MILWAUKEE, Aug. A sensational case
of malpractice by female physician came
to light here to-day. A Mrs Thomas, who
advertises as a practitioner and natural
healer. has been having big run of prac-
tlce, and has had on her hands for a few
days woman named Mrs. Ward. This
| woman had suffered so from the treatment
that for several days the people living
near the female physicians residence have
been startled by her heartrending cries,
and they finally called in the;authorities.
| investigation proved that the unfortunate
| patient was being delivered of a child, and
that the physcian's only treatment was
the laying on of hands. The woman, the
| doctors say, cannot live owing to the NAL
practice, and the female natural healer
| will be arrested.
PARDON OF A REFORMED CONVICT.
LOUISVILLE, Aug, 4.-Governor Black
| born to-day pardoned from the peniten-
tiary Clarence Rutherford, sent for life
from Logan county, for a murder COM
mitted in 1881. Rutherford, when first
sent to prison, was insubordinate and
| frequently put in irons for his bad con-
| duct. When the evangelist Geo. o. Barnes
| conducted series of meetings in prison
| IN 1882, Rutherford was one of the prison
ers whom the wife of Gov. Blackburn had
brought to the meeting with irons on as
| he walked into the prison chapel. After
listening to several services, and to the
powerful exhortatious of Barnes, Ruther-
ford, with tears pouring down his cheeks,
dragged his manacied body TO the altar,
and grasping the minister's hand said,
Sod helping me will endeavor to become
better man and dutiful prisoner" Since
then, by the kindly aid of Mrs. Blackburn,
and other ladies of the prison Sunday
school, he has been one of the
best prisoners within it's walls. While
Rutherford was in jail at Russellville Jesse
James and his gang were in the neighbor-
hood and through certain inducements
were led to plan his rescue, but nothing
came of it, owing to the failure of certain
members Of the gang to show up and the
weakening of Rutherford's brother, who
dreaded the cost in bloodshed to fellow.
Rutherford was never thought of in con-
nection with the James gang, those des-
peradoes being simply utilized on account
of their convenient presence.
