O9era ted upon himself

Alderman George NJ. Hartman, of
Savannah, Ca, obayed the injunction
"heal thy self and thereby probably
saved his life says dispatch in the st.
Louis Republic of last week. he had
been reported as dying from blood
poisoning but ism now convalescent.
He owes his life to his own surgical
skill and nerve. Two weeks ago when
his life was despaired OF by the ply
sicians in attendance, he performed a
difficult operation upon himself, being
supported in front of his mirror by his
colored valet, while he welded the
scalpel.
A month ago Doctor Hartman was the
operating surgeon in hospital case
During the operation he in some man
ner scratched the lower part OF his
face, and in time an abscess formed
under the eye.
Doctor Hartman described the pro
gress of the poison to the physicians at
tending him and advised an inclSion
but there were objections. Doctor Har'
man resolved to do the job himself
Weak and emaciated from pain, he in
structed his servant to select certain
instruments from a case in his Office
and bring them to him.
The servant then lifted him from his
bed and held him in his arms before the
mirror while the operation was in pro
gress.
Doctor Hartman ran the lance IRON
the inside of his mouth up almost tC
the eve. The cheek was severed from
the bone. and an opening made so the
poison could drain downward.

FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY

No better or more capable
man could have been selected for
county attorney by the republi-
can convention than Henry
sCass, if it had deliberated all
day, instead of nominating him
by reclamation, without opposi-
ton. Mr.. Grass came to Wenat-
chez two years ago from Eugene,
Oregon, and formed law
partnership with John D. Dill,
since which time this firm has
been represented in nearly all
the important litigation, on one
side or the other. Mr.. Grass is
a young man of high order of
ability and has made an enviable
reputation as a member of the
bar during his residence in We
natchee.
The Office of county attorney
is one of the highest Importance
to the tax payers. Chelan coun-
ty has paid out thousands of dol
lars in court costs since it's or
gapization which might have
been and ought to have been
saved. Every county has a lot
of criminal litigation that grows
out of personal malice. Men will
invoke the criminal law to get
even with some peighbor who
they fancy has done them an in
jury, satisfied if they have Wor-
ried him and made him go to the
expense of attending court and
employing counsel to defend
them, even though no conviction
is had. 1t is within the province
of the county attorney to avoid
most, if not all of this vexatious
and malicious litigation. 1t is
of course the duty of the county
attorney to vigorously prosecute
all criminals, but it is made
equally his duty to avoid putting
the county to unnecessary ex-
pense by frivolous and spiteful
litigation.

WHO walked YOU UP!

Leavenworth has hospital. Mission
doesn't need one.-Fruit Valley Jour-
pai.
Quite right. Nothing going
on in thai sleepy, dreamy Cash
merriam village. Once in while
they rush out and plant few
fruit trees, but even at that they
don't work hard enough to get
up a sweat and take cold and
have to buy medicine-which
partly accounts for them not
having q drug store. In this
thriving town we have mills that
employ hundreds Of men, ma
chine shops that employ other
hundreds, in addition to which
we have still other hundreds en-
ployed in the various occqpa-
tons that go to make up live
town. 1t follows as a matter OF
course where there is SO much
going on that some one will get
hurt. If they do, being an up;
to-date town, we have hospital
for the unfortunates.

The editor of the Fruit Valley
Journal asks if there is any dan
ger of the dam across the We
natchee river at this place not be-
ingable to stand extra high water
this summer. The editor of this
paper never studied the building
of dams, wherefore his opinion
is worth less than a dam site.
The river is damned now, and
we'll damned, we are assured by
the engineer in charge, Mr..
Downing, who understands the
business, but should it fail to
dam the river later on, when the
high water comes, everybody
that has had to do with it will be
damned.

In the Spokesman-Review of
Wednesday appeared a leading
editorial under the head lines
"Buncomb and Claptrap." This

fitting caption for all that vast
amount of editorial stuff which
that paper has printed lately
about Governor Mcbride and his
appointive railroad commission.

The summer session of the
State Normal school opens at
Bellingham on June goth and
closes August LIST. The cost of
taking the summer course is
made very cheap, and according
to the terms Of a circular sent
out the cost of living is also
made extremely low. The OBJ
ject of the summer term is said
to be to offer opportunity for
regular Normal school work to
such teachers as are unable to
attend school during the regu-
lar school year. The character
of the work done will be similar
in grade to that offered during
the regular sessions of the year.

MyJRDEEs WILL OUT

Last year an Indian named Antoine
was found dead on the railroad track
west of Leavenworth. At the time 1t
was thought he had been killed by a
train and the Coroner's jury returned
a verdict to that effect. But now Lucy
Youncey, an Indian squaw, makes afii-
davit that Antoine was murdered by
souaw named Elizabeth Allen, Sam
George, another Indian, and white
man whose name she does not know, at
Leavenworth. That he was stabbed in
the back of the neck and head by the
souaw, with knife of Sam Georges,
and after he was dead several hours
they tied him to the rear end OF rail-
road train and his body was dragged to
where it was found. The authorities
have had suspicious that this was some
what the manner of Antone's death hut
have been unable to secure any evil
dence until now. Old Sam, the father
of Antoine, is very anxious to bring the
murderers to justice and has gone to
Wenatchee to lay the matter before the
proper officials. Fruit Valley Journal.
The finding of the body OF old
Antoine will be remembered by
many people in this town, and
the coupling of Leavenworth
man with the murder will add
interest to the incident. 1t is
earnestly hoped that the parties
guilty of the dastardly crime will
be brought to the bar of justice.

Des Moines, Jan. 28.-The supreme
court of Iowa stepped in yesterday
and reversed the lower court because
of q desire to zealously guard the
bankruptcy statute which provides for
the setting aside Of transfer of
property occurring within four months
prior to bankruptcy in case it was
manifestly for the purpose of giving
preference to certain creditor
The case in which the ruling was
made was appealed from Sioux county.
Fred Bardes, trustee appointed In
bankruptcy proceedings was the ap-
pellant. He found that the bankrupt
person had transferred considerable
property to the First National bank
of Hawarden, Iowa, and to the Bank
of Alcaster, South Dakota, his credi.
tors, within four months Of the begin
ming of proceedings in bankruptcy.
The lower court held that there was
no evidence OF an intention to give
preference to the banks, but the ST.
preme court holds that there was ap-
parently mutual knowledge that
the bankrupt was insolvent at the
time.
