e9uLTtR's QUEER STORY

At a gathering in Milwaukee a
well known minister was called on
to tell a story, and this is what he
told:
"Did you ever hear of Coulter's
hell? Of the two men lost by the
great Lewis and Clark expedition
of 1903 on its long journey through
the northwest one was named
Coulter. He was captured by In
dians, who stripped him and set
him to running the gantlet.
"Out running their blows, he
snatched a spear from the last In
dian, kille' him with it and ran in
to the mountains naked and wound
ed, but free and armed. Wander
ing toward the southeast, he pres
emily found himself in O land
where the forces of nature appear
ed to have gone mad together.
Rivers from which he sought TO
drink ran hot water, boiling foun-
tains gushed hundreds of feet into
the air, volcanoes uf black mud
vomited at him, bubbling fountains
of snow white mud gushed around
with others of crimson and blue
and green. A mountain Of pure
sulphur crystals rose on one hand,
and from beside a stream rose an
other composed of black glass al
most as clear as a window pane.
"At last, escaping from the
place. he was found by some trap.
pers, who clothed him and took
him to st. Louis where they re-
ported him as one whose mind had
been wrecked by his experiences.
Wherever he told OF the frightful
country which he swore he had
seen men roared with mirth at the
yarn an3 made him tell and retell
it till within a few years it went
all over the west as an example Of
the effects of the horrors Of being
lost on the human mind. 1t was
commonly known as ''the story of
Coulter's hell" nnd under that
name it frequently appeared in the
eastern papers in the curly thirties
and forties. Coulter himself finally
died regarded to the last as a hope
less maniac.
"And then in 1869 some Montana
trappers wandered into the region
and came back with the astonishing
tale shat Coulter had told the truth
and never been insane at all. The
government Immediately rushed
soldiers and scientists into the
country and before long il became

Or. SAMUEL S. MCDOWELL

At 5:l5 Monday evening as the
sur was sinking behind the noun
taihs. he loved SO well, Or. Samuel
>, Mcdowell passed into the Great
Beyond.
DR.. Mcdowell was born in Ken
lucky, April II. 1910. When 10
years of age, he crossed the plains
to California with Abner and Issac
Wiseman. half brothers. They re-
NAMED in California atfbut 7 years
and then came back to Glover Val
ley in this county. The Wiseman
brothers settled there and young
Mcdowell remained with them for
a time and then vent back to Iowa.
From there he went to Ohio and
entered the Cincinnati Medical
college rom which he graduated.
He located in Kentucky and prac-
ticed his profession for several
years and then moved to Missouri,
where he pracriced until about 1894
when he came to this county and
later opened an Office in Elko.
About a year ago he was taken
with the grippe which developed
into tuberculosis. He sought medi-
cal aid from his brother physicians
in Elko and last fall he went to
Southern California in the hope
that a change of climate would
benefit him. There he consulted
specialists, but their skill, com
bined with climate, gave him no
relief and he returned to Elko.
For a few days after his return, he
was about the streets, but gradual
y grew weaker until he was unable
to leave the house. Four days agu
he took to his bed and last evening
he peacefully answered the call to
the other shore.
DR.. Mcdowell was the father of
8 Children, 6 by his first wife and
3 by the surviving widow. Four of
the children are living. They are
Mrs. Vaughn, Rocky Ford, Colora-
do; Edgar, Emmett, California; Mrs.
Griffith, Elko, Nevada; Irwin,
Provo Utah.
DIR. Mcdowell has been a famil-
lar figure in Elko for many years.
He was devoted to his profession
and was ever ready to minister to
rich and poor alike. Faults he had
Ike other men but these we're more

endesred him to a legion Of friends.

large amount of scalp bills to pay,
a jury list to be drawn and other
matters to be attended to at this

All signs point to a very pros
porous year for Nevada. An abund-
snce of snow is piled up in the
mountains to furnish water for ir-
rigation and domestic purposes and
the mining outlook was never
brighter. Everything indicates a
banner year for the state.

Rules for Conduct.

The ten rules of conduct which
the school board of Santa Barba-
"a, CAL, has had distributed for
use of the children in the public
schools of the city might well be
used throughout the country,
surely their careful observance
would be a powerful factor in
creating a reputation for courtesy
and consideration on behalf of
the rising generation. Here are
the rules:
l. To be polite is to have a
kind regard for the feelings and
rights of others.
Be as polite to your parents,
brothers. sisters and schoolmates
as you are to strangers.
3. Look people fairly in the
eyes when you speak to them or
they speak to you.
4. Do not bluntly contradict
any one.
5. 1t is not discourteous to re-
fuse to do wrong.
6. Whispering, laughing,
chewing gum or eating at lee
lures in school or at places of
amusement is rude and vulgar.
z. Be doubly careful to avoid
any rudeness to strangers such
as calling out to them, laughing
or making remarks about them.
Do not stare at visitors.
s. In passing a pen, pencil,
knife or pointer, hand the blunt
end toward the one who receives
il.
9. When a classmate is recit-
ing, do not raise your hand until
after he has finished.
10. When you pass directly in
front of any one, or accidentally
annoy him, say Excuse me. I"
and never fail to say Thank
you!" for the smallest favor.
On no.account say Thanks"
