"Either a deep laid plot to exter-minate the Hilton M. Towne familyor a hallucination to that effect ex-ists in the household. They claimthey are beset hy some evil omen orthat enemies are trying to wreakvengeance, and this by trying to suf-focate them with some nature of ar-tificial gas. Their home west ofCashmere has been besieged .severaltimes in the past two weeks by nicHprowlers, who, it is claimed, carry

some, form of condensed gas, whichwhen shot under doors or in key-holesovercomes all the occupants of thehouse and leaves them in a suffocatingand partly paralyzed condition. Liv.ing with the Townei are their twolittle children and Mr. ami Mrs. A.IV Henry, all of whom have experi-enced the same sensation
