MAGIC SHOE MAN
GETS IN TROUBLE
Professor" Hilgert, Once of Salt
Lake, Is ~ursued by the
Law.
is ARRESTED IN NEW YORK
SELLS BOOTS FOR DEFoRMITIEs
AT FANCY PRICES.

Nov York, Jan. 3.-Professor Matthew
II. Hiigert. who advertises as a maker of
magic neutrality-suspicious. boots
and caters to the wealthy, was arrested
yesterday by agents of the county medi-
cal society. DR.. Albert Whitehouse, an
osteopath, who is Professor Hilgerts
chief assistant, was also arrested.
The officers found in the Hilgert house
a workshop where fifty men were en-
ployed in the manufacture OF the magic
boots. The complaint against the prts-
oners is that they pracCced medicine
without a license and that the magic
boots, the soles of which were sometimes
soaked with drugs, often caused torture
to those who were treated. It is claimed
that boots were sold to millionaires at
prices ranging from $1,000 TO 5000 In
court the prisoners were held in $500 bail
each for examination.
Professor Eilgert had a shop wherein
he made shoes for defOrmed feet In this
city from 1890 to 1898. This was located
in a front room of the Miller hotel build
ing. The windows Of his factory were
hung with plaster casts of defOrmed feet,
the kind Hflgert delighted In making
shoes to fit. Hilgert aid not make the
shoes himself, for it is said that he did
not know enough TO make a WaX-end
but employed capable men to build shoes
for tho Out-Of-shape feet Of the rich GUS
toners who bought foot-gear of him to
ions, cOrns and govt.
He sold the shoes at prices seldom
lower than 800. He would gain the CON
fidence of some person with money and
defOrmed feet" said a Salt Lake cobbler
last night. He would make a last and
plaster cast Of this person's feet. The
last would cost $40, the cast SIS He would
then have a pair of shoes made by his
wOrknen and sell them at price bring
ing the total cost in the ueighborhoOd
Of 500. In many instances the finished
shoes did not fit. The necessary altera-
tons would be made at an additional
cost, usually about S25. One customer
threatened to bring suit against Hilgert
when the latter failed to make good an
amount charged for alterations, but the
willy professor nired a lawyer who con-
WINGED the irate customer that further
complaint would be useless.
He ha~ a large display of his casts at
the Utah state fair in 1900 and these hOr-
rible defOrmities. supposed TO be casts
made from feet Of his patients, attracted
considerable attention. Another old cob
bier in Salt Lake has many of these
casts hanging in his window today
L am making shoes from casts said
the cObbler just as / used to for Hill
CERT. L am getting so and SIS for shoes
that he would sell with his fine talk for

I'VE had a house in our town which was
moved 200 miles and set up exactly as 1t
stood before" said p. r. Allen of Lowell,
Mass. 1T formerly stood in some town in
Michigan, and the owner desired TO remove
it to Lowell without changing the style Of
the material.
AT first sight it seemed impossible. But
there are few things that cannot be done
when the impetus of the golden current is
given, and when the owner gave a contrac-
tor the job and told him that money was no
object as long he could show results he
was assured that the house would be moved.
And it was. although the task was colos-
sal one.
1.-THE house was taken down. and the
stones of one kind put together, each one
being numbered. The arches and other Sec
tons having a number of stones were let
tered. The material was then loaded on
cars and brought east, 100 cars being re-
quired to transport it. Upon arriving at
Lowell the house was set up as II was be-
fore. although an addition was made to
provide more room. Thirty-fve men were
employed in the work, which cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000

INDIANS DIE OF GRIEF.
Creeks Can't Adapt Themselves to
New Government.

From the Kansas City Star.
Pleasant Porter, chief Of the Creeks,
states that many Of his people died during
the last year, and that a great many Of
these deaths are due to disbursement
on account of a change of government
change Of conditions and environment to
which the Creeks cannot become adapted
This remarkable statement is contained
in the annual message Of the Creek chief
to the council, which is in session here
The words of the chief are:
Il regret to state that a large number
of our people have died during the last
year. From my observation the cause of
many deaths has been encouragement
They had lived their entire lives under a
different system of government, and have
had the use Of their lands in common.
The change has had a decided effect upon
the older people. and the change Of
methods under which they have been ac-
customed to live seemed to be source
Of discoura cement, and was a potent fac
tor in causing their deaths.
THE younger class Of our people seem
to be more in harmony with present con-
ditions. and the change has had a great ef-
feet in deciding their higher aspirations,
thus lettering their condition, especially
those Of our people who have been to
school. I notice that the children of our
younger women who have been to school
are doing better In meeting the new con-
ditions than others Of our people,"
