Everybody in Butte remembers
'Veno, the healer" whose other name
was D. n. Dickinson and the thrilling
! and varied experiences he had in Butte
| while trying to keep out of the peni-
tertiary.
| Recently the Salt Lake papers We're
| filled with glaring advertisements of
Mayo, the healer" The same language
and pictures of the great healer'' as
he appeared before the crowned heads
of Europe were used that had ap-
' peared in the Butte advertisements of
| "Neno" The methods of the two "heat-
| ers" We're identical and the conclusion
| was forced that Mayo and NenO We're
! the same person. His wind-up III Salt
Lake is thus related by the Herald:
! H. N. Mayo. who came to Salt Lake
, some weeks ago and opened headquar-
| ters for the cure of nearly all the dis
eases in the catalogue, has left the city,
and his present Whereabouts is un-
known. The departure took place on
/ Thursday.
Yesterday his outfit of medicine and
some other things at the Kenyon were
attached by one of the creditors for an
account amounting to S2150. DR.. Nor
ris. the regular physician who has been
practicing under Mayo's management.
paid the account with costs and the at
tachment was released.
Nearly every day since his advent in
Salt Lake, Mayo had been doing an i'm
mense business. Patients flocked to his
rooms and many claimed to have re-
ceived great benefits from the treat
ment administered to them. All kinds
of cases were taken and Dr. Norris said
loo ifc1,t e,t two tod tl.a,l No
regular way.
Some time ago Eli A. Folland secre-
| tary of the city board of health, swore
out warrant charging Mayo with
practicing medicine without license.
Mayo put up a bond of $50 in Justice
Summers court and went on doing
business as before. The hearing of
the case has been postponed from
time to time, and now it is set for to-
| morrow.
Whether or not Mayo will appear re-
mains to be seen. When he went
away he told DR.. Norris that he would
return within day and d half, and
that he was going south to look after
company of medicine men ne has on
the road. .-
Il don't believe he will come back
said Dr. Norris last night. Il don't be-
lieve he could be convicted on the
charge against him. but-it doesn't look
as if he intended to face it. Swipes,
his massage man, left, saying that
he was going TO Ogdan. He took one
of Mayo's trunks and a mannikin with
him. a.4 Gm.

him, to be physcian.~but he never
showed me any diplomas. l couldn't t

practiced medicine here in the regular
way and have never used any of Mayo's
medicines. ! don't know what is in
them. Mayo has done the business and

II shall close the Office Wednesday if
he has not returned by that time. He
has left nothing of valuehere and even
if he does return, | shall not work for
him any longer
Dr. Norris added that Mayo had not
engaged in the practice of medicine
since he had been associated with
him.
