the property. Until Jesse W. Sikes, trustee in ; bankruptcy of the estate of John i Mackler. filed suit to recover this j property and caused her story to be ' dragged into the courts, she was known only as an ordinary housewife, doing her own work and receiving small spending money from her hus band. Year after year she lived as if she t were having the same hard struggle i with life as her neighbors, and was j heard frequently to complain, when trouble overtook her. that she did not know what she would do. In hex younger years she worked as a gen eral servant and seamstress. All that time she carried money and jewelry that would have outglittered the mod | est fortunes of her employeis. COW BREAKS UP AUCTION Animal Resents Being Sold for $73, and Dashes Into Crowd, In juring Several. La Fayette. Ind.—A Jersey cow. at apparently docile animal, nearly caused a panic during a sale at the 1 Guy Stockton farm, on the Dayton road east of the city. An auctioneer had just sold the cow ■ to the highest bidder for $73 when th< animal made a lunge Into the crowd gathered in the barnyard. Dr. T. S Motter was knocked down and his lee cut, and Georgia, the twelve-year-old daughter of Mr. Stockton, received s fractured arm. Frank Baer was thrown and bruised, and Smith Me Clure, Eli Brodsky, Jack Brady and several others were knocked down and trampled on. The cow fled across the fields and was captured after much trouble. Man Whips Three Bears. Basin. Wyo.—While Jesse Slaughter a ranchman, was cooking supper at his camp in the mountains, three bears rushed out of the brush and charged him. He stunned one with a rock and with his pocket knife man aged to reach its heart before the second bear reached him. No. 2 struck at him.
