be done by every boy before he
could take part in the days

made spendid progress in
their studies. Swimming four
times a day and fishing the rest

MANSLAUGHTER
Henry Ferber Dies from Effect Of q
Kick, and Henry Schultz Under
Arrest the Outcome Of Barn
Dance and Too Much
Booze

Another tragedy, the result OF
our old friend Booze, was enact.
ed in kilborn township last
week. On Friday evening a
barn dance was given at the
barn of Louis Schuler, and the
inspiring beer keg was in such
complete evidence that several
encounters took place, with John
Barleycorn as the principal fight
ing force. 1t was between two
and three o'clock in the morning
when nearly all the participants
in the dance had gone home that
the tragedy occurred which has
resulted in the death of one man
and the arrest of another on a
charge Of manslaughter.
Henry Schultz an unmarried
man about % years of age who
lives with his father and mother
on a farm near Corona, and
Henry Ferber, who has been a
resident of kilborn township,
for a quarter of a century
were among those who fingered
around the beer keg after most
of others had gone home.
According to evidence SUBJ
mitted at corners jury summon
ed by Coroner Flet Sunday after
noon, it appears that Schultz
had been engaged IN a rough and
tumble fight with one Rolf, and
had gotten the worst of it, and
leaving his former antagonist
had come over and struck Henry
Ferber, who had taken no part
in the melee, but was standing
near by. The blow nearly
knocked Ferber from his feet,
but recovering himself he flew
at Schultz and soon had him
down on his back, and it is said
would have choked him to death
if othess 4 lad not int,rfered and
pulled the men apart.
Peace seemed tO be restored,
and Ferber was away from
Schultz, and assisting one of his
friends with a horse and buggy
when Schultz rushed over to
Ferber aud kicked him in the
abdomen. Ferber started to
walk to Chas. Ferber's on an
adjoining farm where he had
stabbed his horse, accompanied
by two little nephews, twelve or
fourteen years Of age, who stat
ed that their uncle was obliged
to stop in his walk andlay on the
ground for half an hour because
of the pain in his stomach. He
arrived at his home on the Gus
Ferber farm and went to bed,
but shortly after he called his
brother and asked him to call
a doctor, stating that one of the
horses had kicked him when he
went to the barn to close the
door. He later confessed that

that Japan and Great Britain and

Assurances of the success in Amerl-

brought from Europe by DIR. John o.
Polak of the Long Island College Hos
pital, who arrived on the Celtic last
Saturday.
DR. Polak, who with DR.. Reubon

sity of Freiburg for the American

"On this my third trip to study the

DR.. Polak, Il learned that 1t has

sible, is that the Twilight Sleep can
be successfully administered only in
the specially arranged quarters of
hospital and under the care of special
lists who are giving individual and
particular attention to each separate
case.
THE method is not suitable for
general practice, nor should American
patients expect treatment in their own
homes.
Il was pleased also at the improve
ment of the German technic over what
had been attained in 1912. At that
time injections of scopolamin and
morphine were used, while now COM

Although the war in Europe will
doubtless interfere with the importa-
tion of twilight preparations, Dr.
Polak is of the opinion that with the
experiments now being made in the
