AXTELL CONTINUES TO FLOURISH.
His Church Troubles Get a Rest While He
Cures Sick Baby.

His Church Troubles Get kest WINE he
Cures IA Sick Baby.
Detroit, April i. - The "scrappy'
Royal Oak minister, Rev. j. j. AXtell,
who won a fight and notoriety and lost
his church at the same time, is daring
fame again in another role. He deeply
feels the conduct Of his church in turn
ing him out, and at the same time he
denies it's authority TO expel him. The
membership is not very large-just
twelve women and two men. Early
Saturday afternoon he went to the
church and broke a pane of glass, I'M
locked the window and crawled into
the church, which he got in readiness
for Sunday. The women heard about
this latest move of the minister and
they hurried to the place Of worship.
This time they nailed up all the win
dows and locked the door again.
There is no telling what would have
happened had not AXtell been sum-
mOned to attend sick baby in the
Knowles family. This baby was given
up by the regular family doctor, and
was restored to health by AXtell, and
he has earned the gratitude of at
least one family. His system includes
the use of home remedies, the laying
on of hands. or massage and prayer.
He scouts the charge that he is a
Christian Scientist. and insists that his
prayers are supplementary aids to the
remedies administered by him.

Col. Richardson's Release.
Colonel Richardson's release from
duty in the adjutant generals office,
which was made public yesterday, is
creating no end Of comment as the an
nouncement becomes public. Both he
and General Case are out of the city,
but Richardson's friends are highly
incensed and say that his frankness
before the grand jury is entirely re-
sponsible for it, as his work in the
office has been Of the most efficient
and panstaking character.
Case Not i'm the Military Deal.
On the other hand, General Case has
been completely exonerated from any
blame or connection with the military
board frauds, and it can hardly be said
that he would release Richardson for
any information he gave the jury. 1t
is known that several hundred dollars
worth of military board Transports
ton issued by Richardson in his ca
pacity as assistant adjutant, was
charged to him after the frauds were
made public, and the new members OF
the board took hold. and his salary
has been held up for two months.
