STORIES OF GREAT INDIANS
JOSEPH BRANT, WHO WAS PRE-
 SENTED AT COURT
Bu Elmo Scon Uaison

CAMPBELL was better poet than - historian. For Joseph Brant (Thay- endanegea-"He Places Together Two Belts"), chief of the Mohawks, had no part in the famous Wyoming valley massacre in Pennsylvania in 17TS, all though he did lead the Indians at two others equally, bad-Minisink and Cherry valley.
 Through the friendship of Sir Will. , liam Johnson, young Thayendanegea was sent to Dr. Eleazer Wheelock's school in Connecticut. He returned to Johnson hall and became Sir Williams assistant and interpreter.
 At the outbreak of the Revolution the Iroquois were wavering between joining the British and the Americans. Doctor WheelOck wrote to his former pupil, presenting every argument in favor of the Americans. "I well re- member the days in your home," re- piled Brant, And especially do l re- member the family prayers and how you prayed that we might live as good subjects to fear God and honor the king!"
 Brant went to England in 1775. He | was presented to the king and, al- though he wore the costume of his people, his gracious manners and per feet English made him favorite in court circles. Before he left London, he had promised to lead 5000 war. riors into the field under the British flag. .... .....
 Although his name became a word of terror along the New York frontier, he was not wholly merciless. Once he captured an old frieud named Vroman, whom he sent into She woods to get some birchbark, hoping that he would escape. A few hours later Vroman returned with the bark-which Brant did not want You had a chance to escape, but you were too big fool to take 1t. So now l shall have to take you to Canada as 8 prisoner" exclaimed the Mohawk chief with much disgust. ....
 After the Revolution ended Brant remained in Canada. where he was granted a pension by the British and given large estate in Ontario. Here he held "barbaric court with e:'nue of 30 negro servants. surrounded by gay Soldiers, cavaliers in powdered wigs and all the motley assemblags of that picturesque era" and here he died November A, 1907.

WILL BUY LANDS FOR SOLDIERS

An appropriation of $100,Oo0, was made by the state of Arizona for the purchase of 320 acres of land for the use of ex-soldiers. A committee was named by Gov. Campbell to examine IS parcels of land that had been of fered to the state for the purpose, it being agreed that these IS parcels were satisfactory for the purposes of the world war veterans. In conform ity with this tender the State Land Commission is asking for proposals for the sale to it of suitable lands, the tender to be made prior to the 9th day of December, 1922. Anyone having lands described in an advertisement in this issue of the Miner should al once communicate with Rudolph Kuechler, chairman of the commission at Phoenix.

was making an effort to draw them up be-
meath him as a dog does just before he
rises from a reclining posture.
On the tenth day "Sandy" stamped his
feet while standing in the walker. 1t was
his first effort to walk. He had not enough
strength to do more than merely lift
each hind foot, but there was no doubt Of
his earnestness.
Throughout the period before that hap
pened it should be stated that DR.. Bal
thaser had been giving the dog internal
medicines of various kinds. One of the
dangers was that the injury to the spinal
column had damaged the nerves control
ling the major organs.
The combination of medicine, massage
and electric treatments finally brought the
long awaited evidence that the organs
were not permanently damaged. From
that time on it was only a question of
time and patience. Day by day the Aire-
dale, true to the traditions of his breed,
showed a little more energy. At last he
tried to get up unaided.
On the sixteenth day the supports in
The Washington times., 1922-07-09

his treatment, which would have to be as
scientifically regulated as if he were in
reality more human than dog.
All that had been done up to that time,
however, was merely preliminary. The
day after he had taken the case DIR. Bal
thaser started series of electric and mas
sage treatments. He knew that if nature
were not aided, some of the motor nerves
might become atrophied from lack of use
while the dog was trussed up so tightly,
and even though the bone healed it might
be necessary to shoot him.
1t was necessary, Of course, to take the
animal out of the cage to massage him.
In so doing DR.. Balthaser had another
idea He determined to construct
walker similar to those used for human
infants, in which "Sandy" could be kept
in an upright position for some hours
without any strain whatever.
The walker is shown in one of the ac-
companying illustrations. It was merely
a device on ball-bearing wheels contain
ing a swing that could be raised or low

