''YARB DOCTOR
BELIEVED WIZARD
Strange Old Man in Missouri
Who Embittered the r.
Countryside.
is SHOT TO DEATH
Suspected of Setting Fires and De,
stroying Grain, He Is WayIaid at
~. &. Night by Angry Neishbors D.
,, and Killed. !

Kansas City.-High up in lonely
cabin, on an elevation in an overflow
district Of the Missouri river, for more
than 80 years the mysterious "yarE
doctor of Charlton county brewed his
medicines from herbs Of the forest and
made prophecies to the country folk
Who he was or where he came from
no one ever knew. He gave his name
as Sturman, but he never revealed his
true identity. His prophecies of death
and calamity came true so surely that
the people Of the vicinity accredited
him with the powers Of wizard and
feared him.
1t is said that he predicted the pres
ent world war, declaring way back in
the early seventies that Gin the las
part Of the first quarter Of the new
century the harvest fields will r. be
stripped of their cleaners, as they will
be fighting a foe on a foreign soil, with
weapons not seen before"
- All of his remedies the old doctor
prepared in a room which he allowed
no one to else to enter. The gray
weather-beaten house straddled the
mound like drunken horseman, look
ing as if at any time it might reel into
the lap of the swamp lands below.
A Tall, Bent Figure.
The appearance of the old man was
in keeping with his habitation. A tall
bent figure bumped over a cane
black eyes that glittered under
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1918-10-25

rhatchlike eyebrows; long, unkempt
beard and hair, surmounted by COON
skin cap.
The sight of him coming down the
road in his ramshackle buggy, drawn
by rickety old gray mare, made the
children scamper from the roadside.
The old man was a cripple when he
mysteriously put in his appearance in
the Missouri township. He was able to
get around only by means of his horse
and buggy. Although he gave freely
and without charge of his remedies,
he refused to "neighbor" with anyone.
AS he slipped his toddy In the little
crossroads store he quarreled with
the bystanders. He was constantly
engaged in some lawsuit and made
many bitter enemies.
, And then there came July night
when the men Of the community decid-
ed the old doctor had been a neighbor-
hood nuisance long enough. There
had been several fires in the township,
Buggy-wheel tracks were seen in the
vicinity of each. Following the fires
u number of sacks Of wheat that We're
loaded at the old Keytesville landing
ready to be shipped to Kansas City
were cut one night and thousands Of
bushels of grain lost. The same
wheel tracks were seen near the land
ing. The community was enraged.
The old "yarb DOCTOR was held re-
sponsible.
The next afternoon, as he was jog
ging homeward, number of men am
pushed in the lonely road riddled his
. body with bullets and hastily buried
him in shallow grave.
? Superstitious Fear.
The community approved, but later
on a dozen men were arrested for the
murder. When the court ordered the
body of the murdered man to be ex-
humed the whole neighbOrhOod was
alarmed. They feared life might come
again to the old doctor. Prayer meet
ings in the churches and at the old
camp-meeting ground were set for the
day.
Each man arrested, however, proved
? an alibi. The prosecution was sudden
~ ended. The body was supposedly
nailed up in walnut box and buried
in q deep grave. The neighborhOod
rested easier.
The grave in the woods, however, is
said to be haunted spot

NEW YORK. May 30. - That
Georges Carpenter, the French
heavyweight has not lost his punch
or boxing skill as result of his
three years service in the army was
.conclusively demonstrated recently
at the expense Of an American boxer
who took ring liberties with the
French pugillst. 1t was Segt,
Ray William OF the American army
who tried to rough II with Carpenter
in the first round OF a boxing ex-
hibition at st. Afghan. Lolr-et-Cher.
As result william was knocked out
in the second round and the mem

mind for years to come.
A crowd Of more than 10000 wit
messed the athletic sports at st. Aig-
nan. General Cottez of the French
army presided, with Brigadier Gem
erals Alexander and Volruth of the
American army assisting. After
Anderson had won the hundred
yards in ~ seconds, the 220 in 2S
and steele had Broken the tape for
the mile race in 5.34 minutes. a
four round, or rather what was to
nave been a four round boxing ex-
hibition, was put on with the French
champion Georges Carpenter and
Sergt- Ray william as the contest
ants
Cheered by his friends among tho
spectators william started in with
rush that nearly took the French
champion off his feet he planted
some heavy blows to the head and
body and Carpcnue was surprised;
he had expected a mere sparring
exhibition. william had the best OF
the first round and was loudly ap-
plduded as he went TO his corner.
1t was plain to all that Carpenter
meant business when he stepped out
for the second round. He tented
William into knot. iabbed him
lightly in the stomach with his left
which caused the American to lower
his guard and crossed his right to
the chin and william went down and
out The round had lasted ten
seconds.
After william came to, he shook
hands with Carpenter and said: "I.
got mine. | am satisfied" Later he
explained to friend that he UNDER
stood now why they spelled IL
Georges: There are so many of
him." he said.
