DEL UTT SLUGGED IN
FLORIDA BY BANDIT.

A. L. UT writes to friends here
from Jacksonville, Fla, that he was
slugged and robbed while walking on
the street one block from the West
moreIand Hotel, where he was stay
ing, about two weeks ago. A negro
Jumped out from an alley, slugged
UT, robbed him and then made his
getaway He struck Utt with a blunt
instrument on the left cheek and
knocked the northern man down. Mr..
UT was badly stunned, but when he
came to, he got up and walked to the
hotel and summoned physician.
His cheek was cut open and his left
eve and the side of his face badly
bruised. He has had it dressed every
day and it is healing nicely now and
he hopes to proceed on his trip in a
few days. The negro got only about
$3.50 in silver, a pocket knife, bunch
of keys and 100000 in Travellers
checks, which, of course, will not be
a loss. Mr.. UT saved his watch and
some paper money he had with him,
and the doctor told him that he es-
caped very luckily as a slight differ
ence in the blow which he received
might have proven much more SER
ious. as it was very near the temple.

SPECHT'S FERRY
BIRD LOVER DEAD

J. A. Rhomberg, IS, Specht's Ferry,
friend of birds and wild animals, died
last week Mr. RhOmberg entered
the limelight last summer when
game wardens swooped down on his
farm and made him release a flock
of interesting song birds he had kept
as pets and sheltered for years. A
number Of cardinals, since their re-
lease, have steadfastly refused to
leave the premises, and flew back
into the room the old man had set
aside, whenever possible. Dogs, cats,
pigeons, ducks, chickens, pigs, cows
and other animals, all lived in har-
mony in the wonderland of nature
their aged protector provided His
loving care and all the products OF
the farm were theirs. The old man
was greatly incensed and grieved
when the game wardens issued their
arbitrary orders, wondering what his
pets would do and also threatening to
go back to his native country where
pursuits such as his were better
understood

To avoid a conflict with the Fenni-

short end. The public will be disap-
pointed at this but no more so than

NOT GUILTY.
JURY SAYS IN
EDWARDS CASE
Defense Submitted That
Quarantine Card Was
Illegally Worded.

The case of the state VS. DR.. Verne
c. Edwards, Platteville chiropractor,
| alleged violation of the law relating
to entrance into homes under quaran-
tine for contagious disease without
being a physician, health officer, nurse
or clergyman, was tried in justice
court Friday, resulting in verdict If
mot guilty"
The complaint was made by F. F.
Bowman, officer for the state board
of health, who alleged that on Nov.
%, Mr.. Edwards had entered the
home Of Mrs. Alkaline Helling, Platte
vile, while the home was under quar-
antine for scarlet fever. The state
commended that Mr.. Edwards was not
a physician, health officer, nurse or
minister, hence was guilty of viola
ting the law.
The defense, on the other hand,
submitted that Mr. Edwards had been
called to attend the Helling girl and
discovered that she was i'll with scar
let fever. He reported this to DR..
Cunningham, local health officer who
quarantined the home. 1t is said that
Mr.. Edwards asked for a permit to
enter the home and that this permit
was promised him but never given.
The chiropractOr continued to visit
the home, making eighteen trips. The
patient recovered and and he ceased
calling on her.
The defense submitted that the
quarantine card was illegal by being
improperly worded. The defense
submitted that the state law gave
chiropractors the right to practice
their profession and did not define
any specific ailments they could not
treat
The jury, out for one hour, had two
points to consider, so one of the jury
men said Saturday. One was the law
on quarantine of Communicable dis
ease which specifically forbids any
persons except those of occupation
named in the foregoing paragraph
from visiting quarantined home.
The other was statute relating to
chiropractors which gives the pro-
fession the right to practice. In this
case the jury took the view that the
Helling family had declared Mr.. Ed
wards to be their attending physician
when they summoned him to care for
their child. This intention existed
through the period of illness as no
other doctor was called in. The jury
concluded that the defendant was in
effect the doctor in charge of the
case although it is plainly the in
tention of the state board of health
to define the word physician" as
meaning a regular medical doctor
licensed to practice by the state. The
chiropractors are not licensed but
are permitted" to practice.
DR.. Wilson Cunningham, Louis
Korber, DR.. Edwards and Mrs. Ada
line Helling testified in the case. The
jury was made up as follows: Ru-
dolph C. Sanders, Chas. c. Roberts,
Wesley Cooley, L. J.. Starr, John D.
Henkel, Archie l.. Parkins.
A similar case tried at Horizon, in
which Dr. Breithaupt, former Ian
caster resident, and a chiropractor,
was the defendant, also resulted in
an acquittal.

Win Football Title
of China, 5 Games

Picking, Feg. 1S.-The football cham
pionship of China has now been won
by team representing the American
marines stationed in Peking as the le-
CATION guard.
The title was won after the cham
pionship of North China had been
clinched by a defeat of the 10th In
fantry and by game with the team
from the American Club of Shanghai
which went to the credit of Picking by
score of 35 to TO- The final game

of December.
The marine team had practiced for
about two months under the coaching
Of Captain Tenney. former halfback

ball which they put up would have
compared favorably with that of many
college teams in America and through
out the short season of three games
the marine squad was relieved Of all
other duties. The trip to Shanghai
was taken by II men and the squad
was accompanied by Colonel Karmany,
commander Of the legation guard in

SILK U|vDERCL0THES
WORN IN RUSSIA To
PREVENT LICE BITES
Recommended by American
Physician as Measure to
Ward Off Typhus Fever.

Moscow. Feb. 1S.-The wearing Of
silk underclothes as protection
against lice bites. whereby typhus IS
contracted. has been recommended BY
DIR. Henry Beeuwkes, chief of the
medical division of the American re-
lief administration.
Typhus is the chief contagious
disease now prevalent in Russia. and
any one travelling in railway trains or
living in Russian houses or hotels is
apt to be bitten by lice, such is the
general uncleanliness of both trains
and dwellings, and the people them
selves. due to oyercrowding. lack OF
soap. and changes of clothes.
As possibly 80 per cent of Russ1a's
population has had typhus, the danger
is far greater to the foreigner.
Lice are also fought through drugs
which offend their sense of smell.
Lump camphor worn in the pockets is
supposed to drive them off, post-haste.,
Russians use napthalene mixture for.
this purpose. but it's smell is so
nauseauting to the wearer that many
prefer to take their chances with
the lice.
The Pasteur institute. at Paris. de-,
vised an anti-lice odor which is in
general use. as an issue article.
among French troops serving in the.
Orient.
SO great is the danger of contract
ing typhus that the Americans in Russia
are taking the above precautions, and
all others then can think of. :.
1t is recommended that women en-
tering Russia should have an ample
supply of silk stockings.
