Shot Up Town and Dies.

Sturgis, s. D.-Maddened by drink
and Jealous because the girl with
whom he wished to dance had spurned
him for a rival, Mike Henry. a twenty.
twoyear-old bad man, shot up" the
ranch house Of M. J. Carney, on White
Owl creek, sixty miles north of here,
during the progress Of a cowboy dsnce.
and an hour later was himself shot
to death in an attempt to murder a
rancher.
Henry was Sturgis boy and son OF
former gambler. who is now in Gold
field. For several years he has posed
as desperado. He was present at the
dance given by M. J. Carney. and be-
crme infuriated when a girl declined
to dance with him because he was
drunk. After shooting the window
panes out he announced his intention
Of going to the neighboring ranch of
Yes Carney, a well-todo horse rancher,
and killing him. Word was sent to
the other Carney, and when Henry ap.
peared the rancher met him with a
shotgun. and, upon Henry's refusing to
throw up his hands. killed him instant
" with q double charge in the breast.
Yes Carney rode at once to town and
has accompanied Sheriff Stewart and
Coroner McSloy back to the ranch. Ac.
cording to the information received
here. Carney will likely be acquitted.

FOR SELFISH ENDS.
The Efforts Being Made by the Ameri-
can Medical Association.

The Political activity of the Ameri-
can Medical Association has become
30 pronounced as to cause comment
in political circles especially as the
the avowed purpose of the Doctors Of
the Regular" or Allopathic school, Of
which the Association is chiefly COM
posed, is to secure the passage of such
laws as will not only prevent the
sale of so-called Patent" medicines,
but will restrict the practice of medi-
cine and healing to the schools" now
recognized. This in many states would
prevent the growing practice of Os-
teopathy, and in nearly every state
would prevent the healers of the
Christian Science and mental science
belief from practicing those sciences
In which the faith Of SO many intelli-
gent people is SO firmly rooted.
The American Medical Association
has a Committee on Legislation"
and the committee has correspond
ents in practically every township -
some 10000 correspondents in all.
This committee at the last session of
the American Medical Association
held in June of this year expressed a
hope that a larger number of physi-
clans than heretofore will offer them
selves as candidates for Congress at
the first opportunity. In its annual
report this Committee said: ITO meet
the growing demands of the move
ment, however, particularly If the
work of active participation in State
legislation is undertaken, larger
clerical force must be employed"
This is almost the first time in the
history of the United States that any
organized class has frankly avowed
the purpose Of capturing legislatures
and dominating legislation in their
, own selfish interests.
The American Medical Association
has about $4,000 members of whom
$4,000 are fully constituted mem
bers" and the rest are members be-
cause of their affiliation with state or
local societies. The Association owns
real estate in Chicago valued at $111,-
1871 and it's total assets are $751;
567S9. Its liabilities, at the time of
the annual report which was made at
the June meeting, amounted to only
$21,906. The excess of assets over
liabilities is increasing at the rate of
about $4,000 a year. and the purpose
of the organization is to dominate
the field of medicine, and by crushing
all competitions by securing the pas
sage of prohibitive legislation, compe.
all of the people of the United States
to pay a doctors fee every time the
most simple remedy is needed.

An Intricate Question.

Denver-Is a blind man eligible to
become a naturalized citizen Of the
United States? If he is, how about the
provision in the statutes by which an
applicant for naturalization must be
able to read and write the English Ian
guage? These were the puzzling Ques-
tions put up to the United States dis
trict attorney.
The clerk of a District Court in Col.
orado wrote to the United States at.
torney stating that a blind man had
applied for naturalization papers. The
court clerk had never had a blind ap-
plicant before and he was doubtful
about his eligibility under the statute
requiring that an applicant be able to
read and write. In his perplexity the
clerk wrote to the district attorneys
ofiice, the place that is supposed to
,ontain all the knowledge thero Is on
federal law.
Assistant District Attorney Ralph
Hartzell wrote back to the perplexed
clerk that he thought It would be safe
to give the man his naturalization pa
pers.
The applicant had two good eyes
when he came to America. but lost his
sight in a mine accident.

METHOD IN HIS soLlcrruDe.
WiIlle's Deep Interest in Playmate's
Health Explained.

This story Is well in keeping with
the spirit Of the age, says the New
York Tribune. A Bronx man tells 1t
about his little boy. The neighbor's 8
young hopeful was very i'll, and Willie
and the other youngsters in the block
had been asked not to make any noise
In the streets. The neighbors bell
rang one day and she opened it to find
Willie standing bashfully Oh her front
steps.
How is he today" he inquired in
shy whisper.
Hes better, thank you, dear, and
what thoughtful child you are to
come and ask"
Willie stood moment on one foot
and then burst forth again, I'm orful
sorry Jimmys sick"
The mother was profoundly touched.
She could nnd no further words to
say, but simply kissed him. Made still
bolder by the caress, Willie began to
back down the steps, repeating at in
tervals his sorrow for his playmates
Illness. At the bottom step he halted
and looked up. "If Jimmy should die"
he asked, 'kin 1 have his drum?"

