WAS Il IN
HALLUCINAT ION?
Death of Mr. Arthur Who Be-
lieved That a Needle
Crippled Him,
ONCE A VIGOROUS MAN
Physician Believes That He
Labored Under a
DaIuSioH.
ONCE A VIGOROUS MAN

! The end Of strange case came yester-
day with the death. at St. Francis hos
pital of E. L. Arthur, who has been for
the past few years a citizen Of promi-
nence in Wichita.
Mr.. Arthur believed that his death re-
suited from a part Of a broken needle.
Was he right? Or was it an hanucina-
ton?
Many Of his friends believe. as Arthur
believed, that it was a small steel frag-
ment which led to his pitiabls undoing
and final dissolution.
Mr.. Arthur. when he first began suffer-
ing with his hip, insisted that years be.
fore, in Ohio. he had broken a small nee
die off in his hip; that the missing part
resisted recovery, and that it was still
in his flesh.
When DR.. Bowers, last June, made an
opening in the affected part and made a
careful search for the needle and did not
find it, the physicians who knew of the
case and were interested in it, concluded
that Mr.. Arthur's idea was an halIucina-
ton.
Mr.. Arthur came to Wichita from Steu-
benville, Ohio, u years ago. He was a
particularly active, middle-aged man, who
was not daunted by any task. After he
had been here awhile, he began limping
He blamed it on the needle which he sat
down upon back in Ohio, and broke He
slowly got worse, and was presently on
clutches. As the trouble increased, he
was barely able to drag himself along
the streets, and when he did so, the pic
ture Of once agile man, broken and
crushed. was a pathetic one. He was an
old soldier a member Of Co. A, 1S6th Ohio.
Last Memorial Day, Mr.. Appling Captain
Burgess and Mr.. George Wells took him
to the hospital. On June Dr.. Bowers
operated on the hip. DR.. Bowers said last
night that he found a tubercular affec-
ton Of the joint. and a quantity of pus
and diseased bone was taken away. He
says there was no sign Of part of a
needle, which he would have come across
in all probability in the case.
The patient made a hard fight for life.
He wanted to live, but three weeks ago
it was found that he could not survive,
and his old friend and comrade, Mr.. APP
ping, was selected to tell him the woful
word.
Mr.. Appling informed him gently that
he could not get well. The sick man
showed wonderful resignation, and said
that he was not saved; that he desired a
minister
Mr. Appling brough Rev Harmon, who
prayed for the sick man. They also sang
together. and in the end the old soldier,
who had always been a good man, Of
noble impulses, was content.
Yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock he
passed away. The funeral viii take place
from Gills, next Saturday morning at
10 o'clock. Rev. \. +. Harmon will per-

and the trouble over the piano is said to
have arisen in consequence.
Mrs. Wetz stated that she did sell the
piano for her friend and had been given
power of attorney by Mrs. Keefe to do
SO. She claims that an agreement was
had between them that Mrs. Wetz, who
was short Of money, could use part Of
/ the receipts from the sale of the piano
until money arrived from the east for
her. She claims further that she paid
Mrs. Keefe's fare from Anaconda and
other points to Butte and has been on the
most friendly terms with the woman. She
could not understand why her friend had
treated her SO, she said.
Mrs. Wetz admitted that she and Mrs.
Keefe had not been on as friendly terms
during the past few days as formerly,
and she thought that Mrs. Keefe's ac-
ton in causing her so much trouble was
due to the little difference.
When Mrs. Wetz was taken to Jail
among the cOlored women, she broke
down and wept frantically. She said
1t was the first time she had ever been
in such a place, and between heart rend-
ing sobs declared that she couldn't un-
derstand how one to whom she had been
SO kind could treat her as Mrs. Keefe
had. The woman stated that she has
witness, who will be produced at the
proper time if necessary, to prove that
Mrs. Keefe agreed ii loan her the money
she secured from the sale of the piano.
While in the city Jail Mrs. Wetz wrote
two notes to friends and passed them
through the bars to be delivered. In re-
Spouse to her request, w. E. r. Mac
donald, manager of the Silver Bow Cop
per company's mines, appeared at the
county Jail, to which Mrs. Wetz had been
in the meantime removed, and secured
her release. Mr.. Macdonald stated that
Mrs. Wetz had been wronged in the
matter. Mrs. Wetz' young son lives
with Mr.. Macdonald at 919 South Main
street.
Mrs. Keefe stated that she felt sorry
last night when she realized what she
had done. She said she would not do
anything further in the case, as every
thing had been satisfactorily settled.
She said she wanted her rights, and that
Mrs. Wetz did not do just right by her.
Mrs. Keefe admitted having given Mrs.
Wetz power of attorney to sell her
piano, but said she did not authorize
her to use the money.
City Detective Murphy, when ques-
toned, said he took the woman into Gus.
tody without a warrant in his possess
sion, but that Mrs. Keefe swore to the
complaint in Judge Olson's court a few
moments afterwards. The books of the
Justices court show that the warrant
was issued at Sis O'clock while the
books of Jailer Levy show that Mrs,
Wetz was received at the Jail at 43O
o'clock, or three-quarters of an hour
prior to the issuing of the warrant for
her arrest.

MURDER CHARGE STRIKERS CAIN

From the effects of an injury sus-
tanned in saloon Drawn last Thursday
morning, Mark Harrington died at the
Sisters of Mercy hospital last night.
Gilbert Gibson, Charles Swanson and
Charles AndeSson, all of whom are said
to have been in one way or another
mixed up in the fight, are now in the
city Jail, charged with murder. The ac-
cused men will be turned over to the
county authorities today.
-Four men,. all more or less battered
up appeared before Judge Boyle in the
police court Thursday morning. They
were Gibson, Swanson and Anderson,
the men now held for murder and Mark
Harrington, who died at the hospital
last night. The first three named were
charged with assault and battery on
Harrington. He was booked on a COM
plant of disturbing the peace.
The fight took place in the Rocky
Mountain saloon at IS East Park street.
Anderson, the bartender at the saloon,
according to the accounts of the fight
plicated to any great extent in the affair,
and he was discharged.
Judge Boyle fined Harrington SO for
alternative.
Gibson and Swanson entered pleas of
mot guilty" and their cases were set
down for hearing at a later date, but
We're afterwards dismissed, as matters
seemed to have been satisfactorily
settled and as nothing serious was ex,
pected from Harringtons injuries.
Harrington's head gave evidence that
he had been pretty roughly handled. He
had an ugly wound. Jailer Sol Levy,
after looking at the wound, concluded
that it was of more serious nature than
at first thought. He summoned the city
Harrington was then taken to the Sis
ters' hospital and died last night at II
o'clock, after considerable suffering from
what later proved to be a fracture of
the skull.
The police department Immediately
started in search of the men who had
engaged in the row in which Harrington
received his wound. and all were placed
under arrest. Anderson was found in
the Rocky Mountain saloon, while Swan.
son was located in a cabin back of the
Hartman house, in Wyoming street.
Gibson was on duty at the Anaconda
arrested.
Harrington has a brother living in
Butte, but the officials had not been able
to locate him up to a late hour.