was wrapped about the dogs forequarters
and chest, so that it was quite certain
when the cast hardened there could be no
movement of the spine from that direc-
ton.
Then three splints were laid on. One
was placed along either eide of the trunk,
the other along the line of the spine. All
three reached from shoulder to hip and
were we'll padded.
Within few minutes after the job was
completed Sandy could no more bend his
spine than he could fly. The dog was laid
on his side in wire kennel, on soft
bedding. His hind legs were still totally
paralyzed. Examination of the break had
convinced the surgeon that before he sue
ceeded in relieving it by setting the bones
there had been considerable pressure on
the spinal column.
When this became evident the surgeon
realized the gravity of the case he had
tackled. He knew that the dog was held
in a splint and plaster vice so strong that
he never would be able to move until the
verterbrae had knitted together.
But after that what? Unless the spinal
cord was completely healed the dog would
be worse off than before. He would
have undergone the necessary suffering
attending his cure and convalescence, and
in the end would be a paralytic-
crippled and practically worthless, so far
as dogs 60.
But urged by Mr.. Scott the veterinary
determine to continue his experiment,
even IL in the end II did mean bullet,
provided "Sandy's" backbone in healing
The Washington times., 1922-07-09

failed to allow the injuries in the lacerated
spinal cord to heal also.
There was no way to determine just
how much damage had been done to the
nerve cable by the jagged ends of the
bone; no way, that is, except to await
developments. There was always the pos
sibility that even if the bone healed prop
erly the damage to the spinal column
would be such as to keep the hind legs
permanently paralyzed.
When he was quite sure that the
broken ends of bone could not be shaken
apart by any movement of the dog, DR..
Balthaser rigged up a sort of swing from
the top of the cage. This was so arranged
that it could be slipped under "Sandy"
every day so that he could be raised to
standing position.
The surgeon planned to prevent bed
method, and to give the dog at least one
of his meals standing up. He also de-
signed small table so arranged that the
Airedale could eat, while standing, with
out lowering his head.
That was done because of the knowl-
edge that when a dog drops his head he
arches his spine. The surgeon sought to
overlook nothing that would help to elm
mate the possibility Of a jar to the broken
bones.
II "Sandy" had been human patient
nothing more could have been done with
him than DR.. Balthaser's ingenious devices
permitted. But all these devices were
purely mechanical. The great difficulty
was to come in the care given the dog and
The Washington times., 1922-07-09

