Resulted. n

Berlin, March PA dispute be-
tween the American millionaire, Ru-
dolph Spreckles, of San Francisco,
and a distinguished Austrian physi-
clan, DR.. Edgar Cans, which attracted
much public attention both in Europe
and America and had been submitted
to the Austrian civil court at Eyer, Is
now approaching its conclusion.
Mr.. Spreckles was staying at Karls-
bad in the summer Of 1904 and con-
suited DIR. Cans regarding an internal
complaint from which he was suffer-
ing. DR.. Cans after diagnosing the
case, pronounced 1t to be appended
tis and declared that an operation was
necessary.
The great German physician, Prof.
Sonneberg, of Berlin, was summoned
to Karlsbad for consultation and at
once confirmed the opinion OF the case
given by DR.. Cans. Before the opera
ton was performed a legal written
agreement was drawn up between Mr..
Spreckles and Prof. Sonneberg fixing
the fee for the operation at $1,000, In
addition to S1,250 for Prof. Some
berg's assistant and staff Of nurses.
Prof. Sonnebelg performed the oper-
alton successfully and received the
stipulated fee. DR.. Cans continued to
attend Mr.. Spreckles, who required
medical advice for some weeks after
the operation. When Mr.. Spreckles
asked DR.. Cans to name his fee, DR..
Cans suggested the sum Of $4,000.
Mr.. Spreckles attempted to leave
Karlsbad without paying any fee
whatever to Dr. Cans. The case was
given to lawyer who obtained
summary order from the local court,
empowering him to detain the person
al belongings of Mr.. Spreckles as Sc
curity for the amount claimed by DR..
Cans. Mr. Spreckles facing the un-
pleasant possibility of having his lug
gage seized, deposited the full amount
of $4,000 with the local authorities and
at the same time indicated his inten-
ton of contesting the physicians legal
right to charge him this amount.
| In view of the emphatic assertions
made by several distinguished physi-
clans that DR.. Cans saved the life of
Mr.. spreckles, the question was rails
ed whether a medical man is not justi-
fed In charging more for saving the
life of a millionaire than for saving
the life of pauper Some adverse
comment has been caused in the Euro
pean press by the fact that Mr.. Spreeb-
les pretends to value his own life at
less than $4,000.

wfscensfn Hunter Trained Them to
 Take stroIIs With Him.
 TREMPLEAU, Wis, Sept. H. Hunting rattlesnakes for their skins has furnished new and hazardous oc- cupation for many men who reside among the hills and rocky bluffs of the upper Missouri valley, where the rat tier attains perfection as to size and color. The snake must be taken alive and decapitated before he has an op- portunity to strike himself, for once the deadly poison is injected the skin loses luster and value.
 The price paid for perfect tanned skins is about s1 each, and in addition the oil obtained from the snake com mands a high price from its supposed value as a cure for rheumatism and kindred diseases Each rattler captur- ed alive means about st50 to the hunter.
 Among the most successful hunters is Alfred Johnson of this place, who possesses many large and beautiful skins. His latest capture was nearly seven feet long and carried nineteen rattIers. Mir Johnson has succeeded in domesticating large number of young rattlers, which allow him to han dle them as he will and follow at his call like well trained puppies.
 The idea occurred to Mir. Johnson that by obtaining small snakes and getting them accustomed to his pres ence he could largely increase his prof. its and reduce the hazards of his occu- patton. Following out this reasoning. he has now a colony of nearly thirty rattlers, all of which seem to bid him a welcome whenever he appears, but they have no welcome for strangers.
 On bright, sunshiny afternoons Mir. Johnson and his snakes may be seen taking stroll in the vicinity of his home, and it is needless to add that they are given entire possession of the immediate neighborhood and are undis. turbed In fact, these outings are be coming the source of considerable com. plaint from citizens who fail to see any attraction in the colony, and the proba bilities are that he will soon be obliged to seek more secluded spot for his snake farm.

cluS6CI Ol bAS league. Stone has proved the sensa- ton of the American league having ad- vanced steadily from among the large list of batters in the 200 per cent. class until he has passed all the slug gers but Keeler. Keeler up to the present has been in 91 games; has been to bat 346 times and made f14 hits, giving him percentage of .3s0. Stone has taken part in 95 games. gone to bat 3S7 times and made 125 hits, a percentage of 1928. Stones fine batting during the recent eastern trip of the Browns made deep im- precision on the fans of Boston, New York and Washington. While Burkett is toddling along somewhere around the .230 mark, Stones work caused the following outburst from 8 Boston critic: George Stone has certainly done the tallest hitting of the season. Fifteen hits in i've games is the best thing in the batting line seen this sea- son, and must cause Jimmy Collins to feel queer every time he thinks how he let this wonder slip through his fingers. Stone is the goods-no doubt about it. He has splendid batting attitude, and when he meets the ball it shoots from the bat like a shot out Of cannon. This same Stone, if with the Bostons today. would help Boston land pennant. !" In the five games with the Highland. CTS Stone did almost as well as he did in Boston. He came to bat 21 times and made 12 hits.
