NATURAL DEATH


All the excitement stirred over
the belief that Albert c. Michaels,
recluse living five miles north of
Colbert, had been murdered, has
proved to be without foundation.
Coroner Schlegel, who made a
hurried examination of the body
and then departed for Colville,
turning the case over to his dep
uty, DR.. George T. Penn, tele-
graphed to Clarence Long, chief
deputy sheriff, to investigate the
case.
While Deputy Sheriffs Long.
Doak and Sweet were scouting
around the cabin of the dead her.
init, DIR. Penn conducted an autopsy
at the Turnbull undertaking rooms
and found that Michaels came to
his death from natural causes. A
blood clot on the brain was the
cause of death, and the end came
suddenly. in the opinion of DIR.
Penn. The wounds on the. body
were superficial.

THE CONSERVATION FIGHT


Editor Press-Pemit me to offer
my congratulations on the splendid
stand you have been taking in re-
gard to the contest in the irrigation
congress between the friends OF
conservation of our natural resour-
ces and the radical policy of our
present secretary of the interior.
This discussion, together with the
exposures made through The Press,
has raised a question of great mo-
ment to the American people.
There can be no question but our
public domain and natural oppop'
tunities are rapidly concentrating
into the hands of few great in
terests.'
But permit me to suggest that
the only policy yet proposed that
will truly conserve the rights OF
the whole people in these natural
resources is the one advocated by

BIG HEARTED

ON DEATHbEO
Suffering Terrible Pain,
Robert Burdette Jokes in
q Silent Language as He
Faces His Maker.
az FRANK r. SEARlGHT,
President Of the American Press
Humorists and Written for
the United Press.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 16.-
Sunny, lovable, fun making Bob
Burdette is on the rack of a phys
ical torture such as few mortals
are ever called upon to endure, and
he seems doomed to endure it for
months.
Not necessarily fatal" his doc.
tors say, but the famous humorist.
preacher admits that it is the close
of his public career, at least, and
that his resignation as pastor of
Temple Baptist church of this city
is his first farewell appearance"
Sounds just like Burdette, does it
not?
Message From Boys.
carried message of sympathy
and cheer from his boys" of the
American Press Humorists. He's
the perpetual parson and pastor
emeritus of 100 of us, and calls us
his boys, with the possible excep-
ton of Mark Twain and Eli Per
kins, who have a few years on the
parson. though active members of
his widely scattered flock of fun
manufacturing sinners.
And. though his doctors wouldn' t
allow him to speak a word, because
the mere effort of speaking in
creases his agony of body, the re-
membrance, from those jokesmiths
OF the daily press drove the look of
pain from his eyes for a moment.
What he wanted to say was what
he has said to me often:
Boys Of my own kind-my real
bothers. God bless them ALL"
His fortitude is all the more Won
derful when you know for days he
has lain, and for months, probably,
he must continue to lie, held fast
from his waist down in a plaster
cast. A slip and a fall backward
on wet veranda at his Pasadena
mansion March % last resulted in
the big sciatic nerve being gouged
and torn by the sharp corner of a
bench-oddly enough, bench
made from an old church pew.
Little stories about the real
greatness of this, one of Americas
first humorists, come to light every
day, and here is one that has never
been told before
Story of Burdette.
The father of the child told me
the story himself. with tears
streaming down his face. His little
girl was dying. Bob" Burdette
had started on a lecture tour along
the coast and up north. The tour
was to last several weeks and ordi-
narily was worth several thousands
of dollars to him. The child was a
member of the Burdette Sunday
school and constant attendant at
his church. Her plea was simply:
"a want Mr.. Burdette to talk to
me before die"
Bob Burdette cancelled his entire
list of engagements and returned
at once to Los Angeles, and the
youngster passed away with tears
of happiness on her face at the
cheerful words that came from his
heavy heart.

HOW OLD is BIpDY2


English authorities hold that there
is no certain test of age in fowls. But
they admit that in general the spurs
both OF hcns and cocks will distinguish
q 2-year-old bird.
There are exceptions. however. In
which really young birds develop old
looking spurs, while really second-year
birds preserve the short. rounded spurs
OF a cockerel.
The texture OF the legs Is guide,
to some extent. and so are the delIcacy
and freshness OF the skin OF the face
and comb. but still an occasional hen
will preserve her youthful appearance
to a startling degree.
The skin of the body Is better test
as 1t becomes coarser and dryer-look-
ing with age.
Formerly the wing feathers were
considered an absolute test as between
Dullet and hen, even after the
long practice of early breeding had
made the molting OF early pullets quite
common.
AN Australian authority says that a
pullet will show rose-colored veins In
the surface OF the skin under the
wings
There will also be long, silky hairs
growing there. After year old these
hafrS diannpaor no ale, do ,ho ,,oir.
and the skin grows white and vein
less.
1t is more difficult to judge the age
OF water fowls than of other poultry
partly from the absence OF spurs, part
ly from greater longevity and partly
because the water keeps their legs soft
and fresh.
Ducks waddle more heavily as they
grow older, and after Two or three
years they acquire depression down
the breast.
An abdominal pouch OF considerable
size indicate great age In geese.
Turkeys up TO year old are said
TO have black feet, which grow pink
up TO three years OF age. when they
gradually turn gray and dull.
Age in pigeons is often told by the
color OF the breast In squads the
flesh looks whltish as seen through
the skin. but becomes more and more
purplish as the bird grows older.

ENGLEWOOD. n. D., Nov. 27.-Two
Texas cowboys, brothers, carrying four
IA caliber revolvers and loaded with
ammunition. held this town in a state
of terror for hours until late last night
when they departed south unmolested
During their reign they killed Louis
Maxwell, a farmer near town, and
threatened others at the point of
now being pursued by Sheriff Cooper
of Ransom county and four deputies
The trouble originated in the pool
room of Gust Uam, following an alter
cation when Uam asked one of the
cowboys to shake dice, the cowboy
drew his gun and bystanders grappled
with him. but the cowboy broke par
TALLY free and leyeled the weapon
over his contender's should and shot
Maxwell half an inch below the heart
Maxwell died early this morning The
cowboys then displayed their weapons
and threatened the citizens of the
town with certain and instant death
If they were interfered with, ran the
town all night and departed afoot
early this morning.
The settlers throughout the sur
rounding country are so terrified that
no definite information can be secured
as to the location of the outlaws.
