SHOT WHILE "HUNTING."
PALLADIUM CARRIER BOY, WITH
UNUSUAL NERVE, REPORTED
FOR DUTY AS USUAL AND TOOK
HIS PAPERS.

For unadulterated heroism, little
Raymond Steinbrink, an efficient Pal
ladium carrier, is deserving of a Car
negie medal. Despite a bullet wound
in his left thigh, this devoted 'newsie'
came to the Palladium office Saturday
evening and, securing his Ill papers,
delivered every one of them on his
route in the south end of the city, with
out disclosing to any one his injuries.
This is the way the accident hap
pened. While Raymond and two 9TH

were out hunting. Saturday afternoon

was accidentally discharged and the
bullet entered his left thigh. just miss
ing the bone, and passing out the other
side. The boys do not know just why
the accident occurred. but as near as
Raymond can. tell. the gun was on the
ground and he picked it up with the
muzzle towards him, and in some un-
known manner the weapon was dis
charged.
Not taking his injury seriously.
young Steinbrink came to the Palladi-
um office at the usual time. secured his
papers and departed without confiding
to any one the accident he had met
with. He, however. admitted to some
of the other carrier boys that he did
not feel well, and the boys say that he
was pale.
1t was not until he had finished his
route and returned home that the in
tense pain conquered his grit and fore
ed him to tell his father of his wound.
A physician was called at once and the
wound was dressed. DR.. Krueger
states that unless some complication
sets in the wound will not cause any
trouble. The physician. in discussing
the affair. stated that had the bullet en-
tered an inch higher. it would in all
have produced a wound
from which the boy could not have re-
covered.

GEORGE |. WEAST
MEXICAN WAR VET
He Served for Twenty-Five
Months in the Struggle
Of the FOrties.
ALSO IN THE CIVIL WAR.
AT THE AGE OF SEVENTY-NINE,
Mr.. WEAST is STILL ACTIVE IN
THE WORK OF THE POSTAL DE-
PARTMENT.

Since an article recently appeared to
the effect that Joshua Hunt of this city
is the only survivor of the Mexican
war in Richmond, another applicant
for the honor has come forth in the
person of George L. Weast, second
man in the postal department at the To-
cal Pennsylvania station.
Mr.. Weast, who has lived in Rich
mond for several years.. enlisted for
service in the Mexican war. in a Vir-
ginia regiment on December Is, 1916,
and served until August 3, 1S4S. He
was under Gen. Taylor, and Early. of
Mexican fame, was his major. Thus
Mr.. Weast saw % months of service in
the Mexican war He is able to mar
rate many interesting experiences dur
ing his service and has most of the
movements of that conflict at tongues
end.
Mr.. Weast is also civil war veter-
an. enlisting the first time in the Both
Indiana, and re-enlisting in the 141th.
He has the remarkable distinction of
not having received a single wound
during his several years service for
Uncle Sam.
In November. 1879, he entered the
United States mail service and with
the exception of four or five years. has
been actively engaged in the postal de-
partment. He is now 20 years of age,
but is as active as he was at 30 years.
His position calls for night work, and
few men at his age would care to un-
dertake it.
Mr.. Weast's record is not only one of
distinction for his Mexican war service,
but he holds the honor of being the old
est Red Man in Indiana, having joined
that order in 1852. He is modest
about his distinction and avoids news
paper notoriety.

TOBACCO TRUSTS VIRTUES.
American Company Files Answer to
Government Suits.

American Company Files Answer to
Government Suits.
New York. Oct. S-The answer of
the American Tobacco company and
the other defendants TO the govern
ment's suit under the Sherman anti
trust law was filed this afternoon in
the United States circuit court by Jun
ius Parker counsel for the American
Tobacco company.
The government began it's suit on
July 9. They allege restraint of trade
and seek the dissolution of the cor
poration. The original suit names as
defendants the American Tobacco
company and together with sixty three
other corporate defendants alleged to
be, in one way or another, subsidiary
company associated with it in the con-
duct of its business and thirty individ-
ual defendants Prominent among the
latter are j. B. Duke. Thomas f. Ryan,
Anthony n. Brady. Benjamin w. Duke.
Pierre Lorillard and Peter A. B. Wild
ener.
The answer admits that all the i'm
portant allegations Of the government
are true. but argues that the deductions
made by the government attorneys are
false.
1t says in part:
1T has not been part of the policy
of the American Tobacco company to
disguise the ownership or use con-
trolled companies to break down OPP
position and secure for it the benefit
of public sentiment against combina-
tons.
Sometimes. as in the case of the
minority holders of the r. J. Reynolds
Tobacco company, these minority hold
ers and managers of the business have
preferred that the ownership Of part
of their business by the American
Tobacco company should be known
with the belief that it would strengthen
their business in public esteem, and
in such cases it has been the policy
of the American Tobacco company to
accede to the wishes Of those who are
to run the business. In other instances
it has been believed by those who were
to run the business that it would be
more successfully run by keeping froms1
the public the fact that the American
Tobacco company owned a part of the
stock. and 1t has been the policy of
the American Tobacco company to ac-
cede in these instances also to the
wishes Of those who were to conduct
the business"
The American Tobacco company de-
MES that it started the United Cigar
Stores company. but says it was finally
induced to go into the business after
h.oI ,1o.j
financial aid. Now it holds $500 900 of
the 100000 of common stock of the

Peoria, ILL.,, Oct. S.-Rudolph 1sch, a
member OF the Amist community
in Woodford county has brought
suit in the Peoria County Circuit
court against Rudolph Witzeig. a
wealthy farmer of Metamora, and an
elder of the church. for $4,000. In the
bill of particulars filed in the suit it
is charged that the church has follow
ed Isch from place to place and has
made it impossible for him to secure
work.
Sixteen years ago Isch broke one of
the rules of the church, which specify
that no member of the religious sect
shall be weighed. For this he was
disciplined. Isch also played cards.
and when this came to the ears of the
elder Isch was punished again.
Isch was communicated, expelled
from the church. and his wife and
children were forbidden to eat at the
same table with him or to have any
thing to do with him. Witzieg is said
to be worth 100000.
