HYPNoTiST SUED
1Y HIS "SUBJECT"
Lad Was Injured During the Perform
ance al Straw a Year Ago.

Geo. Newman, the hypnotist, who
Roundup some time ago, was sued for
$4,000 damages by young lad
Oscar Larson, who was his subject -
The Minneapolis Journal has the fol.
lowing to say in part regarding the
suit:
After hearing from 15.year-old Os.
car Larson, a story of cruelties de.
clared to have been practiced on the
youth by an itinerant 'hypnotist' with
whom he toured the country in 1911.
II, District Judge w. E. Hale, award.
ed SIS 900 damages in the $4,000 suit
brought against Chris Neseth, also
known as C. A. George Newman, the
'hypnotist.'
ION the witness stand young Oscar
told that he was roughly treated after
going on the road. He testified that
he was kicked and beaten because he
would not go on the stage and was
frequently beaten for not performing
to the satisfaction of Newman.
Oscar said he was compelled to lie
with his head resting on one chair and
his heels on another, and, with his
body rigid, hold three large men. Be-
cause he was too weak to withstand
the strain and let the men fall one
night while performing at Straw, Mon
tana, he was badly hurt and was later
beaten.
Another alleged act was to pin the
boys lips together and have him walk
thru the audience for persons to pull
out the pins. The blood test was
declared by the boy to be the most
painful. Newman would tighten a
strap around the boys forearm, he
said, forcing the blood withdraw from
his hand, and, pretending to the audi
ence that he could control the circu-
lation of blood. would loosen the
strap and allow the blood to return to
its proper channels. The pain from
this operation. the boy declared. would
cause him to lay awake nights.
Evidences of rough treatment. 1t
was contended. were shown In that the
boys lips we're badly swollen and that
the drum Of one ear is impaired. That
the boy is subject to attacks of ap-
pendicits, traceable to severe strain
was testified to at the court hearing" :"

BIG SEED FRAUD
IS UNCOVERED.
ALFALFA SEED SOLD IN EAST
AND FALSELY BRANDED
MONTANA PRODUCT.

HELENA, MONTANA, May 21.-
A number of complaints have already
reached the office of J. NJ. Kennedy,
commissioner of agriculture and pub
licity, to the effect that certain seed
houses in eastern states are in the
habit of purchasing a comparatively
small quantity Of Montana alfalfa seed
and advertising thru the farming Sec
tions of the eastern and middle west
states that they have Montana grown
alfalfa seed in unlimited quantities for
sale, the plan being to purchase a lit
tie Montana seed and sell great deal
and call it seed from Montana.
Recently Commissioner Kennedy's
attention has been called on three or
four occasions to the case of one we'll
known seed firm in Milwaukee who
are known to have secured carload
of Montana alfalfa seed and sold more
than 60 carloads of what they inform
ed their customers was Montana
grown seed.
The assistance of the department of
agriculture and publicity has been
asked to prevent the continuance of
this fraud upon the reputation of Mon
tana seeds.
Montana is known to produce the
best of seed on the market in the
United States, but as the supply from
Montana is limited it appears to be
the custom of some seed houses in
the middle west to buy seed in Utah.
Idaho and Oregon and label it Mon.
tana seed.
The Milwaukee firm against which
the complaint is made advertises that
they sold two million pounds of alfal.
ia seed in 1911. This will be more
than 60 cars, allowing 80 thousand
pounds to the car. Yet it is known
that they secured in this state but
one carload of Montana alfalfa. In
their circulars and advertising mat
ter they constantly give the impress
sion that all their seed is Montana
grown.
The alfalfa products company Of
Great Falls, of which the famous DR..
w. X Sudduth is president, has recent
ly pointed out to Mr.. Kennedy that the
particular vice of this practice on the
part of eastern seed houses is that the
seed sold will not give satisfaction mas
much as it is not adapted to the north.
erly latitudes Of Wisconsin and MINI.
esota, and it is frequently infected
with weevil.
Montana is therefore In danger Of
losing its high standing as { good
seed state, and the department is ap-
pealed to to aid in the exposure OF the
frauds that are thus being perpetrated
upon Montana's well earned reputa-
tion as great seed producing state.
Commissioner Kennedy has taken
the matter up energetically and win
promptly take steps to stop as tar q
possible the continuance Of this mn.
fair method Of trading upon Montana
reputation. So.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, May o.
Disputes in the West Virginia coal
fields took new angle last night,
when 1000 miners employed in the

lies left their homes and sought the
protection of the United Mine Work
ers Of Ameica. 1t is thought all of
them intend to live in the streets.
The action of the New River field min

have complicated a situation that is
already mixed and serious. The coal

Coal field has been of long du-
ration. Thrice martial law has been
proclaimed and is still in effect, altho
but 20 soldiers are in that field.
