Then John Shab-e-nay Started TrOu-
BILE on the Indian Reservation.
Friday afternoon, John Shab-e-nay
arrived at the county JAIL He ar
rived, riding in very uncomfortable
squatting position, on the platform at
the back CT a Pottawatomie Reserva-
delivery wagon. with his hands tied
at the back of the seat above his
head. His enrolment on the jaifs
register as a government prisoner
charged with introducing liquor onto
Indian lands followed. Today he was
bound over to the United States dis
trict court by Frank Campbell, Unit
ed States commissioner.
Shab-e-nay, according to today's
testimony before the commissioner,
arose in the early hours Friday morn
Mrs. Kack-Kack. a neighbor on the
Reservation, and there harvested
about ten bushels of corn. Later he
bartered the corn for alcohol at the
town of Hoyt and proceeded to get
outside Of the alcohol. Most of that
which he subsequently introduced
onto Indian land was inside his per-
son, but he is alleged to have arrived
there with at least a pint in bottle.
BY that time he was a very wild In
dian, according to the Indian police
man who brought him down. Armed
with a knife he had disturbed all the
peace in his vicinity. He refused to
be arrested and was taken into Gus
tody only after being 1assOed and
carefully "hog-tied." By the time he
had reached Topeka his inward fires
had considerably abated and he has
since been a very docile person.

why Reporters Sometimes Get
Things Twisted.

"A doctor was called. He told the
father OF the sick child that he must

toxin. The father tried to raise the
threw up the case and the little girl
died.
This il the way a story was beise
told in Topeka today. and people grew
indignant. It made their blood boil.
The idea of . doctor heartlesaly turn
ing away to let q little child die for
the lack OF s.!
A State Journal reporter started an
investigation. Doesn't the city supply
antitoxin for the treatment of diph-
iberia in cases where the family is
without funds? Yes, In some cases.
And does not the state do the same
thing? It does when 1t happens to
have 4 supply on hand.
But the doctor in this particular
case did not wait to secure the needed
would take time. So he bought with
his own money where he could do so
with the least loss of time, for the
child had been i'll since Saturday and
was considered hopeless by him when
he was first called Wednesday night.
Going on the assumption that while
there is life there is hope he battled
against the disease. He hurried a
trained nurse to the bedside with in
structions to remain on duty as long
as needed. He had been able TO 9e-
cure only a limited amount of the
antitoxfn for the first treatment. He
found where more could be procured
and administered it. He made a half
dozen trips during the few hours be-
tween the time he was called and the
death of the child. He also consulted
with other physicians. All these
things he did without hope of any re-
ward, for he knew the family was too
poor to pay for his services.
He was not thinking of pay. He
was thinking of saving that little
child. The reward he received was an
attack upon his professional reputa-
ton and his worthiness as a man.
The foregoing are facts the report
err learned by talking with the drug
gists who supplied the antitoxin. He
also secured the name of the nurse
who was called in attendance, and
he talked with the mother of the
child.
He did all any doctor could have
done. He spared neither his money
nor his time said the mother.
This is a type of the stories heard
in any average city by newspapers
daily. And stin people wonder why a

LACK Of SKILLED
FRUIT LABOR MAY
PROVE SERIOUS

Palisade and the entire upper end
OF the valley face serious scarcity
of skilled labor with which to handle
the coming peach crop. Ranchers
from the peach section are coming
daily to this city in search of skilled
packers and pickers. The lack OF
efficient packers is felt most keenly
by the upper valley ranchmen.
They claim that there is an abun-
dance OF labor but that most of it is
unskilled and unable to properly han
die the harvest. The rush will not
start for several weeks yet but the
shortage is already being felt. The
rancher who has all his help secured
feels lucky.

man who was in this city yesterday

the applicants were capable CT doing
