WALLACH GOES
AFTER ENEMIES

Il
J. Lor wanach considers that the in
terview with G. A. Somma concerning
him, which was published in the Ad,
vertiser Saturday morning. is libelous
false and tending to bring him into
adherence in the community and in
jure his reputation. Consequently he
has had Somma arrested on charge
of criminal libel.
The arrest was made yesterday af-
ternoon shortly after five o'clock, the
accused promptly securing his liberty
on a cash bail of 500, the coin being
furnished by S. l. Shaw. At the po-
lice station Somma stated that the in
terview as published was the straight
dope and he had a hundred witnesses
to bring into court to prove it. He
seemed rather glad than otherwise to
have an opportunity of stating in court
just what he thinks of Wallach and
his so-called leper cure.
Wallach stated yesterday that he
considered the Somma interview, if all
lowed to go unrebuked, would injure
him in the opinion OF Governor Frear
and might cause the official head of
the Territory to turn down the re-
quests in the petition recently present.

Early in the morning he
visited the police station to swear out
a warrant, but the officials there re-
ferred him to the County Attorney.
The County Attorney deliberated over
the matter for a short time and then
agreed with Wallach to take the mat
ter up. Wallach then hunted up Judge
and swore out the complaint
which set the law in motion.
The case is down to come up in the
police court tomorrow morning, when
the two salve specialists will face each
other and tell of their mutual deal
ngs.
WALLACH HAS MORE CURES.
Wallach is enlarging on his claims
now. In addition to his cure for the
1ne incurable disease here, that of lep-
rosy, he has informed the Advertiser
hat he has a certain specific for bubon-
&c plague, something that he is will

,ore the Medical Association member

enough ever to be visited again with

aid very much about because the pa
ers here have been calling me

After some desultory conversation on
ames in general and worms in par
icular, Wallach was induced to give
ONE particulars of his remedy for
yorms with hooks, the whole thing,
ook and all, being so infinitesimal
hat Wallach declares several million
f them can go around hooking each
ther on the point of a penknife.

The process by which Wallach de-
orns the hook worms is free to the

resident Pinkham is that he shall be
