Worlds First Radium Robbery.
Pearson's Weekly.

iearson's Weekly.
1T was bound to come soon or lat.
er. And, now behold, it. has come.
For the first time in the world ,;
history there has been chronicled tao
theft of a quantity Of radium.
1t was not a large quantity. In.
deed, it could not very well be so
considering that the sum total Of TIN;
radium stock Of the whole Of Europe
is only about 40 grains, or, say. one
twelfth of an ounce troy.
But rs radium is worth just now, at
current market rates, $4,000 lbs. an
oiffe, the individual, whoever he
was, who walked off at Glasgow UNI
vcrSity the other day with Prof. Sod
dy's %onc-fourth Of a grain, has illicit
~ acquired possession Of property
worth 80 lbs.
The difficulty for him, however,
will be to realize. He can hardly al
~vertisc it in the "for sale' columns
of a daily paper. He can not raise
money on it at a pawnshop, for not
even the most enterprising and up to
date Of "uncles' would lend any
thing on a microscopic fragment of
dirty dust that a pins point would
more than cover.
Neither a he keep it in his pocket
with safety to himself. For the tiny
speck of seemingly harmless stuff
would burn through clothing, and
flesh, and muscle, ana bone, more
surely than ~vitriol, and would beside
give rise to an u~lcerous sore that
would take Years to heal, if ever it
did.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1908-04-14

Even for the thief to examine his
stolen booty would mean blindness,
unless he exercised extraordinary
and elaborate precautions. For the
radioactivity Of the purem ineral is
such that it destroys the optic nerve
as surely as it eats up gold or car
bonises q diamond, only more quick
ly.
SO that, on the whole, it would
seem that the wisest course for the
man who stole That tube of radium
would be to seek out Mr.. Soddy and
beg of him, OH his kiees, if need be,
to rethke possession of it.

IMDEPENDENr FACTORY.

a movement for an indcpend-
ent sugar factory at Manzanola
was commenced there last Nom
day evening, when large mass
meet ng was held in Odd Fe.-
laws hall. The meeting was ad-
'rassed by Senator Crowley an
w. b. Fbbert and 1000 acres were
pledged for a new factory. There
,rc a number Of wealthy men in
Manzarola to back such an under
takirg and it is proposed to get
the farmers interested financially.
A meeting is called for Rocky
Ford tomorrow, Saturday, to fur
ther discuss the plan.
In public meeting at Rocky
Ford Senator Crowley said that
all rolds lead to Rocky Ford"
Af.er his recent visit here his slip
of the tongue is objectionable.
He should have said that "all
roads lead to Holly The truth
Is mighty and Will ever prevail.
At recent meeting at Manza-
nola the plan was discussed and
may yet develop. whereby an in
dependent sugar factory will be-
come sure thing.
A recent meeting of the sheep
men at Las Animas passed strong
resolutions against the federal
control of the range and ordered
the same forwarded to the author
tiles at Washington.
According to the La Junta pa
! oers only one marriage license
has been issued in this county so
far this month. The ladies seem
TO be overlooking the fact that
this is Leap year, but maybe they
are waiting for June, the month
of roses.

A YOUTHFUL HERO.

War q tot3

0aP u 1ot&
Only Q few names escape oblivion,
but Aug. 3, 1918, insured lastins
fame for Major George Croghan.
Ninety-thrss years later, on Aug. .,
1906, The remains Of this youthful
hero were reinterred On ths site of
his great victory.
During the war Of 1873 Croghan,
. handsome, spirited Ksntuckian,
was sent BY General Harrison to
take command Of . poor little stock
ads, Fort Stephenson, st Lower
Sandusky, now Fremont, o. The
place was important only because
It guarded the approach to HarTi-
sons headquarters and stores up
the Sandusky river.
On the morning Of Aug. / Gen.
sfal Proctor, the British COM
naadsr, with 500 regulars, veteran
troops who had served under We'll
fngton on the peninsula, sailed up
the river in gunbosts Of Commodore
Barclays feet and landed cannon
and howitzers, with which they b.
gan to lombard the fort. Mean
while Tecumseh, with 700 Indians,
swarmed through the woods and b.
gan the attack from the opposits
side. To one Of . less sanguins
temperament or Of les courage than
the young commander the situation
must have seemed hopeless. But
Croghan not only showed conAdenss
himself, but inspired It in those un-
der him.
Croghan had 100 men and one
small cannon, which he moved
about from place to place to induce
the belief that he had several guns.
Late in the afternoon Of the I'd ths
enemy made . united assault. So
valiantly and effectively was II 1s-
pulsed that the whole British and
Indian force made . prscipitats NJ
treat into Canada.
ut will not bs the least Of Gen
eral Proctor's notifications" wrote
Harrison, 'tto know that he has been
bafied by . youth who has just pass
ed his twenty-frst year. Hs il,
however, . hero worthy Of his gal-
liant uncle. General George Rogers
Clark"
Croghan himself wrote Just be-
fore the battle: '"Ths enemy are not
far distant. expect an attack. I
will defend this post to the last sx-
trsmity. / havv just ssnt away the
wsmen and children with the sick
Of the garrison, that / may bs able
to act without membranes. b
satisfied shall, l hope, do my duty.
The example set me by my Rsvolu-
tionary kindred is before me. LIT
me die rather than prove unworthy |
Of their name"
The battle Of Fort Stephenson
was the first really brilliant effort
Of the war Of 1919. General Shsr-
man said it was "the necessary pre-
cursor to Perry's victory on the lake
and Harrison's triumphant victory
st the Thames, which assured to
our immediate ancestors the mas
terry Of the great west, and from .
that day to this. the west has bean
the bulwark of the nation"
For bis exploit Croghan was brs-
vetted lieutenant colonel by the
president Of the United States, and
congress awarded him gold medal.
