The Facts.

The Daily Mail on two separate
occasions has seen fit to severely roast
H. c. Smith, Jr. Of Oxford township.
The articles do not attempt to
give the facts but simply because
Smith was charged with the crime OF
cruelty to animals and because Smith
and his father are Populists,
Richards assumes the charge to be
true and proceeds to abuse the young
man. Now the facts are that Smith
is an industrious, and upright young
man, well thought of in the commu-
nifty where he lives. That some two
or three months ago a neighbor, Mr..
H. c. Vandervort, loaned a wild and
unbrOken pony to Mr.. Smith to break
and use. The pony proved to be very
balky aud ugly. About two or three
weeks ago Smith hitched the pony to
a cart to go to town but the pony de-
cided not to 20 and stopped. Upon
being urged to proceed the pony act
ed very naughty and suddenly tumbled
over on his side. Smith did every
thing in his power to get the pony up
but to no avail. Thinking his dog
would bark at the pony and scare him
up, he called the dog and before the
pony could get up the dog had severity
bitten the ponies ears. Any one who
has had any experience with a balky
and ugly horse would not blame Mr.,
Smith for what he did in this case
and we venture to assert that ninety.
nine out Of a hundred men would
have done the same thing. The
secret of this whole thing is that
Mr.. Vandervort discovered that he
could pinch Mr.. Smith and make a
good sale Of a worthless horse. The
county attorney was found to be a
ready assistant and a warrant was
sworn out, Mr.. Smith arrested and
the case set for trial. NeighbOrs in.
tervened and the county attorney
notified them that when Mr.. Wander,
wort was remunerated he would dis
miss the case. Believing it wa:
cheaper to pay Vandervort s35 dam
ages for $40 pony than to employ
counsel and fight the case a settle
ment was made. What we would
would like to know is what per cen
the county attorney charges for max.
ing such collections. -

A TUMOR REMOVED.

]. A. Bookwalter OF this city has
known DR.. Crawford for years. One
of the most remarkable cases, among
the many he relates, was the removal
of a tumor from Mrs. Bookwalter,
which eminent physicians said must
be removed by surgery. DR.. Crawford
removed it in FIVE applications by SIM
ply laying on his hands, thus trans
mitting the vital magnetism with
which he is especially endowed. 1t is
certainly wonderful and mighty
power which he possesses. Yelling

HEREDITARY RHEUMATISM.

The Wellington Daily Mail Of
April Is, 1895, says:
Another case to which our atten-
tion has been called was that Of Frank
Hunter, son Of Geo. Il. Hunter. He
was troubled with rheumatism which
was hereditary and OF the worst type.
At times he was confined to bis bed
and at all times he was in bodily pain.
DR.. Crawford was finally summoned,
and Ia a short time the rheumatism
was dispelled and its former victim is
now a picture Of health. Mr.. Hunter
in speaking to reporter Of his sons

highly. He said, 81 have the

Crawford and the child is well. A
