LAME HALT AND BLIND
EIOCkED TO HIM IN DENVER

Denver, oct. 21.-Francis Schlatter,
the divine healer" whose preaehiuS
accompanied by apparently miracu-
lous cures created a profound sensa-
uon throughout the west, came 10
Denver from New Mexico, September
IS, 1895. While the stories of his
reported powers had preceded him
they were not given general credence
until his demonstration in this city,
During his stay here Schlatter was
the guest of former Alderman +. l..
Fox and addressed his audiences and
performed his cures in the front yard
of the Fox home. He remained only
week, but before the end Of that
time the railroads were bringing
train loads of sick, halt, lame and
blind to Denver to have Schlatter
heal them by laying on OF hands.
So great We're tho throngs that many
erected tents near the Fox home to
await their turn with the healer.
Schlattcr never more coat or hat and
took no money from the patients he
was supposed to have healed.
1t is believed by many who knew
Schlatter never wore coat or hat and
died in the deserts of New Mexico in
1897 and that the identity OF the body
found was fully established.

OMAHA PEOPLE DOUBT
IDENTITY or DEAD MAN

omaha, Oct. 2l.-Persons here who
saw Francis Schlatter in Denver in
1895 and who have recently seen the
man whose death is reported from
Hastings declare positively they We're
not the same. Copyrighted photo
graphs of the original Francis Schlat-
ter, known to be authentic, bear out
this judgment. 1t is also said their
methods were entirely dissimilar. The
Schlatter of 1895 spurned money and
when it was urged upon him imme-
diately distributed it among those
who seemed to need it.
He was a native OF Alsace- Lorraine.
and worked in Denver as IA shoemaker
some years before he became known
as a healer.
