SHOOTING BEE FOLLOWS
BUT BULLETS GO WILD

The blind tiger was traced to bis
lair last night. The tiger turned on
his pursuers and then the fun began.
Five men we're emptyIng their guns
about as fast as they could, some
twenty-five or thirty shots being ex-
changed, but so far as known none Of
them took effect
Under Sheriff Yearla, having iufor-
nation that led him to believe that
Hy Bakers place on North Seventh
street was a bootlegging center, Sc
cured a search warrant and with Depu.
ties Fitzpatrick and Morris proceeded
10 the place to search IL. The first ef-
fort resulted in finding twenty-five
plnts Of liquor in the barn and also
some silks and other goods that looked
like stolen property.
E. Craig. the Frisco agent, had sew
eral times reported the theft Of goods
from the depot or cars, and as Baker
formerly worked for the company, it
was suspected that the goods dlscoy-
cred were those that had been stolen.
The officers therefore went back a sec
ond time accompanied by Mr. Craig.
for the purpose Of identifying the prop
erty. The agent, however, failed to
recognize the goods.
In the meantime the officers again
asked for Baker and we're told that he
had gone to see a doctor but they
heard hammering about the barn back
OF the house and went out to investi-
gate further Entering the barnyard.

inclosed by a seven-foot board fence,

Bartoo. the l5-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. V. o. Bartoo, formerly of Larned,
underwent the operation OF arterial
TRANSMISSION in hospital at Los An
geles on Feb II. in order 70 save, If
possible, the life of Joseph Davis, a
patient at that institution. Davis is
man of middle life and was an en-
tire stranger to the boy. who made
uch a great sacrifice because his heart
was touched by the mans desperate
condition.
During the operation the two lay in
cots side by side Davis, man of
middle age, and Bartoo, a polytechnic
high school student, whose veins were
surcharged with red eorpuscles.
The surgeons made an incision
in the boys right arm, similar
one in the right arm of the patient, and
connected the two wounds with tube.
Davis was under the influence of an
anaesthetic and knew nothing Of the
heroic effort to save his life.
The boy leaned on his left elbow
watching the flow of the vital fluid
The TRANSMISSION was so regulated that
his life was not endangered hut he be-
came very weak before the operation
was finished.
With every beat of his pulse the
blood was forced into the patients
veins and young Bartoo watched each
detail with the keenest interest. He
saw the color come to the haggard
face OF the hospital derelict, and If

GAVE HIS BLOOD TO ANOTHER

he had had a mirror, he could have
seen the color leave his own.
The surgeons suggested an anaes-
thetic for him, but he felt that he could
go through the ordeal easily.
SO far as courage went, he did not
weaken, but when the operation was
over he staggered from the cot to the
door and would have fallen but for
the supporting arms OF his father and
mother, who had waited outside.
Davis, when he became conscious,
commented upon his increased
strength, and, to all outward appear
ances, it seemed that miracle had
been performed His pulse beat
stronger than it had for days. and the
pint Of good red blood coursing
through his veins gave him a new and
perhaps certain grip on life
