CALLED TO HAPPY
HUNTING GROUND
Hollow Horn Bear, a Noted Sioux
Chieftain Dies in Washington.
Body Sent to the West.


Observation-Disclosures Horn
Bear. big chief of the Sioux Indians,
on the Rosebud, South Dakota, res
ervation, and probably most famous
of all Sioux chieftains, died here ear
ly today of pneumonia.
For sixty-four years the big chief
had defed death on the war path,
the plains, the mountains and the
forest, but the inclemency of March
weather in Washington, where he
came to attend President Wilson
inauguration, was too much for the
old warrior
When he was stricken Wednesday
last the young chiefs of his party
consented to take him to the pale
face medicine man at a hospital,
where it was seen there was no hope.
Hollow Horn fingered in semi-con-
scious condition until early today
when. Just about the time the break
fast smoke was curling through the
tops of his peoples tepees on the
Dakota reservation, the Great Spirit
called him to the happy hunting
grounds
Born a pagan, Hollow Horn died a
devout christian. The Rev. VIM. H,
Ketchum, director Of the bureau OF
Catholic missions, gave him the last
rites. His body will be laid to rest
with those of his ancestors out West

DAMAGES AGAINST A DOCTOR
Surgeons Can't Tinker Upon Patients
and Get Away without Damages,
Says Georgia Court.

Failure on the part of a physician
or surgeon to render skilled treat
ment to his patients makes him Liable
for any damages which may accrue
to the patient from neglect or LACE
Of skill.
This was held by the state court Of
appeals Tuesday in a decision affirm
ing the judgment of the Bibb supe-
rior court in the case of Mrs. Anna
May Smith VS.. DR.. A. B. Hinkle, both
of Macon,
According to the evidence in the
case Mrs. Smith, the wife of amazon
city fireman, fell and dislocated her
shoulder. Dr. Hinkle was passing at
the time and the husband summoned
him to treat the suffering woman.
1t was alleged that DR.. Hinkle sat
Mrs. Smith down and placing his
unclean boot against her body VIC
lently pulled her arm until he pro-
nounced her shoulder back in posi-
ton. In her suit for $4,000 dam
ages Mrs. Smith claimed that DR..
Hinkle then went away and did not
return to give her any further atten-
ton. She says the shoulder was i'm
properly reset, and as a result a false
socket formed, which has permanent
ly injured her and caused her intense
pain and suffering.
The verdict which awarded Mrs.
Smith $500 and all court costs is sus-
tanned by the appellate court.
