CLAIMS TO RESTORE LIFE
scientist Has Powder That DrInes
Dead Animals to Life.

DR.. c. W. Littlefeld of Alexandria,
who for fifteen years has been pursu-
ing his Investigations Of the vital
principles of life, experimenting with
cats, dogs. monkeys and other lower
animals, has at last made known the
result Of his work. He makes the as
sertion that he can restore life. He
asserts that the principle of life, in
substance, is volatile magnetism.
In demonstrating his theory, the
doctor employs a solution of saline
origin, with salt as the basis. saturat-
ed with oleo resin and exposed for
several hours to an atmosphere Of
free ammonia. Having secured this
salins solution, DIR. Littieheld reduces
1t to powder. 1t is this powder that
he has employed throughout his long
course of experiments.
For instance, having put to death
dog or cat by drowning and allowed
the corpse to remain long enough to
convince anyone following his inves-
LEGATIONS that all life is extinct, Df.
Littlefeld takes the corpse and With
out preparation of any kind, places
1t upon heated stone or porcelain
plate. brought to q temperature cor
responding to that Of the normal body,
and covers 1t thoroughly with . light
layer of the powder.
Within three or four minutes from
the time the powder has been coated
over the dead body signs Of life man
ifest themselves, and within fifteen
minutes after the resuscitating meth
DDS were begun in every instance. the
subject has returned to normal life.
A cat remained dead two hours. and
during this time was allowed to re-
main In the hot sup until rigor mortis
had set in. The corpse was then
placed upon the heated porcelain and
powder applied, and the animal re-
turned to consciousness within five
minutes.
The magnetic influence can easily
be seen by placing a drop Of the liquid
with minute particles Of solid SUBJ
stance In 1t under microscope. The
particles can be seen flying back and
forth with indescribable energy and
life.

Sheridan Inn between the hours Of II
O'Clock q. m. and 3 o'clock p. m., to-
day.
Mr.. Boal had Just returned from the
Chicago market, where he had accom-
panied a trainload Of cattle last week.
In the early forenoon of to-day he min
gled with the guests Of the hotel and his
subsequent absence was passed unno-
ticed. About o'clock in the afternoon
Manager Morgan had occasion to enter
the room occupied by Mr.. Boal and
found the latter lying on the bed with
a sponge and cloth saturated with chlo>
reform covering the nose and mouth.
Mr.. Morgan telephoned for DR.. Newell.
who arrived few minutes later, but
found that life was extinct.
Mr. Boal came to Wyoming from
Chicago In 1894 and has been promi-
nent cattleman Of this section and east
ern Montana for a number of years. He
was married November 2S. 1888. to
Miss Arta, Oldest daughter of Col. W.
F. Cody. who. together with their two
children, Clara and Cody. survive him.
Mrs. BO0l and the children are In Kan
sas City. where the latter are attend
ing school. Boal was about forty years
of age.
Before ending his earthly career Mr..
Boal indited three letters, one to his
wife. one to Hon. H. c. Alger and one
to Howard French, proprietor of the
Sheridan and his very firm personal
friend. Those to Mrs. Boal and to Mr..
Alger have not yet been opened. The
one addressed to Mr.. French reads as
follows:
Friend Howard: Excuse this trouble
I am about to make in your house, but
l will have to make use OF your hospi-
tality in this way for the last time.
and would rather be close to friends in
a thing OF this sort than among strang-

The coroner has announced that in
his opinion an inquest IS unnecessary,
and none will be held. The body will
be shipped to Chicago for interment.