Deaths from x-Rays.

The death of DR.. Weigel, a surgeon
of Rochester, from a disease due to
the constant use of the X-rays makes
the fourth who has lost his life from
this cause, says the Chistian Advo-
cate.
The others were an assistant of
Thomas Edison, Boston physician
and a woman Of San Francisco named
Fleischman. In the case Of DR.. Wei
gel since 1904, when his right hand
and all but the thumb and finger
of the left hand were removed. there
had been four operations in trying
to save his life. The first removed
q part of the right shoulder; then .
part of the muscles covering the right
breast.
Mystery completely envelops the
cause Of death, the disease being un-
known to medical science. though II
is believed to involve some great prin.
ciple OF life. DR.. Weigel was presi.
dent Of the Rochester Academy OF
Medicine and the American Ortho
paedic society.

Incubator Baby Lives.

Los Angeles. Cal.-Tiny Howard
William Orval Culp, the incubator
baby. is thriving and will live. He
weighs three pounds and ten ounces
and is six weeks and two days old.
Announcement of the young mans ad-
vent and the circumstances thereof
has had the effect of sending streams
of visitors to the Culp home to see
him, and he has held one continuous
levee of four days.
Howard William Orval Culp is not
too long name for the youngster who
already at such an early age bears
the title of prize incubator baby of
Los Angeles.
Though Howard William Orval Culp
is small. he is nevertheless a very
important parsonage in the eyes of
his mother and father. Mr.. and Mrs.
]. A. Culp, 431 Crocker street. The
presence of the little fellow has raised
the neigh uorhood out of the common
place. The house is Mecca for the
doctors and scientists who are in
terested in the case.
Diminutiveness is not the only
worldly possession of this phenomenal
infant. He has a voice that can be
heard clear out into the street." ac-
cording to the mother. But. as she
adds, 'he is good natured. too"
Master Culp does not suffer from
insomnia and sometimes has to be
awakened lest he go too long without
nourishment. At an early period in
his existence he was fed by means of
medicine dropper, two teaspoonsful
every three hours. He has risen to
the dignity of a spoon. however. and
now requires ten teaspoonsfuls every
three hours.
He was born July 7th. forty-four
days ago. Two hours after his birth he
was taken to the Good Samaritan hos
pital. and there kept in an incubator
for four weeks as the only means OF
saving his life. He did so well that
he was eventually promoted to the
special children's hospital department
under a special nurse.
A few days ago he was graduated
from the hospital with honors. and
now at his home, occupying a big bas.
ket, a world in itself to him. he is
the pride of the family, and the cyno-
'ure Of all eyes.

sIMoNsEN HELD FOR MURDER.
coroner's Jury Brings In Verdict Of
FeIonious Killing.

Greeley, Colo-The inquest over the
body of c. r. Lewis, the Kersey editor,
who was shot by Charles Simonsen, a
ranchman Of that town, was held in
the courthouse here. Five witnesses
we're examined, H. P. Hill, justice Of
the peace Of Kersey, who refused ST.
Elonsen warrant for the arrest Of
Lewis before the shooting; Charles
Moore. William Blinn and Joseph Del
bridge. who saw the shooting, and DR..
w. 8. Spaulding, in whose office
Lewis died, and who made the au-
topsy.
It was not brought out at the in
quest that the shooting was the result
Of articles published by the dead edi-
tor said to reflect upon Simonsen's
wife, but that the quarrel that led to
the shooting was because Of testi-
mony alleged to have been given
by Simonsen recently in a JUS
tice of the peace court case, when
Lewis had a merchant Of that place
arrested for drawing gun on him.
and at which Simonsen is alleged to
have testified in favor Of the merchant
against Lewis.
The verdict Of the coroner's jury
reads:
"The Jurors, en- their oaths, say that
c. r. Lewis came 10 his death by a
gunshot wound from a pistol in the
hands of one Charles Simonsen, on
August "a, 1907, at the town Of Ker-
sey, and that the killing was felonious.
"(Signed) w. R. Peterson, D.
Stroll, Charles ]. Cole, L. B. Willard,
L. c. Miller, w. H. Delbridge."
An information charging murder
now will be filed by the prosecuting
attorney, and Simonsen will be ar
raigned before justice of the peace
In Greeley, when a day will be set for
the preliminary hearing. Simonsen's 8
married daughter and Simonsen's wife
were not present at the inquest. Mrs.
Lewis, widow of the murdered man,
will settle up the affairs of her former
husband and go to her former home in
Petersburg, Ind.
Simonsen was not placed on the wit
ness stand. He says he was goaded to
desperation by the taunts and accusa-
tons of Lewis. After he was refused
a warrant for his tormentor's arrest,
he says he saw no course except to
teke vengeance into his own hands.
Simonsen spends his time in jail
smoking. He feels sure of acquittal
The defense probably will be emo.
tional insanity.
