Goodbye "OId Hundred"

Several days ago doctor of the
colored persuasion and of the voodoo-
hodoo variety pitched his tent in
Ardmore. He remained here just
long enough to gather in several
hundred good simoleons and, like the
tabled Arab, folded his tent-also
his sign-and Silently stole away"
To take the history of this partic-
ular case from it first chapter in
its Generations-About two weeks
ago a negro doctor" blew into Ard

ment that for the small sum of one
dollar per cure he would Danish from
the human system of both negro
and white such simple ,lments as

liver, softening of the brain, prema-
ture decayad infinitum. He stated
that one hundred and fifty would
be the limitof the number of patients
upon whom he would bestow the
blessings of his healing powers.
They bit-the one hundred and
fifty Both colors were about evenly

during his office hours. In fact, could
the shade of Harriet Beecher Stowe
have meandered into these 'parlors"
and seen the petted little Evas of
Ardmores white society sitting about
the drfnly lighted room and rubbing
elbows with the elite of coontown
while The doctor" mumbled his in
carnations over them, great and last
ing happiness would have been its
eternal portion.
A day or so ago, however, things
came to an end The doctor after
blessing a goblet of water and first
drinking from it himself passed it
down the line of the afflicted ones,
each of whom in turn, irrespective of
color, slipped of its cooling contents.

Knox Gives Fair Warning.

Washington. Feb 22.-Intervention
of the United States government to
obtain justice or at least fair trial
for the deposed President Madero OF
Mexico, as announced by Secretary
Knox at the cabinet meeting today,
was an unexpected development of
the state department policy in re-
gard to that republic. AS recently
as yesterday, it was announced there
was no intention to- depart from the
policy of non intervention in the
ever that this statement was based
upon the natural assumption that the
newly established Madero government
would observe the amenities of civ
ilized warfare in it's treatment of
prisoners of either the high or low
degree, and when the killing of Gus
tavo Madero gave ground for gen.
uine apprehension for the fate of the
ex-president, it was held that the
time had come to stretch forth re-
straining hand.
The administration feels that it
has not in any manner departed from
its policy of strict neutrality. Its ac-
tion was purely impersonal and prob
ably would have followed as surely
as if General Diaz had been captured
by Madero and threatened with death
without the process of law. The fact
is that il an official statement the
department did bring to bear influ-
ences which saved Diaz from death
when he was captured last fall.
Expect Mexicans to Be Grateful
The Mexican people themselves,
after the heat OF combat is over will
be the first to express gratitude to
the United States government for
preventing the placing of such a
spot on the reputation of their coun :
try as would follow what practically
would amount to the murder of de-
posed president.
Army and Navy Held Ready.
While it is hoped that the iHuerta
government will be able to draw to
it's support all of the revolutionary
leaders of the north and south, the
administration continues under the
belief that prudence dictates the
continuance of the military and naval
policy of preparedness.
Pursuant to this, the First and
Fifth brigades Of the army remain
under preparatory orders for foreign
service and the three army trans
ports which are due to arrive at CAL
weston in three days will be retained
there ready to embark troops at a
moments notice.

The first course served was on the

guest was provided with "beller" or

BANDIT HAS A
STRONG ALIBI

Winnipeg, Dec. 19.-The police are
completely at sea in the KrefchenkO
case and have given up hope of plac-
ing the Plum COulee bank robbery
and murder on his shoulders The
police learned beyond question today
that at the time the bank at Plum
Coulee was robbed and Manager Arm
old was murdered. that Krefchenlso
was at the home of a friend in Winni-
peg. His was the master mind, how
ever, they believe, who engineered the
robbery.
Krefchenko went to Plum Coulee
ten days before the robbery. The day
before the robbery he appeared on the
streets OF Plum COulee disguised In Il
black beard, with coat collar turned
up, and revealed himself TO three per-
sons. Chen he went to Winnipeg and
the real rObber appeared with a simi-
lar disguise, carried out tho robbery
successfully and killed the manager.
He was then driven miles northeast of
Plum Coulee, where he got rid of his
disguise In the bush, got on the Great
Northern flyer for st. Paul at Morris.
and when the pursuit had started, was
safely across the line, while the de-
scription sent out by the police differ-
ed widely from his appearance.
KrefchenkO remained hidden In
Winnipeg to throw the police off the
scent of the real criminal, feeling him.
self safe with his alibi.
The police are dealing with one of
the most cunning criminal minds in
America Yesterday afternoon Kref-
chento appeared in court on the NOM
inal charge OF giving a. revolver to a
man who had no permit to carry a.
gun, and was remanded for eight days.
No serious charge has yet been laid
against him.
