aggregating 34.357,6S9, a gain Of AZ

IN osTEoPATTs DEFENSE.
New Point of Law Is Raised by At
tOFney.

Liberal. Kan, April PA most in
teresting and important point of law
has been raised in the case of the
state VS.. DR.. Eugene Pellette, a young
osteopath, formerly of Hutchinson,
who is being prosecuted here for al
legged violation of the law in the prac-
tice of his profession. The attorney
for the defense has raised the point
that a physician of any kind, who
holds himself out to the public as such
ana who undertakes in god faith to
cure a patient without intending to
injure the patient, is not criminally
liable if the patient is injured or dies
but is only civilly liable for damages.
The decision of the question has been
postponed till the Septembe term of
the district court.
The Kansas association of osteo-
paths is inclined to believe that the
prosecution is being urged on by the
''old school, practitioners and intends
to make a test case of this case. In
accordance with this intention It has
voted 100000 for DR.. Pellette's de-
tense.

an. Mrs. Goheen was formerly an
Emporia girl.
Detectives who swore to the COM
plant allege that the cast taken of
the hoof prints about the spot where
Mrs. Goheen's body was found, shows
the shoes were of the regulation rae

following day her body was found by
a boy In a pasture. Jeffries, it is al
legged, visited Mrs. Goheen until late
upon the night she disappeared.
When first arrested the editor
treated the matter as a joke and then
declared it to be an attempt to pre-
vent his confirmation as postmaster

matter to an arbitration or not There
are indications that the railroads will
suggest that the whole matter be
threshed out before a general arbitra-
ton board in the same manner that
the anthracite coal situation was adj
justed.
The demands of the engineers, it was
generally reported today are to be
followed by demands for increased
wages by other railroad employees
and a general arbitration board would
be able to bring out a settlement of
these possible wage problems.

local Ladies' Aid society here during
February has now been taken into the

Fields slapped Mrs. Mary Baucom-
Fruitless efforts were afterwards
made to get the Ratchet buried and
Mrs. Baucom had Mrs. Fields arrested
and brought before Judge P. I. Trebil-
