HOW MUCH OF THIS DO
YOU SUPPOSE is TRUE!

Field and Farm
The Aching Tooth: Old Doc Hoff-
man was the town factotum at Lake
City when that place was on the map
as a hurrah mining camp. He ran the
village drug store when il was not
running him, but this did not keep him
out Of mischief all the time and SO as
side lines he practiced medicine be-
sides serving as the official dentist of
the district whenever the population
felt inclined that way. One miserable
day someone brought in the bleached
bones of the prospector, S. C. Foote.
He had been missing for three years
and naturally the simple town folk in
quest Of amusement as the means Of
something to do strolled around to the
drug store to see the human debris and
speculate in their whimsical ways as to
just how their respected citizen had
come to his death in such a God-for-
saken place in the hills. The next day
DR.. Joseph Mcdonald heard incident
ally about the ghastly find and calcu-
lated in his foxy fashion that it was
time to make q formal call on his
friend Hoffman. He did not care SO
much about the ossified remains as .
drink of booze out Of the stock Of
drugs. He had no mortal fear in his
stout for drugstore whiskey as most
men haye.
The bones would not be sufficient Of
themselves to propagate the refresh-
ment and 20 he had to think further in
order to get what he needed most. Fin
ally the idea came to him. He would
go up and tackle the doc about an sch
ing tooth. After describing how ter
ribly his nerves were shattered by the
offensive moiar Hoffman prescribed
the usual remedy for such . trying or
deal and brought out tumbler full Of
booze that would have made q good
sized horse-drink, a. such measures
were taken in those frothy days.
In few minutes after the remains
Of poor Foote had been examined and
commented upon it came time 10 pull
the tooth and TO be doubly sure about
It the patient was forced to take an
other swig. Now said old Escula-
Plus, producing the forceps," ,"open your
mouth and let me zee your teeth. The
happy victim sprang the trap, the doe
took one short but excited glance into
tho cavernous orifice and fell back in
hopeless dismay. There wasn't q
tooth in the old dogs mouth and he
had been mootched out Of two big
snifters Of perfectly good rotgut

Blanket Charges Made

and ALI Face Arraign-
ment for Pleading To-day

The Investigation of gambling con-
been under way for five months, re-
suited yesterday in the indictment of
five men, including Sheriff Charles w.
Smith, by the Nassau County grand
jury on charges Of conspiracy. The
indictments were blanket in nature and
specific charges were not disclosed.
In lieu of bench warrants being is
sued Immediately, Supreme Court JUS
tice Townsend Scudder said he would
permit the accused to appear before
him this morning and plead. Besides
Sheriff Smith those indicted are:

Whitney, Of Lawrence. Republican can
didate for reelection; Thomas H.
O'Keefe, postmaster of the village OF
Oyster Bay and former State Senator,
and "Curly Joe" Cassidy, former Demo
cratic leader OF Queens.
Charges Kept Secret
Immediately after the indictments
we're returned District Attorney Charles
R. Weeks was questioned as to the
nature of the charges and the evil
dence secured. He declined to make
any statement until after the men have
been arraigned for pleading to-day
From other sources, however, it was
direct result of the John Doe inquiry
which Justice Scuddcr has conducted
personally for five months.
1t is recalled that when the Nassau
County Association raided several al
legged resorts last year independently
and over the heads of public officials
charges and counter charges were made
that raided proprietors had been prom
ised protection. SO specific did these
charges become that an official investi-
cation was ordered and the empane-
ing Of special grand jury was OBJ
tanned.
Following the raid recently on the
gambling house of David Gideon and
w. II. Bustced both men pleaded guilty
and were fined $1,000, in addition to
being sentenced to Sing Sing for six
months. The sentence was suspended
and both appeared before the grand
jury. The testimony given by them. it
is believed. went far 20 cause yester-
days additional indictments

"Curly joe Cassidy, whose career as
Democratic boss of Queens was ended
