FROM MACHINERY
ELECTRIC DREDGER FOREMAN
RISKS OWN LIFE
LEAPS FIVE FEET OVER BELT TO
RENDER AID
Mechanic Becomes EntangIed in
WhirIng Wheels and Is Rescued
by Thrilling Work of
William SteIzer

PLAYA DEL REY, July 2S.-Risklng
his life to save a fellow worker from
death this morning, William Steizef
threw off the main switch on an cleo
trio dredger, seized a heavy belt, and
at imminent peril Of being drawn into
the whiTling wheels, brought the ma
chinery to a standstill.
Joseph Davidson. mechanic en-
ployed on the electric dredger which is
working in the lagoon, stepped into the
pit where there were two rapidly re-
volving shafts. The mans foot slipped
from the oily surface of a beam, his
trousers were caught in the end of a
shaft and in an instant he was drawn
into the machinery His cries Tor
help brought Stelzer, who was in charge
of the dredger, to the rescue.
Leaping over the belt, the foreman
threw off the power switch, and turn
ing seized the big belt which drives the
powerful pump. Stelzer was drawn
toward the great fyWheel, but he re-
sisted with all his power. In the
meantime Davidson had thrown his
body backward with the hope of say
ing his life even if the leg was torn
off When the machinery was brought
TO stop it was found that Davidson s
clothing was wound so tightly around
the shaft that it was necessary to cut
it away. This proved difficult because
of the narrow quarters in the pit
where the mans body was drawn. Da-
wilson was grooming with pain when
Stelzer crawled into the pit and slashed
with his knife until the injured man
was released and lifted from his peril
Gus position. Davidson's right leg was
lacerated above the ankle and his foot
was severely bruised His injuries were
attended by Mrs Alma c. Thompson,
a Los Angeles trained nurse who was
at a nearby hotel when the accident
occurred

Stelzer, jocularly, when it was shown
that his assistant was not severely in
Jured.
"Tn trade it for your ability as a
high jumper, Bill" replied Davidson,

saying he was no longer able to stand
the cruelties of his father He says
Judge johnson of the juvenile court in
LeavenWorth said he might come and
that he needed report no more to him.
Willie King is now II years old but
does not look the age. When he ar
rived he was very poorly clothed and
Ill kempt, though now he is wearing
some old clothes his brother-in-lew
gave him and makes clean and neat
appearance. Tales of extreme cruelty
are told by him and his sister of their
father, w. NJ King, a day laborer of
LeavenWorth- Habitually he beat his
Wife, his daughter and two sons.
After his sister left home, Willie
yielded to the lures of another lad to
run away. 1t was about a year ago
Jean Behart asked Willie to go with
him. Jean had been riding a horse
around which Willie supposed was his
or his fathers, who is a veterinary
surgeon. The two boys rode the horse
off. About 20 miles from Leaven-
worth they were caught and taken
home Then Willie learned that the
horse did not belong to Jean Behart
The boys were taken before the juve-
nile court and Willie was let off on
probation. He has made reports to
Judge Johnson who, says the boy, told
him he could now go and live with his
sister in Topeka.
However. the following telegram
came to Chief Eaton yesterday: car
rest and hold Willie King. Parole
violated, juvenile court, Leavenworth.
Tom Brown. sheriff of Leavenworth
county,"
This telegram removes any blame
or charges of false e'imprisonment from
the shoulders of Chief Eaton.
Willie King had come to Topeka to
be with friends and to get empIoym ent
in the city. The officers here think
it is a conspiracy on the part of the
father to make him come home.
After the boy had gone, his father
made his mother burn up every bit
of clothing or trinket the boy had
left and it was thought he would be
left to rustic as he wished. The fam
lily at home has nothing, but the man
would never let the women or the boys
earn anything while he, alone, was
making but a meager existence.

Helpful Hints ON Hair Health
Scalp and Hair Troubles General,
Caused by CareIessness.

Caused by CareIessness.
Dandruff is contagious disease
caused by a microbe which also pro-
duces badness. Never use a comb or
brush belonging to some one else No
matter how cleanly the owner may be,
thes articles may be infected with mi
crobes, which will infect your scalp It
is far easier to catch hair microbes
than it is to get rid of them, and a
single stroke of an infected comb or
brush often produces the cause of
badness Never try on anybody else's
hat for the reason that many a hat
band is a nesting place for microbes.
If you happen to be troubled with
dandruff, itching scalp, falling hair or
badness, we have a remedy which We
positively know will cure these trou-
bles, and we are so sure of this that we
offer it to you with the understanding
that it will cost you nothing for a trial
if 1t does not produce the results we
claim. This remedy is called Rexall
''93'' Hair Tonic. It is the most scientific
remedy for all scalp and hair troubles,
and we know of nothing else that
equals it for effectiveness. We know
this because of the results it has pro-
duced in hundreds of cases.
RexalI "93'' Hair Tonic will positively
Danish dandruff permanently, restore
natural color when its loss has been
the hair naturally silky, soft and
glossy It does this because it stimu-
lates the hair follicles, removes dand-
ruff, destroys the germ matter. and
brings about a free, healthy circulation
of blood which nourishes the hair roots,
causing them to tighten and grow new
hair. We want everybody in Topeka
who has any trouble with hair or scalp
to know that RexalI "93'' Hair Tonic is
the best hair tonic and restorative in
existence, and no one should scoff at or
doubt this statement until they have
put our claims to a fair test. with the
understanding that they pay us moth
ing for the remedy if it does not give
full and complete satisfaction in every
particular. Two Sizes soc and $1.O0.
