in every room was more or less knock

melted and the bolt penetrated the
floor and killed a dog under the porch
and cat on the porch. The bed rooms
were all torn Up. Everything was
tumbled up as though a cyclone had

Magnetic Healer Is Such According to Illinois
Supreme Court.

Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. 2l.-The supreme court
today handed down an opinion that a magnetic
healer is q physician aud not trained nurse
and is entitled to a license.
The opinion was rendered in the case of the

the penalty for practicing medicine without a
license. The case comes from Winnebago
county whore q Judgment was entered in fa-
vor Of the defendant. and was by the appellate
court afhrmed DIR. Gordon was a magnetic
healer and the supreme court finds that the
circuit court erred in instructing the jury to
find for the defendant and that the appellate
court erred in affirming that Judgment and
the judgment of the lower court is reversed
and remanded. the supreme court holding
that magnetic healer is a physician and moi
trained nurse, as insisted on by the defend
ant because he does not use drugs or materia
remedy.

naked and nearly starved Thomas
Madelena and Bennie Poll, Italians
wanted for the murder of James
Heeltin, at Shawmut, January 2S, were
captured in a lonely woods near
Crenshaw, two miles from this place.
The Italians have been pursued and
searched for since the night of the
crime and commissioner of Elk
county and the Shawmut Mining com
pany had offered a reward of $1,000
for their capture. Fellow countrymen,
spurred by vengeance and the large
reward have been securing the country
for miles in search of the fugitives
The pursuing party was composed of
four Italians. under the direction of
Squire Thomas Keys Of this place.
The murderers had been hiding in the
woods since Heeiin was murdered.
They tell pitiable tale of starvation
and suffering.
The murder with which the Italians
are charger was premeditated, and 1t
is supposed they also intended to kill
Thomas Burke, a contractor for whom
Poll had worked. and as Heekin was
with Burke on the night of the mur-
der the Italians selected the wrong
man and shot IIeekin.
