His Friend Hurt:
He Helped Him
injured Man Laughed When Simple
Treatment Was Suggested, But
He Thanked His C0mrade
Later

Once upon a time word came to Henry
A. Voehl, of Plainfeld, N. ]. , that close
friend had been injured, and full OF
anxiety he visited the afflicted man, who
was suffering from sprained ankle.
1t was so bad that the leg had turned
black, said Mr.. Voehl in relating the
story. II told him I would have bin
ont in a week and he laughed at me
But I took him bottle of Sloan's I.ini-
ment, that night he put some on and
noticed the ankle felt better. told him
to use it every day, and in three days
his, ankle was practically we'll. In four
days he was working. He gladly admits
that Sloan's Liniment put him on his
feet"

OAKLEY.
Exterminating Game.

AfAANA NuMANs
In the letter last week in the Mil
ford Chronicle, which stated that one
9 cause of the scarcity of game is at
tributable TO dogs Running free dur
ing the summer months has caused
more or less discussion in and around
Oakley. This will not apply to Oak
ley, for but few dogs are permitted
TO run at large in this vicinity. It is
the cats, the hawks, and especially
the traps" take these away and the
game will be plentiful again in a short
time. Few follow trapping have any
regard for the law. They commence
setting traps in September, and con-
tinue trapping until March These
traps get ten rabbits to the gunners'
one One party in Oakley has a rec
ord of 140 rabbits trapped to date.
while another has forty-five. This
accounts for only two in the neigh
borhoOd. If gunners weary of walk |
ing, they stop and shoot at a mark. |
and then these same trappers pro- |
claim that the gunners either killed /
or scared the game away. How many 1
gunners have killed 80 rabbits in a |
whole season? Unless the laws are
enforced, in a few years there will /
be no game to trap or shoot The
cats get more game birds than the
hunters kill in a season, while the
hawks are a terrible toll taker of bird
and young rabbit life. The trappers
refuse to let gunners hunt their land
while their traps are always ready to
get game. The writer knows of one
man who killed II raccOOns in the
month of August. The whole trouble
is with the fact that we have no game
wardens to enforce the laws, and that
is why game is scarce.

It up night and day.

GV4EAHNE4NS AMI Din DIX,
The police department is anxiously
watching the fight over Chief Healey
between Fred Lundin, Eugene Pike
and other Thompson-Lundin pOliti-
cians-on one side and the MasOns and
loop business men on the other.
Thompson will decide whether or
not to keep Healey as chief in the
near future. The pressure to Gust
Healey is getting very strong from
Lundin and his pals. At the same
time the MasOns say Healey is the
first member of their organization to
head the Chicago police department
within memory and they want him
kept there. And the Assn of Com
merce and other Big Business organ
izations like him for the work he
did for them as head of the mounted
squad during boost. Chicago trade
conventions and parades.
The politicians say they can't do
anything with Healey unless they run
to the mayor first. They usually re-
fer to him as the "old woman" There
is a story around the City Hall that
Fred Lundin's brother, believing his
relationship to the boss of the
Thompson-Lundin faction sufficient
pull" went to Healey for a favor
and the chief turned him down.
Healey's life has been made miser-
able through the administration of
the Sunday closing law, it is said. The
chief is up in the air. When one of
his coppers makes a mistake and
grabs a saloonkeeper friendly to the
Lundin faction for keeping open Sun
day, Healey is made the goat" The
politicians go to him and advise him
to suppress the name Of the saloon
keepers. If he doesn't a kick goes
to Lundin. If he does the reformers
and newspapers may get wind Of it
and raise a boiler.
Thompson's political enemies
claim that less than 10 Oer cent of

turns up like the Cadillac cafe
Healey gets the newspaper lashing.
But for some strange reason
Healey likes this hot-water job as
chief during these mad days of the
wet-and-dFy scrap. They say he's
got 4 real liking for a job with plenty
of pomp and supposed authority to
it, and that before he became chief
his prOudest moments were when he
rode ahead of the mounted squad in
parade with his brass buttons
shined up.
Healey lost his best defender
against the knocking Of Lundin and
Pike when jim Pugh lost his political
pull at the City Hall. Pugh and the
chief are close pals and whenever
any politicians suggested bouncing
Healey, Pugh always stood by him.
Even Thompson is said to like
Healey very much personally. And
the Masons are sure to get very
peeVed at the mayor if he gets rid
Of Healey and finds that he'll have
to stick a Catholic on the job.
But Lundin is the wielder of the
big stick. The politicians are now
wondering if Healey will walk the
plank after his friends, Jim Pugh
and Richard Folsom, who have paid
the price for getting in bad with the
powerful Lundin.
Chief Healey says he doesn't in
tend to resign and he doesn't believe
the mayor will ask him to.
