RADIJJr1 is SAID
TO CURE CANCER

London, July 20.-The scientific sensa-
ton of the present is the announcement
that a tenth part of grain of radium
in glass tube the size of a toothpick.
when introduced into cancer, will kill
the cancer in four exposures OF an
hour each. A similar infinitesimal
grain of radium will, it is declared, IL
illuminate room for century, and
an ounce of radium would drive all the
horsepower motors around the world.
The hunt for radium promises to be the
twentieth century equivalent for the
search for the philosophers stone
DR.. Mackenzie Davidson, the noted
1 surgeon of Charing Cross hospital, an
nounced that he had successfully cured
a case of superficial cancer by means OF
radium. Dr. Davidson is treating two
other cases and promises success in
each one. DIR. Davidson said that ra-
dunn proved successful and effective
with superficial cancer, but cannot say
lit will cure internal cancers, as he has
not experimental with them yet and
d ks not want to raise false hopes.
The case Dr. Davidson cured was
rodent cancer of the nose, after un-
successful treatment by X-rays The
cancer was exposed to radium, four ex-
posures Of an hour each. given at inter
walls of few days. In three weeks the
diseased part was healing satisfactory
ly, and in six weeks, with two more ex-
posures, the cancerous growth disap-
peared, not leaving scar to remember
it by. DR.. Davidson said warningly:,
I'VE have only treated superficial can
Ger with the wonderful radium. What
1t will do with internal cancer remains
to be seen"

convicted murderers, were shot to
death in their cells in the Big Horn
county Jail shortly after o'clock this
morning by mob of thirty men.
Deputy County Clerk c. E. Price was
instantly killed and Deputy Sheriff
George S. Mead was wounded.
Mead and Price, who had been depu-
tized to guard the prisoners, were sit
jng in the sheriff's Office. Thinking
1Eaat the deputies had gone away, the
1lynchers fired a fusillade of shots
through the windows and battered
down the doors Mead and Price fell
at the first fire. the bullet that wound
ed Mead passed through Prices heart,
killing him instantly The mob was
unable to batter down the cell doors, SO
they riddled German and Walters with
bullets.
One bullet of the first volley fired
grazed Meads shoulder and entered
Prices heart, killing him instantly
Members OF the mob then. quickly pro-
cured the telephone pole and battered
the Jail doors down. They first came to
Walters. who was crouched in his cell,
piteously begging for mercy. No need
