= healer, created sensation here, the like
i of which has not been recorded since,
Z though something bordering on it was
developed but recently through the me-
dunn of court trial in which a disciple
, of Confucius figures asa good Samatarian,
accepting the testimony of a dozen wit
nesses, with number to hear from. The
patients of Roe Chang are not host of
poor Mexican people such as worshipped
at the shrine of the healer, but promi-
neDt and reputable class of citizens who
pin their faith on the merits of tea ex-
tracted from herbs, roots and bark i'm
ported from China and prepared by
Chang for along list of patients, in the
main ladies. Some of these have trav-
eled long distances to secure the aid of
Chang in wiping out diseases. 1t was
noticeable that the ladies were partiou.
larly anxious to give testimony and in no
case WIS it apparent that Chang asked
for pay and that, although some of the
patients had taken from IL to Is doses,
they have not yet added to Changes ex-
chequer. None regretted what dinero
they had rendered and only felt sorry they
were not able to produce more. The |
jury in the case were divided in their
opinion as to Chang's guilt on charge
of practicing medicine without a certifi-
cate. A new panel will be gone through |
but it is not likely the case will be re.
opened before Tuesday morning. The

inforce the testimony already adduced.
The chances are that the next six tried
and true men will fail to find and that the
matter will furnish trial after trial. A
genuine sensation has been created out of
this, test case.

Three days more of suspense will be
felt by the "office" people in particular, for
it is generally understood that Los An

new desks somewhere on the Santa Fe
system. Indications point to an in I
crease in the mechanical department at
Albuquerque. e
