SAD WRECK FROM
MORPHINE HABIT
Terrible Condition of a
Strange Young Man.
A FORMER SURGEON IN ARMY
Contracted Habit in Philip
pineS-HiS Body Solid
Mass of Sores.
The Greensboro Inquirer says:

The Greensboro Inquirer says:
II. K. Stout, a young man addicted
to the morphine and cocaine habits,
and who has used SO many hypoder-
mic injections that his body is one
solid sore, walked into the city hos
pital Friday and asked for PERMISSION
to remain until he found some place
where he might be treated. He came
to Greensboro on the Illinois Central
train and at the suggestion of Con-
city limits and went to the city hos
pital. He claims that he came to
this city from Paducah, where he
went from Memphis, Tenn.
Stout was taken in by the matron
of the hospital. Although she had no
place in the hospital proper for him
to stay, she placed a mattress on the
floor of one Of the rooms OF an old
house nearby and granted him
permission to occupy this. The hos
pital also furnished him with NOR
phine and medicines. Young Stout
sleeps in the room but spends but lit
tie tine there during the day. rs the
numerous sores about his body caused
by his own hand will not permit him
10 be seated one minute.
Stouts body is one solid sore and
he states that it contains 1854 sep

has injected the hypodermic needle In
an attempt 10 keep his body filled with
morI hiue. There Is not a place up
on his entire body where a dime
could be placed so that it would not
touch one of the many sores, and his
breast. abdomen, arms and legs are
one solid sore and bleeding.
Soutt has pictures with the name Of
Young Mccoy" on the back of them.
which he claims to be his own. The
pictures are Of young man, in the
bloom of life posing as a prize fighter.
Stout states that he was educated I'm
Delaware college of the same State,
When a young man he was appointed
TO the United States army as a ply
stefan and served almost three years
before he was taken seriously i'll In
the Philippine islands. He was forced
to lay six weeks without medical
attention, owing to the delay of the
medicines from the States, ard during
this time the attending physician
placed him under the influence Of
morphine, from which he never was
entirely free. He immediately began
the use of the opiate, and has con-
tinued until he is now in "a living
hell" -
Stout states that if he did not
have the morphine in his present state
that lie would collapse within four
hours. be a raving maniac within "a
hours and would die within 60 hours.

come to know Judge Settle well.
The Clarion remembers we'll the
arduous struggle he made seven years
ago in which he redeemed the dis
trict from Republican rule, and has
watched his course on the Appellate
bench. He has made II safe, conserva-
tive and able judge and has reflected
credit on the district and State.
With the adjournment Of the Court
of Appeals for the summer. Judge Set
tie will enter upon an active canvass
for the nomination and to those who
know him 1t is unnecessary TO state
with what ability and vigor he will
prosecute his canvass.

life is without blemish; he is just,
upright and honest man, and We COM
mend him to the people of Hancock
county whom we believe will approve
his course by the cordial endorsement
he is entitled to receive.-LHawesville

