DR. AxteIIe Called Upon to Attend
Ralph Blood.

DIR Axtelle Called Upon to Attend
Ralph Blood.
1t is now twelve days since Ralph
Blood, the insane sewing machine re-
pairer, has tasted food and to-day he is
as firm in his determination not to eat
as ever. Last night he said that per.
haps the spirits would allow him to eat
little to-day, but this morning that
notion had left him and he could not be
induced to take nourIshment.
DIR Axtelle visited Blood this forenoon
aud tried in every way to induce him to
drink a little milk. He refused and
would have nothing whatever to do with
the doctor. .'Milk is not for me-" he
said. What want is water, water,
touch it. The spirits have commanded
and l must obey" He then talked
wildly of saloons, drug stores and doc
tors, until he sank exhausted upon his
bed.
DRINKS TWO GLASSES OF MILK
DIR Axtelle paid Blood another visit
this afternoon. Two reporters accom-
panied him. The room door was locked
and Blood refused at first to open it,
but after a little persuasion he opened
the door. THE doctor is no friend~of
mine." was his first remark. Look at
this blanket he gave me to put on nv

He passed the blanket around to those
present to smell of it. No one disputed
his word, although there was no truth
III his statement. DR. Axtelle
then offered him some milk, but he turn
ed away in disgust saying milk belongs
to COW, am no calf, 1 am going to
commence tomorrow to build myself
up. l will do my own cooking and /
have my own herbs and medicines"
DR. Axtelle told him that he would have
to force it down his throat unless
he took it quietly. "An right" was the
reply, Il Will never take it willingly"
DIR Axtelle prepared his pump and then
induced Blood to sit in a chair. At this
point the doctor said: Are you not a
Freemason," i. and the reply was Eyes
sir. Then they sent me here to look after
you" This seemed to interest him for
he said ! 'fDo you mean square"
"Why certainly" was the reply.
By this time a glass of
milk was handed to him and reluct-
antly he placed it to his lips. He
slipped it slightly and then tried to pass
it back. The doctor told him it
was for his good and it was on the
square and he then slowly drank it
down. Another glass was handed to
him which he also drank. Blood then
thanked the doctor, but said he thought
that the doctors were trying to
prove him insane and were working
against him. Another pint of milk will
be given to him this evening and by to-
morrow more solid food will he admin
istered.

THAT CONFIRMATION.

Last week, by the commission OF
several lines from q paragraph re-
lating TO the trade between Glenn's
Ferry and Mountain Home regard
ing the county seat issue, the COM
positor made a serious blunder
The paragraph was written and
should have appeared as follows:
But the supposed combine" be-
tween Pine Grove and Glenn's Ferry
was knocked into smithereens at
Mountain Home short time ago.
II seems that number of the lead
ing citizens of Glenn's Ferry visited
Mt. Home and hsld a regular pub
lie love-feast with the prominent
men of that town, after which they
met in secret conclave and entered
into bargain to the effect that
Glenn's Ferry precinct would vote
solid for Min. Home for county
seat, and i'm return Mountain Home
precinct would, irrespective of party
affiliations, bodily support Glenn's
Ferry candidates for Auditor and
Recorder and for Probate Judge
also any other candidates from the
Ferry.
