Springfield, Ills, November Am
important decision was handed down
by the Supreme Court to-day which
involves the right of a physician to re-
ceive a fee for giving expert testimony.
The case is that of Dixon VS.. the peo-
pie.
The case grew out of refusal by Dr..
]. N. Dixon, of this city, to give expert
testimony because he had not received
a fee. A woman had sustained injur-
les from defective sidewalk and had
brought suit against the city. DR..
Dixon was called to give an expert
opinion as to whether the injuries sus-
tanned would produce the results which
she claimed He refused to testify I'M
til he was paid a fee as a professional
expert. Judge Creighton held him to
be in contempt and fined him SIS and
Costs.
The case was taken to the Appellate
Court and the decision was affirmed
The Supreme Court affirms the decis-
ions of the lower courts.

MONTANA'S CHAMPION INDIAN
SLAYER.

He Has Made Forty Reds Bite the Dust;
Killed Seven in Single Combat, Five in
Another.
Helena Independent.
Lewis Wetzel, who lived in the west
ern part of Virginia, became noted as
an Indian fighter previous to and dur
ing the Revolutionary war;" remarked
an old timer who was in reminiscent
mood yesterday. HE was a large.
wiry, athletic man, who became an In
dian hunter because Indians had killed
all his nearest kindred in their raids
into the settlements of western Virgin
ia. He possessed d frame that seemed
impossible to tire. and he was con-
sidered the best shot with a rife in all
that country. He killed Indians out
of mere revenge, and he not only killed
them when on the warpath, but when
ever he could engage with them. He
could load his rife running, and there
fore was a dangerous antagonist. He
was one of the few men of the West
who could fire at the edge Of a knife
and cut the bullet in two every time
at distance of ten yards. He enjoyed
his proves, and when in the settle
but hunting Indians he was morose
and disagreeable, and much preferred
to be alone. 1t is said that he even
killed Indian women and children, and
it is well known that he killed Indians
who were ambassadors to the whites
on peaceful errandS. II he ever saw an
Indian that he did not kill, it has not
been recorded. In the upper Ohio river
country his name has been handed
down from father to son, and many
exploits have been told of him which
never appeared in print. There is a
county in West Virginia named after
him, and romances have been written
whose heroes have his character.
Montana has man now living
whose career has been something like
that of WetZel. He has not probably
killed as many Indians, but that has
not been his fault. He is said to have
slain at least forty redskins, and he has
not been particular what tribe they
belonged to or where they were. He
has taken as great risks in killing In
dians as Wetzel ever did. The reason
of his hatred for the whole Indian
race was the killing of favorite
brother in a family of seven or eight
boys by Piegans. He was good shot,
and used Winchester rifle instead of
the old muzzle-loading fiint-lock rifle
that Wetzel carried. He is David War
cham, of Fergus county.
81 have heard accounts of but two
of his battles, but no doubt history
Of others would be just as interesting.
He encountered five bucks, evidently on
the warpath, or horse stealing expedi-
ton. He had not his gun with him,
but he went home, which was not far
off, and returned with it. He sought
a good spot and began firing. The In
dams made fight, but he dropped them
so fast that two started to run away,
but he was too swift for them even,
and every one was killed.
Another time he and pilgrim were
camping out, and in the night the In
dams stole both their horses. They fol-
lowed the Indians, who evidently did
not expect visit from them They
crept up close to the camp and found
the horses tied at the camp. War

conference between miners and operators
to decide the wages TO be paid for min
ing during next year will be held next
month. The miners are preparing a pro-
gramme for a decided advance, while the

Ratchford, president of the United Nine

claim for 10 cents ton as the mining rate

should not be advanced, and will make an
effort to retain Go cents ton as the figure
for next year.