Has New Plan
Sec. to the Commissioner

Guthrie, Oklahoma-Declar that
the federal liquor license tax may be
used to great advantage in enforcing
the Oklahoma prohibition laws, State
Enforcement Attorney Fred 5. Cald-
we'll today made public letter to all
of the county attorneys of Oklahoma,
in which he outlined new method OF
attack upon violators OF the liquor laws
In his letter he calls attention to
section |, Article 3, Of the enforcement
act, which makes it a crime for any
one within the state to have possess
ion of Intoxicating liquors, with the
intention of violating any Of the pro-
Wis ons of the act.
Accordingly" says Caldwell, "in
order to make case against one
chafged with such illegal possession
o, intoxicating liquors, it is only nec-
cessary to prove two things-posse-
sion of liquors, and an intention Of
violating any provi sion of the statute
When these two things are shown to
concur Jne gum VI pho uciShooho %
established absolutely"
Caldwell then takes the position that
the crime of illegal possession must
be committed by every violator of the
liauor law, AS he must have possession
actual or constructive, before he can
violate the law.
Accordingly" he says, "if we de-
sire to strike at the root of this crime
we must prosecute the offense of illeg-
al possession"
Caldwell declares nearly every vio-
lator of the Oklahoma liquor laws pro-
tects himself from the prosecution 10y
the federal government by paying the
special tax required of liquor dealers
The enforcement acts makes the pay
ment of the federal tax prima facis
evidence of intention TO violate thu
law. Under the provisions OF the act
of congress of June 2l, 1905, prosecu-
ting attorneys of the state can obtail
from ]. II. Simpson, internal revenue
oollector at Leavenworth, kans., Ger
titled copies of "Record Ten" whicl
is the record of persons who have pai'
the special tax required by the Uniteo
States of the liquor dealers. Ii is fur
nished at the rate of dollar for 10
words. and Caldwell claims that th'
record is all that is necessary to prov
intent to violate the law.
Record evidence of the possession 9
liquors, Caldwell declares, may be OF
tain "a from the records of interstat
carers at the point OF delivery
The Beaver herald. [volume] (Beaver, O.T. [Okla.]) 1895-1923, 1909-08-26

Caldwell then tells OF the large num-
Der OF actions he has brought in Greek
county under this new line of pro-
cedure subpoenaeing the Frisco rail-
road agent to get record proof Of the
possession of liquors, and using the
government license record TO prove in
tent He says the criminal court has
not passed on this line of cases, but be-
lieves his position will be upheld. He
says the only difficulty in proving pos.
session will be where the persons used
fictitious names in shipping liquors
This will be ended when the new fed
eral law, requiring all liquor ship
ments to be plainly labeled and to be
addressed only to real consignee, goes
into effect January |, 1910.

So numerous are becoming the in
quiries relative to Oklahoma's school
land sale, from % to 500 letters daily
fr m all parts of the world. that Sales
Department John N. Shepler, has pre-
pared the following form letter and
has had printed several thousand cop
les which are forwarded in reply to re-
quests for information: The sales de-
partment is verifying the title to ev-
cry tract to be sold by checking it with
the original patents issued by the sec
retary of the interior to insure abso-
lutte correctness. A pamphlet is being
prepared for free distribution, giving
a description of each tract by counties
and townships, showing the appraised
value, topography, soil, etc J., and full
detailed information regarding sale,
but this pamphlet cannot be completed
by the printer for at least 80 days. After
this pamphlet is completed and
the advertising placed in the
newspapers, fully sixty days
must elapse before the actual
date of sale, to give time to investi-
gate the lands. This will necessarily
place the date of actual sale about No
vember. The New College Lands
contain 1,050,000 acres, that are un-
leased and without preference right
These lands lay in Major, Woods, Gus
tor Dauoy Wood ua ri uorpar Pooo,
Mills, Ellis, Cimarron, Texas and
Beaver counties The lands i'm each
county will be sold at public auction
at the door of the county court room
of the county seat. The terms are a
cash payment of per cent of the pur-
chase price of tke land, except where
the land sells for less than 1000, in
which case the cash payment shall be
$5u on any quarter section, the balance
of the purchase price may be paid in
forty annual payments, with interest
at the rate of per cent, provided that
after five years, the purchaser may
pay any or all deferred payments Pur.
chaser is not compelled to reside OF
lano, but must make substantial i'm.
provements thereon. Said New Col
lege Lands are classed into three
classes agricultural, grazing A, and
grazing B. Grazing B has less than *
acres agricultural land to the quarter
and one purchaser my buy as mucl
of said class as two sections. Grazing
A class has more than 20 acres and les
than 80 acres agricultural land to the
quarter and the purchaser may buy
one section of said class. The agricul
tural class must be sold in quartz!
section tracts to the purchaser. On
leased land the lessee has a preference,
right to take the land at the highes
bid; should the lessee elect not t.
take the land at the highest bid, the
purchaser must pay the lessee the val
ue of the improvements. The detail
work is so great and the proposition 81
important that the date of actual sal
may not be reached until about No
vember and may be later.
