CONVINCING PROOF
The Average Phoenix Citizen Must
Accept the Following Proof.

The great Sir Isaac Newton. one Of
the most profound reasoners the world
ever produced, once cut a large hole
in Il board fence to allow a faVorite cat
access 10 two gardens. and cut 4
smaller hole to allow her kitten to fol
low her. The weakness manifested in
Sir Isaacs action was due to want CT
thought. Any reader Who matalIy de
bates the proof offered here about
Deans Kidney Pills and arrives at any
other conclusion than that stated in this
citizens statement is as short of rea-
soning powers as the philosopher when
he turned carpenter.
Mr.. J. S. Wood. Acct. in the St. Louis
Label Works, living at 306 Morgan
Street, st. Louis, says: My old home
is in Quincy, ILL.,, place where Doan's
Kidney Pills are 4 household necessity.
When l first came to St. Louis several
druggists on whom | called did not
have them in stock and I sent to an old
friend, Il pharmacist in Quincy, for
them. l had attacks of kidney COM
plant for five or six years. causing my
back to ache just across the loins. |

HE WAS PICTURESQUE
George E. Littell Who Took the
Town of Phoenix in.

George e. Littell whose arrest at San
Francisco was mentioned in the Repub-
lican yesterday morning was one OF
the most picturesque of the horde OF
sWindlers who have invaded this town
in the last half dozen years. 1t IS
learned that he went directly to Homo
lulu and was probably already on the
beat when the warrant for his arrest
was sworn out. The search for him
had ceased and if he had kept out OF
trouble at San Francisco. or if the
papers there had been d little less yell
low. he would not have attracted amy
notice here. The offense fer which he
was arrested there was not serious
enc, and anywhere else in the world
would have received mere mention
which would not have aroused any
interest But according to custom in
San Francisco he was photographed
and his Offense enlarged upon so that
he was easily recognized as the man
who had done Phoenix.
Littoll was too much OF a plunger and
too reckless to keep up d long criminal
career. Otherwise he is an artist His
very recklessness deceived his i'll
tended victims. One OF his earliest
performances here was to hire private
secretary and borrow his money. Then
ne went to gambling on a scale which
had net been Witnessed in Phoenix
since the adjournment OF the Twenty
first legislature. At one time he was
$3.50 ahead Of the game, but he did
not stay ahead over night. and he could
never get another start. 1t was after
this that he began to get fraudulent
checks and drafts clSbnd All the

Hundreds Of High school students and
their parents and friends crowded into the

building early Friday afternoon to witness
the unwilling OF the new statue OF Winged
Victory and to hear the ceremonies in con-
nection with its presentation to the High

So large was the assemblage that the
crowd overlooked the hallway and extended
up the stairways and down the corridors.
Watson Smith, president Of the senior class,
made the presentation speech in brief and
neatly worded phrases and the response
came from A.. H. Waterhouse, principal Of
the High school. Miss Mary Bedweli, vice
president Of the class, unveiled the statue,
which proved to be Of heroic proportions
and handsome and imposing as we'll. It
Will be left permanently In the center Of
the main hall. where It stood during the
ceremonies, an enduring monument to the

NOT QUIET AT BABY FARM
Witnesses against Mrs. Burget Tell
of s~pankings and Conse-
queRt HOwls.

The case Of Mrs. Burget. charged with
cruelty to two babies in her charge. was
called yesterday and after the testimony
Of several witnesses was heard. was con-
tinued. Tn substance OF the testimony
was that Mrs. Burget had frequently
spanked babies 8 weeks old. had given
them too much paragoric and that on one
occasion she had spanked an obstreperous
young miss OF 3 weeks and had then thrown
It in a bed.
One witness stated that the babies were
given no attention during the night and the
two babies in question had sores on their
backs from neglect. Another witness testi-
ned that for hve weeks she had been unable
to sleep more than an hour out OF every
twenty-four because OF the babies crying
during the night. THE only thing she ever
did for them said the Witness" was to
give them whisky. and this seemed to make

FORCES DOOR TO GET BODY
Coroner Bradley Breaks Into Room Where
Donald Eller Lies.
AUTOPSY PERFORMED DESPITE PROTEST
Examination of Body Held During
Absence of Judge Filler and
Against Protest of Dead
Boys Sister.