A N Airedale terrier, seven months old,
~ the only "hunch-back" dog in the
~ world, is running around in Phila-
Aelpha despite a slight curve in his spinal
column. Except for that curve and one
other thing he is just like any other dog
of his age, although he cannot jump quite
as high and his stride when he runs is
shorter and less powerful.
The other thing is the fact that he can
bite his tail only by turning to the left.
When he attempts to reach it by swinging
his head to the right Sandy" the Aire-
dale, is never quite able to reach it.
"Sandy" is an extraordinary dog. Less
than two months ago he was run down by
an automobile, one of the heavy wheels
of which passed over his body. His back
bone was broken at the eleventh thoracic
vertebra and several of the adjacent ver-
tebrae were dislocated.
When his owner, John w. Scott, Sd,
picked up the dog the animals legs and
hind quarters hung limp and paralyzed.
By all the rules of dogdom the only thing
to do was to put the pup out of his misery
with a quick hypodermic or bullet.
But in the few months that had elapsed
since Mr.. Scott and his wife had pur-
chased the animal in Scotland there had
developed that indescribably deep attach
ment that, only real dog lovers know.
As is natural with Airedales, the dog
proved himself keenly courageous and
lifesaver. He had not long made the ac-
auaintance of the children in his neigh
borhood when he became their boon COM
panion.
One day an automobile truck thun-
dered down the middle of the street while
the children and dog were at play. The
truck, a fve-ton monster, was heavily
loaded. As shower had just cleared off
the pavements were slippery and the
rumbling truck, forced by the heavy load,
came down the slight incline of the street
faster than the chauffeur intended. He
footed his horn, sending the children
scampering in all directions-all but one
little eight-year-old girl who became be-
wildered by the noise and did not know
where to run for safety.
The dog seemed to sense her predica-
ment and, throwing himself at the child,
dragged her out of danger as the trunk
Numbered by, sliding and grinding up
the roadbed in spite of the fact that the
emergency brakes had already been ap-
oiled. So it happened the "Sandy's" name
and fame in the neighborhood had al
ready been made.
Therefore the owner determined that
before deciding to kill his pet he would
enlist the best veterinary skill obtainable
20 see if by any chance the dogs life
might be preserved. He did not know
that the back was broken or it is possible
that he might have thought medical atten-
ton futile.
A hurried telephone call brought DR..
Harry B. Balthaser, who is to animal sur
gerry what the famous Mayo brothers are
to the art of repairing the internal mech
anism of the human being.
From the description Of the dog given
to him over the telephone DR.. Balthaser
came to the conclusion that his spine had
been injured. As soon as he saw the
crippled animal and had run practiced
fingers over his back he knew what had
happened.
The Washington times., 1922-07-09

of living could be made slower, which
they said could be done by getting him
accustomed to extraordinarily low tenn
should not live for hundreds of years. So
far no scientist has shown how man can,
become accustomed to the lower >tempera-
lures, however.
At any rate, the cast was taken off the
dog the fourth week, and it was found
that Sandy" was able once again to
stand and walk An X-ray photograph was
taken before the cast was permanently
removed, that showed the bones had
healed.
At the expiration of the fifth week the
dog was discharged" from the hospital.
and sent home. He was soon romping.
about the lawn with as much eagerness
as ever, but it will be some time be-
fore he regains the full strength of his
hind legs. .....
DR.. Balthaser says that the only reason
he was able to bring about a cure was that
the case was brought to his attention
shortly after the accident. He reached
the dog and set the bones, thus relieving
the pressure on the spinal nerve, in Just
three-quarters of an hour after the acci-
dent.
Had there been any greater delay it is:
quite probable that the bones would have
so torn the spinal cord by the inordinate
movements of the dragging, paralyzed
hind legs, that paralysis would have been
permanent. l.
Scientists throughout the country are
interested in the exploit, and ever since
the announcement Of "Sandy's" cure was
made there has been steady stream of
visitors to the home Of his owner. The
X-ray and Photographic records as well as
the history and treatment Of the case are
widely sought by scientific men.
The Washington times., 1922-07-09

1t was the work of but a few
moments for the surgeon to snap
the dislocated vertebrae into place
and to bring together the broken
ends. He put on a temporary
splint, laid "Sandy" gently in the
bottom of his car and took him to
his private emergency hospital.
Never before in his experience
had he been called on to repair
the broken back of any animal
The place was not equipped for
that work. But whether they
operate on human beings or on
animals surgeons are generally re-
sourceful if they attain any stand
ing in the profession.
DR.. Balthaser rugged ups an
emergency sling that he suspended
from the water pipe overhead. He
found a shoe box to give addi-
tional support to the dogs trunk.
A little examination showed that

"Sandy" literally had to :
learn how to walk again.
Even on tn nineteenth
day he was unable to :
stand unaided. But by
two days later-iust :
three weeks from the
time of the accident-the
dog was using his hind
legs in short steps, by .
pulling the walker along :
with his front legs; his
hind legs followed halt
ingly, to be sure, but
surely. At this time the

In this connection it is
interesting to note that
the bones of a dog heal
from two to four times
faster than those of a,
human being. That is due
to the fact that the rate I:
of life Of a dog is faster.
Just as his length of life :
is shorter, so a dogs
