About His License.
STEPHEN PURINGTON'S WILL
From the Altar to the Grave-A Deputy
sheriff Dismissed-h Candidate by
Petit;cr-school Vacation.

Dut referred tne cdllef 10 MS dttolHcJ.
The intimation was that he proposed to
appeal to the law concerning the action of
the State Board of Medical Examiner - ?
He declared few weeks ago that his
license could not be revoked, but somehow
the board held different opinion.
The next time patient dies under the
doctors" song and prayer treatment he
will be liable to prosecution.
At the time Mrs. Lester Buss and child
died on his hands lie regretted very much
that The CALL exposed the matter, as other
wise the public, perhaps, would not have
known of it.
The publication in THE CALL of the
death OF Mrs. Buss was the cause of charges
being preferred against him and Of the
ultimate revocation Of his license to allow
Others to die through neglect. Aside from
the charge in relation to the treatment of
Mrs. Buss nine others were made.
The will of Stephen Purington, de-
ceased, was filed for probate yesterday by
c. o. Miller, who is named as executor. 1t
disposes of property worth $4,000. Frances
Lowell, a niece, and w. 4. Brown, a
nephew, get $4,000 each. To Mrs j. II.
Haskell, sister, is bequeathed $1,000, and
the rest is equally divided among other
nieces and nephewS.
The Peoples party editor, G. Z. Howe of
the Populist. who Is variously dubbed
major" Colonel" and Captain" is get
ting on hand a good stock of household
articles and goods. He recently camped
with his family of six in vacant square at
Harrison and Eleventh streets. The fact
was duly printed in the papers, and ever
since then there has been a steady stream of
callers at the tent with donations. Enough
money has been given TO enable the Populist
to come out as usual. Readers of the paper,
which is brimful of the doctrine of ''eanal
rights to ALL need not fear but that il
will reach their hearthstGnes on time.
There are plenty of good SaD,artans who
have not passed on the other side, and the
major, colonel or captain who has camped
in tent in the he rt of big city with his
family of six, including two able-bodied
sons, well up IN their teens, will at least be
able to thatch his tent by the time the rainy
season sets in.
The glory has departed of Deputy Sheriff
Macy, the OLD sleuth of Department of the
Superior Court His bright smile will 10
longer greet Judge Henshaw's big New
foundland cog as the latter enters each
morning 10 sit upon the bench with his
master. Somebody else viii call ''Oh. yez
oh, yez" in DEPARTMENT 2 and lower the
windows al the Judg's bidding He is not
dead but fired The Sheriff yesterday
asked him to resign. 1t made the major mad
and he told the Sheriff TO get another man.
but others say that "Old Sleuth" Macy
supported ID. W. Martin as a candidate fer
Sheriff, which is the real reason. Mr..
Macy is genius when it comes to serving
the public, however, and the County Clerk
will put him TO work at copying names on
the new register until Mr.. Martin is
elected. when, perhaps, he will resume his
old place as the associate Of Sheriff HuSsey,
who, it is said, viii also be deputy.