AT 10 yesterday morning DR.. W. r. Law
ender went to the home OF Judge Eller for
the purpose Of making a post norton ex-
animation OF the body Of Donald Eller.
Judge Eller was absent from home at the
time and the doctor was refused admittance
to the room where the body lay. Coroner
Bradley Joined the doctor soon after and
insisted on being allowed to hold q post
mortem. Miss Leone Eller, the judges
daughter, asked them to wait till her father,
who had been telephoned for. should re-
turn, but they declined. On being refused
the key, Coroner Bradley forced the door to
the room where the body lay and DR.. Law
ender performed the autopsy.
DR.. Lavender gave II as his opinion that
the boy died from p~eritonitis, the result Of
appendicitis.
The coroner and doctor left the premises
before the return of Judge Eller.
Miss EIIer's story.
Miss Filler stated that when Coroner
Bradley arrived she informed him that her
father had gone to town, but would be back
In twenty-five minutes. 81 told him that
l would not admit him to the room during
my fathers absence" said Miss Eller, "but
that they could wait until his return. The
coroner said. We are in a hurry, and I
know h he will say anyhow, SO we will
go on with the examination He then asked
me for the key to the room and / refused
It. He pulled the bolt on the door and
opened 1t without breaking the lock. Both
the doctor and the coroner then went Into
the room and examined the body. Presently
the coroner came out and asked me for some
water to wash his hands. and l gave It to
him, with the understanding that / was not
assisting him. Later he came for a bowl
OF water and said he wanted to clean up the
muss they had made in the room. / re-
fused him this and told him to let the muss
remain. They did so. While the men were
here my brother went across the street to
the telephone and called for father and was
told that he would be at home as soon as
he could get here. l insisted on the cor
oner waiting until his arrival. assuring him
that father would be here In twenty-five
minutes. He refused, however, and went
on with the examination. Besides myself

He laid the paper on the table and a roll

go before a notary at once or call one to
the house, saying further that he didn't
believe either Duquette or his wife would
ever be called into court, but II they were
he would give each $3.50 extra The am
davit was in support OF Porter's allegations
concerning Edholm. Duquette read the am
davit and refused to sign 1t, saying he knew
Of no such occurrence, but Porter left the
affidavit and told him to think over the
offer.
February 3 they met again in front Of
the postofice and Porter asked him to walk
to his office, saying: i've got to get out
OF this deal and you're the man who can
help me out. / understand you are a friend
Of Fred Hans. AID Hans has referred you
to me. saying that anything you did or
started to do you went through with and
came out best. You're Just the kind of a
man / want" Duquette repeated that he
wouldn't sign and that his wife had refused
to have anything to do with It. Porter
asked to have the anidavit back and
Duquette said he had burned It.
Detective Has Other Evidence.
He had not burned 1t. however, and De-
tective Donohoe secured It a few days later
when called into Edholm's store. where the
Duquettes had called to let Edholm know
what Porter was doing. Donohoe stated
yesterday that he knows of two other
similar afidavits and that one Of them has
been signed by an enemy of Edholm's.
One is in Sioux City and another in Dead
wood. The testimony OF Mrs. Duquette is
largely corroborative of that OF her hus-
band, as given above.
At the federal building Assistant District
Attorney Rush said: THE Porter case will
be called next week and II the defendant Is
not present we will declare the bond for
feited and Immediately proceed against the
bondsmen. We had decided TO let the state
have the first trial at the man. but II It
is to let the matter drag along we will
take a hand right away I think we will
be able to locate him and then we will
have the active assistance OF the bondsmen.
