The Doctor Away from Home when
Most Needed.
YEsTRRDAY's REsULTs.

People are often very much disap-
pointed to find that their family physi-
clan is away from home when they
most need his services. Diseases like
cramp collie and cholera morbus require
prompt treatment, and have in many
instances proven fatal before medicine
could be procured or physician sum-
moned. The right way is to keep at
hand a bottle of Chsmberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Dirrahoea Remedy. No
physician can prescribe better medi-
cine for these diseases. BY having it in
the house you escape much pain and
suffering and all risk. Buy it now; 1t

INJURY TO MANS HEAD HELD
RESPONSIBLE
Served In. the Philippines and Hurt
Sustained There, Physicians Say,
May Have Made Him
Thief

William Martin, a former soldier, was
arrested last night by Detectives Steele
and Mccain and place in Jail on a
charge of misdemeanor embezzlement
1t is alleged that Martin has gone to
various establishments, including the
Maier Brewing company, and borrowed
tools on the representation that he was
working for some plumber and needed the
tool for temporary use. After securing
the tool he would sell it, the police say.
In this way, the police assert Martin
has secured and sold nearly $100 worth of
tools, including hammers, saws, braces
and bits and hatchets.
Martin is said to be mentally unbal-
anced. He served in the Philippines as
member of the hospital corps. At the
battle of Calacoon, while aiding a wounded
man on the firing line, he was himself
struck in the head by a bullet which
glanced from the steel tire of an ambu-
lance. The bones of the mans skull are
said to depressed in such manner that
they press on the brain as a result of
this wound.
An effort was made some time ago by
Drs Quint and Bonynge to get Martin
to submit to an operation to relieve him,
but he refused. Since then he has been
brought to the station several times for
medical treatm burt has never before
been arrested here on any charge.

WHITE MEN REFUSE

Called Before Jury Is Sc
cured to Try
Culprit

Two hundred and forty men have been
examined before Justice Rose in vain
effort to get jury with which to try
G. s. Chan, Chinese, charged with prac-
ticing medicine without a license.
Out of the 240 men only five have been
found who have satisfied the qualff1ca-
tions demanded by the law of those who
shall decide another mans fate. They
are j. e. Clifford, L. L. Davidson, Henry
Robson, o. c. Bowers and c. w. Pettifils.
These are the only ones out of 240 who
have fulfilled the legal qualifications and
yet have no prejudice against the hon
esty of Chinese who is testifying In
his own behalf All of the other 235 men
have said that they would not give as
much weight to the word of Chinese as
they would to that of a white man, and
consequently they have been excused.
Is Losing Willingness
Pettifils was the first man to be chosen.
He has appeared daily at the police sta
ton since July 10 and has been told by
the court to come again tomorrow
Pettifls complains that it is an outrage
to keep a man from his business without
remuneration but now he has resigned
himself to his fate, hoping that seven
