A GIRL’S WEIRD
A New Hampshire Girl Whose Case
Puzzles the Doctors—Charged With
Shooting Sweetheart.
Hanover, N. H„ May 19.—“What
weird hypnotic power is possessed by
this girl?" This is the question that
all the people of this section have
been asking in regard to Ethel Sturte-
vant, a 17-year-old girl, who was given
a preliminary hearing at Haverhill to
day on a charge of being Implicated In
the shooting of her sweetheart, Jesse
Barden.
Whatever , the outcome of the case
may be It will be a long time before
the neighborhood ceases to talk of
"The Wonder Child,as the girl is
called. Her mother, whose mysteriouB
death three years ago, with the ensu
ing inquest, brought Ethel firBt before
the public gaze, declared that the girl
had been poisoned; others claimed
that she had been hypnotized, but
medjcal men, though puzzled, clung to
the theory that she was afflicted with
some disease akin to epilepsy.
Sinking into strange hypnotic
trances and evolving poetry and prose
on subjects far beyond her sane ken,
again dreaming placidly and afterward
averring Bhe had spdken with spirits;
at other times writhing In horrible
convulsions, cursing, tearing her hair
and often attempting suicide, the
Btrange child seemed to be dominated
by some fiendish mentality. In her
normal state she was clever, though
not precocious, bright and winsome.
The circumstances surrounding the
shooting which haB again brought her
Into the limelight arc as mysterious as
the other factB which have marked her
young life. The shooting took place
some three weeks ago, the victim be
ing Jesse Barden, a young farmer boy
who had paid court to Miss Ethel. He
turned up at his tome with a bullet
embedded In his lung. For a week or
more his life was despaired o'f. He
accused his sweetheart of the crime,
while she as stoutly denied It. She
was arrested, and on the long night
ride to the county prison, the unusual
girl joked and twitted the sheriff and
appeared to be In the highest spirits.
There Is a general feeling that the girl
will be dismissed and left free to fur
ther mystify the community with her
weird and inexplicable powers.

EARLY FIRE IMPLEMENTS.
Appliances Used In This Country la
the Seventeenth Century.
Undoubtedly the first fire company
organized la this country was formed
In New York In 1058. It was called the
Prowlers and was composed of eight
men, with 250 buckets, books and small
ladders. Wbcre the buckets were ob
tained and whether or not they were
In addition to those owned by the town
tho rocords fall to state. In 1079 Salem
purchased two or three dozen cedar
buckets, besides hooks nfid other Im
plements; also the selectmen and two
others were authorized to take com-,
mnnd at fires and to blow up and pull
down buildings when such action was
necessary. This practice appears to
have been much more common before
the use of engines than afterward.
Boston on Sept. 0, 1070, ordered that
every quarter of the town should bo
provided with twenty swobes, two
scoopes and six axel). Tbo swobes, or
swabs, aB "they ate now called, wero
long handled mops that could bo used
to put out roof fires. Tbe general use
of swabs has long since disappeared,
but when a slight blaze Is beyond the
-reach of a pall of water and more Im
proved apparatus Is not at band a
long handled mop Is today tho most ef
ficient article to be used. In Japan
these swabs may be seen on many roof
tops.
In 1690 New York ordered that five
ladders and also hooks be made. In
Philadelphia no mention Is made of
public precaution against firo until
1696, when a law was pnssed forbid
ding tho firing of chimneys or allowing
the same to become foul. Ench house
was to havo a swab, bucket or pall.
Another act was passed In 1700 order
ing every household to have two leath
er buckets. In the following year six
or eight hooks for tbe purpose of tear
ing down bouses were ordered to be
made.
