WAS ROBBED OF HIS CLOTHES
Jack Spencer. Troy Man. Held Up Ia
"Jungles" Mondsy Evenlas

Jack Spencer, OF Troy, Mont.
was the victim OF a daylight rob.
berry which occurred Monday in
the jungles" a quarter of mile
west of the Great Northern depot,
where he was deprived of his coat,
hat and shoes and some little loose
change by three hoboes.
Spencer was slightly intoxicated
when he met the three men who
secured his wearing apparel but
was able to give Marshal Morley
and Constable McGreevy good
descriptions of his assailants. The
hold-up men used Spencer rather
roughly and beat and kicked him
about the face.
Worley and McGreevy searched
the 'jungles" for the robbers and
then went to Moravia in an auto
and walked back along the Great
Northern track in hopes of finding
them but their search was fruitless.
Spencer is the man who was
stabbed at Troy in row in a
saloon there few weeks ago and
who was brought here for medical
treatment.

FRIEDMAN
CURE TRIED
Nine Patients Inoculassd at Sandpoias
For Tuberculosis May Have
Sanitarium
STATE BOARD INTERPRETED
Would Not Allow Experiment By
Standpoint Physicians

DR.. Julius J. Meyer, of New
York City, inoculated nine patients
at Standpoint Monday with the
much heralded friedman bacteria
cure for tuberculosis. DIR. Meyer
has returned to Milwaukee but an
nouced before his leaving that if
his demonstration at Standpoint
was a success a sanatorium would
be established in this county.
DIR. Meyer first arrived in Sand
point last Thursday. Physicians
of Standpoint had been advised of
his coming and had planned to
conduct the Friedman expert
ment in DR.. McKinnons Office.
The state board of medical exami-
ners got wind of the plans of the
Standpoint physicians and notified
them that there would be something
doing if the plans were carried
out. T he Idaho authorities
seemed to have taken the position
that in as much as the Friedman
cure was pronounced a fake in
New York and DIR. Meyer had no
license to practice in this state that
experiments of the kind he had
advertised would conflict with the
state laws.
Many physicians of the county
uphold the action of the state
board of medical examiners.
When Friedman was in New
York City, it is claimed that he
sold the rights of his supposed
discovery to a syndicate of Jewish
doctors. When the cure was
turned down by the Public Health
Department, Friedman returned
to Europe and the syndicate was
left to hold the sack and many
physicians now assert that the trip
of DIR. Meyers and other repre-
sentatives of the syndicate through
the country is one planned to re-
imburse the concern without re-
gard for benefit or injury to patients.

LEONIA MAN
TAKES OWN LIFE
Tannas Mahall Fires Rifle at Friends
And Then Blows His Head Off
Saturday Afternoon
BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN INSANE
Deceased Had Been an Officer Of the
Macedonian Army


Herald from the Western News
Tannas Mahall committed sui
ide at the ranch home of George
Mccormick at Leonia last Satur-
day afternoon by shooting himself
through the head with a rifle.
Upon receiving word at the
sheriff's office here that Mahall was
trying to kill off the Mccormick
family under Sheriff Wyatt Paine
hurriedly left for the scene of the
disturbance, picking up Deputy
Sheriff Drake at Troy. But just
before reaching the scene they
were met and informed that
Mahall had killed himself.
While a homesteader named
j. p. Lewis was talking to Mr..
Mccormick in the latter's yard,
Mahall came along and stopping
asked Lewis if he had the money
he owed him for some work on the
homestead. Lewis replying soon,
Mahall passed along. As McCorm-
lex started to step into the house
he told Lewis he woul1 lend him
the money. The words were hard
ly from his lips when a bullet came
whizzing near the men, striking
the end of an addition to the house
passed entirely through the room
and barely missing Mrs. McCor-
mick, lost itself out of window.
After the first shot, the two men
springing into the house seized
rifles and hurried out on another
veranda. AS soon as the men
emerged from the house two more
bullets sang between them. Hur-
riedly reentering the house Lewis
climbed out of of south window
and hurried for help. But during
his absence no more shots were
fired.
Mahall had hid behind a stump
about 100 yards from the house
while firing and apparently getting
nervous over not seeing anyone
else to shoot at placed the muzzle
of the rifle below the chin, pulled
the trigger, blowing his face entire
ly off, resulting in instant death
About two months ago Mahall
was arrested, charged with shoot
ing horses belonging to James
Mccormick, a brother of George
Mccormick. But the evidence APP
parently being insufficient against
him he was turned loose.
The dead man was a Macedonian
az years of age, had taken out his
first citizenship papers and had
filed on a homestead. But most OF
the time he had made his home
with Mr.. and Mrs. Mccormick.
The dead man claimed to hav,
been an officer in the Macedonian
army. having had to leave the ole
country suddenly, and had trouble
with his sweetheart, was though
to have deranged his brain anC
caused his rash acts.
