burg, Pa, and broke his nose 1t did
not receive medical attention at that
time. and grew together in deformed
way, which also made breathing
through the nose difficult. This morn
ing's 1eration corrected those diff
culties.
The process was an interesting one.
After being placed under a strong
anesthetie. a pad was placed over the
patients nose, and it was struck by
the physician with a rawhide maIlet
until it broke. Considerable skill was
necessary to break the bone in the
place where it had knitted together
previously. From now On Mr. Young
will have to wear his nose in a cast
which will be changed and adapted as
the member heals. The zose will be
corrected from ..---es to time in its

PRIEST BOASTS LAWYER.
Father ScheIl OF Ladysmith After
Bank at That Place.

Bank at That Place.
Chippewa Falls. Wis, Sept. 12.-Rev.
Father Joseph Scheli OF Tony has ap.
pealed to the controller of the cur
reney to prosecute the officers Of the
defunct First National Bank of Lady,
smith, claiming that they are crimi-
nally guilty of violating the law
Father Schell informs Controller
Ridgely that the department of justice
has been derelict and says that United
States District Attorney William
Wheeler has prostitnted his oath
and office in favor of the bank de.
faulters, and will make a farce of the
proceedings II he is allowed or com
PEELED to prosecute the defauIters."
Not until the case is entirely removed
from the hands Of Mr.. Wheeler does
Father Schell think that the alleged
bank defauiters can be properly dealt
with.
In an answer just received by Father
Schell from Controller Ridgely he is
informed that the case will receive
proper attention at once and that all
the evidence in the case will be sub
mitted to the department of justice.
He concludes by saying IF you
are correct in your assumption that
the district attorney cannot be relied
upon in this prosecution, the stronger
you can put the facts to the depart
ment Of justice the better 1t viii be
for the cause of justice. and II you
have any evidence that information
in the possession Of the receiver was
mot communicated to the department
of justice il is your duty to advice thia
